~ Hogwarts + Sorting ~

[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.

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

"Oh no!" Ron says, "Mum is going to find out what I did to Hermione."

He then shivers at the though of him mother and her screeching.

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. 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]

"WHAT THE HELL DUMBLEDORE!" Andromeda Tonks yells, outraged at how the headmaster said that.

Cries of outrage could be heard by all the adults in the hall while the professors look sheepish for not calling him out.

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]

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

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

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

[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 students cheer, not as loudly]

Ron: There isn't a witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin.

Aurora: Merlin was in Slytherin, Ron. Not all of them are as evil as they are portrayed to be.

"Do you really think so?" A third year Slytherin asks.

"Of course. My boyfriend and some of my best friends are in Slytherin." Aurora says, accidentally slipping that she has a boyfriend.

"You have a boyfriend cub?" Remus says while arching his brow, speaking extremely slowly.

"Y-yes?" Aurora says scared for Theodore.

"We will talk about this after the movie!" Remus says sternly to Aurora, while she pales.

McGonagall: Susan Bones.

[A small, redhead goes up. Aurora looks around and notices a black greasy haired, pale man, called, Severus Snape, giving her sinister looks. His scar hurts.]

Aurora: Ahh! [puts his hand on his forehead in pain]

Ron: [concerned] Aurora, what is it?

Aurora: Nothing... nothing, I'm fine.

Sorting Hat: Let's see...I know...Hufflepuff!

McGonagall: Ronald Weasley.

[Ron gulps and walks up. He sits down and the hat is put on.]

Sorting Hat: Ha! Another Weasley. I know just what to do with you... Gryffindor!!

Aurora bursts out laughing at what the hat said to Ron.

[The students cheer as Ron sighs in relief.]

McGonagall: Aurora Potter.

[Everything goes silent. Aurora walks up and sits down on the stool. The Sorting Hat is placed on her head.]

Sorting Hat: Hmm...difficult, very difficult. Plenty of courage I see, not a bad mind, either. There's talent, oh yes, and a thirst to prove yourself. But where to put you?

Aurora: [whispering to the hat] Anything that you think is good for me Mr. Hat will be fine.

Sorting Hat: Anything, eh? Are you sure? You'll be great, you know. It's all here in your head.Aurora [still whispering] Anything that is good for me Mr. Hat.

Sorting Hat: Well, if you're sure... better be... GRYFFINDOR!!

[There is an immense cheering and Aurora goes to the Gryffindor table.]

Fred and George: We got Potter! We got Potter!

[Aurora sits down at the table. She looks at Dumbledore, who lifts up his goblet and slightly waves it, as if he was wishing congratulations.]

"Well, we have learned some new things about you Miss Potter." Professor Sprout says.
