Heaven Can Wait Deep Down in Your Eyes ❖ BK 2 ❖ Fred.W ❖

Chapter 5

Everyone walked into the castle and towards the Great Hall. Everyone walked over to their house tables and sat down.

Professor McGonagall walked into the Great hall with the stool and sorting hat. Professor McGonagall set the stool down and laid the hat down on the stool.

The hat then began to sing.

"A thousand years or more ago

When I was newly sewn,

There lived four wizards of renown,

Whose names are still well known:

Bold Gryffindor, from wild moor,

Fair Ravenclaw, from glen,

Sweet Hufflepuff, from valley broad,

Shrewd Slytherin, from fen.

They shared a wish, a hope, a dream,

They hatched a daring plan

To educate young sorcerers

Thus Hogwarts School began.

Now each of these four founders

Formed their own house, for each

Did value different virtues

In the ones they had to teach.

By Gryffindor, the bravest were

Prized far beyond the rest;

For Ravenclaw, the cleverest

Would always be the best;

For Hufflepuff, hard workers were

Most worthy of admission;

And power-hungry Slytherin

Loved those of great ambition.

While still alive they did divide

Their favorites from the throng,

Yet how to pick the worthy ones

When they were dead and gone?

Twas Gryffindor who found the way,

He whipped me off his head

The founders put some brains in me

So I could choose instead!

Now slip me snug about your ears,

I've never yet been wrong,

I'll have a look inside your mind

And tell where you belong!"

Everyone clapped once the song ended. Professor McGonagall then began to call the first years to be sorted. I zoned out as she called the first, first year.

Once McGonagall called all the first years, Professor Dumbledore stood up and walked to his podium.

"Well, now we're all settled in and sorted, I'd like to make an announcement" Professor Dumbledore said as the Great Hall doors opened.

"This castle will not only be your home this year, but home to some very special guests as well" Professor Dumbledore said as Filch started to run towards Professor Dumbledore.

I held in my laughter. It was funny how Filch was running.

"You see, Hogwarts has been chosen" Professor Dumbledore began, but stopped as Filch got to him.

Filch and Dumbledore started to whisper about something.

Dumbledore and Filch stopped whispering. Filch then started to run towards the doors.
