Seeing Love Differently

Sorting

Professor then stopped at a large door. He knocked twice and it opened. The hall was very crowded and noisy. But a few older students at every table shushed them and soon it was very quiet. Everyone was looking at us. I felt very nervous all of a sudden. Mei looked at me scared. I tried to smile, but couldn't. Then I saw Teddy at the Gryffindor table. He gave me a thumbs up. I slightly inclined my head then followed Professor Longbottom with the rest of the first years to the front where a hat stood on a short footstool.

Then Professor Longbottom went to a long table in front and sat down. Professor Bell then stood up. She unrolled a long piece of parchment then said,

"The sorting ceremony will start. When I call your name you must come up and place the hat on your head. It will tell you which house you will be in."

Then the hat moved and started to sing.

--one song later--

The hat finished the song and everyone except us all clapped. Then Professor Bell started calling out names. Soon we heard,

"Cheng, Mei."

Mei looked at me fearfully. I put a reassuring hand on her shoulder and pushed her foward. She walked slowly to the stool. Lifted the hat from it and sat. Then she put it on her head. The hat paused.

"Ravenclaw!"

She got off as one of the tables exploded with cheers. She simply beamed as she went toward that table. Then she looked at me and her face fell. She seemed sure that I would be in Gryffindor. Then the next person I knew...

"Montgomery, Yosef!"

He went up with shaking legs. He placed the hat on his head.

"Hufflepuff!"

another table exploded with cheers and three older boys stood up to clap Yosef on the back. Probably his older brothers. My heart was beating fast. I want to be in Gryffindor I wondered what I'd do if I wasn't. Will Mum and Dad be mad at me? Will they not accept me home for the holidays or summer?

"Nakamoto Nora"

"Gryffindor!"

As Nora walked toward the Gryffindor Table. I hoped that I will be in the same house as one of my friends maybe except Hufflepuff though. Mum says that she will be just as happy if I am put in Ravenclaw. Dad didn't care if I was put in Ravenclaw though. But they didn't ever say anything about Hufflepuff or Slytherin. All I know is that mum and dad used to get teased by a classmate in Slytherin who turned out to be one of the youngest death eaters. And the death eaters was who mum, dad, Uncle Sirius, and a bunch of people were fighting.

And I also knew that mum didn't like the fact that the Hufflepuffs won a Quidditch match in her third year. And even though that was years ago she still didn't like most of the Hufflepuffs she knew. And dad was afraid that I would have a bad reputation in Hufflepuff because when he went there, in his second year he was accused of attacking a boy named Justin. And in fourth accidentally took a Hufflepuff boy named Cedric with him to a graveyard where Voldemort's assistant, Wormtail killed him.

Before I knew it Professor Bell said with a little smile

"Potter, James."

My feet sounded loud as I walked up to the stool. Some people where whispering about my name. My dad was famous they are probably wondering if I was Harry Potter's child. I sat on the stool and placed the hat on my head. My heart was beating against my chest like a hammer. Then the hat yelled

"Gryffindor!"

I sighed with relief and took the hat off and walked to the Gryffindor table. I sat across from Teddy between Nora and a boy named Josh Harrison. Teddy beamed at me. Then turned back to watch the rest of the sorting and once Zhang, Joe was made a Slytherin, Professor Bell rolled the scroll up again and took the hat and stool away.

Professor McGonagall then stood up to speak.

"Welcome, all of you to Hogwarts. I am Professor McGonagall the Headmistress of this school. For the first years and some of the older students I will go over some school rules. There is no dueling in the corridors or hallways. No sneaking out at night unless called by one of the professor or in need of seeing a Professor. And teachers I must remind you that you must never use a spell, plant, or potion as a punishment. Now all the Professors who will teach the first years will introduce themselves. Also the Head of houses too."

"Professor Longbottom and don't you laugh at my name or you go straight to the headmistress's office. Herbology."

"Professor Bell, former Chaser of Gryffindor. Flying Coach."

"Professor Zabini, Potions master and Potions master for the Ministry as well so you better not cross the line!"

"Professor McGonagall, I am Headmistress and also teach Transfiguration."

"Professor Jones, Charms and Head of Hufflepuff."

"Professor Boot, History of Magic and pay attention or you'll miss the best fun!"

"Professor Greengrass, Head of Slytherin."

After that Professor McGonagall spoke up

"And for everyone we have a big surprise that none of you were expecting. We have a new Defense Against Dark Arts teacher!"

There was a knock on the wood of the enormous door leading to this hall. We all looked back and I gasped! I couldn't believe it!
