Chapter 3
They all arrived at the Great Hall just in time for the sorting to start. But before that, Dumbledore stood up to say a speech.
"I know that we usually start our sorting first then announcements, but first I would like to introduce you to your new Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher, Professor Cerillia."
There was a huge applause from all the students when they saw a young nervous woman, who has green eyes and short, curly brown hair, stand.
"Yes, welcome to Hogwarts. Also, we have a new fifth year student in our midst. Allura Claw, she will be sorted right after the first years. Let the sorting begin." he finished.
In a booming voice, the sorting hat started
"Addis, Fincher"
Slytherin!
"Cinder, Ella"
Hufflepuff!
And on and on it went until all the first years were sorted, the moment Harry, Hermione and Ron were waiting for finally came.
"Claw, Allura"
Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw, to none she belongs. Serpentstoria!
The whole Hall fell silent as Allura took off the Sorting Hat and went up to Professor Dumbledore.
"Well, Professor Dumbledore, where am I supposed to go?"
"Where ever you wish, Allura." he answered.
She then stood between the Gryffindor and Slytherin table. She looked at the friends she made in the compartment and Draco Malfoy.
She walked toward the Slytherin table and sat next to Draco, after he made Pansy sit somewhere else.
The silence still followed as Dumbledore stared at the Heads of the Houses, especially Professor Snape.
"You must all be hungry." he said smiling.
Then suddenly food appeared at the table and everyone started to eat.
"Hermione, do you know what's going on?" asked Ron as he glanced at the Slytherin table.
"This is what you get for not reading Hogwarts: A History. When Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff started to choose students that suited them the most, they were left with two particular students. Both were the most powerful students they have ever seen. They were even more powerful than Merlin himself. No matter what they did, they couldn't decide which house these two students belong to. They then made the Sorting Hat." she started.
"Wait a minute, you mean that they didn't make the Sorting Hat after they thought about how the students will be sorted after they were dead?" Ron interrupted.
Harry looked around and saw that all the students in the Gryffindor House were either listening to what Hermione was saying or (especially the students in Sixth and Seventh year, or the students who read Hogwarts: A History) were telling the younger students the same thing Hermione was saying. The similar thing was happening at the Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables.
"Yes, we'll learn all about it this year during History. Anyways, the sorting hat couldn't sort them either because these two students,
a boy and a girl who had nothing to do with each other relation wise for example: bother or sister or cousin or whatever, had all the Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw qualities and more. So they all invented a new house, Serpentstoria, which means unknown in the language that very, very ancient wizards spoke. Their house symbol is H itself because it was the symbol of the unknown for us wizards, just like for the Gyrffindors have a lion." she continued
"So H doesn't stand for Hogwarts?" a second year student asked.
"Yes and no. The two students later on got married and formed a very powerful line. Their children can come to Hogwarts to learn only if they learned lessons from other schools that Hogwarts won't teach, like the Dark Arts, and that's only if the children want to come to Hogwarts. It was a rule set by the students who first came to the Serpentstoria House. That's why it's so rare to see a Serpentstoria. And since there's only one Serpentstoria every 50 years or so, the Serpentstoria can sit on any table they want for dinner. So that means that Allura might come here tomorrow or something." Hermione finished all in one breath.
"Hermione, I have one question that I have been thinking about all the time you've been talking." Ron said.
"What's that?" Hermione asked, happy that Ron's finally interested in something she said.
"Did you memorize the whole book?" he asked.
