(Iris POV)
The door swung open at once. A tall, black-haired witch in emerald-green robes stood there. She had a very stern face and my first thought was that this was not someone to cross. "The firs'-years, Professor McGonagall," said Hagrid.
"Wait...Minerva?" Scorpius asked looking up in surprise.
"Yes Minerva." Bella nods.
"Wow!" Scorpius's eyes were wide.
"You know her?" Tom asked.
"Yeah! She is going to be a in the same year as you. I met her and her parents at the Christmas party." Scorpius explained.
"Thank you, Hagrid. I will take them from here." She pulled the door wide. The Entrance Hall was so big you could have fitted the whole of the Dursleys' house in it.
The stonewalls were lit with flaming torches, the ceiling was too high to make out, and a magnificent marble staircase facing us led to the upper floors. I stared in wonder at the amazing hall.
"It's really cool, especially at Halloween." Scorpius says grinning
"I don't know Christmas as pretty nice looking too." Bella says shaking her head.
"Don't you go home for Christmas?" Tom asked.
"Well...I...kind of." Bella trailed off.
Scorpius looked at her curiously, but seeing that she was not going to explain, he continued.
We followed Professor McGonagall across the flagged stone floor. I could hear the drone of hundreds of voices from a doorway to the right - the rest of the school must already be here- but Professor McGonagall showed us into a small empty chamber off the hall. We crowded in, standing rather closer together than I would usually have done, peering about nervously.
"I hate it when it is crowded." Scorpius grumbled to himself.
"Welcome to Hogwarts," said Professor McGonagall. "The start of-term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into your houses. The Sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts. You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory and spend free time in your house common room.
Bella and Scorpius grinned.
"The four houses are called Gryffindor,
Scorpius smiled a bit.
Hufflepuff,
Felix nods approvingly.
Ravenclaw,
Damien smiled fondly.
and Slytherin.
Tom smirked.
Each house has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your house points, while any rule-breaking will lose house points.
They all turn to look at Tom and Scorpius.
"What?" The boys asked scowling.
"Rule breaking is right up your ally." j
James says scowling.
"Oh shut up James." Tom huffed.
"Tom." JMR says warningly.
Tom flinched. "S-sorry dad." he whimpered.
