Chapter 7 - The Sorting
The First years walked away from the dock up the first year's steps following Hagrid to the side of the great hall where they see Rubeus Hagrid stop at the top.
"Greeting First year students your about to enter
The Great Hall where we are going to sort you into the four great houses of Hogwarts, this will be done by calling you names, and you will come up and I will put the sorting hat on you, and he will decide what house you will be in. Now get in an orderly line and follow me."
"I have a few starts of term notices I wish to announce. The first years please note that the dark forest is strictly forbidden to all students. Also, our caretaker, Mr. Filch," shows a ragged old man, called Mr. Argus Filch, with his cat with red eyes, called Mrs. Norris," has asked me to remind you that the 3rd floor corridor on the right-hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death.
We also have new teachers and teachers changing positions, most of you know. Charley Weasley teaching Care of Magical Creatures, Hagrid is now teaching Advanced Care of Magical Creatures, Bill Weasley is a new teacher and Quirrell will be returning to teach the Defense agent the dark arts,
all years will be taking it and the lessons will be longer.
Merlin Dumbledore is teaching Potions, this summer Snape died.
Bill Weasley is also the New Head of Slytherin,
Thank you." Said Albus, He sits back down.
The group of first years huddled near the door wile Rubeus Hagrid walked to the front and grabbed a list and faced the room and placed an old dirty hat one the on a stool. He woke up and started singing the following song.
Hogwarts, Hogwarts,
Hoggy Warty Hogwarts
Teach us something, please,
Whether we be old and bald
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling
With some interesting stuff,
For now they are bare and full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff,
So teach us things worth knowing,
Bring back what we have forgot,
Just do your best, we will do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot.
"First years please come up and sit on the stool
when you name is said." Said Hagrid. "Our first new Centaurs students are. Arterus."
'A special and caring mind you have here, you have the heart like the great Gryffindor himself.'
'I want to stay to plain Slytherin.'
"Arterus is in Slytherin."
"His brother Aseimon." Said Hagrid.
'Your brother is in Slytherin, you are brave,
another great mind, strong.'
'I want to be in Hufflepuff.'
"Aseimon for Hufflepuff."
"And his brother Alebius." Said Hagrid.
'Your brothers are in Slytherin and Hufflepuff.

"Gryffindor."
"Also, the first Elf to join us, Dobby." Said Hagrid.
'A great heart, mind, and spirit also the safest spot for you will be Gryffindor,'
"My new adopted Dad said go Slytherin."
"Slytherin."
He started walking towards the Slytherin table.

Lil Arthur went and sat next to Charley, then Dobby went and sat by Lil Arthur, and hugged him.
"Hagrid, Harry," Said Hagrid.

"You always seem to know more then you let on." Said Charley.
"Dumbledore said someone suggest me, someone who has been here for ten years." Said Charley. "Strange have you not been for that long? Since you were two."
