House Sorting

They walked through the doors into the Great Hall. The first years were amazed by the ceiling and everything else in the Great Hall, but Jade, Ricky, and Jacob were unimpressed. They continued walking behind the first years looking as bored as they felt. Soon though they stopped in front of the steps. There was an old stool and a raggedy old hat. The hat sang a song before Professor McGonagall started to speak.

"When I call your name, sit on the stool and I will place the sorting hat on your head. He will choose the house you are well suited for and then you will go sit with your house."

She started to call names and soon all the first years were sorted and seated.

"This year we have three new transfer students from Japan. One of them will be a fourth year and the other two are fifth years. I will call the youngest first. White, Jade."

Jade skipped right up the stairs to the stool and gracefully sat down. The hat was placed on her head.

'Ah, a brilliant mind you have, Jade.'

'Um, thank you?'

'Haha, now where should I put you? You have the intelligence of a Ravenclaw, but you are as scheming and sneaky as a Slytherin.'

'Do either of those houses have Potters in them?'

'No, why.'

'You can place me in either of those two houses. I don't want to be in the same house as those lying bastards.'

'Now, now calm down dear. You are more sneaky, sly, and scheming so I think I will place you in "SLYTHERIN!"' Jade jumped up from the stool, handed the hat back to professor McGonagall and skipped over to the Slytherin table and sat down.

"Forest, Jacob."

Jacob walked up and sat down. He heard the sorting hat's voice in his head after it was placed upon his head.

'You are the same as your boyfriend, Jacob. A brilliant mind, but very sneaky and sly and very good at scheming.'

'Thank you.'

'I think I will place you in "SLYTHERIN!"' Jacob removed the hat and gave it back to professor McGonagall, before he joined Jade at the Slytherin table.

"White, Ricky."

Ricky walked up to the stool and sat down. The sorting hat immediately started to talk to Ricky as soon as the hat was placed on his head.

'A great mind just like your brother. You, unlike your brother, thrive to learn more and love to pull pranks on others. While you are great at scheming, you are not great at being sneaky. You have great loyalty to your brother, but can be rash with your decisions when it concerns him. Hmm now where should I place you?'

'Place me in Ravenclaw.'

'Hmm, you would do well there. It is the ideal house for you. So I will place you in "RAVENCLAW!"' The Ravenclaw burst into applause and Ricky walked over to that table and sat down.

Professor Dumbledore stood up and the applause stopped.

"Congratulations on your new housemates." He started off, but Jade didn't pay attention as she was too busy having a staring contest with her brother. She only really paid attention when she noticed her brother looking towards Dumbledore. "This year is a very special year as Hogwarts is hosting the Triwizard tournament. The other two schools that are participating are Durmstrang Institute and Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. They will arrive next month. The rules will be explained when those two schools are here. Now, children enjoy the feast."

They started eating. Jake fed both himself and Jade. Jade just giggled while the rest of Slytherin looked at them as if they were insane. Ricky on the other hand was feeling lonely without his sister and best friend. He ate quietly while reading a book. Soon though everyone was fed and ready for bed.
