"Everybody settle down it is now time to sort our first years into their houses," Albus Dumbledore said loudly. Everyone in the Great Hall got quiet.

"Now when I call your name you will come up to the stool and place the sorting hat on your head," Proffesor McGonnall said, "Timothy McGivven"

"HUFFLEPUFF" the Hufflepuff table roared as Timothy sat down.

"Roxanne Miller"

"GRYFFYNDOR"

"Jenna Jacobson"

"RAVENCLAW"

"Patrick Galleray"

"HUFFLEPUFF" the sorting hat screamed as Patrick stepped down.

"Terosia Thomas"

"SLYTHERIN"

"Now the next person has transferred here from Durmstrang and is going into her 5th year," Professor McGonagall said, "Riley Evans"

Riley sat down on the stool waiting to be sorted. When the hat was placed on her hat Harry could see it talking, but could not hear what it was saying. Finally the hat picked her house.

"SLYTHERIN," the sorting hat screamed. Harry couldn't believe it. Hermione gasped and Ron almost fell out of his chair. Nobody looked more surprised then the teachers. All of them were whispering wildly. Riley stepped down and ran over to the Slytherin table.

After everyone had been sorted the tables filled with delicious food. Neither Hermione, Ron, nor Harry could talk. Finally Hermione broke the silence.

"How could your cousin be in Slytherin?" Hermione asked. Harry didn't answer. Hermione waited then said something else.

"Ron," she said, "What did Malfoy do to make you so mad?" Ron looked up at her and looked back down.

"This is getting ridiculous you guys," Harry screamed, "Malfoy called you a mud blood and Ron punched him in the stomach and kicked him in the shins." Ron started to eat faster and Hermione looked at him.

"You did? Thank you," Hermione said smiling, "Please forgive me." Ron looked up at her and smiled.

"All right, but please don't call me poor again," he said. Hermione nodded. It was time to go up to their chambers, so they all got up. Hermione got up and hugged Ron.

"Finally you two made up, I was starting to think that I was going to have to choose between you for the rest of the year." Harry told them laughing.

All the Gryffindors walked up to the Fat Lady picture and waited to find out the new password. One of the Prefects came up and said "Bludger". The picture wall opened and everyone stepped into the Common room.

Ron and Harry went up to the boy dormitories and set up their beds. Just as Harry was putting up his Quidditch poster Hermione ran in.

"Ron, Harry," she yelled, "Riley's stuff is in my room." Harry looked at her and told her that they probably just got the houses mixed up. She stomped out of the room and Harry got into bed.

Harry woke suddenly and looked over at Ron who was up too. They heard a noise coming from the common room. Ron got up and walked out the door quietly, and Harry followed. The hall was very dark and Harry heard the sound of creaking wood as he walked. Finally they got to the common room and saw Hermione talking to someone.

"Hermione what are you doing," Ron asked her. She turned toward them and Harry saw Riley sitting across from her.

"Oh Riley, what are you doing here?" Harry asked.

"My luggage wouldn't move out of these dormitories, so I had to move here." She said happily.

"What do you mean it wouldn't move out of these dormitories," Ron asked sitting down next to Hermione. Riley looked between them and smiled.

"Are you two okay now," she asked. When they nodded yes she moved on.

" Well my luggage got transported up in this house and when all the teachers and students tried to pull them away they wouldn't budge." Harry looked at Ron and Ron nodded.

"We're going to bed," Harry and Ron said at the same time. As they walked out they could hear the girls giggling, then Harry heard Riley say "Boys, boys." Ron and Harry smiled as they got into bed once again.
