'Daddy told me about all of the different houses, and said that he and the rest of his family had been in Gryffindor...no pressure...nope...' Kagome followed after the elder which who had introduced herself as Professor McGonagall upon their arrival, giving the first years a brief explanation of each house, as well as what to expect upon entering the great hall, which was what they were doing now.

Tightening her hand around Ginny's, she let the girl pull her along ever so slightly down the center of the room. She could feel several eyes on her. Not being able to conceal her curiosity, she searched out the eyes of the people looking at her, and she found them. At the far left table, beneath green and silver tapestries with a snake emblem on them, was Draco, Blaise, and Pansy who was giving her a cold look; then at another table, right next to the table at the far right, beneath blue and gray tapestries with an eagle emblem, was Luna who was giving her a smile in that Dreamy way she seemed to have down flawlessly. Then, at the table at the far right, beneath gold and red tapestries with a lion emblem on them, were four more faces staring at her, Neville, like Luna, gave a small smile while three others stared at her oddly, she knew them immediately.

"Ginny, is that Percy at the far end of the table over there, and the twins beside him, are they Fred and George?"

Ginny glanced to the table and smiled, turning to Kagome she nodded, "Yeah, Fred is on the left, George on the right, if you can't tell, you can always call them Forge and Gred."

The two laughed quietly at the small joke before turning their attention back to Professor McGonagall who had just placed an old hat down on a chair centered before the Staff's table.

Suddenly, the hat moved, and in her curiosity, Kagome moved a little closer, maneuvering herself through the crowd of first years so that she was right at the front. Ginny, of course, had no choice but to follow as she was still holding Kagome's hand.

Oh you may not think me pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.

You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.

There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.

You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindor's apart;

You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuff's are true
And unafraid of toil;

Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
if you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;

Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folks use any means
To achieve their ends.

So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!

It was quiet for a few seconds before the great hall broke into loud cheering and clapping.

"Good, good, good...now," McGonagall stepped up next to the sorting hat, "When I call your name, you will come up here, sit down, and be placed in your house. Melanie Arête!"

A girl with brown hair in a bob cut and grass green eyes, made her way through the crowd before stepping up to the stool, McGonagall picked up the hat and she sat down before it was placed upon the girls head.

Kagome and Ginny watched in wonder before the hat shouted, HUFFLEPUFF, and the girl took off the sorting hat before sitting down in her newly appointed house.

"Ginger Bailey!"

'Sounds like a seasoning...'

Another girl stepped up, only, with ginger red hair and brown eyes. She was cheery, you could tell by the large smile on her face.

RAVENCLAW, was called out before the student body.

"Honey Bailey!"

Ginny too had to turn and stare as another flavoring made their way up, and although the two girls were both expecting another girl, especially with the name 'Honey', in fact, it was a boy with honey brown hair and blue eyes.

SLYTHERIN

This continued for a while, before Kagome was called up under the name Higurashi.

"Why aren't you under Weasley?" Ginny asked, as she suddenly seemed to realize her last name wasn't the same as her's, despite her father being her brother.

Kagome smiled sadly, "I'll tell you after the welcome ceremony, just meet me at the door when we get ready to leave and I'll explain." She whispered softly before making her way to the stool.

McGonagall placed the hat on her head and Kagome frowned, not sure how this was really supposed to work, but she knew from experience by watching the others, that she just had to sit down and let the hat do it's thing.

'Hmm, another Weasley. Though, you are the first I've seen with Veela blood in you, and you're part Japanese. No freckles, or red hair, you don't have green eyes...'

'I'm aware of my looks, could you continue?'

'Touché...I see that you are cunning, in that, you are capable of deflecting problems directed at you...you are in fact quite the trouble maker, but unintentionally. You somehow always get dragged into trouble, you are also ambitious, aren't you...yes, you would do great in Slytherin...'

'An annoying little fact I sometimes wish wasn't true...'

'However, you are loyal, a trait thought very highly of by Hufflepuff's, and one who enjoys learning...very much a Ravenclaw trait...oh, but I see that you are only inclined to learning things that interest you, otherwise, you fall asleep or walk away from the subject...must not have been very popular with your previous teachers...huh."

'I had tutors, and out of five of them, I only know what two of them looked like.'

"Very representative to your personality...in Gryffindor, you would probably be best fit, where your classmates are brave and loyal, kind and caring...I believe, that despite your multitude of traits, you, like all other Weasley's, are best suited for one House and one House only.'

"GRYFFINDOR~!"

Kagome felt a flush of relief fill her, but even so, she couldn't help but glance to the table at the far left, where a pair of steal blue gray eyes met hers. She gave a small smile, but it quickly turned to a frown when he looked away. Looking to the Gryffindor table, she made her way to sit beside Fred and George. Both patted her on the shoulder as they congratulated her, but inside, she felt sick.

-x-x-x-

Ginny laughed next to Kagome as they ate with the other Gryffindor students. After telling Ginny to wait till the other Weasley's, and them were out of hearing range to tell of her relation to them, Ginny agreed and just ignored her brothers for the most part.

It was about an hour later that the two were walking up an abundance of steps, following none other than Percy, the house Prefect, as Ginny had called it.

"Gingersnap,"

Kagome watched in awe as a portrait opened to reveal an entrance. Entering, the now stood in a spacious Common Room with a warm and homey feeling, accents of red and gold, with a large fire place and a cozy sitting area and study area.

"Boy's dormitories are upstairs to the right, and girls, the same to your left. Curfew is at ten, no exceptions unless of course you have been called upon by a Professor, the Headmaster Dumbledore, have detention and/or a note from your Head of House. Get some sleep." Was the last thing Percy said as everyone began to disperse; turning to the youngest of the Weasley siblings, he placed a hand on Ginny's shoulder and gave a proud smile. "Stay out of trouble and your first year should be a pleasant one, Ginny."

"So far, it's turning out to be more than just pleasant. I want to introduce you to someone."

Kagome moved forward, "Hi there..."

"This is Kagome Higurashi, or, Kagome Weasley."

Fred and George smiled brightly before laughing out, "Poor Ginny's gone and lost her wits, Fred!"

"Too right she has George, what ever shall we tell Mum?"

"Ginny, a funny joke indeed, please head off to bed for some sleep. Miss. Higurashi, please do not precede these juvenile games."

Kagome frowned, watching Percy leave the House common room. She turned irritable to the twins who still stood cracking jokes on Ginny's sanity, or lack there of. "No," Kagome interjected, "Ginny is telling the truth. Charlie Weasley is my father, and Rai Higurashi is my mother. Since she passed away during childbirth, daddy let me keep my mother's last name; in a sense, it helps me feel closer to her."

Fred and George stared at Kagome for a moment, "Charlie's got a daughter..." The two looked at each other a grinned wildly, "We're Uncles!"

Within seconds of the exclamation, Kagome found the right arm of Fred over her shoulder, and the left arm of George over her shoulder.

"Well, George and I will have to be sure to show you all around Hogwarts,"

"We wouldn't want anything happening to our precious niece while we're around," Fred added.

Ginny pouted, "What about your precious sister?"

"You too, of course!"

Kagome laughed, "As fun as that all sounds, how about we make the tour sometime tomorrow?"

Ginny nodded, "We have classes early,"

"Right, right~!" The twins responded.

"We'll let the two of you totter off to bed then," Fred smiled.

George gave a light pat on the head to each girl, "Wouldn't want either of you losing your beauty sleep, aiy?"

Ginny glared at the two before pulling Kagome along. Kagome smiled and said a quick goodbye before she disappeared up the stairs and through the girls dormitory.

Kagome sighed, "Percy didn't believe you, and left before I could say anything...also," Kagome frowned, "What about that other brother of yours that you mentioned? Ronald?"

"Oh, Ron, it's strange, but I didn't see him the entire ride to Hogwarts, or at the Ceremony...or in the Common Room. The same for Harry."

"Who?"

"Harry, Harry Potter."

Kagome's eyes widened at the Wizarding worlds famous boy wonder's name. "What does Harry Potter have to do with anything?"

"Oh, he's a friend of the family. Ron especially."

"Ginny!"

Ginny turned to see a girl with bushy brown hair and brown eyes making her way over to her bed that she and Kagome sat on. Kagome stood up and made her way to her trunk while the two talked, or, more like, the brunette talked. She changed into her nightgown and robe, pulling out a brush, she ran it through her slightly tangled hair before pulling out her book and lying down on her bed. She didn't even open the book before the same brunette girl walked up to her own bed.

"Are you reading?"

"...no...I'm merely looking at the pictures. Their so bright and colorful, you see?" Kagome opened the book and showed the girl the vibrantly colored Welsh Dragon, looking the girl over in annoyance at her obvious know-it-all appearance. Her sarcasm was clearly laced in her voice, and the brunette was quick to catch on. Turning, she left.

Ginny moved to sit beside her and frowned, "Her name is Hermione Granger, in accordance with rather long and detailed introduction she just gave me, she's best friends with Ron and Harry...also, she likes to let people know her brilliance..."

Kagome laughed lightly, "You caught that too? She does come off some what as a snooty brain."

Ginny nodded in agreement, turning to lay down in her own bed, she whispered a soft goodnight to Kagome who turned to her book. Kagome responded with her own soft spoken goodnight before opening her book to the page she'd left off on and continuing the passage that she hadn't quite finished earlier. Her mind had other plans however. Despite her reading, her eyes leveling the page with a glare as she seemed to not be able to get rid of a pair of steal blue gray eyes that even stared back at her while she tried to read.

Knowing she wouldn't be able to get in any reading tonight, she closed her book and set it down by her lamp which she shut off before lying down. 'Why do I feel like tomorrow is going to be one of those day's that I usually try to sleep in on in order to avoid the day...'
