Okay…I don't own Venus or Serena Williams. I just named a couple characters
after them, k? And I know they are sisters, but this Venus and Serena are
cousins…how else could I make them in the same year without being twins?

"Potter, James!"
He had been waiting for what seemed like a century to hear that. He walked up to the stool as calmly as he could and put the hat on.
"You're the one, yes, definitely the one he told me about."
"What one?" James asked, "Who told you about?"
"Dumbeldore."
"Dumbeldore told you something about me?"
"Yes."
"What?" James questioned again, interested.
"All I can tell you is that you will help create something very, very special and important to magic—and man—kind." The hat said "And, you will find your perfect match there too." He added as an afterthought.
"Alright then, what about my house?"
"Oh, that, well I knew the second I touched your head! You're courageous, faithful, loving, cunning, bright, clever—you've got it all. But your thirst for adventure makes you a—GRYFFINDOR!"
He was relieved; what was all that about anyway? James made his way to the Gryffindor table. Sirius got up and high-fived him. He took a seat next to Sirius.
"What took so long?" asked Sirius.
"Oh," James answered, "Nothing much. Only Dumbedore told the hat something about my future and he was giving me hints."
They stared. Lily went a light shade of green, but luckily no one noticed.
"Tell us later, okay." Remus told James.
"Yup! You thought I'd keep it a secret?! I'll tell you right now. The hat said I—"
But Lily never heard what James said. His words were cut off by cheers when Smith, Cody, already one of the most popular boys from a wizarding neighbourhood was made a Ravenclaw.
"Sampson, Cooper!" A tall, very pretty black girl walked up to the stool and was proclaimed a Gryffindor.
"Thomas, Mackenzie!" HUFFLEPUFF!
"Trigg, Derek!" SLYTHERIN!
"Williams, Serena!" Another tall, slim black girl approached the sorting hat. GRYFFINDOR!
"Williams, Venus!" A very similar, but not identical, girl strode up to the hat. She was made a Gryfindor too. She sat next to Serena who turned out to be her cousin.
'Six Gryffindor girls to choose from. One for each year plus that hot Ravenclaw!' Thought James, Sirius, and Remus
'Six Gryffindor girls' thought Lily, 'What a crowded dorm. But I'm sure we'll have fun. Cooper, Venus, and Serena look like they know where the party's at!' Their thoughts were interrupted when Dumbeldore stood up to make his usual start-of-term announcements.
All Lily heard was "Blah…Blah…Blah." But, then maybe that was because that's what Dumbeldore was actually saying. He looked in Lily's direction and caught her eye. He winked.
Then he said: "Now, enough said! We'll sing our song and eat!" He waved his wand and words floated in the air. Everyone started to sing.
James, Sirius, and Remus sang to the tune of "The Howdy Doody Show", a television program.
Finally the song finished. Dumbeldore clapped his hands and…BANG! The tables were covered with delicious smelling food.
They had everything from casseroles to fried chicken. Lily helped herself to the baked chicken—it was her favourite.
Meanwhile, James loaded his plate with steak and kidney pudding. His mum was a vegetarian and made only vegetarian meals. Every time James visited somewhere he always ate his favourite meat dishes.
'Now.' he thought happily, 'I can eat them every day!' The school ate their way through four courses—dessert by far the best. Lily reckoned she'd never tasted better vanilla pudding in her life. Finally the feast was drawing to a close.
Dumbeldore stood up to make what they thought was another long speech, but they were mistaken. He said: "How about I save all the announcements for breakfast, aye. You are dismissed."
Lily, Suzie, and Monica followed Sirius, James and Remus who seemed to know exactly where they were going. Or at least Sirius did. They would later hear of his summertime excursions with his father. Something to do with being able to add the Gryffindor common room fireplace to the floo network and showing Sirius a lot of secret passages.
As soon as the stepped through the portrait hole Lily, who had almost fallen asleep in her pudding, was standing wide awake. The room was gorgeous. A massive fireplace seemed to be the focal point for the circular room. Lounge chairs, sofas, and little poufs were scattered about the room haphazardly. They were all different fabrics and styles, but everything seemed to come together. You got that sense it all belonged.
There were also some round tables in a corner near the fire and bookshelves were all over with spare copies of course books; from 1000 Magical Herbs and Fungi to Advanced Defense Against Dark Magic. The only thing Lily could say was, "Hogwarts, where have you been all my life?"
