Chapter 2

"Shut up! Sorting is about to begin." Whispered the little redhead behind him who glared with her piercing green eyes. Shaking his head, Sebastien turned to the front and listened to one of the teachers call up the students.

When it came time for Sarah to go up, she looked a little nervous. Taking in a deep breath, she walked up to the sorting hat.

Steph took the time to look around the hall. The ceiling was enchanted to look like the sky above. Tonight the night was clear, the stars were clearly visible and the moon was almost full. There were four long tables and one head table. Since it was so early in the semester, there were only a couple of teachers there. Professor Dumbledore, the headmaster, the greasy haired teacher she and Sarah didn't want, and an extremely large and hairy man. She looked back at Sarah just in time to see her put the hat on her head.

Questions ran through her mind; "What house are we going to be in? Where are the houses? Are we going to be separated? Do we have to remember a password? My memory sucks, I'm hungry..."

"GRYFFINDOR!" Steph jumped as the hat finally yelled out the name of Sarah's house.

"'Bout bloody time Sarah!" yelled Steph as she walked up to take her turn.

"Not my fault it had problems picking! I'm just a naturally confusing person." Retorted Sarah.

"Yeah sure." Steph snickered as she slipped her head into the hat.

"Well well well, another girl from Canada." Said a voice in her ear. The hat was talking to her in her mind. "Please don't tell me all Canadians are as difficult to sort as you two. You have a kind heart and a lot of courage, which would make you a perfect Gryffindor, but you also have a sneaky and conniving side with a thirst to prove yourself, the qualities needed for a Slytherin. You would be a very loyal Hufflepuff and a brilliant Ravenclaw." Steph rolled her eyes.

She thought to herself, 'Just pick one, pick the first one that comes to mind.'

"No," said the hat, "You pick, Gryffindor or Slytherin?"

'I don't care.' She sighed inwardly. 'Slytherin I guess.'

"Alright then, I'll put you in... SLYTHERIN!" Stephanie took off the hat and joined Sarah off the stage.

As she passed Sebastien, she whispered, "Good luck, he's having decision problems."

"And you yelled at me that I was slow!" scoffed Sarah as she tried to hide her grin.

"I guess he thought we were both just trying to bug him so he split us up." Giggled Steph.

"Doesn't matter, we can alw—"

"RAVENCLAW!" interrupted the hat. He had just placed Sebastien. Next Patrick walked up and put the hat on his head.

"As I was saying," said Sarah as she started again, "We can always fi—"

"HUFFLEPUFF!" interrupted the hat again. Patrick rejoined the group.

"God dammit! Can't I finish a god damn sentence?" growled Sarah in a hushed voice. "We can always find places to hang out. Not like we're stuck in our house common room all the time." She finished quickly.

"Yeah that's true." answered Steph. "Looks like Sebastien and Patrick had the same problem as us." The other students were sorted into their appropriate houses. Five girls were added to Gryffindor, three guys in Slytherin, four girls and guys into Ravenclaw, and three boys into Hufflepuff.

Dumbledore stood up as the hat was taken away. "Welcome once again," he said in a loud and resonant voice, "Your new houses will be like your family. You will gain house points for jobs well done, and lose points if you break the rules. The house cup is awarded to the house with the most points at the end of the year. The curfew to be in your common rooms and not running about freely throughout the rest of the school will be eleven o'clock. Any students caught out of their appropriate houses after curfew will be punished and must pay consequentially. But until the term actually begins, have fun, explore and get to know one another. You will dress in your house colors from now on. Winter uniforms will take place in mid-November, until then you will wear your summer uniforms."

He waved his wand and the uniforms they were wearing changed to their house colors. Sarah now wore a red and gold plaid mini skirt, Steph had a similar one but with Green and Silver instead, Patrick wore a yellow and black plaid tie, and Sebastien wore a blue and bronze tie. The Hogwarts crests on their shirts became their new house crests. A lion for Sarah, snake for Stephanie, a Badger for Patrick and a Raven for Sebastien.

"Sweet!" said Steph, "My favorite color."

"Now," said Dumbledore, "Each house has a head of house. However, since it is two weeks before start of term, the heads are not all present. Slytherin's head of house is Professor Snape, at my right. He will show our new Slytherin members to their common room. Professor Mcgonagall is head of Gryffindor, though sadly she is not here tonight, Mr. Filch our caretaker, will show you to your own common room." The small group of students looked behind them to see a filthy, skinny and cruel looking man.

"Great," mumbled Sarah, "I get the grinch as a guide."

"Well I get the 'happy' teacher." Drawled Steph sarcastically, "I think I read about him, he's probably the potions teacher."

"For Hufflepuff, Professor Sprout, however our grounds keeper Hagrid will lead you. And finally, concerning Ravenclaw, your head of house is Professor Flitwick, who is as well not present tonight. In his place, I will lead you to your common room. Go now to follow your guides, your bags are already in your dormitories. Settle down and take these two free weeks to shop for the remainder of your school supply in Diagon Alley; there is a portal in the room right next to the Great Hall. And don't be afraid to explore the castle. Have a good night everyone." He concluded. "Ravenclaw follow me."

"Slytherin this way," spoke Professor Snape in an oily voice, "No talking, no laughing, no bitching, understood?"

"Yes professor Snape." Said the Slytherin's quietly trailed after him.

'Damn,' Thought Stephanie, 'He's quite a jolly fellow. Hope he's not to tough in class.' She followed him out of the Great Hall and waved to Sarah as she turned off into a dark hallway next to the staircase situated outside the main entrance leading to the Great Hall.

Well there ya have it, more nothingness, don't worry, there will be a plot, we just have to make sure everything flows, can't just jump into it now can we ;)
