[She leads everyone through two large doors and into the Great Hall, where there are four long tables with thousands of students, as well as floating candles. The roof appears to be the sky.]

Hermione: It's not real, the ceiling. It's just bewitched to look like the night sky. I read about it in Hogwarts: A History.

"I read that too." Lily squealed.

[McGonagall leads the first-years to the front where the Sorting Hat lies on the stool.]

McGonagall: Will you wait along here, please? Now, before we begin, Professor Dumbledore would like to say a few words.

[Dumbledore rises from the main table.]

Dumbledore: I have a few start of term notices I wish to announce. The first years please note that the dark forest is strictly forbidden to all students.

"Yet you send students there for detention." Aurora mumbled.

"What was that?" Julianne questioned.

"Nothing." Aurora grinned, sheepishly.

"And why don't I believe you?" Julianne pursed her lips.

"Because I'm my father's daughter." Aurora grinned.

"Ofcourse you are." Julianne sighed as Sirius beamed.

Dumbledore: Also, our caretaker, Mr. Filch [shows a ragged old man, called Mr. Argus Filch, with his cat with red eyes, called Mrs. Norris.] has asked me to remind you that the 3rd floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death. Thank you.[He sits back down]

"Way to spike the curiosity, Dumbles." Theodore Nott snorted.

McGonagall: When I call your name, you will come forth, I shall place the sorting hat on your head, and you will be sorted into your houses. Hermione Granger.

Hermione: [to herself] Oh, no. Okay, relax. [She goes up]

"I was nervous." Said Hermione embarrassed.

Ron: Mental that one, I'm telling you.

"Ronald Weasley." Molly shrieked.

"I'm sorry." Ron apologies to Hermione before his mom could say anymore.

[Harry nods in agreement.]

Aurora: That's not nice Ronald.

[Hermione sits on the stool and McGonagall places the sorting hat on her head]

Sorting Hat: Ah, right then...hmm...right. Okay...Gryffindor!!

Gryffindors cheered. "The hat was deciding whether to put me in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor."

Ravenclaws frown. Hermione could've done well in Ravenclaw.

[The students cheer; Hermione jumps off with a smile.]

McGonagall: Draco Malfoy.

[Draco saunters up proudly. The tattered hat nearly freaks before touching down on Draco's head.]

Sorting Hat: SLYTHERIN!

"The hat barely touched his head." A younger student said.
