"A thousand years or more ago,

When I was newly sewn,

There lived four wizards of renown,

Whose names are still well known;

Bold Gryffindor, from wild moor,

Fair Ravenclaw, from glen,

Sweet Hufflepuff, from valley broad,

Shrewd Slytherin, from fen.

They shared a wish, a hope, a dream,

They hatched a daring plan

To educate young sorcerers

Thus Hogwarts School began.

Now each of these four founders

Formed their own house, for each

Did value different virtues

In the ones they had to teach.

By Gryffindor, the bravest were

Prized far beyond the rest;

For Ravenclaw, the cleverest

Would always be the best;

For Hufflepuff, hard workers were

Most worthy of admission;

And power-hungry Slytherin

Loved those of great ambition.

While still alive they did dividend

Their favorites from the throng,

Yet how to pick the worthy ones

When they were dead and gone?

'Twas Gryffindor who found the way,

He whipped me off his head

The founders put some brains in me

So I could choose instead!

Now slip me snug about your ears,

I've never yet been wrong,

I'll have to look inside your mind

And tell where you belong!" Sung the sorting hat. Lily and the other first years stood in front of four tables in the Great Hall. Professor McGonagall, the headmistress, looked down at her scroll.

"Avuella, Mary" She called. A girl with dark brown hair in a french braid and big brown eyes walked up to the hat. After a few moments on her head the hat screamed "RAVENCLAW!" They cheered and Mary smiled as she went to sit with her new housemates.

Lily was starting to feel nervous. She had completely zoned out until she heard the McGonagall call "Jackson, Bianca" Bianca walked up to the hat and it was placed on her head. It was silent for minutes untill it let a terrifying scream. "Get me off! Get me off! Help me!" McGonagall pulled the hat off and the whole room was silent as Bianca smirked. "Gryffindor. Please, never make me see that again." The hat begged. Bianca sat down  but no one clapped.

"Potter, Lily" She called after awhile. When the hat was placed upon her head she started to hear it talk to her. 'Another one? Bravery, confidence, this is really getting old.' it said. "GRYFFINDOR!" The table clapped and she sat down next to Bianca. Eventually after everyone got sorted the feast began and Bianca refused to eat. When Lily asked her why the answer was "I only eat blue food. I would love to eat but there is no blue food."

Then the Head Girl, came over. "Why aren't you eating?" She asked Bianca.

"I only eat food that is the color blue. None of this food is blue. If it isn't blue I won't eat it." She replied. People asked her all night why she wouldn't eat but she always gave the same weird answer.
