The Sorting
Starts off right where we left off. No copyright intended, all rights go to J. K. Rowling, the queen of books, and Warner Bros. Let's get started then!
Rose
Albus and I hopped off the train soon after Scorpius left the compartment.
"Firs' yrs, o'er here" Hagrid yelled over the crowd.
"Hello Hagrid." I yelled back.
"Hello Rosie." He responded
He then led us to the lake and we got into the boats. Albus and I had a boat to ourselves until someone else decided to join us.
"Weasley."
"Malfoy."
"What do you want, Malfoy?" Albus asked. I didn't know how he could say it so nicely.
"I'm joining your boat, Potter, every other one is full." Malfoy replied.
I grumbled as he got into the boat. Albus elbowed me. The boats started moving and soon we were in the Hogwarts Great Hall. Uncle Neville walked in just as Hagrid went into the Great Hall.
"Welcome all of you to Hogwarts, the sorting ceremony is just about to begin so follow me."
We all followed him into the Great Hall.
At the front of the hall, there was a wooden stool with a very old and tattered hat with a slit right across the middle, sitting on it. Neville picked the hat up and had a scroll in his hand.
"When I call your name please come sit on the stool to be sorted." Neville told us. Last names A-K were called.
"Longbottom, Alice"
A skinny girl walked up to the stool nervously and looked at Neville as she sat down. Neville had the biggest grin on his face. This was his daughter, I knew, since my parents had been friends with him since they were our age, and they came over for dinner often. I knew they lived in Hogsmeade and that his wife, Hannah Longbottom (née Abbott), was the bartender at the 3 broomsticks.
"GRYFFINDOR." The Sorting Hat yelled out to the Hall. The entire Gryffindor table cheered and she jumped off the stool and gave her dad a big hug before sitting down at her house table.
More names were called until Neville said:
"Malfoy, Scorpius."
Malfoy walked slowly up to the stool and sat down. Not too long later the Sorting Hat yelled "SLYTHERIN" as everyone had expected the hat would. He stepped down off the stool and walked slowly over to his new house's table looking crestfallen. Before I could think why, Albus' name was called. He sat down in the stool looking very hopeful and very nervous also. After the Sorting Hat talked things over with Albus he yelled "SLYTHERIN." Nobody spoke for a good minute, the famous Harry Potter's kid was in Slytherin! No one had seen that coming. After a long minute of awkward silence the Slytherin table started to cheer, "POTTER, POTTER!!" I was stunned. My best friend, my cousin, was in Slytherin! I didn't know what to think. I didn't have much time to think either because Uncle Neville yelled:
"Weasley, Rose."
I walked up to the stool hoping, beyond hope that I would be in Gryffindor. Neville placed the Sorting hat on my head and it fell slightly over my eyes and everything went black.
Another Weasley! How many are left?! Anyways, you have a good mind, Ravenclaw maybe, not Hufflepuff, no, not Slytherin either, it's between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw I say.
"Gryffindor, please be Gryffindor," I plead quietly.
"GRYFFINDOR," the Sorting Hat yells for all to hear.
I sigh, yes Gryffindor, I think. I run over to my table with a huge grin on my face. I get hugs from all my cousins and high fives from some new people I don't know yet.
After the Sorting ceremony Professor McGonagall stands up and welcomes all the students and tells us about the rules and curfews.
"Let's eat," she bellows to the hall. As soon as she said that food appeared on the plates and everyone enjoyed the feast. After the feast, the prefects showed us to the Gryffindor common room and our dormitories. I was bunked with 3 other girls my age.
"Hi I'm Harlee," said a girl with long, blonde hair and dark brown eyes.
"I'm Taylor," said a girl with short, straight, dark brown hair and light green eyes.
The other girl was Alice Longbottom, who I of course already knew but she introduced herself to the other girls. She had dark brown hair, that was wavy and slightly bushy like mine was. Her eyes were green like Uncle Neville's were. I unpacked my trunk into the set of drawers we were given and then went straight to sleep so I was ready for my first day at Hogwarts.
Thank you for reading and please comment and view!! I will do the next one sometime next week or sooner if I have time.
