Chapter 3, Repost
"Hagrid why are two of the student's wet?" McGonnagal asked, looking at Ken and Kai.
"Kai fell in the lake Professor and Ken jumped in to save him," Hagrid said, patting Ken's shoulder. Both boys nodded.
"You fell in?" McGonnagal asked skeptically, no one had ever fallen into the lake...the only other person to end up in the lake was pushed. "Are you sure you just fell."
"Quite sure Professor. I was leaning over to touch the water but because of my disability I leaned a little too far and fell in," Kai lied. Because he couldn't see he missed the surprised looks on the faces of the people in his boat.
"Oh of course now I remember, Draco Malfoy's son," McGonnagal said cheerfully. "Now we shall enter the hall and you shall be sorted into your houses before the feast. Oh and..." she muttered an incantation and Kai and Ken's clothes were dry but their hair was still soaking wet. "now, follow me." She opened the doors and led the students between the hushed tables, Kai and Ken in front. Ken was holding Kai's arm to make the walk easier for his new friends.
"Thanks Ken," Kai said as they stopped. The whole hall was silent as the hat sung, except for Kai. "What is that?"
"It looks like a hat...but it's singing," Ken answered confused.
"When I call your name please step forewards and put the hat on. It shall then decide which house you belong in," McGonnagal told the students. "Julian Ambrose." A small boy with thick black hair walked up to the stool and had the hat placed on his head. After a few moments the hat decided...
"HUFFLEPUFF!" There was clapping as Julian went to his house table. Kai of course had seen none of this and only understood that the boy was in Hufflepuff.
"William Broadshaw." This boy, as the others could see, had short blonde hair in spikes and tanned skin. "SLYTHERIN!"
"John Bray." This boy was plump and hia curly brown hair that flopped over his forehead. The hat took a few seconds to decide. "HUFFLEPUFF!" Kai had had a suddenly bad thought, what if he couldn't find the stool and ended up making a fool of himself. Four people were sorted as his thought's focused on his worry, one into Slytherin, one Hufflepuff and two Ravenclaw's.
"Kitty Dyson." Kitty had very curly red hair that bounced on her shoulders as she walked. But despite how pretty and innocent she looked there was an evil glint in her eyes which Jason picked out immediatly. "SLYTHERIN!" This surprised those who hadn't noticed the glint.
"Lillian Elgin." A small girl with mousy brown hair that hung down to her waist walked slowly, almost sadly to the stool. "HUFFLEPUFF!"Jason noticed that no one so far had been sorted into Gryffindor...Gryffindor had noticed too.
"Ken Flynn." Ken went to the stool and sat slowly. The hat took mere seconds to decide. "GRYFFINDOR!" There were loud cheers this time because Gryffindor had it's first new student.
"Jennifer Kent." An Asian girl with bobbed black hair walked up to the stool. "RAVENCLAW!"Jenny almost skipped to her table.
"Arthur Kent." Arthur was also Asian so it was likely that he was Jennifer's twin with a beaming smile and he looked very much at ease as he sat on the stool infront of everyone. "HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Kai Malfoy." There was a sudden silence in the hall. 'Oh great' Kai thought bitterly and he started feeling the ground infront of him with his walking stick. There were some quiet laugh's although most people were confused.
"Let me help you," it was Laura who took his arm and led him up the steps onto the platform and to the stool, not caring that quite a few people were glaring at her.
"Thank you," Kai said to her as she walked back to the group and the hat was placed on his head. He jumped slightly when he heard a voice inside his head.
Another Malfoy, not as corrupted as your father was at this age.
'He's not like that any more.'
I know...but your classmates don't.
'I don't care what they think, they won't like me anyway because I'm blind.'
Being blind will not hinder you. Now I could place you in Hufflepuff for your loyalty to your father. Or Ravenclaw because of how smart you are. Gryffindor's a possibility for your hidden bravery. Slytherin too for you can be cunning when need be. You are a difficult one.
'I don't mean to be difficult.'
Such a polite boy, it make a change from "Can yah hurry it up coz loads of people are looking at me?" Kai laughed quietly. Well, from what I can see you will do your best in...
"GRYFFINDOR!" No cheering, just a hushed silence.
'Thank you.' Kai took the hat from his head and stood. Laura once again helped him down and to the Gryffindor table where he sat at the end away from the others.
"Hather May." A shy looking girl with glasses and blonde pigtail plaits walked up to the stool. "GRYFFINDOR!" This time there was cheering, that's because it was a disable Malfoy joining the house.
"Victor Nelson." A thin boy with brown hair and a confident look about him went up. He was the one who had pushed Kai in but of course Kai didn't know this. "SLYTHERIN!" Six more children were sorted but Kai didn't notice as he was still thinking about what the hat had said, two Ravenclaws, a Gryffindor, a Hufflepuff and two Slytherin's.
"Natalie Pierce." She was to put it bluntly a goth with dyed black hair and a heavy amount's of make-up on. "HUFFLEPUFF!" The hat's decision obviously shocked Natalie as she looked stunned and she walked to the table.
"Jason Potter." And yet another hushed silence, but this time in admiration as the son of the famous Harry Potter walked up to the stool. Jason sighed, not really liking the attention.
How very much like your father you are Mr Potter
'Excuse me? Did you just talk?'
Yes I did. I remember your father pleaded with me not to put him in Slytherin, what if I put his son in it?
'If you did that I think he might rip you up.' The hat actually chuckled.
It is much easier to place you than some of the others, for example Mr Malfoy.
'He doesn't belong in Gryffindor, he's a Slytherin.'
Kai Malfoy would never have made a true Slytherin, now you I am going to place it...
"GRYFFINDOR!" Jason beamed as the cheers and applause started and then sat at the table by Ken, glaring at Kai who was completely oblivious.
"Victoria Rutherford." A slightly plump girl went up to the stool, he brown hair hiding her face from the stares of the hall. "RAVENCLAW!"
"Tommy Staples." He looked rather shy and wore big glasses. "RAVENCLAW!"
"Cora Smith." She was small with bright red hair and 'wonky' teeth that showed when she smiled. "GRYFFINDOR!"
"Aaron Tomlinson." Anyone could tell looking at Aaron that he would grow up to be the girls favourite with light brown hair which hung in curtains and dazzling blue eyes. "RAVENCLAW!"
"Robin Townsend." She would also grow up to gain attention with wavy blonde hair and creamy white skin. "GRYFFINDOR!" Jason missed 14 students being sorted because he was talking with Ken but two went in to each house.
"Samantha Williams." A small girl with long brown hair and a sulky look on her face walked up to the stool. "SLYTHERIN!"
"Laura Wood." Laura walked calmly up the steps and sat down on the stool. The hat took a few moments to decide. "GRYFFINDOR!" Unlike everyone else she sat down beside Kai and said nicely to him,
"It's nice to know someone in this house already." This earned glares from almost every Gryffindor at the table, possibly only with the exception of Ken.
"Megan York." The last student to be sorted was small and had very light brown hair, almost blonde and had a bruise on her cheek. "SLYTHERIN!" In total about 40 1st years had gone threw the sorting ceremony as they did every year.
"Welcome!" Dumbledore said cheerfully, standing up. "Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say...have fun! Behave! But most of all...enjoy the food!" With that said, food appeared on the tables and Dumbledore sat down. Laura helped Kai get food onto his plate and was the only one to talk to him. She didn't tell him about the numerous glares being shot his way, she didn't need to, he could fell it.
A/N I had to pick thier houses myself because I didn't get reviews in time. Hope I haven't dissapointed anyone with my choices.
