[She leads everyone through two large doors and into the Great Hall, where there are four long tables with thousands of students, as well as floating candles. The roof appears to be the sky.]
Hermione: It's not real, the ceiling. It's just bewitched to look like the night sky. I read about it in Hogwarts: A History.
[McGonagall leads the first-years to the front where the Sorting Hat lies on the stool.]
McGonagall: Will you wait along here, please? Now, before we begin, Professor Dumbledore would like to say a few words.
[Dumbledore rises from the main table.]
Dumbledore: 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 [shows a ragged old man, called Mr. Argus Filch, with his cat with red eyes, called Mrs. Norris.] 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.[He sits back down]
"WHAT?!", All the mothers shout.
"What does this mean Dumbledore?", Madam Bones asks in a deadly calm voice.
Dumbledore looks 'ashamed' of his past action and replies, "It's for the greater good."
Iris and Aries scoff at the so-called 'greater good', wondering how people didn't notice it was originally Grindewald's phrase.
McGonagall: 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.
Hermione: [to herself] Oh, no. Okay, relax. [She goes up]
Ron: Mental that one, I'm telling you.
"RONALD WEASLEY!"
"He apologized later, Mrs. Weasley", Hermione replies.
Molly calms a bit but is still glaring disapprovingly at Ron.
[Aries nods in agreement. Iris frowns and disagrees. Hermione sits on the stool and McGonagall places the sorting hat on her head]
Sorting Hat: Ah, right then...hmm...right. Okay...Gryffindor!!
[The students cheer; Hermione jumps off with a smile.]
McGonagall: Draco Malfoy.
[Draco saunters up proudly. The tattered hat nearly freaks before touching down on Draco's head.]
Snorts were heard, seeing the hat freaking out.
"Even the hat does not want your hair bleach on itself", Theo jokes.
Draco blushes bright red in embarrassment and glares at him.
Sorting Hat: SLYTHERIN!
[The students cheer, not as loudly]
Ron: There isn't a witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin.
Iris: Merlin was a Slytherin, Ron.
Aries: And my dad too.
The Slytherins were shocked seeing the two defend their house.
McGonagall: Susan Bones.
[A small, redhead goes up. Iris looks around and notices a black greasy haired, pale man, called, Severus Snape, giving him sinister looks. Her scar hurts.]
Iris: Ahh! [puts her hand on her forehead in pain]
"What did you do, Snivellus?"
"I didn't do anything, Black.", Snape sneers.
"He's right, Sirius. It was not him.", Iris reassures him.
Ron and Aries: [concerned] Iris, what is it?
Iris: Nothing... nothing, I'm fine.
[Aries still looks concerned for his new friend (crush)]
"Awww... little wittle Aries concerned for his future little girlfriend", one of the Weasley twins say.
Aries blushes.
Sorting Hat: Let's see...I know...Hufflepuff!
Mcgonagall: Aries Black.
[People whisper things like: "Black? As in Sirius Black?" "Must be his nephew". Aries walks up confidently and the hat is put on his head.]
Sorting Hat: Ah, A Black? Haven't seen one of you in the past decade. Better be... SLYTHENDOR, MORE OF A GRYFFINDOR! You need to go to the Griffin's, dear.
[Whispers intensify.]
Student: What is Slythendor?
Sorting Hat: Hybrid of Slytherin and Gryffindor of course.
[Aries jumps off the stool and goes to the Gryffindor table, guessing that is where his friends will be sorted to]
McGonagall: Ronald Weasley.
[Ron gulps and walks up. He sits down and the hat is put on.]
Sorting Hat: Ha! Another Weasley. I know just what to do with you... Gryffindor!!
[The students cheer as Ron sighs in relief.]
"Relieved, were you ,Ron?"
McGonagall: Iris Potter.
[Everything goes silent. Iris walks up and sits down on the stool. The Sorting Hat is placed on her head.]
Sorting Hat: 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. All of the founders would like to have you. But where to put you?
"She could've gone anywhere!"
Iris: [whispering to the hat] Anywhere would be alright, Mr. Hat.
Sorting Hat: Anywhere, eh? Are you sure?
Iris: [still whispering] Yes.
Sorting Hat: Well, if you're sure... better be... SLYTHENDOR, MORE OF A GRYFFINDOR! Go to the Griffin's, dear.
[Everyone is quiet. Aries claps loudly and the chain reaction goes.There is an immense cheering and Iris goes to the Gryffindor table and sits with Aries and Ron.]
Fred and George: We got Potter! We got Potter!
Fred and George copy their past-selves' actions.
[Iris sits down at the table. She looks at Dumbledore, who lifts up his goblet and slightly waves it, as if he was wishing congratulations.]
