It was just another year at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry. It was the starting of the school year. And the first years have just been sorted. Our golden trio are sitting at the gryffindor table. Ron especially wanted the sorting to end faster so the food can start coming in.

"Get on with it" Ron said clutching his poor stomach "I hope Dumbledore's speech will be short this year"

"Ron!" his girlfriend Hermione Granger chided.

"What?" Ron asked.

"Is all you think about is food?"

"No, I also think about quidditch" Ron answered.

"Arrgg I give up" Hermione said.

Their best friend Harry Potter grinned at their antics. It's been a long time since he fully grinned. His godfather dieing last year at the department of mysteries was a huge hit for him. He was just beginning to let go. This years batch of first years had been a whole lot less than last years, Harry guessed that many families didn't want to part with their children.

"Shhh Professor Dumbledore's going begin his speech" He told the couple.

"Welcome back older students, and simply welcome to first years" Dumbledore started. "Before I start my beginning of the year speech, I would like to introduce some transfer students that will be entering the 6th year, they will be sorted now"

Professor McGonagall came back up with the sorting hat and stool. She unrolled the parchment. "Asakura Hao from the Americas"

The door to the great hall opened and a guy in a cape with long brown hair came in and sat on the stool calmly letting the hat on his head. Most of the girls swooned at the site of such a cute boy, while the boyfriends and brothers of the girls glared at the guy.

'Oh you again' the hat said. 'didn't I sort you a couple of hundred years ago?'

'You could say that" Hao told it.

"SLY...! Wait what is this? the hat said. He plucked the memory from Hao's head and replayed it, making it a sort of flashback for Hao.

~~~Flashback~~~

Hao was defenseless, tired, drained. His spirit, spirit fire, was chopped up and he had no where to go. Somehow he landed in Japan and looking at the calendar, it was 2 months later after the shaman tournament.

Up ahead Hao saw a dojo and decided to go and ask for lodging. He knocked on the door and waited for a few minutes. After 4 minutes passed he was about to leave when the door opened. To his surprise he saw Yoh. Half expecting Yoh to kick him out he turned around and started to leave when...

"Wait!" Yoh called out. "You could come in if you want, we were just eating dinner. Does ramen sound good?"

~~~End~~~

And from then on he lived with Yoh and Anna. Of course Anna forced him to do all these chores as Yoh wouldn't allow him to be kicked out. But it was his happiest memory as no one has been nice to him unless it was for personal gain. Over the two years that Hao was with them, the other shamans who came over to visit Yoh were surprised to see hao there, but they became used to him and for most of the time, did not go into oversoul when ever they saw him.

'I see, from your reactions to this memory, I sort you into....."GRYFINNDOR!"

All the girls at the gryfinndor table clapped and cheered while the girls at the other tables sighed hoping that there will be other foreign boys just as cute as this one going into their house.

Hao walked over to the gryfinndor table and chose to sit at the edge of the table near our golden trio.

"next is Asakura Yoh from Japan" Professor McGonagall announced. Everyone waited looking at the doors......................................................................................................................................................

"YOOHHH! That's you!" they heard a voice say.

"O really?" the boy presumed to be Yoh said. "OK" Then a boy that looked almost identical to Hao came walking through the door. He was half way toward the great hall he yawned and actually looked around. "HI" he said as if he did this everyday.

"Aww he is so adorable!" Hao heard some girls say.

When Yoh finally reached the front of the hall, Prof McGonagall gave him a disapproving look before she motioned for him to sit on the stool.

'Another Asakura?' The hat asked.

"yup that's my brother Hao" Yoh answered happily.

Normally I would sort you to Hufflepuff but you are not followers material. Saved the world once too didn't you, that's good you will have experience to do it again'

"wait what do you mean do it again?" Yoh asked.

The Hat didn't answer this question but went to looking around Yoh's head again.

After a few minutes, the hat came up with a decision "GRYFINNDOR!"

Again all the girls at the gryfinndor table cheered, while the girls at the other table groaned.

"Hey Hao" Yoh said as he sat next to Hao on the gryfinndor table.

"Hey Yoh" Hao replied.

"Horo Horo of the Aniu clan up in the North"

A guy with blue spiky hair came bounding through the doors to the great hall and stopped right in front of Prof. McGonagall, "you call?" He asked. The girls giggled at his antics while the boys growled.

Looking a little frustrated at these new exchange students, Prof McGonagall said, "Sit on this stool and put this hat on your head"

"ok....." Horo Horo started to sti down when, "Wait a minute! What if your hat has lice in it? I am not going to wear that old hat" He proclaimed. By now everyone was waiting for Prof McGonagall to explode and give him a thousand years of detention when..............another boy came through the door.

This one had purple hair, yellow eyes and a very, very serious face. "Just put the damn hat on Horo Horo" He said.

"I don't want to," Horo Horo taunted back. "Can you make me?"

"O yes I could" The boy in purple hair said as he stalked up to the platform Horo Horo was standing at.

The rest of the hall was watching those two funnily along with a little bit of horror, afraid of learning how Prof McGonagall will punish them.

Hao was sniggering at their antics while Yoh stood up.

"Stop" Yoh said softly, "There is no need to fight, wait your turn to put on the hat Ren," He said, "And Horo Horo, put the hat on, I'm getting hungry"

"Fine Yoh" The two boys said.

The hall was pretty shocked about how those two calmed down so suddenly with just a whisper from Yoh.

"A hem" Prof McGonagall said as she straightened a little and put the hat onto Horo Horo's head.

'Another shaman?' The hat asked.

"Wha?? Whose there?" Horo Horo asked shocked.

'Why, it's me the sorting hat' The hat chuckled. 'Why I see that you are pretty ditzy'

"DITZY??? I am not ditzy" Horo Horo shouted back in response.

'all right, all right, no need to shout' the hat said.

'I would normally put you in Hufflepuff like that Yoh kid, but you have to help him achieve his destiny so I must put you in the same house as him so I put you in GRYFFINDOR!"

"Wait, but Yoh already achieved his destiny, he is the shaman king, what are you talking about?? Answer me!" Horo Horo asked, but the Hat was already taken off his head.

"Wait, I need the hat to answer some questions for me!" Horo Horo exclaimed.

"ALL your question will be answered in due time." Prof McGonagall answered as she called up the next person.

"Ren Tao of the Tao family in China" she called out.

The guy that previously stalked through the great hall walked up the platform and sat on the stool waiting for the hat to be put onto his head.

'well yet another shaman, aren't I lucky today' the hat said.

'yes you are, now hurry up and sort me, you rag'

'my my what an attitude, I want to put you in Slytherin, but alas I can not'

"and why may I inquire can you not?" Ren asked.

'you shall know in time'

"Sound like what that old hag told Horo Horo back there" Ren said.

"yes, but it is true, now why don't you go to your appropriate house as a GRYFFINDOR!"

Along with that call came cheers from the girls at Gryffindor and the groans of the girls in other houses. 'The gyrffindors have just gotten all the new hot exchange students, the other girls thought, but that will be no matter, I'll stalk them!' That thought ran through all the ravenclaw, slytherin, and hufflepuff girls.

Boy, were the shamans in for it now.
