Chapter 4
The sorting
"That was exhausting" Sirius said and plopped down on to the long bench.
"The great Hall looked magnificent." Alice exclaimed. There were thousands and thousands of candles, floating above four long tables, There were glittering golden plates and goblets laid out among the tables. The ceiling looked exactly like the sky. The ghosts were spread out among the splendid hall. Professor McGonagall opened the large wooden oak doors and led a group of frightened first years to the front of the Great Hall. The sorting went from Allison Addikin to Gabriel Venmik. They were both sorted into Gryffindor.
After Dumbledore's speech Sirius yelled "Food" The Great Hall erupted with laughter and food started to appear. The feast had started. Half of the Gryffindor table, mainly the first years stared as James and Sirius stuffed their mouths, bite after bite.
"Do they always eat like that?" A small redheaded first year that was sitting near Lily named Bill Weasley asked.
"Yeah, they do. If you're friends with them for four years you kind of get use to them eating like that at meal times." Lily answered. Three snobby blond bimbos with their noses up high walked into the Great Hall. The Great Hall fell silent.
"Here are our exchange students from Beauxbaxton . Please walk up to the front of the Great Hall." Professor Dumbledore said. The three did what was instructed.
"When I call your name please step up to the stool and I will place the sorting hat on your head." Professor McGonagall said. "Kelly Black". Kelly was a thin girl with dark brown eyes. She sat on the stool and when Professor McGonagall lifted the hat above her head about to put it on the hat yelled,
"SLYTHERIN!" The Slytherin table erupted with applause.
"Morgan Parkinson" Professor McGonagall said. Morgan looked a lot fatter than Kelly. She stepped up and sat on the stool.
"Ewww, you're going to put that filthy hat on my head?" she asked.
"How else are we going to sort you?" Professor McGonagall snapped. She picked up the hat and when it went towards Morgan's head it immediately yelled
"SLYTHERIN!" The Slytherin table clapped again.
"Mattie Malfoy," McGonagall said looking annoyed and a bit angry/ frustrated. The girl was also thin with brown eyes but a slight bit prettier than the other two. This time the hat actually touched the girl's head, but the split second it did the hat yelled
"SLYTHERIN!" Cheers and applause this time erupted from the Slytherin table.
"They must be true Slytherins to make the hat decide that quickly." Sirius said and snorted. The 8 of them finally finished dessert and headed to their dormitories. The girls all collapsed on their beds and the boys minus Frank and Peter who already asleep, planned new pranks to play on the Slytherins.
