Ahhhhvengers: Yes, Spider Man will be in this story :D


Chapter 3

"This is ridiculous." Okoye said for the fifteenth time today. "Why are we stuck in some stupid British school when we can be learning magic back in Wakanda!"

"Okoye…" T'challa sighed. "You know Wakanda is unsafe because of Klaw's attacks."

"Unsafe? We're talking about Wakanda."

Okoye entered Hogwarts and walked through the large stone hallways of the castle, towards the Great Hall.

"I still don't get how your father hasn't been able to catch Klaw yet." Okoye crossed her arms. "And I can't believe that we will be stuck here for the next seven years."

"It's not that bad." Nakia patted Okoye's shoulder. "We can still go back home during the holidays."

"It's safer, too. The less time we spend in Wakanda, the less likely we are to be there during an attack." M'baku said.

"But if they get attacked, we couldn't help them." Okoye furrowed her eyebrows.

"We're eleven, Okoye." Shuri raised her eyebrow. "What would we do if we were there?"

"I don't know. I'm training to become a Dora Milaje, and you and T'challa are the son and daughter of the king."

"I still don't think there is a lot we can do. We just have to trust my father to keep Wakanda safe."

"But if they got hurt… And we weren't there…"

"They won't. No country is stronger than Wakanda." Nakia smiled

Okoye still wasn't convinced, but continued walking anyway. She had spent less than a day here, and she already missed home.

They walked up a flight of stairs and down a long hallway. They eventually reached two giant wooden doors that lead to the Great Hall. There was a woman with green robes standing at the entrance waiting for them.

The giant man who led them up here spoke to the woman. "The firs' years, professor McGonagall."

"Thank you, Hagrid."

Professor McGonagall turned to the first years. "Welcome to Hogwarts. The start of term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the great hall, you will be sorted into your houses. The sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts. You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory and spend free time in your house common room. The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each house has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn you house points, while any rule breaking will lose house points. At the end of the year, the house with the most house points is awarded the house cup, a great honor. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours."

McGonagall opened the huge doors and told them to form a line.

The room was huge. It had four long tables, one for each house, and one smaller table at the end of the room with the rest of the teachers sitting on it. There wasn't a ceiling in the room, but the walls faded into a night sky.

They walked across the room full of older students and up to a stool with an old looking hat on it.

When all the first years got to the front of the room, the students started to turn their attention to the hat.

Then, to Okoye's surprise, the hat started to sing.

"Oh you may not think I'm pretty, but don't judge on what you see, I'll eat myself if you can find a smarter hat than me. You can keep your bowlers black, your top hats sleek and tall, for I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat and I can cap them all. There's nothing hidden in your head the Sorting Hat can't see, so try me on and I will tell you where you ought to be. You might belong in Gryffindor, Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve, and chivalry set Gryffindors apart; You might belong in Hufflepuff, where they are just and loyal, those patient Hufflepuffs are true and unafraid of toil; Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, if you've a ready mind, where those of wit and learning, will always find their kind; Or perhaps in Slytherin you'll make your real friends, those cunning folks use any means to achieve their ends. So put me on! Don't be afraid! And don't get in a flap! You're in safe hands (though I have none) for I'm a thinking cap!"

The room burst into applause.

Okoye looked around. Nobody seemed to think it was weird that they were being sung to by a hat, so this must be normal. She reminded herself that this place was different than Wakanda.

Professor McGonagall stepped forward. She was holding a roll of parchment. "When I call your name, sit on the stool and put on the hat."

She unrolled the parchment and called the first name.


T'challa's mind raced to figure out which house he would be sorted into. He didn't feel really brave, or kind, or smart, or cunning. He obviously had to be sorted somewhere, but he couldn't really guess where he would be sorted. Maybe Gryffindor…?

"Banner, Bruce!" McGonagall called out.

A nervous-looking boy walked up to the stool. T'challa was glad that he wasn't the only one who felt lost here.

The hat hesitated for a moment before yelling "RAVENCLAW!"

The table that was second from the left cheered, and the boy gave a slight smile before making his way over to the table, where some of the other Ravenclaws shook hands with him.

More names got called. Barnes, James was put in Gryffindor, Barton, Clint went into Hufflepuff, Carter, Peggy also went into Hufflepuff, and more and more students got sorted.

T'challa watched as all the students went up and put on the old hat. Some of them took longer than others, which must mean that they were harder to sort.

The sorting ceremony went on for a while before M'Baku got called up.

When his name was called, M'baku made his way up to the stool and placed the hat on his head. The sorting hat was silent for a long time before it finally yelled "GRYFFINDOR!"

M'baku sat down at the cheering table on the left. He looked relieved.

Nakia was called next.

She sat down on the stool and put on the Sorting Hat.

The Sorting Hat hesitated, then declared that she was a Hufflepuff.

Nakia smiled as she took off the hat and ran over to the Hufflepuff table.

T'challa wondered if all of his friends were going to be in different houses. That would mean he would only get to spend time with one of them. Or he might be in a house with none of them. Would he be able to fit in with strangers? Things seemed so much easier in Wakanda.

When it was Okoye's turn, the hat sorted her into Gryffindor. She walked over to the cheering Gryffindor table and sat down next to M'baku.

T'challa turned to Shuri. It was just the two of them now.

"Good luck." T'challa said.

"You too." Shuri smiled.

"Shuri!*" McGonagall called out.

Shuri stepped up to the stool and put on the hat.

The Sorting Hat only sat on her head for a moment before yelling out "RAVENCLAW!"

T'challa smiled. Of course Shuri was a Ravenclaw.

Now it was his turn.

After a few more names, McGonagall called T'challa up to be sorted.

He put on the Sorting Hat, and he suddenly started to hear a voice in his head.

"Hmmm… Interesting. Very loyal, yes. Very courageous, too. And there's a desire to prove yourself… Hmm… I think it will have to be HUFFLEPUFF!"

T'challa took the hat off of his head and heard the Hufflepuff table applauding him. He walked over to the table and sat down next to Nakia.

"I'm so glad we are in the same house!" Nakia smiled.

T'challa nodded and looked over to see what the others were doing. Okoye and M'baku were talking to each other and Shuri was watching the sorting with a smile on her face.

"Are you worried about the others?"

"Yes.."

"They will be fine. We can spend time with them later."

T'challa hesitated before nodding and turning back to the students that were getting sorted.

When the sorting was done, professor McGonagall closed her scroll and carried the sorting hat away. Then professor Dumbledore, the headmaster, stood up with a smile on his face. "Welcome, everyone, to a new year at Hogwarts!"


*Wakandans don't have last names.
