James Potter and the Insanity of the Marauders

Chapter Five: The Story and the Sorting

"Black, Sirius?" Professor McGonnagal called out once more. Just then two boys barged into the Great Hall. One of who was "Black, Sirius."

"Sorry Professor. You see it's quite a long story, but I'll tell you anyway," Sirius said as he pushed through the first years.

"Well it all started this morning when my brother stole my hair gel," Sirius started.

"Get to the point," snapped Professor McGonnagal.

"Ok, ok, gotcha Minnie. Anyway, When I arrived at Kings Cross, at exactly 10:50 mind you, I saw my best friend James Potter," Sirius said.

"That would be me!" James said.

"I'm well aware of who you are," McGonnagal said to James, "Is there a point to this story Mr. Black? Because if there isn't, I would like to continue with the sorting."

"I'm getting there, I sat down in a vacant compartment with Jamsie and began to plan something, when a knock at the door startled us," Sirius continued.

"That's us!" Peter pointed out while pointing to himself and Remus.

""Thank you Mr. Pettigrew," McGonnagal said with a hint of sarcasm.

"No problem just trying to help," Peter said not catching her sarcasm..

"Anyway, the I allowed them to join Jamsie and myself in our compartment. We were really good and behaved and everything," Sirius said as McGonnagal snorted.

"And Then out of nowhere, it just started to rain food," Sirius said trying to sound innocent, "It just started to fall from the sky!"

"And we just put on our new robes," James added in.

"Where is this story going Mr. Black?" McGonnagal asked, although Sirius completely ignored her.

"And then we got onto the boats. Keely coughSmithCough and Lily coughEvanscough heard us saying we needed to take a bath, so decided to help us by tipping over the boat," Sirius said sounding pleased with his story.

"And when we made it to shore, Keely beat Sirius up for no reason, so I was tryig to help him get rid of his beautiful black eye," James said.

"Now can we get back to the sorting?" McGonnagal asked, not really caring about his excuse.

"Course Minnie," Sirius said with a smile and jumped onto the stool while everyone stared at him in shock of calling Prof. McGonnagal Minnie.

"Hmm, let's see, another Black! I know just what to do with you..."

"Please, not Slytherin. I'm nothing like the rest of my family..."

"That, is obvious. Well if you say so..."

"Gryffindor!"

Sirius jumped up and began to do a little victory dance.

"That is enough Mr. Black," Professor McGonnagal said with a slight smile.

Once Sirius had finally calmed down, Professor McGonnagal called out, "Cast, Jesenia."

The girl Dnaielle recognized as the same one who haed gowtten in Felicia's "way" and was told off, sat on the stool and was sorted into "Gryffindor."

Next was "Chan, Jennifer."

The girl Danielle had met on the boat confidently walked up and took a seat.

"Ravenclaw!"

Jen smiled at Danielle as she took a seat at the Ravenclaw table.

"Evans, Lily!"

"Good Luck," Danielle and Keely whispered to her.

Lily cautiously walked up and before she knew was taking a seat at the Gryffindor Table.

"Fetter, Ricky!"

A boy with brown hair and the clearest blue eyes you'll ever see sat on the stool and was immediately sorted into, "Gryffindor!"

Ricky took a seat next to Sirius and immediately began to talk about who knows what.

"Kirk, Danielle!" Was the next name called out.

"Good Luck!" Keely whispered.

Not to long after the raggedy hat was placed on Danielle's head, it yelled, "Gryffindor!" And she was off so sit with Lily and the two boys.

"Lupin, Remus!"

Remus slowly walked up and sat down.

"Please don't put me in Slytherin!"

"Why would I do that? You have a kind heart, but you do have a bit of a troublemaking side."

"But because of what I am."

"That means nothing."

"Gryffindor!"

Remus took a seat in between Sirius and Ricky, who were talking about how good-looking they were, and began to talk to Sirius.

Next came, "McDevit, Kevin!"

"It's Kevy!" Kevy said as he took the same seat as others before him.

"Hufflepuff!"

Kevy ran to the Hufflepuff table and took a seat.

A few more people were sorted in to various houses, and then came to, "Moore, Laurren!"

The girl who had told Keely about the gum, and told Lily off for thinking walked up to the stool with an evil grin on her face.

As soon as the hat touched her head, it yelled out, "Slytherin!"

"Olfield, Evelyn."

A short girl with two little brown Pigtails took the seat and was sorted into, "Hufflepuff!"

A few other people were sorted, and then came, "Pettigrew, Peter."

The round little boy walked up the steps to the stool. When he was about to step on the last step, he tripped, and fell all the way down again.

When he finally made it to the top, he was sorted into, "Gryffindor!"

Next came, "Potter, James."

"Gryffindor!"

A few more people were sorted and then they came to "Rocks, Felicia!"

Felicia walked up the steps like she was being crowned queen. She sat down and was sorted into "Slytherin.

Next came Keely.

"Gryffindor!"

"Snape, Severus!"

"Slytherin!"

"Torres, Kim!"

"Ravenclaw!"

And then the last few people were placed, and the feast had begun.

Once the feast was over, and Start of Term notices went out, The first years were lead to the common rooms.

They were directed to their dorms, and were told to settle in because classes started first thing tomorrow morning.

Danielle, Lily and Keely made their way up to the room that they would be sharing with Jesenia Cast.

"Danielle! Why did you leave us when we got off the train?" Keely questioned as the four girls unpacked.

"I didn't mean to, I got separated. Besides I made some friends," Danielle said as she folded her clothes and put them into the wardrobe.

"Well, why didn't you wait for us!" Keely said as she too unpacked.

"I couldn't find you, so I got into a boat," Danielle replied.

"Keely, I don't you just drop it Keely, maybe Danielle just wanted to get away from you," Lily said. She was putting all of her books into the book stand (she was running out of room)

"You're Jesenia right?" Danielle said turning to the quiet girl. She had kept to herself the whole time they were up there.

"Uh-huh," Was all she said.

"Sorry for Felicia flipping out on you like that, she can be nice, when she wants to be," Danielle said to her.

"Oh, yea. You were the one trying to talk to her," Jesenia said with a laugh.

The four girls finished packing and went to bed, or at least got into bed. Danielle and Jesenia continued to talk for a while,(their beds are right next to each other)

Before any of them knew it, it was morning, time for another day.

A/N; Sorry it took so long, my friend had to type it for me, and let's just say, don't ever depend on her!!
