Scorpius leaned back, rocking his chair slightly, while still staring at the sorting hat. The name 'Potter Albus' had just been called, and despite his casual demeanor Scorpius was fixed. All things considered, Albus's sorting didn't take long. When the sorting hat shouted "GRYFFINDOR!" Scorpius wasn't really surprised, though he was by no means pleased. Rose's word echoed in his head 'We'll meet up with you know matter what house you're in'. He hoped they weren't empty. At least I'm not in not slyther-. Scorpius shook his head, at least I'm not Gryffindor.

" Quirrel Ianna"

"RAVENCLAW!"

Scorpius let his chair slide back into place, he looked around at the approaching figure, a thin brown haired youth. She was short, but oddly wiry. She wore a small blue clip that didn't really hold back her slightly wavy hair and pulled her arms in, obviously she was shy, but it just made her look even smaller. She sat two seats away from Scorpius, looked over and smiled. He waved back before turning his head towards the sorting. Was it just him, or was she kinda pretty?

"Salai Ester "

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

"Scamander Lorcan"

Scorpius couldn't help but notice an obvious hatstall, which surprised him. It wasn't that he didn't want him to be part of his house, just wouldn't the twins be instant Ravenclaws?

"GRIFFIN-"

The hat cut itself off, suking all the noise from the room

"RAVENCLAW!" The sorting hat shouted it so loud that a din went up after it had finished, almost as if to make up for it's previous mistake. Lorcan sprinted up to sit next to Scorpius.

"Can you believe? It wanted to put me in Gryffindor" He was laughing so hard. Scorpius just raised an eyebrow, and high fived him

"It was so mad" Lorcan continued "When I mentally shoved my hand in its mouth"

"Ewwww" Scorpius couldn't stop thinking of someone shoving their brain in someone's mouth "Thats sooo yuck"

"What?" Lorcan laughed even harder "Ravenclaws have open minds, don't they?"

"Hey, you're the one who said I'd be in Slytherin"

"Hey, said is a very strong word. You inferred that for yourself"

"What do yo-" Lorcan cut him off "You should know, Lys told me to tell anyone I consider a friend that I am incredibly annoying, and that anything I say should not be taken as appropriate advice, or relevant evidence"

"And when did he tell you this"

"When I said that frogs and toads are different things"

"Aren't they though?"

"Of course, their different. Lys just says that their the same. It would be good if they were the same, since then warts wouldn't exist. But they are different."

"Why wou-" Scorpius stopped as Lysander walked up and sat on the other side of him, blocking his view of the brown haired girl. Who, Scorpius only just released his gaze occasionally darted to.

"Ha ha. The hat was so mad because of you Lorcy"

"Lorcy?" Scorpius said, amused. But the twins just ignored him

"I know, what about you Lysie"

"Lysie?" Scorpius actually laughed. The twins still ignored him.

"Of course. When I said I wouldn't be in the house you weren't in"

"Oh that must have made it so mad" Lorcan started laughing again. His laugh was odd, it was light and slightly surreal.

"Oh yeah" Lysander put on a squeaky voice "Well, I would have put him in Gryffindor as well, but he's a blimen Occlumens, wouldn't let me"

"Oh you sh-"

"Weasley Rose" Each syllable seemed to take an hour to pronounce. The twins argued on, by Scorpius sat up, eyes glued to the sorting hat that only partially covered her bushy red hair; and his finger crossed beneath his seat. He scrunched up his eyes as the sorting hat finally opened its mouth…

Ha ha, I know, I totally left you on a cliff hanger, sorry! Albeit, not much of one, but still!
