Thanks you guys for reviewing. I'm glad you like it. Oh and just to make sure there's less confusion this story is set during book 5.thanks again. And now for chapter 5. I do not own Harry Potter.
Chapter 5 Sorting Hat Situations
Soon the carriages came to a halt and they were pushed forward and were soon in the warmth of the Entrance Hall.
"You realise that if they've found out that we've sneaked in here they are going to kill us" whispered Billie.
They walked slowly into the Great Hall and quietly sat at the Gryffindor table. Albus Dumbledore slowly stood. "Welcome to another year at Hogwarts and I have an important announcement to make". The students began to whisper in excitement. "This year Hogwarts is holding a Transfer Program and I would like to welcome the students from the St Andrews Academy from America". Everyone including the 6 friends looked around for these so called students. "They will now be sorted" finished Dumbledore.
Professor McGonagall stepped forward and unrolled a piece of parchment.
"Campbell Alexia"
Alexia looked up. The others gave her an encouraging look and she slowly began to walk towards the hat that was now sitting on the stool. Slowly sitting down she felt the hat being placed on her head. It was at this point that she wished that Emily and Lu had told her what happened in the Harry Potter books.
"Hello Ms Campbell" said a voice.
Alexia shrieked and fell off the stool. Embarrassed Alexia stood up brushed herself off and sat back down. "Well that wasn't the reaction I was expecting" continued the hat.
"Wow a talking hat that's not something you see everyday" thought Alexia.
"Well Ms Campbell where should I put you" the hat pondered.
"I don't really care where you put me" said Alexia
"Hmm let me see, loyal, now that's a Hufflepuff trait but you prefer not to do hard work. Maybe Ravenclaw. Maybe not. Ah ha there we go, you will be….SLYTHERIN".
A cheer went up from the green table as Alexia joined them.
"Glazier Louise" read Professor McGonagall.
Lu gulped and stepped forward and put on the hat.
"Ah Ms Glazier how are you today and were should I put you".
"Not Hufflepuff, not Hufflepuff" begged Lu.
"Not Hufflepuff ay" the hat said "Well I see where you belong … SLYTHERIN."
More cheers from the green clad table.
"Lankton Cassy"
"Ahhh Ms Lankton you are very easy to place, extremely intelligent and doesn't mind the work … RAVENCLAW".
"Martins Billie"
Billie strolled nervously to the hat and sat down.
"Hello Ms Martins, ah you like your friend are easy to place as you are a most loyal friend … HUFFLEPUFF"
More Cheers.
"Mon Lewis"
"Ah the only boy of this brigade" said the hat
"Don't rub it in" moaned Lewis.
"Well lets gets started, firstly your loyal, but not cunning or brave. So you should be ….. HUFFLEPUFF"
The yellow table cheered again.
"And Finally Remmings Emily" called Professor McGonagall
"Well here's the last of the group, lets see what's going on in your head. Hmm not one for heroics, but cunning and intelligent. But where should I put you.
"Totally up to you I'm happy where ever" thought Emily
"Ah well in that case … RAVENCLAW" finished the hat
There were more cheers from the blue table and Emily grinned as she sat next to Cassy and everyone watched as the first years were sorted. Once that was finished Dumbledore stood again.
"I would like to say to you all that the forbidden forest is still forbidden and I would like to welcome our new Defence against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Umbridge. There was scattered applause and many whispers as the short teacher stood and then sat down. Dumbledore the finished with some wise words of "Snap, Crackle and Pop" and then the feast began.
At the Hufflepuff table, Billie had loaded her plate and had started to chat to the girl next to her.
"I'm Hannah Abbot you must be Billie" said Hannah warmly.
"Yep that's me" smiled Billie.
She suddenly felt someone poking her. She turned to face Lewis.
"What" she whispered.
"These people are freaking me out" Lewis whispered back.
"Calm down and just talk to the cute looking boy next to you" said Billie.
"CUTE, you think he's cute" responded Lewis loudly.
"Sssshhhhh" hissed Billie.
"Fine, I'll talk to the cute boy" moaned Lewis sarcastically.
Lewis turned to face the boy.
"Hi" said the boy cheerfully.
"Hi" said Lewis depressively.
"What's up with you" queried the boy
"Where do I begin" sighed Lewis.
"Well anyway I'm Ernie Macmillan" said the boy
"And I'm Lewis Mon" said Lewis.
The two boys continued to talk and help themselves to the food.
Over at the Slytherin table Lu had a seat next to Pansy. The girls grabbed the Pumpkin juice jugs and filled them up as they talked.
"So, what do you think of Hogwarts so far" asked Pansy.
"It's great, but how the heck did the old dude know we were coming" replied Lu.
Lu's question was never answered as Alexia looked up the table.
"Hey they're handing out timetables" she exclaimed.
The others watched as one by one the students received there timetables. Quickly snatching it up Lu stared down.
"Hey we've got classes as just us 6" she exclaimed.
"We have?" said Alexia as she swiped up her timetable. "That's brilliant"
"I wonder if the others know" asked Lu.
Back at the Ravenclaw table Emily and Cassy had also received there timetables.
"I don't get it, why is it just us 6" asked Emily.
"Probably because we don't know a thing about magic" stated Cassy.
"Ah that explains things" said Emily.
They continued to talk until Dumbledore stood. "I would like to see our transfer students after the feast in my office".
"Uh-Oh" whispered Cassy.
After the feast the 6 followed Dumbledore and the teachers to the statue that was the entrance to Dumbledore's office
"M+M's" said Dumbledore and the stairs appeared.
Once the door had closed and everyone was seated, Albus turned to the 6.
"So would you mind telling us all how you came to be here" he asked.
"We aren't sure ourselves" replied Lu
"Hm Hm" the interruption announced the arrival of Umbridge.
"Terrific" whispered Emily to Alexia "Just what we need".
"Albus you cannot allow these brats to attend Hogwarts" Umbridge stated.
"Who the heck is she calling brats" whispered Lu to Emily who nodded in agreement.
"Why not my dear Dolores" Albus queried
"None of these brats were accepted here" Umbridge stated.
"Ah but you see Dolores they were accepted, in fact I have there letters right here" said Albus.
"You... You do" spluttered Umbridge
"He does?" asked Billie.
"And now they will be escorted to their respected houses by their heads of houses" finished Albus.
And they all left for bed leaving behind a spluttering Umbridge.
