Getting Sorted
Demon walked into the headmaster's office looking around in astonishment. Her eyes immediately fell to the books on the shelves. She began to walk towards one of them when Dante spoke up.
"Hey. Books later ok?" He said smiling. Demon always loved to read but she wasn't a huge book worm.
"Right. Sorry." Demon said continuing up to where Dante sat. An old wizard with long white hair and a beard to match sat behind an old fashion desk looking at her through half moon spectacles. "Hello Professor. How are you?" She asked politely.
"I'm magnificent. You?" He asked motioning her towards a chair next to Dante.
"I'm fine." Demon said taking a seat.
"Now, I understand that you've never been to a wizarding school before." He said. Demon nodded. And he continued, "You'll be entering in your last year, which means you have to be sorted. But before we get to that you are aware that you have missed your O.W.L.'s. I also understand that you have other unique powers. Many you give the school a demonstration at dinner?"
"I am aware of that Sir. Also I am prepared to take the tests right away. And I'll give a demonstration if you really want me too." Demon said respectively.
"Right away? Do you not wish time to study?" Professor McGonagall asked confused.
"No, I believe that I can pass these tests without studying first. It may be my first time coming to a wizarding school but I have been teaching myself." Demon said turning to face her.
"Very well, you may take the tests starting tomorrow." Professor Dumbledore said as Demon turned back to him. "Now we may sort you as dinner shall be starting soon."
"Of course." Demon said glancing at Dante. He smiled at her and nodded his head. She turned back to Professor Dumbledore as he pulled an old hat, that she had not noticed upon her entrance to the office, off a shelf and walked towards her. After giving her a little wink he placed the hat on her head. She heard Dante stifle his laughter and was about to say something when she heard a voice.
"Hmmm. Difficult. You're very brave and loyal to all your friends, willing to die for them I see. Also… oh wait… that's not?" The voice said looking through her mind. Demon knew what it had found.
'Please. Leave that memory. I'm trying my hardest to forget it.' She thought.
"Very well dear." The hat said. "Your very smart and outgoing. You'll do well in all of these houses."
'Fred and George me told of the Slytherin House. I don't want to be in that house. The twins seem really nice though.' Demon thought.
"Ahh. Yes the Weasley twins. I can see that your very much like them in some ways but also very different in others. Yes well, I believe that you shall belong in… GRYFFINDOR!" The hat said loudly obviously letting the rest of the room know its decision. Professor Dumbledore took the hat off her head and she looked over at Dante. She smiled at him as they stood.
"Well, it's about time for dinner. Leave your things and they will appear in your room when you return to the common room after dinner. Speaking of which, let's head down shall we?" Dumbledore said smiling. "And Dante I was wondering if you wanted to join us for dinner?"
"Ok." Dante said. They headed towards the Great Hall and we're greeted by most of the students and staff.
"This should be interesting." Demon muttered to herself. Dante heard this and poked her in the side for encouragement, like he always did. She gave a silent squeak and punched him in the arm, like she always did. "So are you going to sit with me?" She asked him.
"Just to bug you I think I will." Dante said jokingly. Half the school was looking at them now as they walk towards one of the four long tables and Demon guessed that the table at the front of the room was the staff table.
"If you'll follow me please." Professor McGonagall led them to one of the tables in the middle. Demon saw Fred and George sitting near the front with two empty spots next to them. The entire table was looking at her and Dante when she realized she was still in her normal clothes while the rest of the school was in uniforms. She shrugged it off as she Dante and Professor McGonagall made their way to the empty seats, while Professor Dumbledore made his way to the staff table. Demon sat down next to Fred and Dante sat down on her other side. She smiled at Fred and looked at Professor McGonagall once again. "Professor Dumbledore would like you to give your demonstration before we begin dinner." She said as Demon nodded. Then she walked up to the staff table and sat next to Professor Dumbledore as he stood up to talk. The room had been relatively quiet but all the whispers disappeared when he stood.
"We have a new student, as you can all tell. It's her first year ever going to a wizarding school and she is in her seventh and last year. If you would please come up, I would like you all to meet Desdemona Pendragon." He said as Demon stood up. She walked up to the staff table and turned around to face the school. All the students stared at her and her clothes. "She has rare and unique powers unlike any I've seen before."
