Chapter 9: The Sorting and the Dormitory
The Train stops at the Hogwarts Station. Yota, Lily, Hugo, and Tamari walked out and saw a giant. Yota and Tamari were scared; they have never seen a man that is 8 feet tall.
"Hi, Hagrid." said Hugo.
"Hello, Hugo and Lily. Who's your friends?" said Hagrid.
"Hagrid, this Yota Matsumoto and this is Tamari Ono.", said lily.
"Well, Matsumoto. I've read the papers. It's sad to hear about your father. I never been so sad, since James and Lily Potter died. Well I mean Harry's parents." said Hagrid.
"You knew about my father?" said Yota surprised.
"Yes, very well. He was a good wizard; he fought at the final battle. Which was here at Hogwarts; Even Voldemort knew your father, he hated him. Wanted him dead, but he was most concentrating on Harry too much." answered Hagrid.
"Wow, now I see why Dad wants Mom to head to Tokyo. Can you tell me more about my father sometime this week, Hagrid?"
"Sure, I'll let you know." Hagrid. Then he shouted, "First years, this way. Follow me."
They followed Hagrid to the Black Lake of Hogwarts. Where a large dock with about 25 boats that could hold 4 people each. When all the boats were filled, the boats move on their own power, which was magic. When Hogwarts was in sight of boats passenger's or first years, came the "aaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwww". Yato was feeling like he could live here forever, he was surprised to see a castle. He couldn't wait to see what was inside.
The fleet of boats stopped at the Hogwarts Docks, all the First years stepped out of the boats and Follow Hagrid.
"Dad told me, they had a small boat house for the boats. But they decided to make improvements." said Lily.
"Ok.", said Yota.
When they passed a large bridge, a man with a red coat and red hat was waiting for them at entrance of the Great Hall and said," thanks Hagrid; I'll take it from here."
"No problem, Neville." said Hagrid, as he left.
Then Neville turned to the First years and said," Welcome to Hogwarts, I am Professor Longbottom. Deputy Headmaster, Your Herbology Teacher, and Head of Gryffindor house. Now Hogwarts has 4 houses, they are: Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Once you're sorted, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you points, any rule breaking and you will lose points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points wins the House Cup. Now follow me to the sorting ceremony."
They followed Neville into the Great Hall. Yota and Tamari were shocked to see the sealing look like the sky.
"Now, when I call your names, you will come forward, and the sorting hat will place you in your houses. Roger, Henry." said Neville.
Students went by and got sorting, Yota waited for his name to be called. When heard, "Matsumoto, Yato ", by Neville. Yota walked up to the chair and sat down, and then Neville placed the sorting hat on Yota's head.
"Hard, very hard to place. You're as hard to place as Harry Potter. You have Courage, Loyal, brains, and a thirst to prove yourself. But the question is where to put you?" said the Hat.
"Gryffindor please." said Yota.
"Very well, but remember this. You would have done well in Slytherin, Gryffindor." said the hat.
Yota headed for the Gryffindor table. He watches Tamari, lily, and Hugo get sorted into Gryffindor. They were surprised to see all 4 of them to be sorted into Gryffindor. After everyone was sorted, a women tapped on the a glass to get everyone's attention
"Welcome to Hogwarts, I am Professor McGonagall, Headmistress of Hogwarts, I have a few announcements. First years please note that the Dark Forest is forbidden, no magic is to be used between the classes and the corridors. Also I like to welcome our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Seki and his Colleague . ", said the woman. Then Seki and Sasaki got some claps from the Students.
"I seen them before, I just can't remember. Oh, it will come eventually.", thought Yota.
"Now, let the feast begin.", said McGonagall,
Then food appeared on the House table's, Yota was surprised and began eating.
After about an hour, everyone headed to they're dormitory's and went to sleep.
