The dawn made its appearance, succeeding the next ones and bringing by train the new generation of wizards and witches, the so-called new blood. The gates of the school opened to welcome the old ones and impress the new ones who were eager to learn their house without, of course, missing the element of fear.

Her graceful demeanour enabled her to effectively manage the task of guiding and transporting the children throughout the castle. With Professor McGonagall fully occupying her responsibilities as headmistress following Dumbledore's passing, she stepped in to ensure that the students were well-informed and cared for. She welcomed the children and gave them a short introduction to their life at the school in the coming years.

<<But to graduate, we must first see which house each one will belong to. And since I mentioned it. You will find four dormitories at the school: Slytherin, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. You will enter your houses through a small test, nothing terrible. We will not make you fight dragons or trolls as an old acquaintance used to say. You will understand what I mean when we pass through this door.>>

She paused before continuing to look at the beautiful faces of the new students. Some were terrified, others were confident of the victories they were going to bring while others were excited that they managed to get this far.

She stood beside Harry and Ron when Draco approached them. It was surprising to think that her lifelong rival would not only ask her to be the best woman at his wedding but also marry her best friend. It's a testament to how unexpected relationships can evolve and how expected relationships can evolve over time.

<<I know that during our wars there have been many misunderstandings about the wizarding houses. However, I want you to know that in this school there will be no distinctions between good and bad wizards depending on their house. Our character and our choices do not depend only on our house. There have been great wizards, kind in Slytherin house, one of whom will be your teacher, as well as very brave in Hufflepuff house.>>

They entered the dining room with all the eyes of the students on the newly selected ones. They walked down the corridor, and it felt like she was back at the age of eleven when she first came to school, and the sorting hat loudly called out her house after several minutes.

<<This is the sorting hat, the little test I was telling you about. >> She smiled at them and winked playfully. <<Whatever name I call, it will come forward, I will put the hat on your heads and it will decide which house you belong to. >>

The names followed each other like a melody. Nineteen children had been placed in her house, seventeen in Ravenclaw, thirteen in Gryffindor and twelve in Slytherin. The new year was starting with a success for her house which would host the largest number of students this year. She felt so proud that she would guide so many new children this year as her teacher had done, who retired, leaving her position on one condition: only Neville would take her place.
