Harry Potter: The Next Generation

The Sorting Ceremony

I walked through the doors and my mouth dropped, the inside of the castle was amazing but the only thing I could think of was that 'I'm soo going to get lost in this castle' but I'm glad I have my friends with me so we will get lost together.

As we reach the top of a set of stairs we were greeted by an older woman in green robes, glasses and a bun placed on the top of her head. She said, "welcome to Hogwarts. Now, in a few moments you will pass through these doors and join your classmates, but before you take your seats, you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Now while you're here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you points. Any rule breaking and you will lose points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup. The Sorting Ceremony will begin momentarily."

The professor left us at the top of the steps and I notice a girl with red hair up at the front so I decided to go introduce myself I told my friends to stay where they were I would only be gone a couple minutes.

"Hi. My name is Gelina Malfoy, Pureblood, my father is Draco Malfoy and he works as a healer at St. Mungos. And you are?"

"Hi, Gelina. My name is Lily Potter, half blood, my father is Harry Potter and he work as an Auror for the Ministry of magic."

"It's nice to meet you Lily"

"It's nice to meet you too."

Then the professor walked back in a told me to go back to my friends. She then said, "we're ready for you now. Follow me."

We all followed her into The Great Hall the ceiling was amazing I wonder how that worked and then Cynthia answered my question she said, "it's not real, the ceiling. It's just bewitched to look like the night sky. I read about it in Hogwarts, A History."

She told us to line up in front of a chair with a really old hat on it. I guess that's the sorting hat. Then she said, "before we begin, I have a few start-of-term notices I wish to announce. The first years please note that the dark forest is strictly forbidden to all students. Also I would like to welcome the first years to the school and hope that they will have a very fun and educated year. Now, when I call your name you will come forth, I shall place the sorting hat on your head, and you will be sorted into your houses. Hugo Weasley!"

"Ah, right then. Humm... Right. Okay, Gryffindor!" Loud cheers erupted from the Gryffindor table.

"Kimberly Holland!"

"Wish me luck." She said.

"Good luck." Leah and I replied.

The sorting hat took a while to figure out what house Kim was going to be put in but the hat finally shouted, "Slytherin!" The look on Kim's face was a look of pure joy. Slytherin was the house she wanted to be sorted into.

"Leah Payne!"

It wasn't long after they put the sorting hat on her head before it yelled, "Gryffindor!"

"Cynthia Gunning!"

Cynthia went up and sat on the stool she was there for like 5 seconds until the sorting hat finally said, "Gryffindor!"

The next three to go up was Roxanne Weasley, Lily Potter and Alice Longbottom. They were all placed in Gryffindor.

Then there was Louis Weasley, Lucy Weasley, Lorcan and Lysander Scamander who was put into Ravenclaw. And Agusta Longbottom was put into Hufflepuff.

Of course my name was last. It seems like I'm last for everything. Ohh well.

"Gelina Malfoy!"

As my name was called I went up and sat on the stool. Professor McGonagall put the sorting hat on my head, I jump when it started to speak even though I seen everyone else put the hat on. I felt like I was up there forever the hat was trying to figure out what house to put me in, the hat said I was brave like the Gryffindors, smart like the Ravenclaws, and cunning like the Slytherins. When he finally came to the conclusion he yelled,"Gryffindor!" I was relived in one sense but scared on the other because my entire family had been put into Slytherin, I was the first Malfoy to be put into Gryffindor. I would be away from my brother for most of the day where he was a thirs year, and in a completely different house. I'm just afraid of what my dad will say. But I sucked it up and went over to the Gryffindor table and sat next to Leah.

"Let the feast begin." Professor McGonagall said.

As I was eating I looked over at Scorpius who didn't have the greatest look on his face but he knew something was bothering me so he mouthed the word, 'we will talk tomorrow okay.' I mouthed back 'okay'

The prefect led us to the Gryffindor common room and I had to remember that the password was mandragora. Not really that hard if I forget I'll just ask Leah she is usually good at remembering passwords. Anyways I better get to bed the prefect said that all of our stuff was already up here so I changed and went to sleep wondering what tomorrow would bring.
