Chapter 4
The Sorting Hat
Harry (yet again) woke up in a daze and (yet again) murmur, "Where am I." His "bed" was moving around. He looks around and saw Ronald Weasley sitting on the boat with him. He let out a groan and said, "Come on, not you again! Where are we?"
Ron quickly answered, "We are riding these magical boats to Hogwarts. It is only for first years only!"
Harry sat up and looks ahead and saw Hermione sitting in a boat with a chubby-looking freckled boy. He also saw the (fat) Hagrid sitting in a boat all by himself and said to Ron, "Well this is peaceful!"
A few hours later, Hagrid woke up from his drunken sleep and said "What, Dumbledore don't hurt me, I didn't gave drugs to these first year morons. Please don't fire me!"
Ron looked at Harry and said, "What is he talking about?" Harry stood up and yelled at Hagrid, "Hagrid we are already there at the gates an hour ago, get up you fat drunk!" Hagrid stood up so fast his boat sink and the water hit his shins. "Right, first years this way please!" They quickly walked into the gates as Professor McGonagall stared at Hagrid coldly and said, "First years come with me!"
Professor McGonagall was muttering to herself the whole time saying, "Why does Albus have to trust Hagrid so much, I swear he is going to get one of you guys in trouble as we all know!" He did…
To make a long story short, the first years missed their first sorting hat's speech. But thankfully, they didn't miss the sorting hat. Professor McGonagall said, "Harry Potter." All around the Great Hall, there were whispers saying, "Harry Potter, the-"
"Yo, shut the heck up! I am about to get sorted into my house for the whole 7 years! I need to concentrate you dumb morons!" bellowed to the students. Everybody quieted down quickly. Harry went up to the high chair and Professor McGonagall put the hat on Harry's head, but Harry stood up and said, "Whoa! Lady, that hat has been on more 3000 students' head and I don't know if they have lice."
Professor McGonagall said, "Potter, I am surprised by your behavior, 50 house points from-"
But Harry was nearly finish, "Lady, I am not risking my head for this old hat that my friend, Ron Weasley, can talk. I mean, come on, a hat that can talk, I am still not convince that magic is even real!"
Professor Dumbledore stood up from his chair and pointed his wand at Harry and bellowed, "IMPEDIMENTA!" The jinx hit Harry so hard; he flew back a couple feet.
Professor McGonagall said, "Students, this spell is call Impedimenta, what is the spell use for. Anybody?"
Hermione's hand shot up and said, "This spell make the victim stop moving a couple of minutes!" "Correct! 10 points to Gryffindor!"
Hermione said, "Wow, I am in Gryffindor!" Professor McGonagall nodded and said to Ron Weasley, "You are also in Gryffindor! Congratulation to Ron and Hermione to be in Gryffindor!"
The whole Great Hall burst into clapping and cheers. Mostly from Gryffindor, though.
After a couple more seconds, Professor McGonagall finally put the hat on Harry's immobilize head. In Harry's mind the hat said, "Difficult, hard to say." Harry's mind muttered, "Not Gryffindor, not Gryffindor." "Not Gryffindor, you could be great you know! Well better-SLYTHERIN!" The hat boomed. All the Slytherin students screamed as many students shouted, "WE GOT POTTER, WE GOT POTTER! IN YOUR FACE GRYFFINDOR!"
Professor McGonagall stared at the hat and grabbed her wand and pointed at it, "What in Merlin's Beard are you playing at. This could jeopardize the whole story! Change it!"
The hat quickly said quietly, "Harry Potter is in Gryffindor!" The whole Great Hall burst into cheers and claps! The Weasley twins stood on the table and bellowed, "WE GOT POTTER, WE GOT POTTER! IN YOUR FACE SLYTHERIN!"
Harry muttered, "Darn it!" and went into Gryffindor's table.
After a couple hours with the Sorting (mostly, it was all the chubby-looking freckled kid, Neville Longbottom's fault) they finally started eating! As Harry grabbed a chicken wing, a head popped up. "AHHHHH!" scream Hermione, "What the devil is that thing." The thing said, "We are the ghost of Hogwarts guiding students to classroom and much more. Harry grabbed his plate and wham it at the ghost, "Don't scare me like that!" Ron Weasley quickly chuck a chicken wing at the Bloody Baron which hit Malfoy's face. Malfor screamed, "YOU ARE DEAD WEASLEY!"
The Weasley twins stood on the table and screamed, "FOOD FIGHT!"
Pumpkin Pasties, Treacle Tarts, Chocolate Frogs, Licorice Wands, Peppermint Toads, Cockroach Clusters, Cauldron Cakes, Acid Pops, Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans, Butterbeer, Pumpkin Juice, and more food and drinks flew all around the Great Hall. It was chaotic, everybody were screaming and yelling with joy and pleasure! Sadly, this food fight only lasted a minute!
Professor Dumbledore bellowed, "STOP! IF ONE OF YOU THROWS ONE MORE FOOD, YOU ARE DEAD!" Everybody quiet down and sat down. Professor Dumbledore raised his hand and shouted, "Go to your common room and NO DESSERTS!"
To make another long story short, our brave hero did not get hit in the head or stomach. He went peacefully to asleep in his own warm bed…
