They walked into the Great hall, grinning and whispering about what house they were going to be put in. Sherlock looked around to the 4 tables surrounding him.

A long glazed table at the far end of the hall was lighting up with what said 'Ravenclaw' the banner started to be crawling with hundreds of eagles, to Sherlock's surprise the eagles swarmed out of banner and started to circle around all of the first-years, Sherlock started to turn around in circles to as to follow what they were going to do and seeing as this was a magical place, the eagles soared high into the air inches below from the ceiling, separated into 3 ways then the table from where the eagles came from, they chanted 

'Ravenclaw, ravenclaw

we promise you, we're not a bore

Ravenclaw, ravenclaw

we're the cleverest and the best

we pass all our O.W.L tests

We're Ravenclaw and we fight till the end' 

The eagles, sparked at the same time, then within a blink a large image of a blue and bronze eagle scattered through out this ginormous hall. A ear deafening applaud came from the Ravenclaw table and the other tables except from one table. Sherlock was curious on what they're name was, but he didn't have to wait for long. 

A green banner shot up into the air above their table, they all looked up and in green and silver writing it said 'Slytherin' and as if on cue they all gave a malicious grin while a silver scaled snake slithered out of the banner circling the first-years, some gave out a yelp now and then and while Sherlock held his nerve, on the snake which seemed to be sliding over his boot, he didn't dare look down. In a whisper the Slytherin table chanted

'Slytherin, slytherin

yes, that's right our snake will kill you

Slytherin, slytherin 

our hunger for power 

will make you sour

We're Slytherin and we'll fight till the end' 

The snake slid back into their banner and now with their heads sharply turned to the first-years who were forced to applaud, this terrifying scene. The next table was much cheerful. 

On the other end of the hall was a happy looking bunch of wizards, witches and dragon lords.The glazed table, shone out and the banner shot up, the name 'Gryffindor' a lion strode out of the banner, circled the first-years like the other two. And they chanted.

'Gryffindor, gryffindor

we have all sorts

Gryffindor, gryffindor

we're build to face anything

no serpent, eagle or badger can destroy us

We're Gryffindor and we'll fight till the end' 

The Great Hall broke back into a appraising applaud and the lion plodded back into his banner, while Sherlock looked at the last table, the banner was lifted off the ground and the name of this house was 'Hufflepuff' The hall broke into silence while the Hufflepuff breathed in to begin their introduction.

'Hufflepuff, hufflepuff

we're sweet and kind

Hufflepuff, hufflepuff 

we're hard workers and more

we work in unity

We're Hufflepuff and we'll fight till the end' 

Applauding very loudly next to Sherlock was a boy who looked about 14 with long brown shaggy hair sliding down his face, he caught Sherlock's eye and said 

'Bloody brilliant isn't it?' His voice was sounding hoarse, but so it wouldn't be rude Sherlock thought to respond 

'Oh yes very good, except from the creepy green table over there!' Sherlock noticed his voice beginning to raise into a shout, while the whole school was applauding the arrival of the school headmaster. 

'First-years, welcome welcome. I am Professor Ignatious Alexander Malcom Gauis 

You have already discovered that you have powers not every human being possess, even if it is a odd conversation with a dragon' a feeble laugh was given by a woman standing next to Professor Gauis, she looked like she was in her 30's, quite small, blond short hair which seemed to end at her shoulders, she was wearing a ruby coloured dress which made her seem more sophicated. 

'This is Professor Watson and she's the deputy head teacher for Hogwarts, she's also the head of Slytherin house.' The Slytherin table gave out  a whoop before being told to be quiet.
