3. Sorting

"First years, this way please!"

Yeri gaped as she stared at the beautiful witch standing only ten-something yards away from her. Hell, she swore magic made witches and wizards hotter than any normal human being.

"That's Kim Hyunah, but since we're students, she's Professor Hyunah to us." Irene said as she quickly walked past Yeri and Chaeyoung, who like Yeri, was also seemingly at a loss for words. "She's the deputy headmistress; originally from Gryffindor house."

Irene checked her golden watch, which seemed to have numerous magical features in addition to telling time, which for once didn't come as much of a surprise to Yeri.

"I have to get going. Head of the Houses meeting. Good luck, you two."

Yeri and Chaeyoung both waved goodbye to the Gryffindor, and followed Kim - make that Professor - Hyunah over to the large entrance of the building.

With a swift flick of her wand, the doors opened slowly, revealing an extremely unrealistic interior to which Yeri nearly fainted upon seeing.

Staircases moved on their own and candles floated across the building. Yeri could hardly contain herself as Professor Hyunah led them over to what she called the "Great Hall".

If Yeri thought she couldn't possibly be more impressed, she was dead wrong.

The Great Hall was in fact greater than "great", with mercury glass candle holders hovering over hundreds of large mahogany tables lined up against one another. Yeri, being a math nerd, desperately attempted to calculate how many square feet the room could possibly contain, but gave up after she became dizzy from merely looking around the room.

"Take a seat at the tables to the far left." Professor Hyunah called out, somehow managing to make herself heard over the talkative first years in awe of the gigantic dining room. "You're to be sorted within a few minutes, if you'll all just be patient and stop talking-"

A loud crack was heard, along with several gasps within the group.

"Good." Professor Hyunah said in satisfaction, placing her wand beneath her robe. "I have your attention now."

"Wow, bad-ass." Yeri heard a fellow first year boy whisper among the crowd. She mentally agreed, making note to steer clear of Professor Hyunah's way whenever she could.

"Now, if you'll please keep somewhat quiet and follow the directions I've just given you, you most likely won't get expelled on your first night here at Hogwarts." Professor Hyunah said, brushing away stray dust from her robe. "You wouldn't want that, would you?"

All of the first years quickly shook their heads out of intimidation.

"Good." Professor Hyunah nodded. "Run along then."

The first years excitedly rushed over to the tables on the far left side of the Great Hall, seating themselves within groups they'd met on the train. Yeri and Chaeyoung sat themselves down next to another pair of girls; who, like Yeri and Chaeyoung, seemed to have become close on the train ride to Hogwarts as well.
