Chapter 18
"Oh yes I'm old and tattered,
But I'm here to tell you now,
You must stand united,
And I shall tell you how
You must grow and learn,
Be together as a one,
Let each other speak in turn,
And together have some fun
It's vital to stay together,
This is your warning if you please,
If we cut the tethers,
It will bring us to our knees
Don't become our leaders,
Who crumbled and fell apart,
Their friendships, how they teetered,
And they became so very tart
So stay strong and firm,
Don't hand out any offense,
And have an excellent term,
Now let this Sorting now commence"
As the Sorting Hat finished its song, the Hall gave applause, though no cheers were heard, for everyone was quietly whispering to those around them about the Sorting Hat's song.
"Well, same message as last year, stay together, eh?" Harry said to Ron and Hermione.
"Yes, well, we already know we need to do that," Hermione said.
Once more, Dumbledore rose to speak.
"Let the feast begin."
Immediately, wonderful foods appeared on the table. Everyone began to eat happily, enjoying the wonderful taste of the foods. After the feast, everyone went to their respective common rooms. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny approached the Fat Lady and gave the password, (Glumbumble), and then headed into the common room. Ron pecked Hermione on the cheek, and Harry took Ginny aside and gave her another kiss. Once again, they felt connected to each other and both felt that wonderful warm sensation all throughout their body. They finally bid each other goodnight and Ron and Harry made their way to the boy's dormitory. They changed into their pajamas, and climbed into bed.
"Goodnight Harry."
"Night Ron."
"Oh, Harry, one more thing."
"Yeah?"
"If you hurt my sister, I'll kill you, regardless of whether or not you're my best mate, alright?" Harry suppressed a snort of mirth and said, "Wouldn't dream of it mate."
