Jakes POV
Reaching the boats and sitting with his brand new friend , James, as they head towards the boat he felt a rush of relief over him , then the boats dock and they all get to the grand hall, it was a different feeling seeing it for yourself.
"I'm telling you Jake, if we both get into gryffindor i can tell everything i know!"
James, the enthusiastic boy said putting an arm around him as they made it to the hat on a stool.
"As i call your name, come forth to be sorted..
Rolon Evergreen?" A professor at the front called as a brown haired boy sat down still quivering.
"RAVENCLAW!" The sorting hat yelled out as the ravenclaws cheered. Others started getting sorted as more and then it was just a few more.
Both Jake and James watched for a moment, talking about which house they might get into.
"Y'know, i think you'd be in hufflepuff! It really suits you, since, you seem nice. But i still hope we're both in the same house!"
James said, slightly getting giddy about what house he might get into
"Hm? Oh,well i think you'd be in gryffindor, from what i heard they are pretty brave and stuff, and i see that in you.. and i hope we're in the same house too" Jake said nervously, and James put a hand on his chest, appreciating that Jake thinks he'd be in gryffindor. "Really? Thanks!" As more and more students were called, only 5 more students were left.
"Jake South?" The professor called out, as Jake nervously made his way to the sorting hat and took a seat, he glanced over at James, as he was smiling at him reassuringly, Jake sighed deeply.
"Oh, quite a loyal one right here, yes.. and also quite Clever as well, Very curious.."
The sorting hat pondered on, whether or not Jake should be in Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, Jake sat there, occasionally looking at James, who is talking to the few students who weren't called yet.
------------------------------------------
Five minutes pass, the sorting hat had been pondering where to put Jake, the more longer it took, the more impatient James grew, and the more anxious Jake was. Jake was fidgeting around nervously, and James couldn't help but roll his eyes, he doesn't want to seem annoyed by how long it's taking, but what's taking so long? It's not like Jake would end up in Slytherin or anything!
That was when the sorting hat had finally made it's decision, "RAVENCLAW!!" The sorting hat shouted, as the ravenclaw students clapped again, and Jake Sighed heavily again, nervously smiling at James as he passed him, and James returned the smile with a cheeky grin.
"James Fawley?" The professor called out as Jake took a seat in the ravenclaw table, sitting next to Rolon, the boy from earlier. Jake decided to make some small talk as his friend was being sorted.
"Hi! I'm Jake South, you're Rolon right? Its nice to meet you" Jake turned to face him, he slightly extended his hand for a handshake, as Rolon turned his attention to Jake.
"Oh, nice to meet you Jake, you're right, I'm Rolon." He shook Jakes Hand then letting go. "So, Jake, you know anything about hogwarts?" Rolon asked him, seemingly intrigued by it, as he looked in awe at the floating candles and the castle overall.
Jake himself also looked in awe by everything else as well, "I don't know a lot, but i heard it has, uh, Quidditch, and other stuff." Rolon tilted his head slightly "Sorry to ask, but what's Quidditch? My family isn't really wizards or witches, so this is all new to me." Rolon let out a small laugh.
"Oh, it's a wizarding sport, its basically just two teams going against eachother , and they have to try to get the most points by scoring goals." Jake paused for a moment then continued "Though I don't know much about it, it's pretty new to me as well" Jake smiled at Rolon, glad to have someone who is just as new as he is.
------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, James was being sorted, and he was still excited about which house he'd get sorted into. Then the sorting hat FINALLY yelled "GRYFFINDOR!", Jake quickly turned to look at his friend as the gryffindor table clapped , James had a smile that could only be explained as pure joy, and Jake couldn't help but laugh at how happy James is. James ran off to the gryffindor table and talked to some of the other first years, as the last few students were sorted, James started to readjust quickly to everything, he expected it all to be just like this! Even though Him and Jake aren't in the same house, he'll just catch up with him during their free time, since it'll be the easiest time for them to hang out again! And with that, the great feast started.
------------------------------------------
Jake and Rolon continued talking for a while, talking about what Hogwarts might be like, as an older student across from them started chatting with them as well.
"So you're both telling me that you haven't even heard of hogwarts, ever?" The older studemt asked curiously.
"Yeah, basically, since my mom pretty much avoided the subject, and my dad wasn't really proud of it." Jake shrugged as Rolon nodded understandingly, "And my family doesn't have the typical magic schtick, so i never knew it existed"
The older student laughed at them, and Shaked her head "Looks like you both have a lot to learn, I'm Maya by the way." Maya smiled at them, as Jake and Rolon returned the smile.
And as the feast came to an end, a ravenclaw prefect called for everyone to follow him to the common rooms to call it a night.
