Professor McGonagall lead everyone through two large doors and into the Great Hall, where there were four long tables with thousands of students, as well as floating candles. The roof appeared to be the sky.
"It's not real, the ceiling. It's just bewitched to look like the night sky. I read about it in Hogwarts: A History" said Hermione.
McGonagall lead the first-years to the front where the Sorting Hat lay on the stool.
"Will you wait along here, please? Now, before we begin, Professor Dumbledore would like to say a few words" said professor McGonagall.
Dumbledore rose from the main table.
"I have a few start of term notices I wish to announce. The first years please note that the dark forest is strictly forbidden to all students. Also, our caretaker, Mr. Filch has asked me to remind you that the 3rd floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death. Thank you" said Dumbledore.
"When I call your name, you will come forth, I shall place the sorting hat on your head, and you will be sorted into your houses. Hermione Granger" called professor McGonagall.
"Oh, no. Okay, relax" Hermione told herself.
"
Mental that one, I'm telling you" whispered Ron
Harry nodded in agreement. Mary swatted Harry, and Roxy swatted Ron. Hermione sat on the stool and McGonagall placed the sorting hat on her head.
"Ah, right then...hmm...right. Okay...Gryffindor" said the Hat.
The students cheered. Hermione jumped off with a smile.
"Draco Malfoy" called McGonagall.
Draco sauntered up proudly.
"SLYTHERIN" the Hat shouted, before it even touched his head.
The students cheered, not as loudly.
"There isn't a witch or wizard who went bad who wasn’t in Slytherin" said Ron, Mary, Harry and Roxy shuddered.
"Susan Bones".
A small, redhead went up. Harry and Mary looked around and noticed a black greasy haired, pale man, giving them sinister looks. Their scars hurt.
"Ahh" said Harry and Mary and they put their hand on their foreheads in pain
"Harry, Mary what is it" asked Ron and Roxy.
"Nothing... nothing, I'm fine" said both twins.
"
Let's see...I know...Hufflepuff" cried the sorting Hat.
"Ronald Weasley" said professor McGonagall.
Ron gulped and walked up. He sat down and the hat was put on.
"Ha! Another Weasley. I know just what to do with you... Gryffindor" exclaimed the Hat.
The students cheered as Ron sighed in relief.
"Roxanne Prewett" called Professor McGonagall
"A Weasley relation as well... Gryffindor" shouted the hat.
"Hey, my mum was a Prewett, she had a second cousin who was a squib" said Ron to Roxy as he sat at the Gryffindor table.
"Harry Potter" said professor McGonagall.
Everything went silent. Harry walked up and sat down on the stool. The Sorting Hat was placed on his head.
"Hmm...difficult, very difficult. Plenty of courage I see, not a bad mind, either. There's talent, oh yes, and a thirst to prove yourself. But where to put you" asked the hat.
Mary heard a thought in her head, that wasn't her own, it said, not Slytherin, she realised it must be Harry's thought because at the same time he was whispering to the hat.
"Not Slytherin. Not Slytherin"
"
Not Slytherin, eh? Are you sure? You could be great, you know. It’s all here in your head. And Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness! There's no doubt about that. No" asked the Hat.
"Not Slytherin...anything but Slytherin" Harry whispered.
"Well, if you're sure... better be... GRYFFINDOR" shouted the Hat.
There was an immense cheering and Harry went to the Gryffindor table.
"We got a Potter! We got a Potter" chanted Fred and George
"Mary Potter" called Professor McGonagall.
Mary was nervous, she had to be in the same house as Harry, she couldn't leave him alone, she was his older sister, Harry obviously heard that though, as she then heard 'ten minutes' screamed into her head.
She sat on the stool and the hat was placed on her head.
"Another Potter, much wiser than the first, you'd do well in Ravenclaw" remarked the Hat.
"No, Gryffindor, not Ravenclaw, Gryffindor" thought Mary.
"Gryffindor hey, hmm, let me think, yes, you have bravery, plenty of it, but there is also an eagerness to learn" said the Hat.
"Not Ravenclaw" though Mary.
"Gryffindor" thought Harry.
"Ahh, twin telepathy, now, hmm, I think at head you're a Ravenclaw, but at heart GRYFFINDOR" shouted the hat.
"We got the Potters, we got the Potters" chanted Fred and George together as Mary sat down next to Roxy and Harry, who was next to Percy and across from Hermione. Ron was on the other side of Roxy.
Mary and Harry looked at Dumbledore, who lifted up his goblet and slightly waved it, as if he was wishing congratulations.
