"Oh, Merlin I hope I'm not in Slytherin, No offense o'course Sirius, It's just that, well I've never heard anything good about it, so naturally you wouldn't want to be in it right, and Merlin I'm rambling now."
James ground out, wiping the sweat off his forehead, then glared at his robes for being too hot. Sirius was staring at the doors as if they were the most evil things in the world, and Remus had found one of his school books and started to read, he was very enthusiastic to start off the year, and had read all of his textbooks twice, and memorized every one of the volumes, word for word. Sirius sighed stood behind Remus trying to see what he was reading, once figuring it out he gasped indignantly.
"you're reading the textbook Remus, are you mad, sheesh I never thought that someone would ever do that for pleasure it's mad , yep, no other way to put it, I think textbooks are a load of rubbish meself."
Remus blushed, he could feel the heat from Sirius breath on his neck, and it was all that he could do not to smile, and lean back to feel it again. For one thing about Remus John Lupin, was that not only was he a werewolf, but he was gay as well, he was so many things people hated it was ridiculous, werewolf, know-it-all, too-shy, giggly, overly cheery, and gay; he hated himself for all these things, yet he could not change a single thing about any of it. Sirius liked how Remus smelled, exactly like chocolate, it was if the boy went swimming In it, it made the black- haired, grey-eyed, boy want to lick him, making Sirius even more scared than when the strange things started to happen…
"well Mr. Black I happen to love books, and I thought it would be a good idea to read them a third time so I won't have any trouble with my work."
Remus smiled at him while simultaneously turning so red he could compete with an apple and win. Sirius stared at Remus with awe, while James and Lilly stared at them bewilderedly. Then all of a sudden a woman's voice rang out, effectively silencing the whole group of first year students.
"I am Professor Touerz, it is pronounced just like towers, so if I hear anyone saying two hours, or tours, or whatnot you will receive detention, now come along and follow me into the great hall here, where you will be sorted into your houses, come along, come along."
She led them into a rather large room, filled with older students, sitting at four large tables, then the professors in front of them and one short table, about twelve professors sat alongside the headmaster, who's name was Daverock Pregaman, She led them right up to the front about two yardsticks from the staff table, and about five feet in front of them was a stool with a decrepit looking hat sitting upon it, it was pointed like a witch's hat, and it had patches all over it.
"now as I call you name, kindly step up here, sit on the stool where I will lower this hat on your head, and you will be sorted into one of the fours houses, which are Gryfindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin."
She started to call of names then one stood out and all the first years gasped, as well as quite a few of the older students, that name belonged to a certain Sirius Orion Black.
"Sirius Black? It would do you well to come up now."
The woman said it, and as Sirius made his way nervously up to the stool, he nearly tripped twice, and only when he heard Remus say that it was okay did he manage to make it to the stool unharmed. And as the hat was lowered on his head it started to talk to him.
"ah, another Black, I usually put your kind in Slytherin, but you seem to be different, yes, yes, I see, I think you belong in GRYFINDOR!"
Sirius grinned hugely and Gryfindor clapped, whistled, and cheered, and Remus smiled at him, and Sirius managed to hug the amber-eyed boy as he went, quite surprising Remus. The witch called off some more names then…
"Lilly Evans?"
She walked up nervously glancing back at her newfound friends, who smiled at her reassuringly and made thumbs up.
"miss Evans, you show great promise here, powerful ,and smart indeed, I see a lot of bravery and courage, so you shall be in GRYFINDOR!"
She let out a breath of relief and joined Sirius at the table who smiled and hugged her.
"so far so good, now all we need is for Remus, and James to get in, and we are all set."
Sirius said to her after they hugged. She nodded, and watched as more names were called off and then her other new friend Remus was called.
"Remus Lupin!"
Remus shook as he walked up and sat down on the stool, but when he did the hat was silent he waited a little bit, then turned to Professor Touerz, but then the hat started to make noises as if it were deciding something.
"Hmn, I've never met a werewolf before, it's quite interesting seeing what's in your head my dear boy, horror, and abuse, and even rape, It's something I don't wish to see happening to someone as young as you, my poor child after dinner is through, a trip to the infirmary wouldn't be such a bad idea. Now as to where you are going I think it will be best to put you in… Gryfindor!"
Remus was shaking more after getting sorted, that he didn't realize he was half way sitting on Sirius left leg, till Sirius started to poke him in the ribs.
"oi , what is it Sirius?"
He said kind of annoyed.
"you're sitting on my leg mate…"
"Oh I'm so sorry, I didn't even notice."
Remus blushed once again, he was beginning to think he would always be red, with the amount of blushing he's been doing. James names was called and as soon as the hat touched his head it screamed "Gryfindor!" without hesitance. The rest of the night they ate and talked, as the Gryfindor head boy walked them up to the doors and told the students the passwords, then briefly explained that they were going upstairs to the left, and Lilly was going upstairs to the right, they said their goodnights, and the boys found that they shared a room, and the stayed up till four A.M talking.
