I know I said I'd upload one everyday but I've already written so many that I just want to upload them all aha so here's the next chapter.

Chapter 4 – Sorting

The man with the lantern shouted for all the first years to follow him, he lead us to some small boats that all had lanterns hanging from them.

"Four to a boat please!" The man shouted as people started climbing in. Hiccup climbed in to the nearest boat and gestured me to follow. I leaped in after him, not realizing that I'd used the wind to help me jump over the large gap of water that now separated the boat and the ground. Luckily no one noticed as I frantically looked around for any sign that someone was watching. However, Hiccup must have felt the gust of wind that I had summoned and shivered slightly complaining about the cold.

"It's just the night chill." I told him, trying to cover up my own mistake. He nodded in agreement as two more people climbed in the boat with us. I looked behind me to see the beautiful girl from the train with another girl who had crazy red hair.

"Oh hi, its you! The boy with the white hair! Merida, this is the boy I told you about." She tapped the other girl frantically on the arm. It made me feel uncomfortable that people where already talking about me.

"Err, Hi." I said with a slight wave.

"Hi, I'm Merida." She had a very thick Scottish accent which matched her hair perfectly. "And I guess you've already met Rapunzel here." Rapunzel? I'd heard that name in Jamie's books. We used to sit for hours reading books about princesses and brave knights. Thinking about Jamie now made me realize how much I missed him already, he was the reason I was doing this. To protect him. I was lost in thought when Hiccup elbowed me in the arm.

"The girls asked you a question." He said with a slight smile and nodded towards them.

"I'm sorry, what did you say?" I had completely zoned out.

"I asked you what your name was." The red head said with a giggle.

"Oh, Jack, Jack Frost...and this is Hiccup." I said with a gesture to the freckled boy sitting beside me.

"Oh and he has this adorable little bird, where is she?" The blonde said with a very hopeful smile.

"You mean Babytooth?" As soon as I said her name she came fluttering out of my hood and was hovering in front of the girls.

"Awwww." Merida cooed, intrigued by the little fairy. "It's a bit of an odd pet for a boy to have, wouldn't ya think?" I had to come up with something, why did people keep asking questions about her?

"Oh well she's been in my family a long time, it wouldn't feel right without her." They all nodded and carried on playing with the little fairy until we finally got far enough down the lake to see the giant castle. We all sat in awe as we got closer, the historic building was dancing with lights, coming from every window. It was quite the view. I looked around the boat at the others and stopped at Rapunzel who's face had completely lit up. She looked absolutely stunning as the light bounced of her golden hair. Her green eyes, golden with pure joy. I couldn't help but stare until I heard someone shout "Okay, first years, welcome to Hogwarts!" I looked around as everyone started climbing out of there boats and on to the dock. I followed Hiccup and the girls up to big main entrance, as well as the rest of the year. It was huge inside, it was also very old, older than me by far. We followed the man that had led us from the boats up to a middle aged women that was waiting for us at the top of the stairs.

"Welcome, first years, I'm Professor Ibbotson. Behind these doors is the Great Hall where you will be sorted into your houses..." She carried on talking about houses and rules but I was too busy inspecting the place around me, it was ancient, plenty of dark places to hide. I was still looking around the room when I saw something on the wall move, when I looked again I could see that it was painting. When I looked at the other paintings, I could see that they where moving to. What kind of place was this. Something hit me in the arm, I looked to see it was Merida.

"Hey Jack, so which house do you wanna be in?" I hadn't heard a lot about the houses but I'd heard enough to know what they where.

"I'm not really bothered." I shrugged as Merida tutted at me.

"Well, I want to be in Gryffindor." I smiled half heartedly back at her whilst she started to discuss the topic with Rapunzel and Hiccup. I was too nervous to think about things like that, Pitch could be anywhere right now.

We followed the Professor through the huge doors and down the middle of the hall. There where 5 tables in total, four that went up the hall, each one belonging to a different house and one at the top of the hall where all the teachers sat. The roof was a night sky, dotted with candles floating under it, it was as though the roof just faded away. It was beautiful and I was so tempted to make it snow, Jamie always loved it when I made it snow in his room.

We where all lead through the crowded tables and to the front where there was a wooden stool holding a tatty old brown hat. It started to move before a tear appeared that acted as a mouth. A talking hat? Seriously?

"This is the sorting hat, it will determine which house you belong in. Each house will earn points for good behavior and grades, at the end of the year the house with the most points will be rewarded with the House Cup." The professor explained this as we made a line at the front. She pulled out a paper scroll and unraveled it.

"When your name is read out please walk to the front and put on the hat." Called the Professor again. Oh no, they'd know. The hat would know, it would know I wasn't a wizard. My whole purpose here would be ruined. Why didn't we think this through. The professor was already calling out names.

"Lupus, Alice!" The hat would ponder for a moment before shouting out the house.

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

The professor just kept going down the list.

"Cooper, Sam!"

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Martin, Lucy!"

"SLYTHERIN!"

"Haddock, Hiccup!"

"RAVENCLAW!"

"Mitchell, Skylar!"

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Gothel, Rapunzel!"

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

"Dunbroch, Merida!"

"GRYFFINDOR!"

They all went to there tables happy with their houses. There was a few more names before mine was called out.

"Frost, Jack!" Oh god, this was it. I slowly walked towards the hat and sat on the stool. I felt the tough fabric ruffle my hair as it was placed on my head. I closed my eyes ready for the hat to reveal who I really was but instead it started whispering to me.

"Its okay Jack, we know who you are, we'll try and help you on your quest. A few of the teachers know so you don't have to worry about magic." He whispered it so it was practically inaudible. I was so relieved to find out that North had arranged everything. I started to smile as the hat shouted my house.

"SLYTHERIN!"

I know there's a lot of discussion over Hiccups's and Rapunzel's houses but I think Hiccup is defiantly the smartest and Rapunzel is just so loving so that 's why I placed them in these houses. Yup, that's just my logic.
