Chapter 5: Sorting Ceremony

Hagrid led the new students to a lake where there are small boats on the bank, Hagrid shouts two a boat yer hear, Each student got into a boat Edwin ended in the same boat with Hermione and had to listen to the entire history of why the have to use the boat to enter Hogwarts still.

"you see it's all part of the tradition of the school," Hermione said

Edwin was busy nodding away while looking at the cliffs and the tunnel that they are approaching it looked eerie and it was enough to stop Hermione talking for a moment " it leads to the castle" she said.

The boat land and Hagrid leads the first years up in the castle, to a room with a big door and a wide-open space with the ceiling could not being not. " seeing... in person is always better " Edwin mutters

" What did you say, " Hermione asked

" nothing "

Draco walked up to Harry and thing went according to the movie he offered to become his friend but Harry refused and stayed with Ron, Edwin was a little relieved that it was following the same path of the movie as he could remember, but what he could remember isn't a lot.

The door open to reveled Professor McGonagall who was wearing a simple black robes Professor McGonagall looked at each of the students before saying " Everyone follows me" Neville ran and grabbed a toad that was in front of Professor McGonagall " Trevor there you are "

Everyone followed Professor McGonagall to an even bigger room where they are torches lighting up the room the voices of the grand hall could be heard, a nervous expression can be seen on everyone, Edwin couldn't help but smile as his palms were getting sweaty.

" Everyone you will be sorted into one of the four houses Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin or Hufflepuff theses house will be like your family you will sleep in the dormitory and spend your free time in your house common rooms, "Professor McGonagall said " triumph will be rewarded with points and Misbehavior or rule breaking will make your house lose points, At the end of the year the house with the most points will have the house cup"

"you'll have to wait here for a moment "

One of the girls started to scream as she saw a figure coming out of the wall one of the figure spoke" My dear Fat Friar haven't we given Peeves enough chances, he's giving us ghost bad name and you know he's not really a ghost"

" Forgive and forget, I say, we ought to give Peeves a second chance"

" the fest has already started where are all of you here... oh its that time of the year new students, " Fat Friar said " hope you enter my old house Hufflepuff"

The ghost went into the gall and no one could figure out who the Fat Friar was talking to, when Professor McGonagall came back everyone walked to the front of the hall where a three-legged stool an old hat was put the hat began to sing.

"Oh you may not think I'm pretty, but don't judge on what you see, I'll eat myself if you can find A smarter hat than me.

You can keep your bowlers black, Your top hats sleek and tall, For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat And I can cap them all.

There's nothing hidden in your head The Sorting Hat can't see, So try me on and I will tell you

Where you ought to be.

You might belong in Griffindoor, Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve, and chivalry

Set Gryffindoors apart;

You might belong in Hufflepuff, Where they are just and loyal, Those patient Hufflepuffs are true

And unafraid of toil;

Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, if you've got a ready mind, Where those of wit and learning, Will always find their kind;

Or perhaps in Slytherin, You'll make your real friends, Those cunning folks use any means To achieve their ends.

So put me on! Don't be afraid! And don't get in a flap! You're in safe hands though I have none

For I'm a Thinking Cap!"

"Fred and George told me I'd have to fight a troll! " Ron said

" when your name is called come up to and put the hat on " Professor McGonagall stated

" Bones Susan"

A girl with ginger hair and freckles on her face the moment the hat was put on her head it shouted out " Hufflepuff"

With each passing student going and getting sorted Edwin was last in line, Harry was sorted in Griffindoor just like cannon and everyone else they were some students

wasn't in either the books or the movies.

" Vaclav Edwin " Professor McGonagall shout it is finally Edwin's turn with each step he took his heart beat faster and faster when Edwin arrived and put on the hat shout " what!!" after a moment the entire Hall was in total silence the teacher's including Dumbledore was shocked at the Hat's shout.

" you remember... your past ?" The hat whispered

" Something like that " Edwin replied

" Let's get this sorting started... I have my song to write" Sorting hat stated " hmm let's see you're smart, brave occasionally a bit cunning and loyal"

" Any house would suit you.. which house would you prefer ?"

" Hufflepuff " Edwin answer

" Hufflepuff?... but you could achieve great things in Slytherin or Griffindoor... real great thing"

Edwin was left silent he always wanted to be in Hufflepuff, the house which everyone is like family and looks out for everyone and help each other and have fun no, one thinks your evil or have high expectation of you the perfect house in his idea, But he taught about going in Slytherin/Griffindoor the more the Sorting hat spoke.

" Fine... it's not like I can't enjoy life in the other houses "

" if that's so... you should be a Slytherin!!" The Sorting hat shout the entire Slytherin table started to cheer, Edwin was in deep shock as he walked to his table, he had taught that the Sorting hat would have put him in Griffindoor.

At the Griffindoor table

" say George he's Slytherin," Fred said

" looks so Fred, this might be fun"

" I just knew there was something off about him," Ron said

" is being a Slytherin so bad?" Harry asked

" yeah"
