The Raven Girls Two girls walked up to the school. "Is this Hogwarts? It sure don't look like it." The first girl said. This girl had raven colored hair and had purple eyes. She was wearing a plum colored sweater with a white shirt underneath. She had a green silk short skirt. "Yeah of course it is. Let's go." The second girl said. She had the same raven hair but she had light-colored purple eyes like a cat. Unlike her companion she was wearing a long orange silk skirt with a blue short-sleeved shirt with white lace on the sleeves and bottom of the shirt. She looked nicer and good-hearted then the first girl who looked determined and cold-hearted. They walked up to the school and the raven-haired girl banged the door open and stormed in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hogwarts was in the middle of sorting the students when the Great Hall door burst open and two girls came in. One was striding quickly to Dumbledore while the other one just came in and sat down at the closest table that happened to be the Slytherin table. A boy with slick black hair came over. "Hey, I'm Severus Snape and I am in Slytherin. Who are you? Are you new?" he asked in a friendly but kind of superior voice. She blushed.

"Um, well I'm Diane and yeah I'm new. I'm pure-blood but I'm not really sure what the Slytherins are like." Diane said uncertainly. Snape smiled and said

" Well Slytherin is for the ambitious, and cunning and we do what ever we can to get things done. Especially pranks. The Griffindors are know-it-alls, snotty and the brave ones who value chivalry and friendship." Snape said in a disgusted voice. "Then there are the Ravenclaws who are stuck-up, and are the brainy people. Then there's Hufflepuffs who are idiots and are just and true and just to fair. They are the worst house I think. How old are you anyway?" Snape asked looking a little more interested in her.

"I'm 12 and will be in the 2nd year with my sister Raven. She's up there talking- or rather yelling at Dumbledore." Diane said blushing a little. Indeed Raven was yelling at Dumbledore up at the Head Table and everybody was watching. Diane seemed very embarrassed. Suddenly, Dumbledore stood up.

"Attention! We have two new students from Connor's Magic School. These students shall be sorted at the end of the Sorting. Thank you." Dumbledore sat down. Diane looked nervous but Snape said" Don't worry. You'll be fine. Hope you're in Slytherin." Diane nodded thankfully but she thought that Hufflepuff sounded the worst then Slytherin, Ravenclaw and finally Griffindor.

"Now we shall sort the two new students. They are both sisters and we're very glad to have them join us." Dumbledore said.

" Volatilis, Diane" (a/n: Volatilis is Latin for "Flying/swift)

Diane got up from the Slytherin table (after Snape said good luck) and put the hat on.

"A Volatilis eh? You and your sister will do great things here. Well let me see. You have the courage and bravery to be in Griffindor but then you have the brains and hard-working skills to be a Ravenclaw. You have cunning for tricks and you are determined to get things down like the Slytherins. You are patient and loving but you are no where near being fit to be a Hufflepuff. You are good in all three but you can't possibly be in all three. Well as much as you don't like it I'm going to put you in the house that will help you and you're sister one day. That will be SLYTHERIN!"

The Slytherin table cheered and Snape looked happy. Diane didn't look that happy but she went over and sat next to Snape. The Griffindor table looked like they might have a new enemy on their hands since she was talking to Snape.

"Hi. Well I guess I made it into Slytherin."Diane said in a less than cheerful voice. But Snape didn't seem to notice.

"Hey, great job! I knew you were one of us. Would you like to be in my group with Luicius Malfoy? He's not the best but he is ok." Snape said.

"Sure. And um" Diane looked kind of nervous "can I be your friend?" she asked hopefully. Snape smiled and said "Sure. You are one of us now. Right?" he said.

Diane looked better "Right!" she said.

Then her sisters name was called.

"Volatilis, Raven" The girl looked to be a Slytherin with her cold eyes and her superior look. She walked up to the hat and put it on. For a few minutes the hat was silent but then it called "GRIFFINRIN!" Everybody was confused. The hat had said a part of each name. Even Raven looked confused. Then it shouted out again " SLYTHERIN!" Diane clapped along with the whole Slytherin table. Later as they were going out Diane could see that Raven looked very worried and confused.

"What's wrong Raven? Why did the Sorting Hat say two different names?" Diane asked. Raven looked worried but then said " I'll tell you when we go to bed Diane. For now we should hurry so come on!" So they rushed along and soon got to the common room. But when they went upstairs they saw somebody they really didn't want to see.
