Muggleborn

Chapter Three

The double doors opened to reveal McGonagall. She asked us to follow, so we did. She stopped us Iin front of another big door! "Now. My name is Professor McGonagall. I'm a few minutes you will be sorted into your houses. There names are Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Your house will be awarded points for good behavior and points taken away for bad behavior. At the end of the year, the house with the most points will be given the house cup! Let me go see if they are ready." She walked through the doors. "Esto debe ser divertido, Lily (this should be fun, Lily)." I said to her. She looked at me confused. "What?" I realized I spoke Spanish. "Oh, sorry. When I'm nervous or scared, I speak Spanish without knowing. I said 'this should be fun'." She smiled nervously. "Yea, it should."

We talked for a while, then McGonagall came out. "There ready for you." She smiled, and waved her hand for us to follow. We enter the 'Great Hall', as Lily had told me, there was a starry sky and floating candles. There were four tables, that I assumed were the house tables. And another row infromt with, I guess, teachers. We all stopped at the bottom of the stairs. There were only 4. "When I call your name, you will come up and I will place the sorting hat on your head and you will be sorted." Oh, I just noticed the hat. Wow.

"Malfoy, Scorpius! - Slytherin!"

"Weasley, Rose! - Ravenclaw!"

"Weasley, Hugo! - Gryffindor!"

"Potter, Albus! - Gryffindor!"

"Potter, James! - Gryffindor!"

"Potter, Lily! - Gryffindor!"

"Jackson, Annabelle!"

I slowly made my way up to the stole. I sat down and the hat was placed on my head. I glanced at my friends and they gave me a thumbs up. 'Hmmm, loyal and kind, but very smart.' I guess the hat said. 'Far to kind for Slytherin. Very, very brave indeed.' I looked back to my friends. And mumbled, "Please, please, please. Gryffindor!" I closed my eyes. 'Gryffindor? Your brave enough to ask. Yes.' It was silent, before yelling so everyone can hear. "I choose, Gryffindor!"

I made my way down to the Gryffindor table, to be engulfed I'm hugs and meeting new people. "I can't believe Rose is a Ravenclaw! Though, I should have excepted it. She's very smart. She's not brave at all!" I looked up at Hugo. "Shhh, there's one more!"

"Snape, Mary!" Whispers broke out everywhere. "Gryffindor!" Everyone at the table clapped, and up at the teachers table, a black haired man was clapping and smiling at the girl. She came and took the seat beside me. "Lily, why was everyone whispering when her name was called?" I whispered to Lily when the food appeared. "Because, that man up there, with the black hair, was our dads -Harry- teacher. And when he fought our dad, he wasn't married, or seeing anyone. So people were surprised he had a kid." She whispered back. "Oh." Was all I could manage. "Yea."

After all the food was gone, and the desert to. The Prefects were told to take us back to our dormitories. "Watch out for the stairs, they like to change!" Yelled our Prefect, Perce. He was the son of Percy.

Once we arrived to the "Fat Lady" he told the password, Pigsnot, and we walked in. I made a mental note to talk to her. She seems nice. We headed off to bed after that.
