A/N so most of last chapter was out of the book, but this chapter will be mostly my work! Please don't judge my spelling or grammar as I'm only year 9 at school and 13 in age. But I have been told that I'm very creative and my writing style is very mature for my age.
Guest: glad that you like the idea! But as I stated in the Authors note, please don't judge my grammar and spelling. Thank you for saying the story is fantastic! You get cookie!
Guest: the story isn't that good. But I'm proud of it! Thanks for the good luck! XD
Guest: of course Lupin isn't unfashionable! And Poland is always hilarious!
Hetalia perspective
The door swung open, a tall witch in green robes stood there. She had a stern look on her face.
"The firs' years an' transfers Professor McGonagall." The giant said.
"Thank you Hagrid. I will take them from here."
She pulled the door wide. The Entrance Hall was big enough to fit Prussia's ego. The stone walls were lit with torches, the ceiling was too high to see, and a marble staircase facing them led to the higher floors.
They followed McGonagall across the flagged stone floor. Cornwall could hear hundreds of excited voices from a doorway to the right, everyone else must already be in the hall. Professor McGonagall guided them into a small chamber near the hall. They crowded in.
"Welcome to Hogwarts." Announced McGonagall. "The start of term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted. The Sorting is very important because, while you are here, your house will be your family within Hogwarts. You will have classes with your house, sleep in your house dorm and spend free time in your house common room.
The houses are Griffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin. Each house has its own history and each has produced famous witches and wizards. While here, your triumphs will earn house points, while any rule breaking will lose points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points will be awarded House Cup. I hope each of you will be an honour to whichever house you're placed in."
Ron Weasley perspective
Ron waited for Harry and Hermione at the Griffindor table. Finally, the first years were ready to be sorted. But before they were, Dumbledore had an announcement.
"This year students, Hogwarts has been chosen to partake in an exchange student program. Seven wizarding children from around the world have come to join the third years as honorary students at Hogwarts. These seven children will be sorted first."He explained. "Let the sorting begin!"
Professor Flitwick, as McGonagall was busy, placed the sorting hat on the stool. When the old hat was sitting comfortably, it began to sing.
'Oh you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
if you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folks use any means
To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!'
The hall erupted into applause. Professor Flitwick picked up a scroll and started reading out names.
"Beillschimdt, Gilbert." Out came an albino thirteen year old.
"Vhat?! You vant me, ze awesome Gilbert to vear zat hat? No vay!" He protested in a German accent.
"Gilbert! You vill do vhat you are told or no more beer!" A blonde German walked up and slapped the back of Gilbert's head.
"Fine, I'll do it..." Gilbert sat down on the stool and let the hat be placed on his head.
Ze awesome Prussia perspective
"Hmmm. Your different you are, Prussia." The hat said.
"You know?" Asked Prussia.
"Of course I do, you'd think I'd recognise a country when I see one!" The hat boasted.
"You von't tell vill you?" Prussia gulped.
"Of course not! What kind of hat do you think I am! Everything I've ever found out about a student, stays with me." Answered the hat. "Now... You want to be the best, but you're afraid of everyone forgetting you. You're loyal to your brother, but you're also a bit of a jerk-"
"Hey! Did Hungary tell you zat?!" Prussia growled.
"If you'd let me finish. You're arrogant at times, but your a good ally to have... It must be..."
Ron Weasley perspective
"SLYTHERIN!" The house shouted. Gilbert got up and moved towards the cheering Slytherin table.
"Beillschimdt, Ludwig." The blond German who had slapped Gilbert walked up to the hat.
"SLYTHERIN!" Ludwig walked towards the Slytherin table.
"Jones, Alfred F." A blond ran towards the hat.
"I'll do it because I'm the hero!" He shouted, very loudly. He put the hat on his head.
"GRIFFINDOR!" Ron and the other Griffindors cheered. Alfred made his way over to the Griffindor table.
"Kirkland, Jenna." Jenna made her way to the hat. The hat was placed on her head. After a few minutes the hat shouted.
"GRIFFINDOR!" Griffindor table erupted with applause once more.
"Kirkland, Peter." Peter let the hat be placed on his head.
Sealand perspective
"Hmmm, another one. Hello Sealand." The hat greeted.
"You know?" Asked Sealand. "I thought-"
"I'm the sorting hat, I can look into to your mind, stuff like that." Explained the hat. "And from what I can see... You strive to prove yourself and your great at being sneaky... You must be... SLYTHERIN!"
Sealand took the sorting hat off and moved over to the Slytherin table, who were applauding. He sat down next to Prussia and Germany.
"Hi guys." Sealand said. "So where do you think the others will be placed?"
"Vell, Ita- Feliciano vill probably go in Hufflepuff, and I think zat Lovino vill be in Hufflepuff too." Germany explained.
"Ja, I'm pretty sure zat Birdie vill be in zat house too. I'm pretty sure zat Feliks vill be in our house." Prussia answered. "Vhen vill ze feast begin? I'm hungry."
(As you probably don't want to read all the sorting, I'll just skip that part and put the list here, thus ending the chapter.)
Romano ~ Hufflepuff
Italy ~ Hufflepuff
Sealand ~ Slytherin
America ~ GRIFFINDOR!
Canada ~ Ravenclaw
Prussia ~ Slytherin
Germany ~ Slytherin
Lithuania ~ Ravenclaw
Poland ~ Slytherin
Cornwall ~ Griffindor
(There, now for the end paragraph.)
Ron Weasley perspective
Once all the first years and exchange students had been sorted, Professor Dumbledore started his yearly welcome.
"Students, new and old, welcome to Hogwarts! I hope you thoroughly enjoy this year at school and do your house proud. I would like to welcome two new professors to the staff. Professor Lupin will be taking over the job of teaching defence against the dark arts, and Professor Kirkland will be taking over history of magic whilst Professor Binns takes a holiday." There was an applause for both professors, but there was an overly loud whoop from an American at Griffindor table.
"Whoo! Go Iggy!" Alfred yelled. Professor Kirkland... Facepalmed. Dumbledore continued his speech.
"Mr Filch would like to remind all students that explosives and practical jokes are banned. With that said; EAT!"
The food floated out onto the tables, Jenna, who was sitting next to Ron, pulled a face, but the boy next to her shouted at the top of his voice: "THIS IS BRITISH FOOD!" This realisation dawned the other exchange students, and a ruckus began.
"Ve~ I can't eat this! Where's the pasta?!"
"Zat English oaf Kirkland nearly kielled ze awesome me with his cooking!"
"It vasn't zat bad Gilbert!"
"I'm not letting my stupido frattello touch this food!"
"Maple..."
"This is, like, totally inedible."
"Wait... The food IS edible guys!" Jenna announced. "May not be as good as mussels back home, but it's edible!"
A/N yeah, I'm not gonna update daily anymore, just weekly. As I have other fanfics, and this year I choose my options for school and I have to do tests and that crap. Also I missed most of school last year so I've gotta catch up... Etc. in conclusion this will be updated weekly.
