"I do not own Harry Potter" Chapter 2: The Sorting Ceremony
The train started to slow down, making everyone happy that they were almost at Hogwarts. It came to a sudden stop making Ron, Harry, and Hermione slide to the right.
"I'm glad we don't have to carry our trunks into the school" said Ron as they all stepped off the train.
"I'm just glad to be here and not at the Dursley's" Harry said while they made their way to Hogwarts.
"I can't wait to see what house Erin and Patrick will be in. It would be great if they were in our house" said Hermione with an excited look on her face.
When they reached to entrance hall Sir Nicholas greeted them.
"Look it's Erin and Patrick, they must be waiting to get sorted" said Hermione when they had reached the great hall.
"Is that Erin?" asked Ron staring at her in a sort of transfixed way.
"Yes that's her," she said while pointing at her to show Harry.
"She's pretty she's pretty" recited Ron while staring at her yet again.
"Ron snap out of it the sorting is about to begin," yelled Harry while waving his hand furiously in front of Ron's face.
"Harry stop you're blocking my view of Erin" yelled Ron as he tried to look to the side of Harry's hand.
But then Dumbledoor stood up and raised his hands for silence and all three of them took a seat at the table.
"Welcome all to what I hope is another great year of Hogwarts. We have much to do tonight. So lets get started right away; but first I have two people to welcome to our school who are new sixth years, their names are Erin and Patrick. They will be sorted with the first years. So without further delay let the sorting ceremony begin," said Dumbledoor.
"Why is Snape doing the sorting this year" said Harry is a worried voice.
"Maybe he bewitched to sorting hat to put everyone in Slytherin" said Ron when he saw Snape standing there next to the sorting hat.
"He couldn't do that the hat's to powerful," answered Hermione.
Snape called all the first years names and had them try on the sorting hat; then finally at last he called Erin and Patrick. First Erin stepped up to the stool and sat down.
"Please let her be in Gryfindoor" Ron said in a pleading voice.
"Gryfindoor" shouted to sorting hat.
Loud cheers sprang from the Gryfindoor table. Erin hurried to the Gryfindoor table and found one of the only seats left at the table next to Ron.
"I hope Patrick gets in the same house I did," said Erin in a hopeful voice.
Patrick sat down on the stool and put on the sorting hat.
"Gryfindoor" yelled the sorting hat.
Everyone cheered as Patrick came and sat down in the only spot left at the table, next to Ginny.
"I'm glad you two are in our Gryfindoor," said Ron in a cheerful way; not knowing what else to say.
The Hall grew silent as Dumbledoor tapped his fork on his glass.
"Let the feast begin" Dumbledoor said after the Hall was quiet.
Everyone dug in. Happy that the sorting was over and looking forward to a great dinner and a good nights sleep.
