Chapter 11: The Sorting Hat Ceremony

As she got closer she saw some familiar teachers like Professor McGonagall, but of course a much younger version of Professor McGonagall. Mia also saw the future teacher from Care of Magic Creatures and also the current Keeper of Hogwarts: Hagrid.

Then as she was looking at Hagrid (Who was really young) she saw Headmaster Dumbledore. He looked the same as the old Dumbledore he was still skinny and had his long beard and mustache and the same half moon glasses. The only difference between the past Dumbledore and the future Dumbledore was that he didn't have that much white hair.

"Hello," said the Headmaster with a friendly smile.

"Hello, Professor Dumbledore." Mia said looking rather nervous. "May I have a word with you?"

"Of course you can, but it would have to be quick because we are about to start the Sorting Ceremony" Professor Dumbledore replied.

"Headmaster, I don't expect you to believe what I am about to say but," Mia took a deep breath and said. "I am from the future"

"I see" he said calmly.

"I am the Princess of the Wizardry World in the future. I have no clue of how I got here or what brought me here but the thing is that... I don't know how to get back." Mia said looking very confused.

"All right, and what is your name?" he asked.

"My name is Emilia Crownwell, but my friends call me Mia"

"All right Ms.Crownwell, do you remember anything odd that might have happened before you ended in our time?" Professor Dumbledore asked.

Mia tried remembering everything that had happened before she was taken back in time. She remembered Harry dancing with her, and then she fell. Harry tried helping her get up but instead he got close to Mia and was about to kiss her. Nothing really seemed odd. Then she remembered.

"My necklace" she said under her breath.

"Yes Ms.Crownwell?" Dumbledore asked.

"Before I ended up here I remember this light coming from my necklace and the Marauders Map glowing."

"What necklace are you talking about?"

"My Grandfather Darwin gave me a necklace to warn me when there was danger ahead and..."

"Do you mean Darwin the Powerful Wizard from Spain" Dumbledore interrupted her.

"Yes, do you know him?"

"Yes, I know him he used to work in the Ministry of Magic. Would you be kind enough to let me see the necklace?"

"Sure" Mia said touching her neck to see where the necklace was but couldn't find it. "Oh no, I don't have it. God please don't tell me I lost it."

"It's all right Ms.Crownwell." Dumbledore try to make her feel better because he notice that she was about to cry. "I personally would help you find your necklace. But now we have to start the Sorting Ceremony"

"Headmaster, Do am I going to be sorted into a house?"

"Yes, we don't want anybody to suspect about you. But for now you could sit in any table and we would call you to be sorted into a house"

"Umg... Headmaster?"

"Yes Ms.Crownwell?"

"On the Sorting Ceremony in my time they had ask me and... my friend to open the Sorting Ceremony and you Sir asked us to wear Chinese clothes because there was going to be a dance in honor to the new 1st graders and I was wandering if you could... have... I mean... can you..."

"Oh you mean you want to have a ball in this time. Right?"

"Yes sir, can I?"

"You know that's a very good idea"

"Thanks sir"

"But... Ms.Crownwell could you wear Muggle dance clothes... you know those black skirts and black shirts or whatever they are called instead of those Chinese clothes"

"Oh... you mean Jazz Clothes, yeah, sure." She nodded and went to sit in the Gryffindor table with the only person she wasn't mad at: Lupin.

Then the Sorting began. The sorting felted like ages and more because she couldn't wait until she was sorted into a house and James and Sirius would stop staring at her like if she was some kind of painting. But when the last 1st grader was sorted into Slytherin, Dumbledore stood up and said:

"Ms.Crownwell, would you please come over here?"

Mia stood up, Everyone's eyes were on her as she walk towards the old, wise Sorting hat. As she sat in the stool Headmaster Dumbledore started talking again.

"This is Emilia Crownwell and she is an exchange student from... where are you from?" he asked Mia under his breath.

"Rome"

"Oh yeah, right. She is an exchange student from Rome. She is on... what grade are you in?" he asked her again.

Mia giggled and the Marauders did too after she answered:

"I'm on my sixth year"

"Yes all right, she is on her sixth year, now let the sorting began" he said and putted the Sorting hat in her head.

The hat took a moment to decide what house he was going to put her. When the hat was deciding where he was going to put her Mia felted very nervous. She was afraid she might end up in Slytherin because she was a pureblood, but then she remembered that the Sorting hat had putted her in Gryffindor in the future so he probably will put her in Gryffindor in the past. Finally after a minute that felted like ages to her the hat finally spoke:

"You shall be in: GRYFFINDOR!!!" She took a deep calm breath and put on a smile and sat next to Lupin and started to eat. She was happy and relive that she was in Gryffindor, but at the same time she regret being in Gryffindor because now James and Sirius would have more chances to make her mad at anytime they wanted to.
