Sasuke Uchiha in Harry Potter - Part 2

Common Room

The Great Hall doors swung open, and the first-year students entered.

The room fell into a respectful silence as everyone watched the newcomers make their way toward the stool where the Sorting Hat awaited.

The Sorting Hat then began to sing:

Centuries ago, I was cut, shaped, and sewn.

Back then, four famous wizards, whose names we still remember, founded Hogwarts.

The brave Gryffindor from the fields; the fair Ravenclaw from the valley; the hardworking Hufflepuff from the plains; and the cunning Slytherin from the marshlands.

They shared a desire, a hope, a dream: to create a daring curriculum to educate young witches and wizards.

Thus, Hogwarts was born, this school.

Each of the four founders created a house to reflect the qualities of their students.

Gryffindor valued bravery; Ravenclaw, intelligence.

Hufflepuff, hard work; and Slytherin, ambition...

Professor McGonagall began calling the students for the sorting process.

As they were called, the students from each respective house applauded their new housemates.

Luis Wood: Gryffindor.

Ivan Noiret: Ravenclaw.

Natalia Mckinnon: Slytherin.

Elena Furiase: Slytherin.

Dumbledore approached the podium and announced the start of the feast.

At the staff table, McGonagall and Slughorn were conversing.

Slughorn: It seems Slytherin had a good turnout, don't you think, Minerva?

Minerva: Yes, that's true. I didn't expect half of the new students to be sorted into Slytherin.

Slughorn: What do you think caused that, Severus?

Snape: It could be the influence of Mr. Uchiha. Thanks to him, several Muggle-borns are now part of my house.

Snape: I'll need to take preventive measures, or else the other students will mistreat them - he thought.

Slughorn: Yes, it's remarkable. I suppose Mr. Uchiha is no longer the only Muggle-born in Slytherin. Let's hope this brings great change for the better.

After dinner, Dumbledore stood up to give his speech.

Dumbledore: Good evening, everyone!

Now... to our new students, welcome; to our returning students, welcome back! Another year of magical learning awaits you.

First-year students should know that the forest on the school grounds is forbidden to all pupils, and some of our older students would do well to remember that as well."

Dumbledore directed his gaze toward a corner of the room, seemingly warning certain individuals.

Dumbledore: Once again, Mr. Filch, the caretaker, has asked me to remind you all that no magic is to be used in the corridors between classes.

Quidditch tryouts will be held in the second week of term. Those interested in joining their house teams should contact Madam Hooch.

All the students exited the Great Hall and made their way to their respective common rooms. The Slytherin students arrived at the castle's dungeons, where a portrait asked: "Password?"
