The first years crowded around the doors leading to the Great Hall. Obviously they were waiting for everyone else to be seated and quiet. They could hear people talking amongst themselves many first years took this as an opportunity to do the same.
A certain greasy haired, hooked nose eleven year old was going on about stuff he read in Hogwarts; A history, and his own opinions.
"It's not really the night sky in the Great Hall. It's just bewitched to look like it. Oh look there's all the professors I can't wait till lessons start. I'll probably be top in our year."
"SHUT UP! Just shut your mouth and don't open it…EVER! We don't care about what you've read, your hopes, opinions, or dreams." Kyleigh snapped at the boy who was really getting on her nerves.
"You know what," He carried on like nothing happened. "They shouldn't let mudbloods into the school only purebloods should be allowed."
"I SAID DON'T OPEN YOUR MOUTH." Kyleigh snapped angrily.
"Or what will happen?" He replied in a I'm-so-scared-of-you-NOT!voice. Kyleigh decided that sometimes actions speak louder then words, so she punched him in the nose. She was aiming for his mouth but he moved.
"Don't you ever use that word in front of my friends…GIT" She whispered threatingly in his ear after beating the shit out of him. He was bleeding so bad he had large bruises all over his body not to mention his nose was broken and he had a black bloody eye. At this point no student was listening to the sorting hat song. All eyes were on Ky and the git; all teachers seemed to be rooted to their spots. The whole time Kyleigh was beating up the git several students; Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, James Potter, were cheering, Sirius more enthusiastically then the other two. Finally Professor Dumbledore spoke, in a calm clear voice,
"If you'd kindly stop fighting Minerva will you escort these seven first years to my office."
"Certainly…come along," She said sharply leading the seven students to the head office.
"Any idea why were going too? I mean it's not like we encouraged the fight." Sirius suddenly asked halfway to the headmaster's office. Everyone but Snape and McGonagall snickered.
"In" She said sharply, "You seven wait here until Professor Dumbledore comes." Professor McGonagall turned leaving the seven of them in silence. Sirius was first to break the silence. He held out his hand to Kyleigh,
"Thank you that was the best performance I have ever seen in my entire life! You mig-"
James who had grabbed the back of Sirius's shirt pulled him towards him muttering,
"Shut up Black." Sirius looked over at Snape and smirked,
"You know that black eye does wonders for your complexion. It's a nice improvement." Lily didn't understand what was going on. What had she been called that was so bad? Leaning over she whispered in Karmatha's ear,
"Any idea what's going on?"
"Nope," came the almost silent reply. Soon the door opened and in walked Professor Dumbledore holding a battered looking hat. Placing the hat on his desk, he turned to the seven students, who were crowded around his desk,
"Lemon drop?" He asked. All seven accepted the candy due to the fact they hadn't eaten in hours.
"Ms. Annerire, you'll receive one and only one detention because it is your first day at Hogwarts. And you Mr. Black will join her because you were so enthusiastic. The rest of you will receive a warning. Now let's sort you. Annerire, Kyleigh." Kyleigh stepped up to Professor Dumbledore as he placed the sorting hat on her head,
"Ah brave, courage and loyalty. With those qualities there's only one place for you, better be…GRYFFINDOR!" She got up and walked over to the right side of the room, before smirking a know-it-all smile at Snape.
"Black, Sirius." Sirius walked over to the stool and sat down the hat was placed on his head,
"Another Black? Normally I would place you in Slytherin…but there's something special about you…GRYFFINDOR!" The hat came off his head as he got up and walked over to James,
"I'm special. The hat said so." He pronounced before joining Kyleigh.
"Yah, special in more then one way." James muttered.
"Dellis, Karmatha" Like Sirius she too sat down and heard the hat speak,
"How interesting, you hold a dark secret. Why don't we place you in…GRYFFINDOR!" Both Sirius and Kyleigh applauded when she went to stand with them, she blushed.
"Evans, Lily." Sitting on the stool Lily became nervous,
"What do we have here you could belong in Ravenclaw…No? I know, GRYFFINDOR!" Lily went over and stood with her three friends.
"Lupin, Remus." Like everyone else before him he sat down on the stool waiting to be sorted.
"How interesting, you too hold a dark secret…like one of the girls I sorted. You have the mind of a Ravenclaw, but there's courage oh yes. Plenty of loyalty as well…GRYFFINDOR!"
"Potter, James." Sitting on the stool he soon heard the hat,
"Gifted in a a lot of ways. Your loyalty is plentiful, and yet so much courage the only real place to put you, GRYFFINDOR!"
"Snape, Severus." Eagerly sitting on the stool the hat barely touched his head when it shouted,
"SLYTHERIN!" He got up to stand by his lonesome.
"There will be food in your dormitories for you, your head of house will be outside to take you to your common rooms. Oh and Ms. Dellis a word please?" Dumbledore informed them. Everyone but Karmatha left Dumbledore's office immediately. A few minutes and she emerged and the six new Gryffindors followed Professor McGonagall to the entrance to the Gryffindor common room.
"Carpe Diem." The fat lady swung open everyone but Karmatha went inside. The other five were engrossed in their conversation and food they didn't notice Karmatha wasn't there.
The next morning at breakfast Kyleigh kept being congratulated by fellow Gryffindors. Ky, Sirius, James, Remus, Lily, Karmatha and the other two first years: Peter and Deanna were all in high spirits until they got their schedules.
"Bloody hell," Muttered James, "We have double transfiguration with the Slytherins."
"I swear if I hear one of them say the word mudblood I'll…"
"We already know what you'll do." Remus cut her off.
"What's a mudblood?" Inquired Lily.
"Mudblood means dirty blood it's a really fowl name for someone who's parents are muggles." Sirius defined the word, "It's to my misfortune I have to live with the most "pruest" of all families, my mother prances around all day long complaining about muggles and dirty blood." Two owls came in and dropped identical slips of paper to Kyleigh and Sirius. They read, "Your detention is tonight at 9:15 pm with Mr. Filch in the Trophy Room."
"I was kind of hoping they would've forgotten about our detentions." Kyleigh said sadly,
"We better get going charms will be starting soon. I always thought charms would be interesting."
"Highlight of my day." Muttered James, but Lily over heard him,
"Well then you won't want to miss it."
