At Hogwarts, they were ushered in by Professor McGonagall, head of Gryffindor.

"The Sorting shall now begin." she told them. "The hat will put you in the house it thinks is best for you. The four houses are Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. You will join the matching table," and with that she walked to the teachers' table.

"Black, Stella!" she shouted, summoning the student in question to the Sorting Hat.

"Hufflepuff!" the hat shouted, and Stella ran to the Hufflepuff table.

"Dumbledore, Anaya!"

"Ravenclaw!"

"Hagrid, Ruby!"

"Hufflepuff!"

"Lestrange, Brenna!"

"Gryffindor!"

"Lupin, Regan!"

"Ravenclaw!"

"Pettigrew, Peruvia!"

"Slytherin!"

"Potter, Jenna!"

"Gryffindor!"

"Riddle, Vincent!"

"Slytherin!"

"Snape, Selena!"

"Ravenclaw!"

"Tonks, Natalia!"

"Ravenclaw!"

"Trelawney, Secilia!"

"Ravenclaw!"

There was a rush of chatter but Anaya hushed them, saying her dad was going to make a speech. Dumbledore made the nessary announcements and welcomed the first-years, then passed out schedules. At this, there was even more chatter.

"Bedtime!" he trilled after giving the students about 15 minutes of chatter, as it was about 9:45.
