Alex beamed. She stepped away from the hat and ran into the crowd of cheering Gryffindors. She took a place next to Harry and smiled at him. "Look's like I am stuck with you, eh?"

"I guess so." Harry grinned back at her. His thoughts praising the hat's intuition.

After a long ten minutes, and many students going into the House of Hufflepuff. The list finally got to the W's.

"Weasley, Ron." The professor called. Harry looked around and saw all the bright gingers looking at Ron in anticipation. Ron walked nervously up to the raised platform where the hat was.

Ron's POV

I squirmed in the chair, if I wasn't in Gryffindor, I wouldn't be a Weasley. All the Weasley's got into Gryffindor, it was kind of like a Family Tradition. The hat was placed on my head, I gulped nervously.

"So, another Weasley, eh?" The hat said.

"Y-y-yes." I stuttered.

"You could go right into to Hufflepuff, you would fit right in. But there is something in there. Your loyal, you would never dream of deserting your friends in times of need. And bravery, maybe not obvious to most, but when it really counts you will use the courage that is deep, deep inside of you. So best to be GRYFFINDOR!"

I got up and ran into the clapping Gryffindors. I had done it, I had got it. I sat down next to Harry and Alex, beaming. A radiant smile, was plastered on my freckled face. My brother's Fred, and George patted me on the back. Percy smiled at me.

Omniscient view

Harry smiled at Ron. Alex looked rather annoyed.

"Nice to see you here." Alex said sarcastically.

Ron rolled his eyes and smiled back at Harry and Percy. Harry leaned in and whispered "Where's the feast?"

Fred who has overheard looked at Harry and smiled, "Just wait."

Harry could not wait, he was hungry. He looked down at his gold plate, the pumpkin pasties seemed ages ago. Suddenly the crowd muted. Harry looked up and saw the Headmaster stand up from his spot at the table.

Professor Dumbledore came up to the podium and smiled at the large crowd of adolescents. "Welcome!" He called from the podium. "Welcome, to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are, Nitwit, Blubber, Oddment and Tweak! Thank you." Dumbledore sat down.

Alex laughed, she noticed everyone was clapping and cheering. She looked at Percy and asked "Is he mad?"

Percy looked at her, "He is the greatest wizard ever, but yes I suppose he is a bit off his rocker. Potatoes, Harry?"

Harry looked at him in confusion. But then he looked around and there was food everywhere. Potatoes, roast chicken, duck, spotted dick ( author's note don't laugh it actually is a British dish that J.K. Rowling uses in the novel). So many delicacies to choose from.

Harry listened to everyone's story. A boy called Seamus told him that he is a halfblood, his mother was a witch and his father a muggle. She never told him until after their wedding, and it was a nasty shock for him. But in Seamus' thick Irish accent it sounded like sock. Another boy, Neville, said that his grandmother, who was a witch, raised him and thought he was a squib (whatever that meant). Before Harry knew it, it was time to go upstairs into the common room.
