The Secret Of Hogwarts

Chapter 4

"No more than four to a boat!" Bizzaro called pointing the fleets of boat by the shore

Damian and Jon claimed one boat, few others who tried to join them were scared off by the death glares and glowers Damian was giving them. But to Damian's misfortune Bizarro joined them giving both of them a big toothy smile, which Jon returned.

"Forward! " Bizzaro hollered,and the boats started gliding smoothly in lake, Damian was a little bothered about the boat tipping under Bizzaro's weight. He would kill the giant if they drowned in the lake. Todd won't be happy about it but, who cares.

They passed through a tunnel full of ivy to an underground harbour. As soon as they clambered off, Bizzaro knocked on the door which swung open at once.

"These are the first years, professor Prince, " Bizzaro said to the witch who stood there

Diana Prince,head of Gryffinddor,teacher of potions in Hogwarts,she was also another friend of Bruce."I will lead them from here, thank you."

She turned around with a "follow me". She led the students to small empty chamber.

"Welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Before we head to Great Hall for start-of-year banquet there are a few things I would like you all to know. Every individual would be sorted in your houses,their names are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin . Your behaviour and discipline will earn your house points and any misbehaviour will lose them. You should also know that you are free to change your seats to sit and mingle with other house in the on exception of start of the year and end of the year meal."

"Any questions?" she asked scanning the faces of the first years,her eyes lingered on Jon and Damian a second more. None came,"Good. Make a line and follow me."

They all scrambled in a line. Damian and Jon almost at the end of. They all followed her to the Great Hall.

The Great Hall was illuminated brightly by the floating candles hovering over the four long tables where rest of the students eyes followed the first years. Damian spotted Dick,Kory and Stephanie sitting side by side, Dick beamed at him and gave him a tiny wave. Damian rolled his eyes nevertheless gave a minute smile. On the next table Tim was looking bored out of his mind, similar to Jason and Artemis.

At the top of the hall there was another long table where all the teachers were sitting.Proffesor Kent smiled with a nod.

Professor Prince put a three legged stool and a pointy hat on top of it as everybody knew it it was the sorting hat . Damian tuned out of the song of the hat in the middle as he knew all the qualities of the hat very well. His gaze went to the high table where the teachers sats. Bizzaro was sitting at end of the table along with Hagrid. He recognised most of the teacher ,Barry Allen, John Jonzz, Clark kent, Zatara,Selina Kyle, Ginny Weasley among a few others and in the middle high chair the head mistress of Hogwarts,Minerva McGonagall.

The whole class clapped their hands as the hat finished its song and went silent after bowing to each table. Professor prince started calling names of the parchment.

"Harrington,Beckett"

A boy with curly black hair rushed to take the seat and Professor Prince placed the hat on his head. The hat remained silent for a while, before shouting loud and clear that could be heard from every corner of the Hall.

"RAVENCLAW"

Cheers came from Ravenclaw and the boy joined them on the table.

"Mehra, Maya, " An Asian girl strode to the stool.

"SLYTHERIN" The hat shouted.

Cheers erupted from Slytherin table.

This went on and on. Professor would call their names and the hat will shout their house.
