V. Sorting Hat

It is nighttime at Hogsmeade station, the train blows its whistle and pulls into outside the station. Hagrid walks along the side aisle, with a lantern. People, in their robes, begin pouring out of the train

Hagrid: Right, then! First years! This way, please! Come on, now, don't be shy! Come on now, hurry up!

Annie and Ron, now in their robes, walk up to Hagrid.

Hagrid: Hello, Annie.

Annie: Hey, Hagrid.

Ron: Whoaa! [Amazed by his size.]

Hagrid: Right then. This way to the boats! Come on, now, follow me.

Later, a large number of boats are plugging across a vast lake, where up ahead there is a huge castle, known as the Hogwarts Castle, can be seen. People are in awe.

"I remember first time I saw it, I was mouth agape"

Ron: Wicked.

They continue on further towards the castle. Later on, the first-year students walk in the castle, and up the staircase. As the camera pans, we see on a higher level, Professor McGonagall is waiting. She taps her fingers on a stone railing, and then goes to the top of the stairs to greet the newcomers

"Minnie that you!" James and Sirius yelled excited

McGonagall: Welcome to Hogwarts. Now, in a few moments, you will pass through these doors and join your classmates. But before you can take your seats, you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherine. Now while you're here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you 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.

A scared looking boy called Neville Longbottom, spots his toad sitting near McGonagall. He jumps forward.

Neville: Trevor! [He catches his toad; McGonagall stares down at him as some of the students laugh] Sorry. [He backs away, embarrassed.]

Alice and Frank look at each other and laugh in awe of their son making their friends laugh as well

"He's just like you Alice!" comments Lily

McGonagall: The sorting ceremony will begin momentarily. [She leaves to go into the Great Hall]

"The same speech Minnie nice!" James laughs but stops when he notices the glare she sent him

A young handsome evil looking boy, with short blonde hair, called Draco Malfoy, speaks up.

"Lucius look, our son!" whispers Narcissa in her fiancé's ear

"And it starts there!" chuckled George

Draco: It's true then, what they're saying on the train. Annie Potter has come to Hogwarts. [Some of the students are heard whispering, "Annie Potter?" Draco introduces his two friends.] This is Crabbe and Goyle.

"They reproduced!" Barty laughs at the current Crabbe and Goyle

Draco: And I'm Malfoy. Draco Malfoy. [Ron snickers at his name] Think my name's funny, do you? I've no need to ask yours. Red hair, and a hand-me-down robe? You must be a Weasley. You'll soon find that some wizarding families are better than others, Potter. You don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there. [Extends his hand to Annie.]
