Chapter Six
The Sorting Hat
or
My wand is bigger then yours
In our last installment:
Mrs. Fonagan announced that any further questions could be answered by herself or Hermione or reading The Pamphlet, at a later time. It was now time,she said, for the sorting.
This caused an uproar form the entire Great Hall, who had thought that the sorting was only for first years. Mrs. Fonagan explained that since they were sort of like first years, in the way they had no idea what was going on, they had to be sorted like them.
Everyone who had not already been sorted was beside themselves with joy. This was every fanpersons dream, a chance at the sorting hat!

Dezi started bouncing in her seat, she imagined herself walking proudly down the hall with Slytherin or Gryffindor colors holding her head high with house pride.
"All right everyone, settle down! We will call your names...Oh I'm sure most of you know how it works." Mrs Fonagan said with a smile then continued. "Although you will not be going to Diagon Alley to get your wands."She waited until the gasps and moans of disappointment stopped before continuing. "Mr. Ollivander was kind enough to send the majority of his stock here! So most of you won't have to go. Those who don't find a wand that suits them here will have to go to the store after the sorting, So when you are sorted please head off to your right to the back room to get your wands." She pointed to the door. The crowd grumbled but mutiny did not look imminent.
Harry set down a high backed chair and placed the old floppy wizard hat down on the seat. The Sorting Hat grinned at the crowd.
Everyone in the assembly held their breath in anticipation for The Sorting Hat's song. The Hat opened it's mouth that looked like a ripped seam and sang out in a loud clear voice.
"I've been sorting children since Hogwarts began, you'd think that after siting on so many children's heads I'd be going berserk.
Well...The only change is now I'm sorting young adults and so it seems I've gone completely out of my mind...and...
Gryffindor Ravenclaw heehee hoho
Hufflepuff and Slytherin are the houses
you will be sorted in, haha!
Just sit patently as we get organized for your unchangeable fate. Heehee!
Gryffindor has a history of bravery
Ravenclaw can always solve the mystery
Hufflepuff has had past casualties. and
Slytherin is well known for its infamy.
I've seen children come and I've seen children go and through the years I'll see many more, but now my song is done
so Dumbledore will soon be coming to take me away, haha, to the closet that I've been living in for these past long years!
Haha heehee hoho!"
The crowd hesitated then cheered, it was rather a strange song, but it was for them and they loved it. asked everyone to stand and form a line in front of the sorting hat and after the tables had been moved she told them which table would be for what house. She started calling names after the assembly settled down.
Mo was ecstatic, she was determined to be placed in Snape's House, Slytherin, not only because she looked good in green or because she was rather obsessed with Snape, but because she had taken numerous online quizzes that had told her she would be best suited to it (she had decided early on that the ones saying she should be in Gryffindor were the stereotypical kind made by little twelve year olds who desperately wanted to be Harry Potter and thought every one else did too). The internet had never lied to her before.
After the 'A's were called Neil started to fidget but Mo ignored him, he was on her 'People to Avoid' list now and would remain on it until he had redeemed himself. When Neil was sorted into Gryffindor Mo was rather pleased. All the more reason to avoid him. Mo's feet were starting to hurt by the time they got to the 'J's and she was getting impatient.
Finally the 'M's were being called and Mo started straightening her clothes and hair when her name was called and she walked up to the seat with a cocky grin and a wink at Harry who was standing at the ready to place The Sorting Hat on her The Hat was placed on Mo's head she was positively tingling with excitement and started chanting mentally 'put me in Slytherinslytherinslytherinslytherinsssssssssslyyyyyyyytheeeeeeeeeeerin!!!'
"Hmmm. You really want to be in Slytherin." The Hat understated into Mo's mind. "Yes! Put me there, K thanks." Mo bubbled back waiting patently for the hat to announce her house. "You'd be better suited to Gryffindor, you know." the hat answered. " LIAR YOU TELL LIIIIEEEESSS. ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT!! Put me in Slytherin or else." Mo hissed mentally. The Hat shuddered and said loudly to the crowd. "SLYTHERIN!!"
Mo hooted and squealed. "Yay infamy!!" Then sauntered through the side door with a wave to the giggling crowd. In the other room Mo saw piles and boxes full of wands everywhere and after a close inspection of a light colored wand she found that it had a description and core explanation attached on a little scroll. The other people who had been sorted were rooting through the wands with glee, the occasional shower of sparks showed when someone had found a wand. Mo grinned and started searching along with the rest.
Dezi was waiting patiently rocking back and forward on her heels. Her last name was Riezner so she knew she had a bit of a wait left as they had just finished the 'M's.
There was a commotion at the back of the line that was swiftly making its way towards Dezi. The commotion was a six foot tall women with sandy blond hair and blue eyes in Hogwarts school robes with the Blue and Bronze tie of the Ravenclaw house, the women spotted Dezi at the same moment Dezi saw her and they raced towards each other. Dezi was lifted off her feet and enveloped in a bone straining hug.
"ZOMG Dez your finally here! WTFBBQ why didn't you tell me you were coming?" The tall women asked. Dezi ignored the question and asked one of her own. "Miz!! I thought you died! What the Hell man?" Miz looked confused and answered. "WTF do you mean you thought I died!? I wrote you every week!" Dezi looked annoyed and yelled. "No you didn't!" It was Miz's turn to look annoyed as she asked. "What about the owls?" Dezi waved a hand." I called pest control. The bodies were everywhere." Miz looked at her aghast."But I visited on holidays..." Dezi thought about that for a minute. " Nuh uh...Lair."
The conversation went thusly for quite some time. Miz is Dezi's adopted younger sister, her powers had manifested a little earlier than Dezi but she was still considered a late bloomer because she was nineteen when Hermione had come for her.
Miz had to smack Dezi upside the head when her name was called because she had been yelling at Miz for not contacting her even though she had." LOL Dez they called you up!" Miz headed to the side room and waited by the door for Dezi, she had already gotten her wand but wanted to be with her sister when Dezi found hers.
Dezi sat on the chair and was only there for a second when The Hat called out. "Hufflepuff!!" Dezi pouted and went into the side room with Miz at her side. When the door closed behind her she started to complain loudly saying. " Dammit! Hufflepuff is the Special Ed class of Hogwarts! AND badgers are the angry retards of the forest!"
Miz laughed but said nothing, it was best not to anger her sister further. People who had been sorted into Hufflepuff looked annoyed and sent Dezi several glares.
"Oh go fuck yourselves I got sorted into it, I'm allowed to badmouth my own house...Bitches."
Mo heard this and peeked out from behind the small mountain of wands she was digging through to see who had spoken, she saw Miz helping Dezi by handing her wand after wand and Dezi had tossing the useless ones behind her,Mo chuckled when more then a few of them hit someone. Mo still watching the spectacle of the sisters Riezner, picked up a random wand then jumped and squealed when electric blue sparks burst from the end quite unexpectedly. She opened the little scroll attached and read :
' The wand that has chosen you is springy it's 11 inches even and is made out of Hazel – Hazel is quiet and versatile, giving subtle boosts to Charms and Transfiguration. It is another wand that denotes skill in Divination. The core is Dragon Heartstrings: Wands with Dragon Heartstrings cores are excellent for hexes, or for dueling, not to mention fire magic. They tend to choose a witch or wizard who is strong not only physically, but also emotionally, and who usually has very strong opinions on things, though they often tend to be strong willed and thickheaded as well.'
Mo made a pleased sound and swished her new wand around a bit before noticing Dezi had also found a wand that was shooting out yellow sparks, Mo meandered over and said." My wand is bigger then yours."
Dezi glared at Mo but ignored her, Mo not to be ignored snatched the scroll out of Dezi's hand and quickly read:
'The wand that has chosen you is swishy its 7inches and is made out of Pine: A quiet wood, not powerful, not weak. It is a softwood, and thus has a bit more yield, making it more inclined to a quick-learning but less powerful wand. It is, however, excellent for Divination. The core is Phoenix Feather: The Phoenix Feather comes from the tail feathers of a Phoenix, and is especially good with fire or defensive magic, as well as healing magic. This may be due largely to the healing properties Phoenixes have.'
"Ohhh that's a good wand! Even if it is a bit on the small side...but hey! It's not the size that matters,right? It's how you use it. Eh eh?" She nudged Dezi and wiggled her eyebrows at Miz who was watching the scene with fear. No one lived to tell the tale after snatching something out of Dezi's hands.
Dezi nodded and accepted the scroll back then looked a little startled when Mo handed Dezi her scroll. Mo was beaming with pride and started berating Miz with questions about Her wand which was Cedar, Miz recited what her scroll had said.
"Quote: Cedar is a rather docile wand wood with particular skill in protective spells. Cedar wand wielders often become potent Occlumens. And the Core Unicorn Hair is best for those with pure intentions, and is almost never wielded by someone intending to use their wand for evil purposes. Especially good for love, defense and healing magic.
End Quote."
Mo was impressed and then asked about school life when she found out Miz had been enrolled for a year.
After Dezi hand finished reading Mo's scroll she handed back the scroll and listened for a moment to Miz's descriptions of the typical school day and learned that there are eight classes in a day: Transfiguration, Potions, Charms, History of Magic, Divination (or Care of magical creations if you preferred), Herbology, Practical Application (of what they learned for day to day life) and Current Wizarding Events. An hour at each class with breaks for Lunch and free time. A ten hour day starting with the first class at eight A.M. with the first class and ending at six P.M with the last.
Dezi let out a groan. " Man, this is going to be like High school all over again!" Mo chuckled and nodded."Only Magical! This is going to be awesome! Imma soo excited!!" She squealed and glomped Dezi quite suddenly. " What House did you get sorted in?" Mo asked after she released Dezi even though she already knew, she didn't want the sisters to know she'd been eavesdropping. "Hufflepuff." Dezi muttered. "Miz is in Ravenclaw." Miz said with a raised hand. Mo grinned up at Miz. "Awesome! I'm in Slytherin! It's super sweet, I am uber pleased yo!"
Miz smiled and nodded then gave Mo a funny look when she started talking to Dezi whom was worrying her because she hadn't said much after she had found her wand. "You are my new pet badger Dezi! Your so tiny and adorable! And we are gonna be friends fooooreeeever and ever and ever and ever! AND Miz is my pet eagle,shes so pretty, and we are gonna hang out all the time and there is nothing you can do about it! Thus spake the Mo and it shall come to pass as she bespoke it and it was goooood. So good!" Mo had grabbed Miz and Dezi by the hands and was bouncing up and down.
Miz looked confused, this was not normal behavior for Slytherins or anyone over the age of nine for that matter. This does not bode well for us, were Miz's thoughts before the door opened and Mrs. Fonagan walked in and began handing out personalized maps to their separate rooms. She told them that robes and ties with their house colors had already been sent to their rooms and that classes would begin the next day. She said, when asked by Dezi, that they had separate rooms because they were over the age of the children in the dorms and the headmaster and teachers decided that because they are adults they should have the same privileges as the Head Boys and Girls.
Everyone was ecstatic.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ENDOFCHAPTER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now that classes are about to start you will be seeing more canon characters...finally
This chapter took a bit longer to finish because I decided to research wands instead of just guessing, also the Sorting song gave me quite a bit of trouble. but because it took so much effort its a little longer then normal..I think.
The wand research was a lot of fun, I found an awesome quiz that tells you what your wand would be that Miz, Dez and I all took. It dosent give any explanation about the wand cores (I had to go else where for those) but the wood ones are very good.
here is the site address just push the swirly at the bottom to continue.
.
Miz and Dezi are real friends of mine, they demanded to be in the story when I told them about it, I think I kept their personalitys true to them in real life (except Miz isnt adpoted)...I dunno if they like it, they havent read this chapter yet XD
