Last Chapter
Remus looked around as he, James, Sirius, and Peter got into one boat. Remus finally saw what he was looking for, Jen was getting into a boat with a girl, who had auburn hair, but as he watched he noticed that no one really saw here. The girl with the auburn hair was talking to a girl with light brown hair. Again he wondered how she could go so unnoticed by the people around her.
The Feast
The boat ride was uneventful other than Sirius trying to tip the boat his cousins, Bellatrix and Narcissa Black, were in. When they reached the other side of the black, they got out and were ushered into the entrance hall. A stern witch came out and explained about the feast and the houses and then left. Remus watched as she left and decided that he never wanted to be on her bad side.
A few minutes later the witch came back and led them inside the great hall. They were lead up in front of the staff's table. The stern witch went up in front and put a stool in the middle of the hall and put a hat on it.
Remus heard James and Sirius talking about the enchanted ceiling in the great hall. He didn't realize until he looked up that the ceiling was enchanted to look like the sky. As Remus looked at the ceiling he heard music but it was too caught up in the ceiling to realize that the hat was singing. He was taken out of his thoughts when the stern witch started saying kid's names. Now he was nervous he didn't know what to do or if he would even be sorted into a house because of what he was. Then he heard a name he recognized.
"Black, Bellatrix" She walked up and put the hat on. The hat was only one for a couple of seconds when it said, "Slytherin". Sirius's other cousin Narcissa was also put in Slytherin. Now, Remus thought, it was …
"Black, Sirius" Sirius with his head held high walked up and sat on the stool. The hat took a little longer to decide where Sirius should go. Finally it said, "Gryffindor". With a huge smile on his face, Sirius made his way to the Gryffindor table. As Remus watched Sirius his own thoughts turned back to what house he was going to be in, if any.
"Evans, Lily" The girl with auburn hair was sent to Gryffindor along with the girl with light brown hair named Heidi Gale.
"Healen, Samuel" was put into Ravenclaw.
"Jorlly, Liam" was made a Hufflepuff.
The witch saying "Lupin, Remus" pulled Remus out of his thoughts as he walked up to the hat and put it on. A minute later it said, "Gryffindor". Remus looked up surprised and made his way over to sit next to Sirius. They talked about when they were going to start the charm until they heard…
"Pettigrew, Peter" Peter look really pale. Remus was scared that he might faint, but Peter got up to the stool just fine. He put on the hat.
Peter's POV
Where should I put you? I think that you might do well in Slytherin.
'Please not in Slytherin. I would like to be in Gryffindor with my friends.'
Loyalty, Hufflepuff prides itself on loyalty.
'No please, I would like to be in Gryffindor.'
If that is where your heart truly lies then it will be "Gryffindor".
Normal POV
Both Sirius and Remus clapped hard when the hat had said, "Gryffindor". When Peter sat down Sirius said, "And you thought you were going to be in the Hufflepuff." Peter, with a small smile, said, "Yeah I guess I was scared for nothing." Peter knew that no matter what, he would never be able to tell them what he had heard the hat say. Sirius looked up and said, "You guys James is next."
"Potter, James" The hat didn't even take a minute to decide he was going to be in Gryffindor. James came over and they decided they should probably start to charm the Slytherin's plates. There were a lot of plates to do.
"Snape, Severus" was made a Slytherin. James looked up and said, "He looks like a Slytherin to me. Look at him. It looks like he hasn't washed his hair in days."
"Stone, Jennifer" The hall got quiet. Then people started to whisper to each other. "Stone, did McGonagall say Stone?" Peter looked over to Sirius and asked, "Why is every one talking about Stone?"
Sirius replied, "Stone is one of the names that is a pureblood. Jennifer's parents went missing ten years ago. No one knows where they are. The last I heard was that her parents left her with her grandparents and never came back."
"Yeah, I would have thought that if she lived we would have heard about her before today." James looked up so he could see what Jen looked like. Remus then understood why she didn't want people to know her. That would have brought up unwanted questions.
"Gryffindor" Jen came over and sat down with everyone saying, "I would have thought Stone would have been in Slytherin" "Don't forget that one of the Blacks didn't go to Slytherin either." The whispering only stopped after Professor McGonagall (at least that was what James heard from another student) cleared her throat.
James looked over and saw Sirius concentrating. That is when James remembered that they were supposed to be charming the Slytherin's plates. He quickly hit Peter to get his attention. Peter's "what?" pulled Remus out of his own thoughts. Finally everyone got to charming, and when then they were done Professor McGonagall said, "Wall, Melissa." James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter watched as Melissa was sorted into Ravenclaw. McGonagall rolled up the parchment and took both the hat and the stool away.
Professor Dumbledore spoke about the Forbidden Forest and other things but James and Sirius heard nothing of it. Sirius's eyes lit up when Dumbledore said, "Forbidden Forest". Peter was sure that Sirius would try to go into it. He would see it as an adventure and nothing more.
"This year a Whomping Willow has been planted so please stay away from it. We don't want any of you to get hurt. With the announcements done let's eat." Food appeared magically. Sirius, James, and Peter instantly began pilling food on their plates. "Remus, aren't you hungry?" Sirius hit Remus on the arm "Hello any one home?"
"Yeah sorry just thinking about what Dumbledore said during that speech. I wonder why he didn't…" Remus never got to finish his sentence because at that exact moment you could hear protests from the Slytherin table.
"Hey wait a minute I can't put food on my plate." "At least yours doesn't spit food back in your face." With that every student turned towards the Slytherin table, and laughed because of the scene they saw in front of them.
The Slytherin plates wouldn't keep food on it. Some would throw the food back in the owners face, but with some the food would just hover over the plates. Professor Collins, as later the four-some would learn, walked over and tried to charm the plates back to normal but nothing worked.
Dumbledore then walked over and did one spell, which no one heard over the laughter, and the plates went back to normal. Dumbledore looked around the room, his eyes sparkling with laughter behind his half-moon spectacles. "Now that we have that matter settled please everyone please continue eating."
The four-some was surprised how well that the charm worked. The rest of the meal was uneventful. Remus looked over at Jen several times throughout the meal. He had only seen her eat a half of a sandwich. Remus decided that he must have missed her eating other things, because seriously no one could only eat half a sandwich with all there foods in front of them.
After all the deserts had been eaten Dumbledore announced that is was time to head up to bed. While on the way to the common room, everyone stopped. There was this boy that was wearing Slytherin robes, and he seemed to be picking on a first year.
Then to everyone surprised they heard a voice say, "Wow Malfoy, I am so proud. You surely impress me, picking on first year and a Hufflepuff no less." The crowd parted and Jen walked right up to the boy with blond hair.
"Stone, I didn't even know you survived. I thought maybe your grandparents would have left you because obviously you did something to make your parents leave you."
Jen didn't even look fazed by the comment. She actually looked like she was laughing. "Touché, Malfoy, touché." He walked over to her and said, "How about we start this all over again. Hi, I am Lucius Malfoy." "I am Jen Stone, nice to meet you."
With that comment Sirius looked at James and said, "Well I guess being put into Gryffindor doesn't mean you are a Gryffindor." Peter was about to ask what that meant but everyone had started walking to the common room. Peter decided that he would just ask the next day.
Everyone went up to their dormitories and as soon as their head hit the pillow they were asleep. Well almost everyone. The only person who was left awake was Jen, and she was sitting in the common room reading.
