Chapter 4

"Wow this is soo cool." Commented Lauren when they had reached the castle's doors.

"Yeah." Agreed Lily and Emily.

"It looks as if you can easily get lost in there." Mourned Peter.

"Oh cheer up Peter, this is going to be awesome." Said James.

"Yeah, think of all the cool stuff we'll be able to do with magic." Said Sirius.

"And the books." Said Remus. "I'm sure there's tones here."

The giant of a man knocked on the castle doors. The doors opened.

"The firs' years, Professor McGonagall." Said the giant.

"Thank you Hagrid. Follow me please." Said Professor McGonagall. She led them down a passageway. They came to a lit up chamber full of chattering children and four gigantic tables with one large table in front of the four. Where it looked as if that was the grand table for the teachers. In the front of the table stood a three-legged stool and a tattered hat upon it.

Suddenly the hat had a tear in it and it started to sing. Five minutes passed while it sang, than it abruptly stopped.

"That's weird." Whispered, Sirius, in Emily's ear. Emily nodded her head in agreement.

"When I call your name you will come up to the chair, put the hat on your head, and it will sort you into your house." Said Professor McGonagall.

"Jamie Adam." The girl walked shakily up to the hat, her face was extremely pale. She put the hat over her head and it was minute before anything happened.

The hat opened the tear and yelled "Hufflepuff." There was a loud applause from the table closest to the door and a lot of boos from the far table.

"So that's it, all you do is put the hat on and it tells you where to go?" asked Emily to Sirius.

"Yep." Said Sirius.

Emily didn't say anymore for they were just calling up Danny Balk.

"Slytherin!" there were loud cheers from the table that booed when Jamie was put into Hufflepuff. The boy walked to that table. There was polite applause from the other tables.

"Sirius Black."

"Good Luck." Whispered Emily and the others. Sirius didn't say anything just walked palely up to the hat.

He slowly lowered the hat over his head. Than, he heard a voice inside his head.

"Ahhh, another Black I know where to put… but wait… you seems somehow different, yes now I see. You have courage, bravery, strength, and a chance to make something good of yourself. I know where to put you. GRYFFINDOR!" yelled the hat.

Sirius signed in relief. He took the hat off and hearing many boos from the Slytherin table but hearing great applause from the Gryffindor table, he made his way over to it.

'Emily was right.' Thought Sirius looking over at her and the others, they were all cheering for him.

"Hey Emily you were right." Said Remus.

"I'm happy he made it there." Said Emily. "I just hope the rest of us can too.

Two more name came up a Ravenclaw and another Slytherin than it was Lauren's turn.

"Lauren Coyne."

"Good luck Lauren." Said Remus and the others after him.

Lauren gave a week smile and made her way up.

Lauren put the hat on her head and the hat said nothing than suddenly it spoke. Lauren nearly screamed.

"Hmm, what a smart mind you have. You seemed to like studied and getting the highest grades you can achieve. I would say that you would do well in Ravenclaw but your heart chooses… GRYFFINDOR!" yelled the hat. There was much clapping and booing as before. Lauren made her way over and sat across from Sirius. She saw her two best friends clapping for her.

"Hey." Said Sirius "You made it into Gryffindor. Congratulation."

"Yeah, you too." Said Lauren. "Though the hat thought I would do good in Ravenclaw, but in the end it put me here said that's where my heart chooses to go."

"Probably because your other friends will end up in here too…" said Sirius and added with a smile. "…and of course Remus will too."

"What! How… did Emily tell you?" asked Lauren nervously.

"No but you just did. Plus I saw you staring at him when you came into our compartment." Said Sirius smiling.

Lauren blushed. "Oh you can't tell, please." Whined Lauren.

"Nay I won't tell, I promise, unless something should arise." Said Sirius still smiling.

"Like…" said Lauren but Sirius interrupted her.

"Shh your friend Lily's getting sorted." Said Sirius and Lauren turned to see Lily walk up to the stool and put on the hat.

"Ahh, you mind is very clear on where you want to go and where it's best for you too." Said the hat. "GRYFFINDOR!"

Lily took off the hat and made her way over to Lauren and took a seat by her.

"Hey Lauren." Said Lily. "Hi Sirius."

"Hi, and congratulations." Said Sirius.

"I'm glad you ended up here with me." Said Lauren.

"Me too, but I hope Emily makes it here too. Thanks Sirius and congratulations too."

"Thanks and I'm sure Emily will make it into Gryffindor too." Said Sirius.

"I hope you're right Sirius, she'll be upset if she doesn't make it." Said Lily.

"Oh look Remus is getting sorted now." Said Lauren. The other two looked over to watch.

"Well there's no mistake in you where to go… GRYFFINDOR!" yelled the hat.

Remus took off the hat and went over and sat down by Sirius.

"Congratulations Remus." Said Sirius.

"Yes, and to yourself Sirius." Said Remus. "Also to you too girls."

"Thank you Remus." Said Lily.

Lauren was having a hard time saying something finally she came out with. "Yeahyoutoo." Saying it really fast.

"Thanks, I guess." Said Remus. Lauren blushed.

"Oh look Peter getting sorted now." Said Lily they all looked up to see Peter take the hat and dropping it clumsily on the floor everyone laughed except Lily and Lauren.

"Oh People are so cruel." Said Lily angrily.

Peter quickly picked up the hat and put it on his head. He was shaking terribly.

Finally the hat yelled "GRYFFINDOR!" Peter was so happy that he forgot to take off the hat. He had to run back and return it when he finally figured out that he still had it. Everyone laughed at him. Than to make it all much worse he stumbled and fell.

Than someone yelled out. "He belongs in Hufflepuff, not Gryffindor."

"Now that was a little mean." Said Sirius.

"What are you talking for, you laughed at him." Said Lily hotly.

"It was all in good fun. At least I didn't yell something out like that." Said Sirius.

"Still." Said Lily.

Peter came over and sat down by Remus. Next was James.

"James Potter."

James walked proudly up to the hat, he put it over his head and before it was all the way down it yelled. "GRYFFINDOR."

James put the hat back on the stool, came over, and sat down by Sirius.

When he got over there he heard Lily talking to Peter.

"Oh are you alright, you didn't hurt yourself did you Peter?" asked Lily.

"Oh course he didn't." said James. "He's made of steel, aren't you Peter?"

Peter didn't say anything he was still quite red in the face from embarrassment (Lauren knew how he felt, she felt that way too when she made a fool of herself in front of Remus) but what James said must have cheered up Peter a bit, because a bit more normal color came back into his face.

"Oh poor Emily, now she's up there all by herself." Said Remus.

"Don't worry she'll be fine." Said Sirius.

"And how would you know, Sirius?" asked James.

"She seems like that kind of girl who can handle herself." Said Sirius.

"He's right, she can." Said Lily.

"Hey look there's that kid I ran into and he didn't even except my apologize." Said Lauren. The rest look up to see Severus Snape be sorted into Slytherin. Than after a few more names Emily turn was up.

"Emily Weaver"

Emily walked nervously up to the hat and put it on.

"What an interesting mind you have." Said the hat.

'Err…. Thanks.' thought Emily.

"Hmm…no, no, no, mustn't go looking for your brother. That would only get you into trouble, into dark trouble." Said the hat.

'You know my brother.' Thought Emily.

"Of course I do. I sorted him. He's a great wizard but not one to get to know." Said the hat.

'Why not?' asked Emily.

"I can not tell you, all I can do is sort you into the house at which you belong." Said the hat.

'But I want to know more about my brother.' Thought Emily but before she could finish that thought the hat had spoken her house and would not speak anymore to her.

Emily got up angrily and put the hat back down on the stool a little more roughly than usual and went and sat down by her friends, for she too had made it to Gryffindor.

"Congratula…" said Lauren but stopped. "Emily what's up you look mad I thought you wanted to be in Gryffindor?"

"It's nothing, and yeah I glad I'm in Gryffindor with my friends." Said Emily putting on a fake smile. She really was happy to be in Gryffindor it was on what the hat had said about her brother. 'Was he a bad wizard?' thought Emily.

Sirius was going to say something he could tell that something was bothering Emily because he put on that face occasionally, but Emily had started to speak.

"Man I'm hungery. When do we eat?" asked Emily.

"As soon as the sorting is over." said Travis Wood the prefect. "Glad you guys made it into Gryffindor."

"Yeah, we are too." Said Lily.

Finally the sorting was over and the headmaster stood to make a speech.

"Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to Hogwarts for another year. I hope you all enjoy it here and learn lots, now enjoy the feast." Said Professor Dumbledore and he sat down. Emily and the rest looked down at their plates and they were full of food.

They all ate hungrily. Once they were finished eating Dumbledore stood.

"Now tomorrow is the beginning of the school days everyone off to bed and get a good night's rest. The rules are on Mr. Filch the caretaker's office where it can be read by anyone. Now off to bed for tomorrow will be a big day. Oh and first years are not allowed to be out of there dormitory after 9. Sleep tight."

"Alright, first years follow me I'll take you to your dormitory and common room." Said Travis Wood standing up. All the first years in Gryffindor stood and followed Travis.

They made their way up spiral staircases and through corridors. Until finally they came to a portrait of a fat lady.

"Password." She said.

"Poraroast" said Travis. The lady nodded and the portrait opened up to a common room.

"On the right is the girls dormitory and on the left is the boys. Now off to bed you guys go. First days are always a rough day." Said Travis.

"Night girls." Said James, Sirius, and Remus. Peter had already starting to go up the stairs.

"Night." Said Lily, Lauren, and Emily and they walked up to their dormitory with the rest of the girls in first year who where in Gryffindor.

When they arrived up in their dormitory, Emily walked over to the other first year girls and introduced herself.

"Hi the names Emily Weaver." Said Emily holding out her hand to the other girls.

"Don't talk to us." Said the girl in the middle she had wavy long blonde hair. She looked more like she was fifteen than eleven. The two other girls standing by the blonde glared, at Emily. The one on the right of the blonde had curly long blown hair that looked as if a professional did and she couldn't do it herself. The other one on the left also had brown hair but it was straight and it seemed as if everything evolved around her.

"What did we ever do to you?" asked Lauren.

"She said not to talk to us, so stop talking." Said the straight brown.

"We're just trying to be polite. Since we're going to spend the rest of the year in the same room and have the same classes." Said Lily

"Yes, where you will not talk or touch any of our stuff. We'll just get along fine than." Said the curly brown.

"You guys act as if you ought to be in Slytherin." Said Emily. "Gryffindor is just not the place for you, if you act as if you have something up your nose."

"Take that back because if you haven't notice we are in Gryffindor, but it seemed as if the hat took for ever deciding where you ought to go. Maybe Gryffindor's not your place. Now be quite we need our beauty sleep." Said the blonde.

Emily was about to say something but Lauren stopped her.

"Come on Em, let them go. Maybe tomorrow they'll be a bit nicer. I mean we all are pretty tired from the long trip and eating all that good food." Said Lauren.

"Yeah Em, Lauren's right we're all on the edge." Said Lily

"Whatever." Said Emily going over to her bed and laying down on it since all their luggage had be brought up while they were eating. She closed the curtains around her bed. Lauren and Lily did the same. The other three girls finished unpacking their belongings and fell asleep half-hour later.

Emily was still awake when she remembered that Midnight wasn't up here and also what the hat said. She wished to confine in her cat. So Emily got up.

"Midnight" whispered Emily. She wasn't around. Emily walked to the door and went down stairs to the common room where no one was in sight.

"Midnight." Whispered Emily.

Midnight came out from behind a chair with a mouse in her mouth.

"There you are, and gross." Said Emily.

Midnight quickly gobbled down her mouse.

"What I got to eat." Said Midnight.

"Where have you been, I was worried." Said Emily.

"Exploring the castle, it's really cool." Said Midnight.

"Well I haven't seen you since the train ride when I left you out." Said Emily a little hurt at not knowing where Midnight was.

"Sorry. I was talking to the other cats on the train, and you wouldn't have care anyways, you where making new friends." Said Midnight.

"True, sorry I shouldn't be acting this way." Said Emily.

"It's ok." Said Midnight.

"Well I need to tell you som…" said Emily stopping for she just heard a sound. She looked up to see Sirius looking down at her from the top of the boy's staircase.

"How long have you been there?" asked Emily.

"How long have you been able to talk to cats?" answered Sirius with another question.

"Do you always answer questions with another question?" asked Emily.

"I could ask the same about you." Said Sirius. "But… yeah, I try. Your turn."

"Why does it matter, I sure a lot of kids here can talk to cats?" asked Emily.

"No, it's a rare gift." Said Sirius. "So how long, and does your friends know you can talk to cats?"

"No, because I thought they would think I was crazy, and I've been able to talk to cats for as long as I could remember." Said Emily.

"I won't tell. What are you doing down here anyways?' asked Sirius.

"Couldn't sleep and I wanted to find Midnight." Said Emily, Midnight had moved to go sit in front of the fireplace. "You?"

"Same…well meaning only couldn't sleep and I thought you would be down here." Said Sirius.

"Why did you think I would be down here?" asked Emily.

"I remembered you fake smile at dinner. I thought you wanted to be in Gryffindor." Said Sirius.

"I do and I'm glad I'm in Gryffindor, it's just something the hat said." Said Emily.

"Why did it consider putting you into another house?" asked Sirius.

"No, it was something else." Said Emily.

"What?" asked Sirius.

"I don't know you enough to tell you." Said Emily.

"You told me about your ability to talk to cats." Said Sirius.

"No, I didn't tell you. You easdropped." .said Emily.

"True I did, but your cat let me. So she must trust me." Said Sirius.

"What do you mean?" asked Emily.

"Simple that cats have good ears, she should have heard me." Said Sirius.

Emily turned to look at Midnight, she was watching the conversation that Emily and Sirius were having.

"Is this true, did you know he was there and you didn't tell me?" asked Emily.

Sirius watch Emily speak to her cat. The cat meow in response.

"Why?" asked Emily.

The cat meow again.

Emily turned away.

Sirius smiled "What did she say?" he asked.

"Yes, she did let you easdrop." Said Emily.

"What was her reason for letting me?" asked Sirius.

"Because she says your trustworthy, and your somebody worth telling." Said Emily.

"I like your cat." Said Sirius.

"You want her, you can have her." Said Emily. Midnight went over to Emily and scratched her. "Oww… alright I won't give you away."

"I don't think my mum would like that very much, course than again I don't care what she likes. You'll be able to met her tomorrow." Said Sirius.

"How?" asked Emily.

"I'll probably be getting a howler from her, since I made it into Gryffindor." Said Sirius. "I'll be a real disappointment to the family, first Black to make it into Gryffindor and not Slytherin."

"Well you belong in Gryffindor." Said Emily. "You made it into Gryffindor."

"Yeah." Said Sirius. "I'm not at all disappointed. Today was pretty cool. Made five new friends. Now all I have to worry about is getting back at Malfoy."

"Don't worry you'll have your new friends and James to help you get him." Said Emily.

"Yeah thanks, but first I have to get somebody else." Said Sirius.

"Like who?" asked Emily.

"You'll see who later." Said Sirius.

"Alright. Well I'm getting kind of sleepy so good night Sirius Black.' Said Emily.

"Will you tell what bothered you, I mean your cat trust me why can't you?" asked Sirius.

"It's not really the trust, I just promised my aunt and uncle that I wouldn't tell, and I keep my promises." Said Emily.

"How could you, nobody else knows what the hat says to them unless they tell, and you wouldn't have had enough time to tell them before we talked." Said Sirius.

"No, it deals with what they told me. The hat sort of told me something that deals with the same situation." Said Emily than she saw an expression on Sirius's face. "Fine the hat mainly just told me not to go looking for someone and it didn't give me a reason why I shouldn't so I got mad." Said Emily.

"See you could have just said that in the beginning." Said Sirius smiling.

"But would you have stopped asking me questions?" asked Emily.

"Yes." Said Sirius.

"Liar." Said Emily.

"What makes you say that?" asked Sirius.

"Because you have a curious mind." Said Emily.

"No I don't I have a serious mind." Said Sirius smiling.

"Goodnight Sirius Black." Said Emily standing. "I'm going to bed."

"Alright. Goodnight Emily Weaver." Said Sirius also standing up. He held out his hand. "It was a pleasure meeting you."

"Same here." Said Emily not taking his hand but walking up to the girl's dormitory.

Sirius smiled watching her go up. He lean down and pet the cat. "She one of a kind, isn't she?" the cat meow in response. "Night cat." Said Sirius going back up to his four-postured bed for the night to than wake up in the morning to create mischief with James and his new friends.
