The school, in a course of 20 years since it's star student, Harry J. Potter had left, had changed very little. The walls were decorated in the same medieval fashion, and the portraits still hung on the walls, in the same way they did 20, and 200 years ago.

The one thing that had changed slightly, was the teachers.

'Hey Jason, who's that teacher with the scene kid hair?' Mike asked

'Oh, that's Professor Gerald Romulus. He teaches defence against the dark arts.'

'Gerald Romulus? But he's the singer of the muggle band 'Chemical Erasmus!'

'Yeah, he does it as a hobby, most of his band are also of magical descent.'

This is getting wierder by the moment, Mike thought. What next, the bassist of 'Removing Thursday?'

'Well, who are the others, since I have no idea of magical folk? ' Mike asked Jason again

'Don't sweat it man! Next to Gerald's Left is Professor McGonnacal, she's celebrating her 80th year as a teacher here!. Then follows professor Longbottom, he does herbs and the likes. To Gerald's right is Professor Granger, and she does Magical History. They say the previous teacher was a ghost, and very boring. And in the middle is the headteacher, Anopheles Dromus. I dont know the teacher's from his right..their probably new.

Mike saw a group of teachers, but he couldn't quite distinguish their features, as they we're all clustered up in a circle. They we're all wearing the black standard Hogwarts robes.

Suddenly, a deep voice boomed across the hallway.

'Please, all first years take your seats at the front seats arranged.'

They strolled across the massive dining tables where the older students sat, and took a place at the front.

Professor Granger greeted them.

'I will read this list, and everytime your name is summoned you will sit here' she said, indicating to a wooden stool next to her 'And the sorting hat' she said, holding it up 'Will place you in your house.'

'Aaron, Archidamus'

The young boy sat up and sat on the stool. Before he could get comfortable, the hat came down and exclaimed

'Hufflepuff!'

The kid smiled meekly, got up and walked to the far east table.

And names continually were summoned. Jason was placed in Ravenclaw. The girl mike had seen was also placed there. Then came Mike's turn.

The hat thought for a bit. 2 minutes passed, and then exclaimed

'I give up mate, your useless, take your pick.'

'Um..Ravenclaw ?'

'A dumb choice, but as you please. NOW GEDDOF ME!'

The school hall erupted with laughter.

Mike walked solemnly towards Ravenclaw, and took a place with Jason. Yep, it looked like things we're not gonna get any better.
