"Professor Lupin! Professor Lupin, please spare a moment!" said Kenzie, running toward the podium followed by Kayla, J.J., and Chris.
"Yes? Names, please?" Professor Lupin asked, turning to them.
"McKenziePotterMcKaylaWeasleyChristopherPaulsyJeffereyJacobson," she said in one breath, pointing to each as she said the name. "Weneedyourhelp."
"Slow down, Ms. Potter," Lupin said. "What is it?"
"Voldemort'sback," Kenzie said.
"Voldemort's back? Where did you see him?"
"InOllivander'sdressedasOllivander."
"Okay... I'll be on the lookout," Lupin said. "Go get in line."
The four of them got into line with the other first years and waited for their names.
A few names were called and then J.J. was sorted into Gryffindor. More names followed and Chris was sorted into Gryffindor. Kenzie followed Chris.
"Okay, where shall I put you?" the Sorting Hat whispered into her ear.
I'm telling you right now, I WANT GRYFFINDOR, Kenzie thought.
"Oh really? Well then- GRYFFINDOR!" the Hat shouted.
Kayla was also sorted into Gryffindor.
Soon, a girl with white-blonde hair approached them.
"Hello, Potter. I see you're just as bad off as your father was," she said.
"Oh, you must be the 'lovely' Narcissa Malfoy, huh?" Kenzie said.
"Yes, Potter, and I suggest you bow low now," Narcissa said.
"In your sick dreams, ferret girl," Kenzie said, referring to the time her father, Draco Malfoy, had turned into a white ferret. "Of course, you're a Slytherin, what do you deserve?"
"A fan club," she said.
"More like a sucker punch," Kenzie said. She turned her back to leave, when suddenly, she spun on her heel and punched Narcissa right in the nose.
"Serves her right," Kenzie said, leaving with Kayla, J.J., and Chris to eat dinner.
