DISCLAIMER: I don't own Fairy Tail or Harry Potter

Please, PM me instead of leaving a review. It still isn't working correctly, and I want to be able to see what you want to tell me. Just clarify that it is a review for MATDS and not the one-shot I just posted.

The door opened. A tall, slim, pink-haired witch with a red cloak was standing in the doorway. She had a stern face on, almost reminded you of a dragon.

"First years, this is Professor Porlyusica," Gildarts said.

"I'll take them from here Gildarts, take you," she replied.

She opened the door even wider, to another entrance hall. The walls held up torches as the light source, the ceiling was so high you couldn't see it, and they were facing a marble staircase to take them to higher floors.

They followed Professor Porlyusica across the room. Metalicana heard the voices of the other students from behind a doorway. Instead of taking them down that doorway however, Professor Porlyusica brought them into a small chamber, with all of the first years standing close together nervously.

"Welcome to Fairy Tail," she said, "The start-of-school banquet will start soon, but before you all take your seats in the dining hall, you will be sorted into you proper houses. This house will be your family within the school, you all have classes with them, sleep with them, and have free time with them. The four houses are Dragon Slayer, Quatro Cerberus, Lamia Scale, and Tartarus. Throughout the year, year house will be awarded points for good behavior, and lose points for rule breaking. The house with the most points at the end of the year is awarded the house cup, which is a great honor. This ceremony will take place in front of the whole school in a few minutes, go ahead and make yourselves presentable while you wait."

She took a look around at the students, with bags under their eyes from the long day, wrinkled clothing, and a few snack stains.

"I come and get you when it's time, wait quietly until then," Professor Porlyusica then turns to leave.

"How exactly do they sort us into houses?" Metalicana asked Igneel.

"Some test, Weiss said it hurts, but knowing him, he was probably joking."

Metalicana just got even more nervous, I mean, who wants to go through a test in front of an entire school. He hasn't learned one bit of magic yet, and now he has to prove himself. Most of the other students looked terrified too, except Grandine Marvell, who was mumbling about which spells she might need.

Metalicana tried not to pay attention to her, and just kept his eyes fixed on the door, waiting for Professor Porlyusica to take him to the closest thing to doom there is. Then, some kids started screaming. Metalicana looked up and could see why. About twenty ghosts had appeared over their heads, yes, ghosts, why not? They seemed to be in the middle of an argument.

"Come on, let's give him a second chance."

"We have given him all of the second chances he deserves, he gives the rest of us here a bad name," the ghost looks down and notices the terrified children, "Now what are you all doing here?"

"New students," the first ghost said, "about to be sorted, correct?"

A few of the kids nodded.

"Hope to see you in Quatro Cerberus, it was my house when I was your age."

"Get out of here, would you," a sharp voice commanded, "the ceremony is about to start."

Professor Porlyusica had come back. The ghosts obeyed her, and left through the wall, back where they came from.

"Now form a line," she said to the first years.

Once everyone was lined up, Professor Porlyusica lead them out of the chamber and into a large dining hall. Metalicana could not believe his eyes. Thousands of candles floating above the tables lit up the entire room. There were four large tables were the other students were seated, all wearing very revealing outfits. There was a small staircase leading to an area reserved for the teachers.

Professor Porlyusica lead the first years in front of that area, leaving them to face the rest of the school. Metalicana looked up to see a black ceiling with small white lights.

Grandine whispered to him, "They placed a spell on it to make it look like the sky outside, almost hard to believe there's a ceiling there at all."

Metalicana looked back down again to see a stool had been placed in front of the line of first years. On top of the stool was a blue-green crystal, with white swirling on the surface. Maybe they would have to turn it into an apple or something Metalicana thought.

"Take me into your hands, where I will decide the house you shall be sorted to, for all great wizards and witches need a helping hand to guide them through," a soft, feminine voice said, Metalicana assumed it was the crystal as it changed colors while it was talking.

"We just have to hold a lacrima," Igneel said, "I'm going to kill Weiss, he kept going on about how you had to fight a Vulcan."

Metalicana gave a small smile. He did still wish that the whole school wasn't watching, but it was better than being force to do some crazy spell.

"When I call your name, take the lacrima, sit on the stool, and wait to be sorted," Professor Porlyusica said.

She started called names, every time a certain house was called that house would cheer for the new first year they have join them. Metalicana could see Igneel's brothers cheering when the first Dragon Slayer was called. Metalicana also noticed that sometimes the lacrima said the house right away, other times it took a minute.

"Marvell, Grandine!" Professor Porlyusica called.

Grandine practically ran up there, clutching the lacrima as tight as she could.

"DRAGON SLAYER!"

Igneel groaned, now knowing that he would probably have to share a house with the girl. The boy Cobra got his wish and was placed in Tartarus, along with his two henchmen. It took a while, as the list didn't seem to go in a certain order, but finally Metalicana got his chance.

"Redfox, Metalicana!"

Whispers were heard from all of the table after his name was called. He could see people trying to get a better look of him as he sat down on the stool.

"Hmm," someone said to him, it looked as if no one else could hear, "this is a tough call, you seem to have plenty of talent."

Anything but Tartarus, Metalicana thought, anything but that house with nothing but corrupt wizards and the boy from the train.

"Now Tartarus, you could do great things there? Well if you are sure," the voice said again.

"DRAGON SLAYER!"

He walked nervously to the Dragon Slayer table as he received the loudest cheer ever. Atlas Flame, one of Igneel's brothers, went and shook Metalicana's hands.

The twins yelled, "We got Redfox!" over and over again.

As he sat down a ghost from earlier patted Metalicana's arm, giving him the feeling of being dunked in ice water. Metalicana could also see the teachers a lot better now too. Gildarts gave him a thumbs up, Professor Hades waved at him too.

Now there was only three people left to be sorted; one was placed in Dragon Slayer, the other in Lamia Scale. Leaving Igneel the last one up there, he looked almost green as he took the lacrima into his hands.

"DRAGON SLAYER!"

"Great job, Igneel," Atlas told his little brother as he sat down.

Professor Porlyusica, and two other teachers got the list, stool, and lacrima to be put away.

Kind of short chapter, sorry. Anyway, to all of you who don't know, I posted a one-shot on Sunday called "Meet the Redfox's". If you are interested please check it out (the reviews are the same way there, use PM instead). If you sent me a review last chapter, not the author not explaining some of this, then I did not get it. I only saw the number of reviews go up, not what you actually said. So, if you wouldn't mind PMing me that review as well as any for this chapter, that would be great. The next update should be sometime over the weekend.
