Chapter Nine

The Gryffindors and their partners returned to the common room after their performances. They sat together on the couches watching their friends around them vote, trying to see what numbers they were pressing.

"You know what?" Emma-Leigh asked "I've become acustomed to coming here every day. I wonder what will be happening next week." she continued snuggling further into the armchair she was sharing with Harry looking around at the faces that had become familliar to her.

"I heard a rummor that we are going to be sorted into the houses. Like they do in their first year." Nabil said.

"But don't you guys have to wrestle a troll or something!" Michelle said looking and sounding worried.

"You'll just have to wait and see." Ron said laughing. Hermione rolled her eyes and continued reading.

XxX

As much as they had all enjoyed the night before, by the next day they had all begun to worry about the results of the previous night. The contestants were all waiting to see who would be leaving the competition. The school congregated in the Great Hall. The students sat in the audience looking up at the gleaming stage. The sixteen contestants were standing in their paris looking nervous as Tonks stood in the middle and talked to the crowd.

"Last night we had 8 wonderful performacnes but tonight we will have to cut one of our pairs. Last night, from both schools we had about 3 thousand votes, but 1 group got less and those amazing vocalists will be leaving the competition tonight so let's get crackilackin!" The dramatic music and lights flashed around the stage.

"Mandy and Draco!" the students cheered.

"Courteney and Hannah!" more cheers.

"Susan and Robyn!" Loud screams

"Amandah and Pansy!" YAY

"Emma-Leigh and Ron!" Yells

"Cho and Matt" screams

"Harry and Michelle!" Loud applause.

"and last but certainly not least Nabil and Hermione!" once again the students screamed and cheered and stamped their feet. 10,000 miles away the students of Bewitchment School of Sorcery joined them in that noise.

"Yes so here we go. if you are in the bottom group you will go to the right side in the top go top the left. Alright So Cho and Matt. The judges said you were alright you will go to the..." creepy music "right side." there were a mixture of cheers and boos from the audience.

"Draco and Mandy last night you sang Broken... you two too to the right side. Robyn and susan make your way to the left side" the crowd cheered " Nabil and Hermione...the left as well. Emma-Leigh and Ron to the right. Amanda and PAnsy to the left." They were now down to the final two groups.

"So Harry and Michelle and Courteney and Hannah..." They joined her in the center stage. "Harry and Michelle make your way to the left side... and Courteney and Hannah to the right. So this is your bottom four groups" there were some groans from the crowd

"You put them there!" Tonks said "But let's quickly put one of these pairs out of their misery and send them to the left side of the stage. Ron and Emma-Leigh.. you are safe!" there was a loud cheer from the Gryffindors and their friends.

"Oh and Draco and Mandy go to the Left as well" They were now down to the final bottom two groups. "Courteney and Hannah, and Cho and Matt, could you please join me in the middle of the stage." there were extreamly loud boo-ing as the four walked towards Tonks, They were obviously not pleased. "Okay judges how do you feel about the bottom two groups?"
"Ah yes. I think this is a good bottom group.. one of these groups should deffinetly be going home." Dumbledore said.
"I don't nessisarily agree with you. I think both of these groups did excellent jobs" Kassandrah argued.

"Doesn't matter one of these groups are done so stop glareing at eachother like that." Simon said, Professor Dumbledore and Professor Bullavardez were glaring daggers at each other. All attention was cofused back on the blue haird Tonks,
"You four did really well last night" Tonks opened a little envelope "Courtney and Hannah, Cho and Matt. two of you are done. Cho and Matt.. The competition is over fro you tonight.: Cho fell over and burst into tears. Harry and Ron shared a roll of the eyse and tried to stiffle a laugh. "that means Courteney and HAnnah you wuill be staying. Now it is time for dinner." Dumbledore stood up and the stage dissapered and the students were zoomed to their respected house tables as teh bewitchment students stood at the front of the room, the sorting hat in front of them. Professor Bullavardez cleared her throat.

"The students will be sorted into houses, Pretty much just so they have som where to stay."
"I hioe you will armly accept them into your houses." Dumbledore said eyeing the Slytherins mostly as Draco glared at Emma-Leigh still not forgetting the yellow ferret inccident, and Emma-Leigh glared right back.

"Professor McGonagall if you will." A scroll of partchment appeared in her hand as she strode to the side of the Sorting Hat. The brim opened wide and started to sing.

"This is the second time I've sang this year

Open your eyes and turn your ear.

Studens from another school

Have come, to now, sit upon this stool.

To place the hat on their head

To find a place to rest in bed.

They are here to compete

I'm sure they will find defeat..."

Dumbledore looked at the hat and if the hat could, it probably would have blushed.

"Ahem Gryfindor Slytherin Ravenclaw n' Hufflepuff

its time for you to show your stuff.

I am the sorting hat

Put me on I'll tell you where its at

If harmoney betwean houses is pleaded

Unity between schools is needed!"

"I was wondering if it was going give some sort of warning or what not about unity." Hermione said in a whisper.

"When I call your name, you will put on the hat and sit on the stool to be sorted. Boschman, Nabil." Nabil waked forward and McGonagall put the hat on his head.

"RAVENCLAW!" the hat shouted.

"Bosse, Robyn."

"GRYFFINDOR!" Harry, Ron, and Hermione cheered the loudest.

"Holmes, Amanda."

"SLYTHERIN!" The hat shouted in a very Draco Malfoy type way, as the hat hadn't even touched her head.

"Lawley, Matthew." Matt sat there for a good three minutes. In the end the hat shouted,

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Malek, Courteney."

"RAVENCLAW!"

"McAulay, Michelle." Michelle strutted up to the stool and McGonagall put the sorting hat on her head covering her vibrant pink hair,

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Newman, Emma-Leigh." Emma-Leigh sat on the stool, in the crowd Harry, Ron, Michelle, Hermione, and Robyn had their fingers crossed hoping that she would be in Gryffindor.

"SLYT..."

"WAIT!" Emma-Leigh took off the hat "One moment please." she went back to internally fighting with the hat.

"FINE GRYFFINDOR!" Emma-Leigh smiled and sat next to Harry and Michelle who were across from Ron Hermione and Robyn.

"He thought I would do good in Slytherin. pfft. Just cuz I'm a pure blood... and stubborn... and "

"And micheivious, evil, and able to talk your way out of almost anything..." Michelle said.

"Thats not tru..."

"like being able to change which house the sorting hat thinks you should be in."
"Shut it you... Mandy is being sorted."

"Newman, Mandy."
"RAVENCLAW!" Mandy skipped dow to the Ravenclaw table and sat across from the still sobbing Cho and beside Luna Lovegood.

"Go Gryffindor!" Emma-Leigh said as the food appeared on the table.

"I guess thats what I'll be saying at the match next week" she said when people around her looked at her funny.
"Yah the match..." Harry said. He was capitain and his team had been training hard, but he had forgotten how close the match was with all the singing and such. After dinner Dumbledore stood up.

"Next weeks competion will be a song of your choice, each person will sing alone this time. Good luck.
