Chapter 5
The Sorting
The four kids stared out the window in awe of the magnificent castle in front of them; it seemed almost unreal as the train slowly approached the beautiful fortress. As the train came to a stop they could here the doors opening and the sound of a large booming voicing.
"Firs years dis way!"
They promptly seized their luggage and exited to train, only to meet the owner of the deafening voice.
"Firs years follow me, I'll be leading ye to the castle!" "Oh and by the way my name's Hagrid" The man was extraordinarily tall with a bushy brown beard, and large hand and large feet. He led the young witches and wizards to a large amount of boats floating in a large lake surrounded by a dark forest.
'Now only four ter a boat I'll be leading ye, and try not to fall in!" Hagrid laughed.
Caleb followed Ryoku to a boat and Akmed climbed in too. Ryoku was about to ask Kar to join them but she couldn't see him. He must have gotten a different boat, she thought. The boats magically followed the lights of Hagrid's lantern to the other end of the lake that led to the castle.
After getting out of the boats Hagrid led them to the castle doors and they were led inside. The waited at the entrance until a woman with spectacles, and a very tight bun came and explained to them about the sorting.
"Good evening new students, my name is Professor McGonagall, I will be escorting you to the Great Hall, where you will be sorted into either of the fours houses, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin, I want you all to remain calm during the ceremonies. Now, follow me."
Ryoku decided she didn't like McGonagall very much.
They students were led into a large room with fours long tables for students and one for the faculty. The first years were seated at a fifth table conjured up by McGonagall. Chattering began as students began to discuss their summers, and they're new broom sticks and who they thought had gotten prettier over the summer, until a thin man with a long white beard and half moon spectacles clapped his hands together.
The Great Hall fell silent.
"Welcome student to another marvelous year! I give an especially warm welcome to our new first years! Now just to review the rules again, incase some of you have forgotten over the summer, the Forbidden Forest is strictly off-limits, no exceptions!" Dumbledoor seemed to look right at Kar and wink. "Also I am pleased to inform you that we have a new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher and his name is Felix Voyager!" Professor Voyager stood up and bowed slightly then sat back down, he was a rather young man with strawberry blonde wavy hair and a pale complexion. "Next on my list..." continued Dumbledoor "is that once again I warn you to stay away from the Whomping Willow unless you have a death wish, now onto brighter matters! We shall start the sorting!" An old, tattered hat was brought out along with a stool and Professor McGonagall approached the stool with a long roll of Parchment, she cleared her thought then stated...
"When I call your name, please come forward and sit on the stool, I will then place the hat on your head and it will sort you into one of the four houses! Once it is done sorting, please take a seat at the table of your new house!"
"Aigenhamm, Stewart!"
"Hufflepuff!" The Sorting Hat cried.
After several names had been called McGonagall called...
"Dellon, Karmithius!"
Kar slowly and calmly approached the stool and sat down, McGonagall placed the hat on his head and immediately Kar heard a voice speaking to him.
"I see...interesting...a vampire? Never met a vampire before... Slytherin, would be a good place to put you.....but no....your much too different for that lot....I see true bravery in your blackened heart..............................how about...................GRYFFINDOR!"
Kar got off the stool as calmly as he got on, and he walked towards the Gryffindor table paying no attention to the looks he was receiving.
After about another ten minutes Ryoku's name was called, she eagerly approached the stool and McGonagall placed the hat on her head.
"GRYFFINDOR!" the hat shouted before it barely touched her head.
Ryoku triumphantly walked towards the Gryffindor table.
Not soon after McGonagall called Caleb's name.
"Lupin Caleb!"
Caleb approached the stool and the hat was placed on his head. Then he heard a voice.
"Now this is strange indeed, a werewolf, now that is strange indeed, I have also met a vampire, hmmm, now lets see......you are clever, and ambitious, hard-working, yet brave too, although, I think Hufflepuff doesn't quite suit you.....no.....no.....better make it........ GRYFFINDOR!"
Caleb smiled his father had been in Gryffindor, he made his way to the table and took a seat next to Ryoku.
Finally Akmed's name was called.
A sat on the stool and listened to the hat.
"You are an ambitious one, but I think the best place for you is Gryffindor son of Anubis.....GRYFFINDOR!"
Akmed took a seat at the Gryffindor table blushing worriedly.
After the sorting had finished, a great feast appeared and the students ate hungrily.
Albus Dumbledoor couldn't help but smile.
The year had begun....
After the wonderful feast, fours students stood up, one from each table. Albus stood up to and announced...
"Students now that the feast has ended, the Prefects will be leading you to your dormitories, your house dormitories are strictly off limits to other houses, and we are hoping, another incident like last years will not occur." He looked towards the Gryffindor fifth years, and raised his eyebrow. A few of them snickered and the rest slunk down in their seats blushing.
"Now, classes start tomorrow, breakfast will be in the Great Hall, arrive promptly at seven! Your schedules will also be handed out tomorrow!" "Sleep well!"
The Gryffindor prefect was a tall sixth year with short brown hair and big hands.
"My name is Humphrey Garside, and I am a Gryffindor Prefect, I can deduct or award house points so keep your mischief to a minimum! Follow me!" Humphrey led them up the moving staircases to the (Silverwolves: what floor is the Gryffindor Common room on???) Gryffindor tower.
A large portrait of a fat lady was about the only interesting thing in the tower. Humphrey approached the portrait and turned to them. The portrait blinked and smiled and a few first years jumped back
"This is the Gryffindor tower, to get inside you must tell the fat lady the password, remember you can't tell any other houses what our password is, or else..... The password will change every once in a while so be wary. The first password is 'Scrum-diddly-umcious'"
With that the fat lady portrait swung open revealing a large hole that led into the common room, one by one the first years scrambled in, followed by the other students.
It was a large beautiful room with a huge fireplace and lots of comfy looking armchairs and a large red sofa, a small work desk sat in the corner and a few table around it. Everything in the room was red, mahogany or gold. Two stair cases led out of the room, one for the girl's dorms and one for the boy's dorms. Humphrey directed the boys to where they would be sleeping and a girl with long silvery blonde hair and freckles directed the girl's to their dorms.
There were a total of eleven new Gryffindors, six were boys and five were girls. The boys included, Kar, Caleb and Akmed, a small red head named Lucas Winter, a chubby boy with buck teeth named Terrance Longbottom, and a handsome young boy with shaggy blonde hair and sparkly blue eyes, his name was Zachariah Vanderbolt. The girls included Ryoku, two twins with honey colored hair named Daffodil and Tulip Wispdeon, Alu Storm a pretty girl with black hair and violet eyes, Irene Cloverdale, a short African-American girl with dark brown hair, and Madison McGregor a plump girl with glasses and pigtails.
Caleb had trouble sleeping that night, the sorting hat had known that he was a werewolf, and the hat had said that he had met a vampire too, could that mean that there was a vampire in Hogwarts? Well, Dumbledoor had let a werewolf in, so any things possible. Caleb sighed and tried to sleep.
