[McGonagall 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.]

"I get to see my son's sorting," said James with a big smile on his face.

"No one cares," said Ginny.

"Ginny!" said Hermione and Molly.

"What," asked Ginny.

"I expected that from Nadia well it's Nadia," answered Hermione.

"What's that suppose to mean," asked Nadia looking at Hermione.

"Well, you're a very dark and scary person who don't care if you hurt someone's feelings," answered Hermione.

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.

"Miss know it all," said Draco. Hermione and Nadia rolled their eyes at Draco.

[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]

"Are you serious why would you say that to a bunch of kids," yelled Lily, Remus and Regulus glaring at Dumbledore. Dumbledore looked at them but didn't say anything.

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.

"Ron Weasley!" Yelled Molly.

"Omg, shut up," said Nadia covering her ears while glaring at Molly.

"It's okay Mrs Wealsey," said Hermione.

[Harry nods in agreement. Hermione sits on the stool and McGonagall places the sorting hat on her head]

Sorting Hat: Ah, right then...hmm...right. Okay...Gryffindor!!

The gryffindor cheered for Hermione.

[The students cheer; Hermione jumps off with a smile.]

McGonagall: Draco Malfoy.
