Chapter 3
HUGO
"Hugo, I'm so excited!!!" Lily cried as we rode boats towards the Hogwarts castle. "But I'm scared too.What house will I be in." she screamed. "Ooh! I'm so scared! But excited too!"
"Lily, could you please stop? Everything will be okay." I said, although I wasn't that convinced myself.
******************************************************************************************************************
"Welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to all our new first years and welcome back to our old friends." Albus Dumbeldore stood at the front of the school's great hall. "Before we do the sorting, I have some anouncements to make." he cleared his throat and ruffled through some papers, trying to find the right one. All the first years sat at the front of the great hall schatting and waiting nervously. All the other pupils sat at four different tables: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Rvenclaw and Hufflepuff, all of them with different colours. James sat at the Gryffindor table, decorated with red and gold. Albus sat at the green and silver table, Slytherin. And Rose sat at the Ravenclaw table, decorated with blue and white.
The Headmaster cleared his throat and began: "This year, we will have a special tournament." he let the suspense hang in the air and people started murmuring, "No, it's not the Triwizard Tournament as that wasn't really succesful, let's put it that way, the last time we did it." All the children drooped their heads, they knew what had happened. "The Tournament we are having, is a new type of Tournament, and we are the ones who came up with it while you were on holiday. It is a Quidditch tournament, but there's a catch. You have to use spells to win the match."
There were nods of appretiation, the shaking of heads and complaints all around the room. The Ravenclaw table, which was the cleverest figured things out really quickly: "This Tournament can't be won with brains and no talent in Quidditch and can't be won with talent at Quidditch and no brains. It's a really intelligent way to test us."
After quieting down the crowd, Professor Dumbledore said: "Now let's get on with the sorting!"
Professor Mc. Gonagall, head of Gryffindor house, stood up from her seat with an old and tattered hat. She placed it on a stool and it began to sing!:
Most people think this school,
Came up out of the blue
But they are, they are wrong,
As I am telling you in this song!
Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff,
Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw.
These are the founders...
These are the founders.....
Of-this-school!
The hat finished his song on a low key and the whole room burst into aplause. Then, Professor Mc. Gonagall stood next to the hat's stool and read a name out loud: "Abbot, Mary." A little girl went up to the stool and sat down nervously. Everyone was quite until the hat shouted: "HUFFLEPUFF!" and the table on the far left exploded with cheers.
"Brown, Parvati." Rose shuddered as the little girl who looked a lot like her mother walked towards the stool. Rose's mother and Parvati's mother didn't get on so well. "GRYFFINDOR!" the table next to the Hufflepuff table banged on the table and cheered loudly.
This went on for some time until the hat called out: "Potter, Lily." Professor Snape shuddered while the rest of the teachers looked thoughtful as they remembered the original Lily Potter.
Brave, like your father, but loyal too. You remind me a lot of your grandmother. Hmm...You won't be with your brother Albus, for sure, so I think I'll put you with your other brother James... "GRYFFINDOR!"
Lily sat down as the Gryffindor table clapped and banged.
"Thomas, Seamus." (It looked like loads of people had decided to name their children after their best friend). The hat was barely placed on the boy's head when it shouted: "GRYFFINDOR!"
After some more people, Professor Mc. Gonagall called out: "Weasley, Hugo." He sat down on the stool looking very nervous.
"Go, Hu!" Lily and Rose shouted. Hugo smiled.
Hhm... You are a very intelligent boy, though you are loyal, but you are also very intelligent. Wow, this is hard... You aren't Slytherin material, for sure, ("Yes!" thought Hugo). You are braver than intelligenter, not Ravenclaw then, hmm... "HUFFLEPUFF!".
Hugo stood up, dazed and went towards his table, through the croud around the room, he saw his sister and the Potter children smiling at him. He beamed back.
"Now, let's get on with our feast." Professor Dumbledore cried, and magically food appeared before evrybody and they dug in, the children were famished.
