Lies Revealed

And so it Begins

It was 8am and in the Great Hall the Students and adults quickly ate their breakfast, wanting to continue the movies.

Sakura and Ivy walked in and made a beeline to Cissa, Lucy, Tom, Lily and James.

"Good morning Mum, Granpa, aunt Cissa, Lucy, James."

"Morning sweetie, little Snake, Dear"

James was pouting.

Sighing Sakura realised why.

"Look yes you apologized to Sev. However I was raised by Cissa and Lucy later Granpa helped. I remember mum standing in front of my cot. The only things I currently know about you is you bullied under the guise of pranks. So I am uncomfortable calling you dad at the moment"

James sighed "I get it princess, I don't like it but I understand."

Future Severus approached and put his arms around Sakura and Ivy.

Sakura grinned. "Hello my love"

"Morning"

Taking their seats the screen lit up.

At platform 9 3/4 the red engine was ready to go.

"Now I expect a letter from each of you informing us of your house within the next week." Narcissa said to the two 11 year olds.

"Yes mother/Aunt Cissa"

About 2 hours into the journey Sakura ran into the compartment she shared with Draco. Where there were now three others.

"Brother save me!"

"Why what happened"

"A redheaded neanderthal just told me apparently he's Sakura Potter's best friend that they were going into Gryffindor together and I should be nice to him before looking me up and down and leering, I feel dirty"

"Must be a Weasley."

"But I did send an overpowered stinging hex at him before running back here"

"That's my little sister!" Draco beamed.

After introductions from the other three who were Blaize Zabini, Theodore Nott and Pansy Parkinson.

They had been chatting amicably until the door burst open.

"Has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville's lost one."

"You're an idiot" Sakura sneers

"Excuse me!"

"You're excused. 1. You have little to no manners just barging in without knocking, we could have been changing you know. 2. By opening doors you are just giving the toad places to enter and hide from morons like you. And finally 3. If you had used your brain, tiny though it is. As a prefect to summon the toad! Now piss off"

Hermione Granger ran off crying as they all laughed

Later, a large number of boats are plugging across a vast lake, where up ahead a huge castle, known as the Hogwarts Castle, can be seen. People are in awe.]

[They continue on further towards the castle. Later on, the first year students walk in the castle, and up the staircase. As the camera pans, we see on a higher level, Professor McGonagall is waiting. She taps her fingers on a stone railing, and then goes to the top of the stairs to greet the newcomers.]

McGonagall: Welcome to Hogwarts. Now, in a few moments, you will pass through these doors and join your classmates. But before you can take your seats, you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Now while you’re here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you house points. Any rule breaking, and you will lose points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup.
[A scared looking boy called Neville Longbottom, spots his toad sitting near McGonagall. He jumps forward.]

Neville: Trevor! [he catches his toad; McGonagall stares down at him as some of the students laugh] Sorry. [He backs away, embarrassed.]
McGonagall: The sorting ceremony will begin momentarily. [she leaves to go into the Great Hall]

McGonagall: We're ready for you now. Follow me.

[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.

Sakura rolled her eyes towards Draco who snickers.

[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]
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]
Draco: Mental that one, I'm telling you.
Sakura 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 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.]

Sorting Hat: SLYTHERIN!
[The students cheer, Sakura whoops at her God brother]

Ron: There isn't a witch or wizard who went bad who wasn’t in Slytherin.

Sakura: Merlin, you moron!

McGonagall: Susan Bones.

[A small, redhead goes up. Sakura looks around and notices  Severus Snape, giving her a smirk. She winks at him.

McGonagall: Sakura Potter.
[Everything goes silent. Sakura walks up back straight and shoulders back looking every bit the pureblood and sits down on the stool. The Sorting Hat is placed on her head.]

Sorting Hat: Hmm...difficult, very difficult. Not a bad mind, There's talent, oh yes, and a thirst to prove yourself. But where to put you?
Sakura: [whispering to the hat] Not Gryffindor. Not Gryffindor.
Sorting Hat: Not Gryffindor, eh? Are you sure? Your parents were Gryffindors

Sakura: I care about my parents i do, however I am not them I am me and I'm proud to be me.

Careful little Heir the headmaster is sending compulsions at me to force you into Gryffindor.

I will be, my Brother and Soulmate are Slytherin maybe there?

I'm happy for Severus you will be wonderful together. Come see me sometime I'd love to chat with you more.

Sure.

...anything but Gryffindor.

Sorting Hat: Well, if you're sure... better be... SLYTHERIN!!
[There is a gentle cheering and applause as Sakura goes to the Slytherin table.]
