Twenty-First Century Girl in the Wizarding World [ON HIATUS]

Chapter Ten

>Dracious' POV<

Professor Longbottom brought us to a small room, where everyone crammed inside.

"Better tidy up. We will be entering the Great Hall momentarily." he said.

I heard people scurrying to get their hair flattened and their faces clean. I turned and saw Remus, Dora and Ron all staring around.

" Erh... Ron... you have a bit of something on your cheek." Dora said, pointing to her own cheek.

Ron reddened and scrubbed his face furiously trying to get the 'something' off his cheek.

The door opened and there stood Professor Hermoine, her hair still brown and bushy, but nontheless neat. A smile plastered on her face, excitement shown on her face.

"Welcome to Hogwarts my dearies.I'm Professor Hermoine. We will be heading to the Great Hall shortly. So put those lovely smiles on your faces." With that she left.

" Few more minutes and we will be on our way." the presence of a small smile on Professor Longbottom's face.

My heart started pounding, the nerves were getting to me. The door opened again and Professor Longbottom entered the Great Hall.

A great hush fell upon the students in the Great Hall, all craning their necks to catch a glimpse of us.

The Great Hall was MAGNIFICENT! The ceiling just like the night sky outside, nice and clear with stars splattered all over and the moon shining brightly, lighting up almost the whole Great Hall.There was a red carpet which led to the front of the Great Hall. The four house tables on either side of the red carpet. At one end the Lion of Gryffindor, the other end the Serpent of Slytherin.

Professor Longbottom led us to the front where Professor Hermoine stood with a small smile on her face. Her eyes twinkling with excitement.

"Welcome back to Hogwarts students. and of course, welcome to Hogwarts for the new comers." she said, her eyes sweeping across us, resting on me for slightly longer then moved on. " I have an announcement to make before we get going with the Sorting. This year, the Triwizard Tournament will be held at Beauxbatons. Students who wish to watch or participate please write your names on the list on your dormitory's notice board. Also , those whose parents have already sent me an owl. Your name is already on the list. NOW... LET THE SORTING BEGIN!"

A great round of applause and Professor Longbottom conjured a three-legged stool out of thin air and placed the old tattered Sorting hat on it.

We waited and the Sorting Hat broke into a song.

Be you short or tall,

Large or small;

I am the hat

That is here to sort you all.

I am here to choose the table

Where you will be sat,

I am the Hogwarts Sorting Hat!

If you are academically able,

Hardworking, wise and smart,

Ravenclaw is where you fit the part.

If you are crafty and sly;

Always willing to reach for the sky

Slytherin is where your loyalties lie.

If you are friendly, loyal and true;

Hufflepuff is the place for you.

If you are brave

And adventure is what you crave:

Gryffindor is the home of such a knave.
