Hello and welcome to yet another chapter of my lovelyful story, and I want to thank everyone who's given me a review thus far. I'm so happy right now...excuse me while I do a dance really quick...okay, I'm back.
Nix is actually appearing in this chapter, Yay! As in you'll finally get to know who she is and whatnot. Oh yes, this is the sorting hat chapter, so I'll have a few random names that have nothing to do with anything, except they all have something to do with something that I really love (whether it's a singer, actor, or character). If anybody out there knows any or all of the characters listed in my story, I'd love to hear from you. I'll list who they all are at the end of the chapter...and now, without further ado...
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this story except for Nix.
The three best friends, otherwise known as the 'Golden Trio' by friends and foes alike, stepped inside the Great Hall and found there way to the Gryffindor table.
"I can even start to explain how much I've missed this place." Hermione took a deep breath and stared at the bewitched ceiling, smiling.
"I know what you mean." Harry responded to her, staring up at the teacher's table and sharing a smile with the one and only Hagrid.
"When do we get to eat?" Ron grumbled along with his stomach and stared at the table in front of him.
"Sometimes I wish his brain was in his head, and not in his stomach!" Hermione laughed at Ron and gave him a little shove.
"Well, what do you expect, I haven't eating anything since this morning." Ron protested, shoving Hermione back as well.
"Yeah, not including the five chocolate frogs, the..." But before Harry could finish off the list of food that Ron had eaten since breakfast, he was interrupted by Professor McGonagall as she lead a group of first years into the Hall.
"Hey, there's that girl that walked into our compartment." Hermione pointed out the cloaked figure standing near the back of the line. "I wonder what she'll be sorted into."
"Looks like a Slytherin to me." Ron stated matter-of-factly, nodding in her direction.
"I don't think she does," Harry voiced his opinion, "I think she looks to nice to be in with that lot. I believe she'll either be a Ravenclaw or maybe even a Gryffindor."
"Oh, lets have a bet on the house she ends up in!" Ron whispered eagerly to his two friends, succeeding in having Hermione roll her eyes at him.
"Okay," Harry smiled eagerly, "I think she'll be in Gryffindor."
"Slytherin." Ron stated as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a sickle. "Anyone who's betting, put one of these into the pile.
Harry reached into his robes and pulled out a sickle to add to the pile.
"Okay, now you all hush. She's setting up the stool." Hermione quieted her best friends as the professor performed the act that Hermione had informed the other two of.
Professor McGonagall grabbed the worn and torn sorting hat and placed it upon the stool as she pulled out the list of the new batch of first years. "After the sorting hat's song, I'm going to call your name, you'll put the hat on your head, then go to where you're sorted. Understood?" She instructed the new group of students who all nodded intimidated by the headmistress.
I welcome you all to yet another year
And grateful we all should be
For it seems that evil's power is nearly here
Growing stronger everyday
But do not be afraid and do not fear
Just find a way to unite once more
Although the way isn't crystal clear
Together we will form the strongest force man has known
As it's the way the founders wished we'd be
The four wizards of renown
Heed my warning and you will discover
I will indeed find the house which you belong
As it's my job to read from your heart
And you'll all know more by the end of my song
Clever, and witty Ravenclaw
Anyone with ready mind
The brave and daring Gryffindor
Whose boldest deeds shine true
Then there's cunning and powerful Slytherin
Where you go to make true friends
And lastly there's just Hufflepuff
Where you'll find hard and loyal workers unafraid of toil
Hurry up and place me on your head so you can see
But remember what I've said about uniting
For four heads are better than three
She started calling out names in alphabetical order, but nobody struck Hermione's fancy until "Josh Groban." was called out. His face was practically flawless; he was definitely going to be one of the more popular guys in Hogwarts.
"I hope he's not going to be in Slytherin." Hermione mumbled to herself, although it was loud enough for Ron to catch it.
"Why do you say that?" Ron questioned her, while looking up at the newest eleven year-old to be sitting up on the stool.
"Because look at him." Hermione pointed to the young boy with the charming and gorgeous face.
"What about him?" Ron hissed, already forming a dislike for the new student.
"Oh Ron, you're such a prat. He's only eleven! Besides, I was just thinking that he might take the place of Cedric or something."
"Nobody could ever take the place of him." Harry sighed, remembering the night that Cedric's life ended tragically.
"I know Harry, I'm just saying..."
But before she could finish the sorting hat shouted out, "Hufflepuff!" and Josh ran at sat down at the table of his new housemates.
"Clive Lewis." Professor McGonagall called out shortly after the previous boy sat down, and Hermione's attention drifted back to the girl standing at the back of the line as the hat shouted out, "Ravenclaw."
Ron stared at the kids filing to be sorting, grumbling at the lack of food entering his stomach, and giving dirty glares to the Josh Groban kid, just incase Hermione was only trying to calm him down when she told him that he was only eleven.
"Gryffindor!" The hat shouted, causing Ron to lose his train of thought.
"Finally." Harry clapped, smiling at the newest member of their house, Dave Lister, whose hair reminded Harry of Lee Jordan.
"What's with his hair?" Draco Malfoy shouted at the new Gryffindor.
"Shut up, you smeghead!" Was the reply given by Dave, who earned respect from all across the Gryffindor table and even getting a pat on the back by Ron.
"Hey Harry, it's the new Cho Chang!" Ron pointed out to the first year now sitting on the stool; Que-Min Ghun was her name.
"What?" Harry shook his head at Ron; "She looks nothing like Cho."
"Didn't say she did." Ron stuck up for himself, trying not to cause a fight with Harry a second time that day.
"Then what are you getting at?" Harry looked at Ron, a little peeved that he brought up Cho.
"I'm just saying that she's really pretty and all, probably going to go out with that Josh Groban fellow. They're also both in Hufflepuff." Ron shrugged, giving the final words on the conversation.
"Wait a minute," Hermione called out to the people around her, "Why'd the hat call her name out of order?"
"Maybe she just got here or something, I didn't see her at the beginning of the sorting." Harry shrugged and watched the line of first years become smaller.
"Yeah, I suppose you're right." Hermione smiled and went back to doing the same as everyone else.
"That guys got to have the weirdest hair I've ever seen." Harry pointed to Jerome Silberman, the newest member of Ravenclaw.
"What about that Dave Lister guy, his hair was pretty strange." Hermione voiced, getting a smile from Dave and the mention of his name.
"Well, I think that Josh Groban kid had weirder hair." Ron huffed, getting an eye roll from both Harry and Hermione.
The sorting hat went on until there was only two people left in the line, and "Senna Wales" was called first. She was strangely beautiful, must have had some sort of veela blood in her, but she was sorted into "Slytherin."
"Hey, this is the girl we voted on." Ron sat up straight to get a good look at the last person standing.
"Nix Wolfwood." Professor McGonagall called and the cloaked girl walked up to the hat and placed it on her head.
Josh Groban: He's one of my favorite singers. I've written many songfictions on his works, and I'm still going at it.
Clive Lewis: He's one of my favorite writers (C. S. Lewis), I'm reading Perelanda right now, and I've finished The Chronicles of Narnia and Out of the Silent Planet.
Dave Lister: He's a character...MY FAVORITE CHARACTER in one of my favorite TV shows, Red Dwarf. (The main character!)
Que-Min Ghun: She's a character in one of my favorite graphic novels, Kill Me, Kiss Me, although it's nothing compared to Trigun (where I got Millie and Nicholas from), Marmalade Boy, or Kare Kano. I've been that she reminds people of me...so I feel special!
Jerome Silberman: He's actually Gene Wilder, my favorite actor. (He changed his name before he went into show-biz). I LOVE GENE WILDER! I've seen almost all of his movies, and my favorite is The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Smarter Brother.
Senna Wales: She's a character in one of my favorite book series', Everworld. Although I don't really like her character much (and I haven't read past book ten)...I didn't think that I should put in Jalil (my favorite character) or April, because I needed a Slytherin.
