Athena's P.O.V

Through the gates, flanked with statues of winged boars and up the sweeping drive the carriages trundled swaying dangerously in what was becoming a gale. Leaning against the window I could see Hogwarts getting closer. Its many lit up windows blurred and shimmering behind the thick curtain of rain. lightning flashed across the sky as our carriage came to a halt before the great oak front doors, which stood at the top of a flight of stone steps. People who occupied the carriages in front started up the stairs into the castle.

Our group started up the stairs. We entered the torch-lit Entrance Hall. A large red balloon was about to drop on Ron's head and I said hey peeves can you do me a favor and go drop that on Blaise and his goons that are already soaked. Since they are dumb enough to mess with my family. Peeves said of course Miss Athena.

The guys all looked at me and said we are so not worthy to be in your presence. I laughed and said yes you guys are your family. They all smiled and said yes we are. Harry said it's pretty brave for you guys to go against your father's ways. Draco, Pansy and Crabbe and Goyle said you think we are brave.

Me, Harry, Jason, Ron and Hermione said yeah of course we should make sure there is extra safety measures for you guys since Harry and I can't just waltz in to the Slytherin common room. Harry said Athena might be able to seeing as she is the heir to Slytherin.

They all smiled and said thanks guys. We all smiled. I said we will talk to professor Dumbledore after Dinner okay. Draco, Pansy, Crabbe and Goyle said okay let's go in. We all nodded and walked in. Me, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Jason, Pansy, Crabbe, Goyle and Draco all walked in laughing.

We walked to our tables and hugged each other. Dumbledore and the other teachers looked at us with surprise that we all weren't trying to kill each other. We laughed and sat down. We saw there were a few seats empty. Hermione said where is the new DADA teacher. I said I don't know.

Ron was asking when how much longer i'm starving I could eat a hippogriff. No sooner than the words were out of his mouth the doors to the great hall banged open and in walked Professor Mcgonagall followed by drenched first years. I looked at Harry and smiled and blew warm wind towards them and dried them off and the professors smiled at us discreetly.
Our friends just rolled their eyes at us. Professor Mcgonagall put the hat on the stool and the tear opened up and broke into song.

'A thousand years or more ago,when I was newly sewn, there lived four wizards of renown, whose names are still well known; Bold Gyrffindor, 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 houses 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 the 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 those worthy when they were dead and gone? Twas Gyffindor who found the way , He whipped me off his head The founders put brains in me so I could choose instead! Now slip me a snag about your ears. I've never yet been wrong. I'll have a look inside your mind and tell you where you belong!

The great hall broke into applause as the sorting hat finished. That's not the song the hat sang when it sorted us, said Harry, clapping along with everyone else. Ron said the hat sings a different song every year. 'it's got to be a pretty boring life, hasn't it being a hat? I suppose it spends all year making up the next one.'
