Mrs. J.K., my favorite Author, I swear, your good looks have nothing to do with it, it helps though. I mess in your sandbox and imagine you are here with me… too creepy? Nah.

She grinned, "Did you see the Levels of everyone? Most adults are between Levels 25 and 40, our parents are between 42 and 48. We are Level 57 after last night, Harry is Level 69 and I bet Dudley with his Level 75 can face Dumbledore and kick his butt."

We were ready to storm the castle when the train stopped at the station.

32 Sorted.

Hagrid called all the first years to him and guided us to the boats, the path was very slippery, yeah, Malfoy lost his footing and fell in the lake, Weasley was laughing out loud until he took a dive too, Daphne or Tracey's work I guess.

Harry took his girls in a boat and called Neville in, he made friends with Neville thanks to Sirius. Hermione and I were sharing a boat with a set of twins, the Patils, "Hello, I am Hermione Granger and this mean-looking boy is Dudley Dursley, don't worry though, he is a sweet boy once you get to know him better."

I protested: "Hermione! Don't you dare to ruin my bad reputation! Misses twin girls, do not believe her, she is a lion tamer and doesn't know the difference between sweet and mean. Let me know if someone is bullying you… or tell Hermione if I am the bully, she will set me straight."

Parvati giggled: "Oh, I am sure Hermione will be busy setting you straight, what do you think, Padma?"

Padma shrugged: "He will behave, I can tell."

The Castle came into view, a lot of oohs and aahs sounded from the kids, not me though, I had seen the bloody thing enough already. We docked at the castle and got out of the boats, as a gentleman I helped the girls, see? I guess I'm sweet after all. The ferret and the weasel were soaked, staring daggers at anyone who dared to laugh.

When McGonagall went away and the discussion went on how we get sorted I loudly said: "I heard of a secret method from Lord Black. He said you have to sing a song in your head, if it is a brave song you go to Griffindor, a complicated song is for Ravenclaw, a song for trickery is for Slytherin, and a song about loyal friends is for Hufflepuff."

Weasley said: "Fred and George said we have to fight a Troll!"

I laughed: "You be dead if you have to fight one mate, they are almost double the size of that man that showed us to the boats. I tell you, they probably don't want you in their house. I am told it even gives you a hint by singing a song first."

Xxxxx

We went inside the great hall, Hermione was nervous, she held my hand in a death grip. We knew what was going to happen, Sirius spilled the beans under our pressure and Compulsion Charms, we all agreed to go in the House Tracey gets sorted in, everyone looked at me when the Hat started to sing, bravery for the Lions, smartypants for the ravens, and cunning for the snakes, Helga is loyal and takes the rest.

Hannah Abbot was first, I saw her lips silently move in tune with the song in her head, a minute later, HUFFLEPUFF! Hannah stood up and nodded at Susan, the trend was set, Abbot confirmed it, the song works! Sorting took longer though, the Hat must be enjoying the songs because he took his time for each one to finish. Susan sang a loyal song and got in Hufflepuff too.
