After all of the children were brought to Hogsmeade, They were first divided between the literate and the illiterate. Then each of them was asked to hold a crystal in their hand that lit up with a number. As they did this, their names and numbers were written down.
The next day, the forty literate kids with the highest scores were escorted to Hogwort's to be sorted. This group included all of the half-bloods and pure bloods and the muggleborns who got in were all from Hogsmeade.
Next, it was time for the rest of the children to be sorted. They were sorted into ten super-houses, each of which had ten sub-houses. The super-houses were: Weasley, Tyler, Lovegood, Stormosi, Draconis, Longbottom, Chang, McMillan, Tonks, and Grublyplank. For the sorting, a new hat was used. Before the sorting, it sang its' song:
"We are embarking into a new world
A brand new school unfurled
With ten new houses for me to sort
the seeds of future schools with doors.
There's Weasleys for those who follow rules
and win respect from common fools
Tyler fights to never lose
she's unafraid of any tools
Lovegood seeks those who have the sight
that they may guide those on the cause of right.
Stormosi seeks those who know the score
that they may strive to attain more
Draconis wants to rule the rest
by always striving to be the best
Longbottom wants those who are brave and true
who fight for right in this world that's new
Chang values beauty, harmony and love
she's sweeter than the morning dove
McMillian seeks those who's loyalty sings
betray them and you'll feel their sting
Tonks' house is for the oddballs
the hidden treasure in these hallowed halls
Grublyplank seeks to be friends with nature
so we can have a greener future
And now my sorting song is sung
let's find your house, where your hat is hung!"
Sorting took a week. Each day the students would watch their fellows being sorted and cheer those who had joined their house. Waiting for the sorting to end gave the students lots of time to get to know one another. Uther Windsor made two new friends while waiting to be sorted. Mike Benton was a nice chap whose grandfather had told him lots of stories about fighting off alien invasions when he was in the army. Benton's grandpa reckoned that the Change must have been cause by the Cybermen or something like them. Mike's Grandma had been a witch but his pa had not inherited the gift. They also made friends with a girl named 'Trisha Smith. He grandma had been a reporter and her family had been friends with the Benton for a long time. After the sorting, they all went their separate ways as Uther ended up in Draconis house. Mike ended up in Lovegood house and 'Trisha was sorted into Tonks house.
