Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter

Authors Note: Sorry for the late update, I had a crazy busy week! So this is the sorting chapter. I did my best on the song but it's kind of week in places so sorry about that. I couldn't think of anything better to say about Ravenclaw that also rimed so I do apologies for that as well. Anyway, enjoy the story!

Chapter 5

Every head in the great all turned to look at the first years. Roxy caught sight of her brother at the Gryffindor table. He was sitting next to James talking animatedly about something. Rose and Albus were also sitting a few feet down from them, and Rose gave her an encouraging smile. Roxy took a deep breath before turning to face the sorting hat, Professor Longbottom was now standing next to it and everyone else had turned their attention toward it. For a moment nothing happened, and then there was a split in the seam at the base of the hat as if there was a mouth, and it began to sing.

Gryffindor and Ravenclaw,

Hufflepuff and Slytherin,

I'm sure you all are wondering,

Which house you ought to be in.

Well, don't worry,

I'm sure I'll figure it out

But while we are all waiting,

I'll tell you what each is about.

In Gryffindor are the brave,

Those with chivalry and might,

In Ravenclaw they love to learn,

They're almost always right.

In Hufflepuff are the loyal,

The fair and the hardworking,

In Slytherin there's great ambition,

With wit and cleaver cunning

So put me one and we'll find out,

Just what you're all about,

I'll find out where you'll fit best,

And with joy your house will shout!

Then the rip in the hat closed and the Great Hall erupted into cheers. Once they had all quieted down Professor Longbottom stepped forward. He had a long piece of parchment in his hands. "When I call your name, please come up to front to be sorted," he said. And then read the first name "Abbot, Alexia," the hat wasn't on her head long before it yelled, "Hufflepuff!" and they were off.

Roxanne didn't pay much attention to the sorting unless a name she knew was called, and that was rather rare. About half way through, Scamander, Lorcan, was sorted into Ravenclaw. Roxanne looked up however when she heard the name Scamander again, this time followed by, Lysander. A thin boy with shoulder length, dirty blond hair walked up. He winked at what must have been his identical twin over at the Ravenclaw table before the hat fell over his eyes. Several minutes passed before the hat finally yelled, Hufflepuff, to the surprise of several people in the hall.

Roxy leaned over to Hugo and whispered, "Don't twins usually end up in the same house?"

"Not always," he whispered back, "dad once mentioned a set of twins in his year. One was in Gryffindor and one in Ravenclaw."

Roxy didn't pay much attention to the rest of the sorting until Professor Longbottom said, "Weasley, Hugo."

"Good luck," she whispered quickly, before Hugo walked up toward the hat. All eyes were on him, but they didn't have to wait long. The hat was only on his head for what seemed like a millisecond before it shouted "Gryffindor!" and the table at the end of the hall burst into cheers. An elated looking Hugo then walked off to the table and plopped down next to Rose.

Next professor Longbottom called, "Weasley, Louise." And Louise walked shakily up to the stool.

The hat took a little bit longer with him, but it still didn't take much time for it to pronounce him a Ravenclaw. Everyone cheered, Molly and Lucy the loudest. Louise smiled as he walked over to the Ravenclaw table and sat down in between the twins. Then the moment came. Longbottom called out, "Weasley, Roxanne." And she was walking up toward the hat. She just managed to ketch one last glance at Fred before if fell over her eyes.

"Well, Well, Well," said the hat, so that only she could hear, "lots of Weasleys this year. Hmm, this is a tricky one. You're brave, yes, cleaver, cunning, no doubt about that, but there's more to you than that, hmm, any preferences?"

She couldn't believe what she was about to say, but none the less it came out. "Whatever you think." she thought.

"Well then, I think you'd do best in," it stopped before shouting out to the hall, "Hufflepuff!"

There was silence in the hall for what could only have been a couple of seconds, but it felt like an eternity to Roxy. No one had seen this coming, and she wasn't sure that the hat was right. As the Hufflepuff table finally erupted into cheers she glanced at Fred. His face was in complete shock. She didn't blame him, I mean her, a Hufflepuff?
