The Sorcerer's Stone (BOOK 1)

YR 1 [CHAPTER 12]

THE SORTING HAT

Professor McGonagall leads us through two large doors which go to the Great Hall i assume , where there are four long tables with thousands of students, as well as floating candles. The roof appears to be the sky.

i gasped at it looking at it adorably

"it's not real, the ceiling. It's just bewitched to look like the night sky. I read about it in Hogwarts: A History." a familiar voice said to me

it was hermione

i smiled at her and nodded

"you really know all about hogwart, dont you?"

she smiled humbly at me and shaked her head

"not much but i guess just half of it" she said softly while i nodded at her and smiled back

Professor McGonagall leads us first years to the front where a hat lies on the stool.

"whats that?" i whispered to hermione

"its a sorting hat, that will sort you into the 4 different houses and know which house you're supposed to be in" she whispered to me back

"wicked" i said smiling

"i know right?" she smiled back at me while giggling

"All right, will you wait along here, please? Now, before we begin, Professor Dumbledore would like to say a few words." spoked up professor mcgonagall and the we saw professor dumbledore rose up from his seat

"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" he said and then i look to the direction where he was looking and saw a old man glaring? and holding a cat on his arm treating it like a baby

"has asked me to remind you that the third-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 continued to blabber

and then professor mcgonagall went infront of us first years

"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." i looked at her with a smile on her face

"oh no, okay relax" she mumbled to her self

"you got this!" i exclaim softly at her then she returned a smile at me and nodded

"Mental, that one, I'm telling you." ron spoked

"hey watch it, shes nice you know" i glared at ron while he just shrugged his shoulders not really caring about what i say

"Ah, right then... hmm... right. Okay. Gryffindor!" she smiled excitedly and rose up then went to the gryffindor table and sat down

"Draco Malfoy." ugh i hate hearing that name

then draco rose up proudly sitting at the stool before the sorting hat could even touch his head it shouted

"SLYTHERIN!"

"Susan Bones." a redheaded girl went infront of the stool and smiled

i glanced at harry and then he touched my wrist while his other hand was on his forehead and he groan when his hand came in contact with my scar i hissed in pain

"ouch, potter" i said to him

"you two, alright?" ron asked as we both nodded in unison

"Let's see... I know! Hufflepuff!" the sorting hat shouted she giggled and went down

"y/n potter" everyone went quiet, i tensed up and slowly went to sit at the stool

"ahh a potter, i see. as brave and loyal as gryffindor........... creative and has the intelligence as a ravenclaw....... and you have all the kinds that hupplepuff values....... you are also ambitious and resourceful like what the slytherin values.......... very difficult very difficult" the sorting hat continued i look around and saw malfoy's eyes as he smirk

"oh please not slytherin" i mumbled to my self but the sorting hat heard me

"not slytherin aye? but why? slytherin values everything you have, potter oh well better put you in GRYFFINDOR" the sorting hat shouted as i sighed and went down onto the little stage and went beside hermione then i notice the twins from earlier was now looking at me

i shot them a questioning look "what?" i asked they shook their heads and looked away from me but i always caught them staring at me

"GRYFFINDOR!" the hat shouted i didnt even notice that it was ron who was sorted but i didnt care anymore since atleast he was in gryffindor

"harry potter" there it is, my brother, gryffindor, like me pls.

"Aye another potter, aye? 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. But where to put you?" the hat paused for a minute

"Not Slytherin, eh? Are you sure? You could be great, you know. It's all here, in your head. And Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness! There's no doubt about that. No? just like you sister, i see better be in GRYFFINDOR" i smiled widely and then he ran down and sat beside ron who was beside me

"nice one, lil bro" he rolled his eyes at me

"you too, lil sis"
