Y/N's POV:
Before we got into the castle, Hagrid made all the first years follow him. We had to divide each other into groups of two and pick a boat; obviously, Ginny and I got together in one. The lake we went over was dark, as black as the colour itself could get. Only the lights on the boats we sat in gave a small dim to make it possible to look through the first inch of water and then also find black and only black. Although I did see a glimpse of a tentacle flow by in the corner of my eye.
After we had our little trip, we were taken into the castle, where a woman with an emerald-green witch hat stood in front of us. ''I am Professor Minerva McGonagall, I give transfiguration, I am the head of Gryffindor, and I am the Deputy Headmistress." Welcome to Hogwarts, the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. When I open these doors, you will all follow me to the front of the grand hall. I will call up your name, and you will be sorted into one of the four houses: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff.'' We all nodded at the witch before she turned around, opened the door, and walked to the front.
A gigantic room filled with candles in the air, floating, and a ceiling looking like there wasn't one with a beautiful night sky placed on it. On each side of me, two gigantic tables that filled the whole room were placed on the ground with hundreds of students sitting on them. Everyone looked at us, whispering about who would get placed where. ''That must be a Weasley, again? How many kids are there? '' ''I don't recognise her; I think she's from a muggle family. '' ''That's definitely a Ravenclaw!''
McGonagall stood next to a chair with an old, brown witch hat on it. She cleared her throat, and it almost seemed like the hat woke up, looking up and sighing. ''Welcome, new students of Hogwarts! As you might have heard, I will sort you into a new house, but not before I've performed a song for you all.'' The man cleared his throat and began to sing:
One thousand years ago this story starts
There were four sorcerers with strong and kind hearts
Bold Gryffindor from wild moor
Fair Ravenclaw from glen
Sweet Hufflepuff from valley broad
Shrewd Slytherin from fen
They had a dream to teach all that they knew
Witches and wizards came far and it grew
'Til a castle stood tall by the shores of a lake
And a thousand years later the magic remains
Old Hogwarts Sorting Hat sing me a song
Speak in my head tell me where I belong
And when things look bad and there's no where to run
Unite all the houses and we'll fight as one
Brave Godric Gryffindor favoured the strong
Those who had courage and knew right from wrong
And Rowena Ravenclaw taught only the best
So kind Helga Hufflepuff would teach all the rest
But Salazar Slytherin had is own plans
He thought the Muggle-borns didn't understand
The subtleties of magic and so he devised
The Chamber of Secrets with a monster inside
Old Hogwarts Sorting Hat sing me a song
Speak in my head tell me where I belong
