"Now before you can 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. Any triumphs will win points, any rule breaking will loose points" Professor McGonagall says.
She goes into the great hall for a moment.
"So it's true, what they're saying on the train. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts" a boy with blonde hair says.
All the first years are gasping and whispering. "This is Crabbe, and Goyle. And I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy" Draco says.
Ron quietly laughs at his name, yet Draco heard him.
"Think my name's funny do you? No need to ask yours. Red hair and a hand-me-down robe. You must be a Weasley" Draco says to Ron.
Ron looks down with embarrassment. I already didn't like Draco. Draco turns back to Harry and says "You'll soon find out that some wizarding families are better than others Potter. You don't wanna go making friends with the wrong sort."
He looks at me and Ron as he says the last part.
"I can help you there" Draco says and holds his hand out for a handshake.
"I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself, thanks" Harry says coolly.
Professor McGonagall comes back out and says "We're ready for you."
All the first years follow McGonagall into the great hall. I look up at the ceiling, which portrayed the night sky I had just seen outside. There were candles floating in the air too.
All the first years stop in the middle of the hall in a group. In front of the professor's table, there was a wooden stool with a dirty, old hat sitting on it.
"Now when I call your name, the hat will be placed on your head. You will be sorted into your house and sit at your house table" McGonagall says.
She gets a scroll out and starts reading names. "Hermione Granger" McGonagall calls. Hermione was talking to herself while walking up to the stool.
"Mental that one. I'm telling ya" Ron whispers to you and Harry. Me and Harry nod our heads in agreement.
Hermione sits on the stool and the hat gets placed on her head. There was a few minutes of silence before the hat yelled "GRYFFINDOR!"
Hermione proudly and happily walks over to the Gryffindor table and sits down. "Ronald Weasley" McGonagall calls.
Ron looks a bit nervous as he walks up to the stool. He sits down and the hat gets placed on his head.
"Ah! Another Weasley! I know just what to do with you! GRYFFINDOR!" The hat says.
Ron let's out a sigh of relief before walking over to the Gryffindor table.
"Draco Malfoy" McGonagall calls.
Draco walks up to the stool and sits down. The hat doesn't even touch him before yelling "SLYTHERIN!"
No surprise there.
"Harry Potter" McGonagall calls.
Harry walks up to the stool and sits down. The hat gets placed on his head.
"Difficult, very difficult. You're kind, not a bad mind either, brave, and ambitious. With a thirst to prove yourself" the sorting hat says.
I could see Harry mouthing the words "not Slytherin. Not Slytherin!"
"Not Slytherin, eh? You could do great in Slytherin, no doubt there. Well if you're sure. Better be... GRYFFINDOR!" The hat says.
Harry sits down at the Gryffindor table. A few other kids get sorted before McGonagall calls "Y/n L/n."
I walk up to the stool and sit down, thee hat gets placed on my head.
"Hmmm... you're very kind and fair, very smart as well. You are cunning and ambitious I see. But your bravery and strength overcomes everything else" The hat says.
Please be Gryffindor.
"Let it be.... GRYFFINDOR!" The hat yells.
I stand up and walk over to the Gryffindor table smiling. I sit next to Harry and Ron.
*After the feast*
Percy, Gryffindor's prefect and one of Ron's older brothers, leads us all to the Gryffindor common room.
"Caput Draconis" Percy says.
The lady in the portrait swings open like a door, revealing a large room filled with chairs and couches. There was a large fireplace too.
"Girls dormitories are upstairs to the left. Boys dormitories are the same just to the right" Percy says.
I walk to the dormitory that I shared with Hermione and two other girls, Lavender Brown, and Parvati Patil. I see my trunk was already sitting on my bed.
I unpack my trunk and get ready for bed. I had classes tomorrow and didn't wanna be tired.
