Chapter 4- The Sorting

James and Jasmine exited the train hand in hand. Both twins had butterflies in their stomaches as they made their way over to the massive man calling out for the first years to follow him. When they got over to him, the man instructed them only 4 to a boat. James and Jasmine shared a boat with Sirius and Remus, while Peter got into a boat with the giant (who they would later find out was named Hagrid). The boats magically started moving on their own, making the children gasp in excitement and wonder.

That wonder was increased ten fold as soon as the castle came into view. the children were talking excitedly when a large tenticle slipped out of the water, and slid its way down Peters back, causing him to jump in fear and fall out of the boat. He was easily fished out by Hagrid though, and they continued their journey to the castle.

The boats finally docked under the school, and the children filed out of the boats and followed Hagrid. When they stopped, there stood a very stern looking witch in green and black robes. The children listened intently as the woman spoke about the sorting, and each house. Jasmine felt a pang of worry about which house she was going to be placed in, when the double doors behind the professor opened, revealing the great hall in all of it's splendor.

At the head of the great hall was a very old hat with a tear in the brim. When the tear opened up and started singing, the children let out a very audible gasp. Peter screamed and passed out, causing a bunch of slytherins to snicker under their breath. James, Sirius and Remus shot them a glare, and James sent a minor stinging hex at a tall, Blonde boy that looked to be about 14. The children didn't really pay much attention to the sorting, until Sirius was called up. The hat was placed on his head, and it stayed there for a good 5 minutes before finally shouting GRIFFINDOR! The great hall was silent except for the clapping from his other three friends.

The sorting continued to drag on, until finally, it was Jasmine's turn. She walked gracefully up to the stool, and the hat was dropped onto her head. "Ah, another potter." said the hat. "Hello sir." Jasmine said inside her head. "So polite too. But you also have alot of courage. Im going to say Gryffindor!" The hat yelled out. Jasmine felt herself sigh in relief as she ran over to Gryffindor table, sitting next to Lily and Mary. She watched on as James was also placed in Gryffindor. The sorting went on for another five minutes before Alexander Zabini wassorted into Slytherin.

The children happily talked with their new friends and enjoyed the feast. Finally, when their bellies were full, the children were led up to the commen room. Alisha Macdonnald, the Gryffindor prefect, and also Mary's older sister, gave the password to the portrait of the fat lady (Hollyhead Harpies) and they all filed in, going straight to their respected dorms.
