Thanks for reviewing! I was really glad to see that people like my story!

Crystaltorino: Thanks for you nice thoughts!

Fredthebacker: Thanks a lot!

Vixen Black: Thanks for the ideas! Hmm…I might have to think about your idea, but I don't think the personality I'm giving Tori will allow her to betray her friends. And I'm sorry to say I won't be making the story a happy ending. Lol.

Sark's Heart: Thanks, and I won't make you hold up to long! And yes they are in their first year.

Piper13: Thanks, and I won't hold you up on my next chapter!

Tori was very nervous but it seemed like being with the four boys lessened the knot in her stomach. She was in the boat with the four boys, none of them seemed to want to talk either, she bit her fingernails until she got to the skin and the started to bleed. She frowned and started to bite her skin near the nail.

They soon reached the castle, the so-called Gamekeeper Hagrid, had helped the students out of the boats and safely onto the platform of marble floor. Peter, by accident, had tripped and his foot fell in the water. They chuckled lightly as Peter turned scarlet. Tori helped him up because the others were to busy trying not to laugh too loud. "It's ok, I bet people do it all the time," she reassured him.

Peter gave a weak little smile to her and walked back to the boys who had stopped laughing but were pink in the face. She rolled her eyes and followed them. A woman maybe about in her early fifties stood at the top of the stairs and seemed to be waiting for them, she wore scarlet robes and had an old black hat that had red lace. She looked like the type to behave yourself in front of.

The woman spoke in a strict voice that just made Tori's thoughts almost certain. " I am Professor McGonagal, I am the Head of Gryffindor House and your Transfiguration teacher. Now, I will soon lead you into the Great Hall. I will place the sorting hat on your head and you will be sorted into you houses. There are four houses in total. Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Your houses will be like your family, break rules and you loose points and with your success you will earn points. Whichever house has the most points by the end of the year will when the House Cup. Now, I would advice you to tidy up before you present yourself in front of your class-mates," she announced. She was eyeing James's very untidy hair and Tori's messy bangs that were in every direction. Tori tried flattening them but it was no use, she had had them like this for to long.

" Follow me please," she ordered. She opened the huge doors. The Great Hall was like nothing Tori had ever seen. It was huge, it looked about the size of her house and probably bigger! It seemed like the walls stretched all the way to the night sky and it seemed like there was now roof!

"It's not real you know," James's voice whispered softly next to her. She tore her eyes from the ceiling and looked at him confused.

James laughed at her confused look. "It's bewitched-my dad told me," he added. "Doesn't your mum tell you about Hogwarts? She's the magical parent in your family isn't she?" he asked.

Tori frowned. "Yes…she is. But she doesn't say much about Hogwarts, she says it's best to let me find out about it on my own," she said, she gave her lopsided smile again.

Professor McGonagal stopped them near what looked like the staff table. A old man in blue robes with yellow sparkling sat in the middle. His beard was very long and about up to his waist, his eyes were a light blue and he let off some kind of energy exactly opposite of Professor McGonagal, he seemed nice. He did not speak but watched the children looked pleased and smiled at them kindly.

Professor McGonagal took out a long piece of parchment from her robes. She spoke out loud. "Addir, Amelia." A pretty girl with long black hair nervously stepped up and sat on the stool, McGonagal placed the hat on her head. There was a long pause before the hat suddenly roared, "HUFFLEPUFF!" A table on the far left started to clap the loudest and cheered for the girl, these were clearly the Hufflepuffs.

More kids that had "A" as their last names were called. Then suddenly McGonagal called, "Black, Sirius." She turned to looked at Sirius, he was rather pale, he walked up and sat on the stool like so many others before him had done. The hat took a rather long time before finally shouted, "GRYFFINDOR!" Sirius jumped over to the Gryffinor table, he looked nothing more than delighted.

More kids that were A's B's C's D's and so on were called. The had come to the G's now and Tori was shaking like mad. Remus had saw this and placed a hand on her shaking shoulder. "Don't worry, it'll be over before you know it," he said smiling. She gave him a lopsided smile and watched the other G's be sorted. Finally McGonagal called, " Gonzales, Torisa." She froze for a moment but then got her scenes and walked over and sat on the stool. She felt the hat lie on her head softly, she then heard a strong voice whisper in her head.

"Ahhh…a Gonzales eh? Guessing your mother was a Grativ? Yes I remember…hmmm…willing to learn…wanting to prove yourself…you would seem good in Hufflepuff…no wait…I can see talent…you'd be better off in Ravenclaw-RAV-wait no no no no…no not Ravenclaw pardon me…oh yes…here we are…you have bravery…yes…Godric Gryffindor would defiantly want you in his house if he still lived…yes-GRYFFINDOR!" Tori let out a sigh of relief and walked over to the Gryffindor table and sat next to Sirius. She was startled by what the Sorting Hat had said though. Her mother had told her that Godric Gryffindor only chose the brave children to be in his house when he was alive, but she wasn't brave! No way! How could the Sorting Hat have said even Godric Gryffindor chose her to be in his house? …

Soon her friends were sorted, all in Gryffindor to her pleasure. The old man that had kindness in his eyes stood up after all the students were sorted. He spoke soft and calmly. "I am Professor Dumbledore, as some of you might already know. I must tell you that the Forbidden Forest is out of bounds to all students for your own saftely. And other then that all I can say is, tuck in."

Tori was amazed by this speech, all the speeches she had ever heard were boring! She smiled and did what he had asked, she had never had a better meal in he life!
