I don't own anything, wish I did.
Chapter Three: The Sorting Hat
The boat ride was uneventful untill Hagrid shouted for them to duck down, Peter Pettigrew looked up, got caught by a curtain of plants, and fell into the lake. They had to fish him out and then Hagrid let Peter borow his coat because he was shaking, it was like Dennis Creevey all over again. After the ride Hagrid nocked on the doors to Hogwarts and Professor McGonagall opend the wide double doors. "Thank you for bringing the first years Hagrid." Minnie said. She told us to follow her into the foyer and stoped us Minnie said "Hogwarts has four houses, each has it's own noble history. The people in your house will be like your family while you're here. Triumphs will get you points while trouble will take away points. Now I'm going to make sure they are ready for you, smarten yourselfs up if you please." Minnie said while looking around the room landing on James and Emma's messed up hair. Minnie seemed to say the same speach every year or almost the same one. Minnie was only gone for a few seconds before several people screamed, Emma turned around and smiled when she saw the ghosts. "We really should give him another chance." you could hear the Fat Friar say, then Sir Nick said "Yes but we have given him more than enough chances. Look first years." As Nick said that all the ghost looked down, and started talking at once, about which house you should want to be in, it was kind of funny. JUst then Minnie walked into the hall looked at te ghosts, shoot his head, and gustured for them to follow her.
The grate hall was just as beautiful as Emma had remembered it, for everyone eles it was just as breath taking as they imagined it would be. James, Sirius, and Mooney were all looking around wide eyed then they fell on Professor Minnie who was at the end of the hall with the sorting hat and list of names. "Line up please, when I call your name come sit on the stool." The Hat started singing;
"War is brewing and only united we can stand,
together we are strong, seprate we will fall. Cunning Slytherin's you must know that Salazar was brave like the lions. Brave Gryffindor's you must know that Godric was curious like the egals.
Witty Raveclaws you should know that Rowean was loyal like the bagers. loyal Hufflepuffs you should know that Helga was cunning like the snakes.
The each valued diffrent things but that's not all they were. The made me to see which one of them you were most like.
You may find a lion in a snakes skin or a lion in a bager hide.
sometimes people are more than meets the eye.
When the sotring hat quit sinnging and everyone had clapped Minnie looked down at the scrole and said "Black, Sirius" Sirius looked over at Emma and she nodded her head, Sirius then walked up to the sorting hat and Minnie lowered the hat onto his head. You could see the Slytherins looking smug at the though of another Black in their house.
"Hello not like your family are you. Brave, daring, loyal, and rather reckless you are smart yes but you don't want to spend all day studying so, The only place for you is,"
The sorting hat shouted out "Gryffindor." Everybody in every house looked shcoked, the Slytherins looked like they lost their favorite puppy, the Gryffindors looked shocked but happy that they had taken one from Slytherin, and everyone else looked surprised. Sirius stood up from the stool and walked over to the red and gold table.
Minnie stod up looking slightly ssurprised that she would have a Black in her house. She then called out, "Evans, Lily" Emma's mother looke dover at Snape and then started walking up to he stall and sat down. Minnie sat the hat on Lily's head.
"Hello Ms. Evans I am the sorting hat, you have two house choices" Lily trembled slightly and she thought 'What are they?'
"You can be sorted into Ravenclaw because you are intellegent and a hard worker or Gryffindor for your curage and bravery. Which will it be Ms. Evans."
'Gryffindor please.'
The sorting had shouted out "Gryffindor" Lily hoped down from the stool and looked over at Snape and smiled then when to join Sirius at the red and gold table. Minnie looked down , smiled and called "Granger, Emma" Minnie had gotten rather fond of little Emma. Emma walked you and sat down on the stool and next thing she knew the hat was covering her eyes.
"Hello nice of you to join me again. Now should you go to the lions or the snakes? You are brave like the lions but cunning like the snakes but I see you have friends in the house of the lions so it better be,"
The hat shouted "Gryffindor." Emma smiled and walked over to sit by Sirius, he smiled at her and Lily waved.
The hat called several more people including a Mark Johnson who went to Hufflepuff and Luna's dad their was also "Longbottom, Frank". Then Minnie called out " Lupin, Remus" Remus walked up and the hat was placed on his head.
"Ravenclaw or Gryffindor but because of your full moon problem you will find your friends with the brave and loyal. It better be, Gryffindor!" the hat shouted out and Remus walked over to join his fellow Gryffindors. Their were some ther people who she didn't pay attention to but she did hear a "Nott,Jason" and "Overstreet,Emily" Then was "Peter, Pettigrew" he walked you shaking slightly and the hat was put on his head.
"Let me see not Slytherin not Ravenclaw and not Gryffindore so that leaves, Hufflepuff!" Peter walked over to the Hufflepuff table to sit with his friend from the train Mark Johnson. than was "Potter, James" came up he walked up with arrogantly to cover his nerves. Professor Minnie put the hat on James head.
" I see you are much like young Sirius Black Inteligent but no love to study, but brave,loyal, and daring. The house for you is, Gryffindor. A few other names were called and the "Snape, Severus" was called, it was odd watching a younger Minnie out the sorting hat on a way younger Snape, the meanist, evilest, good guy.
"Mr. Snape I believe Slytherin will teach you skills that you will one day need so it must be, Slytherin!" surprise surprise. Then their was a "Quarton,Grace" who was also a Hufflepuff the their was "Prewit, Alice" who had to be Nevills mom who was a Gryffindor. After the sorting Dumbledore gave his oppeing speach and they ate to much and then was sent to their dorms. Emma went up with the girls saying goodbye to the guys, it seemed that Lily, Alice, and Some girl that looked like Lavender. They said to each other and she learned the other girl's name, Violet, then went to bed.
A/N: That's the end of chapter three. The reason Peter is in Hufflepuff is because he has friends in that house. I think the only reason he went to Gryffindor is because he had friends there. It later became they were powerful so he stayed with the group. Peter will be a good guy in this, I think he started out good but the war corupted him and he wanted to be near people with power. I also think the Hufflepuffs will teach him loyalty to friends. Once again if anyone wants to Beta this I'd love it.
