"I bet that lost was in order of favoritism," Manuel whispered to Iris.

Iris laughs into her hand.

"Now while you're here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you house points. Any rule breaking, and you will lose points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup," she explains.

"Make yourselves presentable, sorting will begin momentarily. Now I need to see Manuel Scamander and Iris Potter-Black-Lupin," McGonagall calls out.

The two fifth years who were standing in the back, make their way forward. Manuel almost tripping on a couple of first years.

McGonagall pulls them away from the curious first years and says lowly, "You two will be sorted first. You two will be walking in before the first years. Prepare yourselves. You'll be going in a minute."

She eyes Iris' tie and walks away. Iris who was oblivious to where her eyes were, just nodded and Manuel who was aware where the Transfiguration teacher's eyes were, he fixed her tie.

Iris eyes widened and Manuel winked, "She was eyeing your crooked tie." Iris nods and gestures towards the door.

As soon as Dumbledore saw McGonagall walk in he stood up.

"This year, we have two new fifth year students joining us," he announces.

On que, the door opens, revealing Iris and Manuel. Iris scans the crowd of students and spots Luna and winks at her. McGonagall stood next to the sorting hat, her parchment with the names rolled up.

They stopped at the front of the Great Hall and the first years were let in. Once the first years were at the front behind Iris and Manuel, the sorting hat burst into song.

"In times of old, when I was new,
And Hogwarts barely started,
The founders of our noble school
Thought never to be parted.

United by a common goal,
They had the selfsame yearning
To make the world's best magic school
And pass along their learning.

"Together we will build and teach"
The four good friends decided.
And never did they dream that they
Might some day be divided.

For were there such friends anywhere
As Slytherin and Gryffindor?
Unless it was the second pair
Of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw,

So how could it have gone so wrong?
How could such friendships fail?
Why, I was there, so I can tell
The whole sad, sorry tale.

Said Slytherin, "We'll teach just those
Whose ancestry's purest."
Said Ravenclaw, "We'll teach those whose
Intelligence is surest."

Said Gryffindor, "We'll teach all those
With brave deeds to their name."
Said Hufflepuff, "I'll teach the lot
And treat them just the same."

These differences caused little strife
When first they came to light.
For each of the four founders had
A house in which they might
