I sit on the warm bench at Gryffindor table in Hogwarts, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione by my side. Everyone from our year returned to Hogwarts for a repeat 7th year. I'm as happy as can be, I can finally enjoy my life. We are going to have a calm year, and Ginny is in my year now so we can have classes together!
"That's all for the Sorting!" Headmistress McGonagall concludes.
She goes to remove the Sorting Hat from it's stool but it opens it's "mouth" instead of going quietly. "Read the list once more."
McGonagall is shocked, that is evident, but she unrolls the scroll of names once more and frowns, her brow furrowing.
"Godric Gryffindor II? Gianna Gryffindor? Howard Hufflepuff? Rowena Ravenclaw II? Richard Ravenclaw? Selena Slytherin?" She reads the names off, and looks up, confused. There are no students waiting to be sorted. Plus, aren't the ancient Houses of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin long gone? I thought they died out ages ago.
With a bang the doors to the Great Hall open, and 6 figures walk in confidently. They are standing in a formation, with the 3 boys standing in the front, and the 3 girls standing behind them, in the middle of each person so they are still fully visible. They each wear traditional robes, lined with either red, green, yellow, or blue. They're not 11, that's for sure. They look my age.
"We are here. We will be sorted, to transfer into 7th year." The first boy says. He has flaming red hair, just like the Weasley's own, and hard hazel eyes. They look serious, and stern. He is clean shaven, with a defined jawline that I wish I had.
"Your name?" McGonagall asks.
"Godric Gryffindor II." He replies, confidently.
She looks at them, her jaw practically on the floor, before shaking her head, as if to clear her mind.
"Well then, sit on the stool and place the Sorting Hat-" Mcgonagall trails off, staring at the stool, a red headed, green eyed girl is sitting on the stool, the hat on her head. She's beautiful, I realize with a start that they all are. They are the most attractive group of people I have ever seen. Her skin is smooth and tanned to golden perfection.
"Gryffindor!" The Sorting Hat calls out immediately.
She delicately places the hat back on the stool and walks over to our table, sitting down next to Ron who's at the end of our group.
"Sorry about my sister Headmistress." Godric apologizes with a slight smile. "Gianna tends to do whatever she wants." No wonder she was sorted into Gryffindor, and within seconds no less, she's a descendant of Godric Gryffindor himself!
Godric II steps forwards but another girl is already shoving the hat on.
"Sorry Goddy! You snooze you lose!" The blonde tells him. He glares in response. Her grey eyes twinkle mischievously.
"Selena Slytherin." He tells McGonagall. Sure enough, she is sorted into Slytherin instantly. She sits next to Malfoy and Zabini.
Once she has vacated the stool he places the hat on his own head, and get's sorted into Gryffindor like his sister, and sits right next to her.
Next a brown haired, brown eyed boy with a slight stubble and a shy look about him bows to McGonagall. "I am Richard Ravenclaw, and this is my sister Rowena Ravenclaw II." He gestures to the girl behind him.
He sits on the stool and is instantly sorted into Ravenclaw. Rowena II steps forwards and curtsies, but doesn't utter a word. Her calculating blue gaze sweeps through the room as she sits down, placing the Sorting Hat atop her long black curls. She is also sorted into Ravenclaw. No surprise there. They both sit with Luna.
The last person is a boy. He must be Howard Hufflepuff. He steps forwards, a little lost in thought looking, and sits down, beaming. He sets the Sorting Hat on his blond head, his curls shifting. His blue eyes take everything in as he smiles. Of course he is sorted into Hufflepuff.
McGonagall gives her usual speech, still seeming a bit stunned. After that we dig into our food.
Gianna stares around the room, her long lashes framing her green eyes perfectly. Her heart shaped red lips are pulled into a smile as she whispers something in her brother's ear. My heartbeat quickens as if I have a crush on her. I blush when she looks over at me during her glance around the room and I silently curse to myself. I'm dating Ginny, and we love each other. I have no feelings for this girl. At least I'm telling myself I don't.
That night I fall asleep thinking of the new arrivals, and I dream of Gianna, not Ginny.
