"Minnie!" I exclaimed, before realizing this might not be the time for nicknames. I covered my face with my hands as I blushed scarlet. I heard a soft chuckle and slowly peaked out from the spaces between my fingers. She had a very stern expression on her face, but her eyes twinkled at me as she struggled to maintain her composure. 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NJcvXbbtk

"Thank you, Hagrid. I will take them from here." She pulled the door wide. The entrance hall was so big you could have fit the whole orphanage in it. The stone walls were lit with flaming torches like the ones at Gringotts, the ceiling was too high to make out, and a magnificent marble staircase facing them led to the upper floors. 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwyFPA4XEY

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 there but Professor McGonagall ushered us first years into a small, empty chamber off the hall. 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRswEaDlafr

"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. The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. 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. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup, a great honor. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours. The Sorting Ceremony will take place in a few minutes in front of the rest of the school. I suggest you all smarten yourselves up as much as you can while you are waiting." Her eyes lingered for a moment on Neville's cloak, which was fastened under his left ear, and on Ron's smudged nose. I noticed Harry nervously trying to flatten his hair and thought he was fighting a lost battle.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WWSd4TSyN

"Some sort of test, I think. Fred said it hurts a lot, but I think he was joking." My heart gave a horrible jolt. A test? In front of the whole school? But I didn't know any magic yet. What on earth would we have to do? I hadn't expected something like this the moment they arrived. I looked around anxiously and saw that everyone else looked terrified, too. 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9R7NfPGkH

"What the...?" I gasped. So did the people around me. About twenty ghosts had just streamed through the back wall. Pearly-white and slightly transparent, they glided across the room talking to one another and hardly glancing at us. They seemed to be arguing. What looked like a fat little monk was saying: 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9T8h1E86X

"My dear Friar, haven't we given Peeves all the chances he deserves? He gives us all a bad name and you know, he's not really even a ghost...I say, what are you all doing here?"

"Move along now," said a sharp voice. "The Sorting Ceremony's about to start." Prof. McGonagall had returned. One by one, the ghosts floated away through the opposite wall. "Now, form a line," she told us, "and follow me." 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagMPf9v1t5

Harry and I got into line behind a boy with sandy hair, with Ron behind us, as we walked out of the chamber, back across the hall, and through a pair of double doors into the Great Hall. 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0n2HeP9v9

I felt my jaw drop as a stared around with wide-eyes. It was lit by thousands and thousands of candles that were floating in mid air over four long tables, where the rest of the students were sitting. These tables were laid with glittering golden plates and goblets. At the top of the hall was another long table where the teachers were sitting. Minnie led us up through the center until we came to a halt in a line facing the other students, with the teachers behind us. 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA4wsTk5PF

The hundreds of faces staring at me looked like pale lanterns in the flickering candlelight. Dotted here and there among the students, the ghosts shone misty silver. Mainly to avoid all the staring eyes, I looked upward and saw a velvety black ceiling dotted with stars. I nudged Harry and whispered, "Its bewitched to look like the sky outside. I read about it in Hogwarts, A History." 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyKJZGhUt2

It was hard to believe there was a ceiling there at all, and that the Great Hall didn't simply open on to the heavens. I quickly looked down again as Prof. McGonagall silently placed a four-legged stool in front of us. On top of the stool she put a pointed wizard's hat. This hat was patched and frayed and extremely dirty. Everyone in the hall was now staring at the hat, so I continued to stare at it too, unsure of what was supposed to be happening.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ3tx1b80o

"So we've just got to try on the hat!" I heard Ron whisper to Harry. "I'll kill Fred, he was going on about wrestling a troll." I smiled weakly. Yes, trying on the hat was a lot better than having to do a spell, but I wish we could have tried it on without everyone watching. The hat seemed to be asking rather a lot; I didn't feel brave or quick-witted or any of it at the moment. If only the hat had mentioned a house for people who felt a bit queasy,that would have been the one for me. 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1Ta3MJCeF

Hmm," said a small voice in my ear. "Difficult. Very difficult. Plenty of courage, I see. Not a bad mind either. There's talent, my goodness, yes...and a nice thirst to prove yourself, now that's interesting....So where shall I put you? You're so much like your mother and grandfather, but then again, you share your fathers blood and so many of his talents. And yet, even with all the potential for power, you are so very much like a Hufflepuff... and smart as a Raven...hmmm....where to put you, where to put you..." 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87iPCyrpQi

I gripped the edges of the stool in anticipation as the hat continued to sift through my brain searching for answers. I sat there, my eyes gazing up at the brim of the hat just waiting...and waiting...and waiting. I don't know how long I sat there, but with each passing minute my face grew redder as my fear came true and soon my eyes were beginning to tear up. I stared furiously at the wall straight ahead, determined not to fall apart in front of this large crowd of strangers. 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuV3LxivsI

"HUFFLE...No that's not right" the hat muttered as it stilled again....what? I stared up at Minnie in confusion but it was clear she nor anyone else in the room had ever heard the hat change its mind before halfway through. Whispers broke out all over the hall and I just continued to stare at a tiny spot on the wall. My face was so hot by now that I'm sure I looked redder than a tomato. Another ten minutes went by before I felt the brim open wide again. I sucked in a deep breath...369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUthlerjemz

"RAVENCLA....No , no that's not right either...." Then came the longest pause of them all. I shifted uncomfortably as I heard people start to complain about hunger and boredom. Why me! Why oh why did this have to happen to me of all people?369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2R3wLgOAW

After what felt like more than half an hour the Hat finally straightened up and began to talk again. I didn't dare react this time, I had a sinking feeling that I was never going to get sorted.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7pAZiBsxQ

"No THAT's not right either your way to much of a Gryffindor to be in Slytherin...girl! What the bloody hell am I supposed to do with you?!" the hat said not bothering to whisper anymore. I could tell that everyone had heard this last comment.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrroEVpaNBM

"Kat, dear, do you mind giving me a chance to talk to the hat for myself? I'm sure we can get this cleared up soon enough." I heard Minnie say to me as she kindly helped me off the stool and took the hat off my head. Without another word, she placed the hat onto her own head. Her brows furrowed and I could tell that she was having a conversation with it.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0sgzm2Z5Q

The whole hall sat and watched in silence and I just stood there like an idiot not knowing what to do. Suddenly, Minnie whipped the hat off and strode over to where Albus Dumbledore sat. She placed the hat on his head as she leaned down and whispered into his ear.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbxe1iAlNm

This was all too much for me. I plopped down onto the top step and knowing full well that every student was watching, burst into tears. This was so embarrassing! What was gonna happen now?

"Let the feast begin" he said beaming at the students, his arms opened wide, as if nothing strange had just happened. I had looked up when I heard his voice and gasped as I watched the dishes along the tables instantly fill up with food. I had never seen so much to eat on one table before: roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops and lamb chops, sausages, bacon and steak, boiled potatoes, roast potatoes, fries, Yorkshire pudding, peas, carrots, gravy, ketchup, and, for some strange reason, peppermint humbugs. It all looked amazing, but I couldn't enjoy it like everyone else was. My appetite had disappeared the minute I had put that stupid hat on my head.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETjbAq5peV

"Of course not Kat! We'll figure this out after dinner, for now just relax and have some food. Here, you can sit next to me and Prof. Snape. How does that sound?" Minnie said soothingly as she walked me over to the staff table and conjured up an extra chair next to one of the professors.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxNXRu4CjN

I slowly started to make my way through the plate of carrots, lamb chops, boiled potatoes, and gravy as I managed to stop crying. I took a large gulp from the goblet in front of me and before I knew what was happening, I let out a loud hiccup. I gasped and covered my mouth hoping no one heard. I was not so fortunate, however. I heard a quiet chuckle come from my right.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyQNHVfIXg

"No worries, little one!" he said still chuckling under his breath. "It'll be our little secret." It happened so quickly I wasn't sure if I had seen right, but I think he winked at me! I blushed and looked down at my plate. Today was turning out to be just the greatest day ever. 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXIbPN6C2T

I still wasn't very hungry but I never wasted food so I steadily ate on until I had finished what was on my plate. I still finished earlier than everyone else and yawned as my body told me it was time for sleep.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurdbbgVTC1

I was starting to feel warm and sleepy towards the end of the meal and took a break from the conversation. I looked up at the High Table instead. Hagrid was drinking deeply from his goblet. Professor McGonagall was talking to Professor Dumbledore and Professor Quirrell, in his absurd turban, was talking to a teacher with greasy black hair, a hooked nose, and sallow skin. I noticed his left arm was bent oddly and it was only after I stared long enough that my sleep-filled brain registered Kat's small body asleep next to him as his arm wrapped around her protectively. 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDHNrm2QuS
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8ER3SDnxR
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFqKKu0KYE
It happened very suddenly. The hook-nosed teacher looked past Quirrell's turban straight into my eyes...and a sharp, hot pain shot across the scar on my forehead. 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC2Wt7Sqj7

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2JlnbfIVz
"N-nothing." The pain had gone as quickly as it had come. Harder to shake off was the feeling I had gotten from the teacher's look - a feeling that he didn't like me at all. 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui55xFfn4m

"Oh, you know Quirrell already, do you? No wonder he's looking so nervous, that's Professor Snape. He teaches Potions, but he doesn't want to - everyone knows he's after Quirrell's job. Knows an awful lot about the Dark Arts, Snape." I continued to watch Snape for a while, but Snape didn't look at me again. 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmScPrblfXw

At last, the desserts too disappeared, and Professor Dumbledore got tohis feet again. The hall fell silent."Ahem - just a few more words now that we are all fed and watered. I have a few start-of-term notices to give you. First years should note that the forest on the grounds is forbidden toall pupils. And a few of our older students would do well to remember that as well."Dumbledore's twinkling eyes flashed in the direction of the Weasley twins."I have also been asked by Mr. Filch, the caretaker, to remind you all that no magic should be used between classes in the corridors. Quidditch trials will be held in the second week of the term. Anyone interested in playing for their house teams should contact Madam Hooch. And finally, I must tell you that this year, the third-floor corridor on the right-hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a very painful death." 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucQU3udkiv

"Must be," said Percy, frowning at Dumbledore. "It's odd, because he usually gives us a reason why we're not allowed to go somewhere - the forest is full of dangerous beasts, everyone knows that. I do think he might have told us prefects, at least." 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2VSH4NFmX

The other first years and I followed Percy through the chattering crowds,out of the Great Hall, and up the marble staircase. My legs were like lead again, but only because I was so tired and full of food. I was too sleepy even to be surprised that the people in the portraits along the corridors whispered and pointed as I passed, or that twice Percy led us through doorways hidden behind sliding panels and hanging tapestries. 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrcSZUxLSi

We climbed more staircases, yawning and dragging our feet, and I was just wondering how much farther we had to go when we came to a sudden halt. A bundle of walking sticks was floating in midair ahead of them, and as Percy took a step toward them they started throwing themselves at him. 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3rZ006Uwr

A loud, rude sound, like the air being let out of a balloon, answered. "Do you want me to go to the Bloody Baron?" There was a pop, and a little man with wicked, dark eyes and a widemouth appeared, floating cross-legged in the air, clutching the walking-sticks. 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBbxdS3f5b

"Go away, Peeves, or the Baron'll hear about this, I mean it!" barked Percy. Peeves stuck out his tongue and vanished, dropping the walking sticks on Neville's head. We heard him zooming away, rattling coats of armor ashe passed. "You want to watch out for Peeves," said Percy, as they set off again." The Bloody Baron's the only one who can control him, he won't even listen to us prefects. Here we are." 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnldu3F9JfH

"Caput Draconis," said Percy, and the portrait swung forward to reveal a round hole in the wall. We all scrambled through it - Neville needed a leg up - and found ourselves in the Gryffindor common room, a cozy, round room full of squashy armchairs. Percy directed the girls through one door to their dormitory and the boys through another. At the top of a spiral staircase - we were obviously in one of the towers - we found our beds at last: five four-posters hung with deep red, velvet curtains. 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yo5UZdNuo

"Great food, isn't it?" Ron muttered to me through the hangings."Get off, Scabbers! He's chewing my sheets." I was going to ask Ron if he'd had any of the treacle tart, but I fell asleep almost at once.
