Chapter 9: Sort Me Baby!

Professor McGonagall coughed to get everyone's attention; the school looked at her and settled back down.

"Right then, lets get back to the sorting of what houses the new comers are going to be in, Artemis you might as well be first, seen as though the others are still outside.

Artemis stood up and walked down the great hall, everyone was staring at her, she felt a little nervous, but made it to the front of the hall.

"Would you be so kind and sit down on this stool please." Professor McGonagall said, pointing to the stool.

Artemis sat down and Professor McGonagall placed a dirty hat on Artemis's head.

"What the…" Artemis stated to say.
"Hmmm what do we have here, a girl who is related to the head of Slytherin but also related to the great Harry Potter? Hmm now where to put you…" The hat said.

The hall looked at her in shock, nobody knew Harry had a sister, and nobody thought Snape would be related to Potter either.
Snape tried to hide, he felt so ashamed, he hated Harry Potter, but yet he was still his uncle.
Harry on the other hand, had no idea he was related to Snape, why didn't anybody tell him?

"The house I think you shall go in is… GRYFFINDOR!" Yelled the hat.

The hall cheered as Artemis sat down at the Gryffindor table next to Fred.

"Well done." Hermione whispered.
"Thanks." Artemis said.
"Why didn't you tell me we are related to Snape?" Harry asked.
"I thought you knew." Artemis replied, looking confused.
"Oh great, I hate that man!" Harry argued.
"Awww why? He's really nice." She said.
"No he's not; you will see when you get into his lesions." Ron chipped in.
"Meh." She said, looking at Draco who was giving her evils.

After all the new students had been sorted into their new houses, Professor Dumbledore waved his hands and magically loads of food appeared on the tables.

"Woah!" Artemis beamed.
"Hehe, food." Ron smiled.
"Yum yum." Artemis giggled.

After piling loads of food on here plate, she looked up at the teachers at the front of the hall.

"Who's the giant?" Artemis asked Ginny.
"Oh that's Hagrid, he's really nice, you'll love him." Ginny said.
"Oh." Artemis smiled.

Ginny told her all the names of the teachers, and about how nice they are.

"Hmm, do we ever get days off?" Artemis asked George.
"Yeah, weekends, and then summer holidays."
"So no half terms?"
"Nope, sucks."

Artemis looked annoyed, but she wasn't going to let it ruin her first day at Hogwarts, even though it was half destroyed thanks to Draco.

When everyone had finished their food, they all went up to their common rooms.

"The password this year is Lollypops." Said what looked like the head of the year.

There was a portrait on the wall with a fat lady in it, she opened up a hole in the wall, and everyone walked inside it.

It was lovely and warm inside, it was also very red, Artemis guessed it was red because Gryffindor was a red house.

"Do you want me to show you to the girl dormitories?" Hermione asked.
"Umm…" Artemis started to say, before a guy with dreadlocks walked by.
"Hey, welcome to Hogwarts!" He said to her.
"Hi… thanks." Said Artemis, blushing slightly.
"You're Artemis right?"
"Gah." Artemis managed to say.
"Yes she is." Laughed Hermione.
"Cool, I'm Serji."
"Serji." Smiled Artemis.
"Yep! Anyways, it's nice too meet you, but I best be off to bed goodnight." Said Serji walking up to the boys dormitories.
"Bye." Artemis said quietly.
"Don't worry, most girls here fancy him." Hermione said smiling.
"Do you?" Artemis asked.
"God no! Between you and me, I fancy the socks off Harry."
"WOOOOOOOOOIES!"
"Ha-ha, just don't tell anyone!"
"Don't worry, I won't."
"Do you want to go to girls Dorms now?"
"Maybe in a bit, I want to go to the toilet first."
"Ok, do you want me to show you where they are?"
"No its ok, I better find them myself." Artemis said, slightly running out of the common room.
