Ryan observed the stern professor looking at Harry Potter mainly, as all freshman came to a half, Hagrid said," professor McGonagall, the first years ma'am ", " thank you hagrid. I'll take it from here ", she told him while the giant walked away. She looked at them sternly and said," welcome Hogwarts".
" Hogwarts has four houses. Griffyndoor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin. Now before the feast, you'll be sorted into your houses. In your stay at Hogwarts, your house is like your family. Your triumphs and efforts earn your house points while mischief and misdeeds deducts them. At the end of every year, the house with most points wins the house cup ".
" Trevor ", the boy from the boat earlier shouted, Ryan recognised him only now. It seems to be Neville Longbottom. McGonagall gave him a stern eye while Neville shrank back and said," sorry ", he took his toad and ran back amidst the laughter of all first years.
McGonagall said," tidy up yourselves before the sorting ceremony and stay here until I arrange everything ", she then walked away. Ryan looked at the blonde boy who suddenly spoke as soon as McGonagall left," so it's true. What they at the train? Harry Potter has finally come to Hogwarts ".
Whispers started travelling among the freshman while Ryan observed Draco Malfoy, this kid must be him right? As Malfoy approached Harry Potter, the red haired boy behind Harry Potter, this must be Ronald Weasley, put on a not so good look.
Malfoy approached Harry Potter and said," I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy ", Ron laughed while Draco became displeased. " Think my name's funny? No need to ask yours. Red hair and hand me down robe. You must be a Weasley ", Malfoy didn't notice the change of Harry's expression at that moment and continued with his talk.
" Some families are better than others. You need to watch out making friends with the wrong sort will be bad. Let me help you with that ", Malfoy extended his hand proudly. Harry looked at him indifferently and said," no thanks, I think I can tell the wrong sort myself ".
Draco's expression changed while Ryan on side whistled. He found it interesting, these two form enemity at such a young age yet Draco helped Harry later during the rise of Voldemort. Malfoy looked around when he heard the whistle sound but found no one as Ryan is in the crowd.
He is going to say something offensive when McGonagall tapped him on shoulder. Hermione also nudged Ryan with her elbow and said," that's not very nice. Provoking people is a bad behaviour", Ryan shrugged. Who cares anyway, he is just going to stay like this for now.
McGonagall said," follow me ", all freshman followed McGonagall into the great hall. Ryan is amazed by the magic, the candles are floating in air, he always had doubts why the candles aren't dripping wax, but it seems they're made of some kind of special magical wax, Hermione is keep on telling him about the details in great hall.
She pointed out the ceiling and also the candles. ' she'll make a perfect magical guide ', he has to agree she has brains. As they came to a half, McGonagall stood beside the hat while it started singing a ... wierd song. As Ryan is thinking about the wierd song, McGonagall started calling names. Some are from canon while others seemed unfamiliar. At least these didn't seem to stuck much importance while seeing Harry Potter movie.
As McGonagall called his name, Ryan sat there and let McGonagall put the hat on his head. The hat moved a little and said," hmm, weird, very weird. I haven't seen anyone like you, a person who is brimming with excitement and potential yet you have the laziness of a sloth ".
Fortunately the hat didn't say it out loud. It talked to him in his mind. But the next words made him embarassed as it's spoken loudly in his mind," what? I'm dirty, you're disgusted. Boy be careful, I'm the sorting hat, what would happen if I scream Azkaban. I would like to see the reactions of everyone present. Want to give it a try? ".
Outside the hat seemed jumping in Ryan's head and furiously spinning it's pointy edge. McGonagall looked confused while Ryan is apologizing to the hat. In the end, he told the hat to send him to Hufflepuff. There he can spend his idle time but the hat had different plans.
Ravenclaw.
Ryan is stunned while the hat burst out laughing and yelled," this is for calling me dirty. Now spend your time in Ravenclaw reading books ", Ryan can only shrug, McGonagall took off the hat while his robes changed into Ravenclaw robes with the Raven emblem. Amidst the applause he walked to the Ravenclaw table.
He shook hands with some of the seniors and looked at the afk bar that almost reached completion. Maybe after the feast the afk bar will be filled. Dumbledore stood up and said," let the feast begin ", and boom there is the food on table.
Ryan started eating, he started with meat, then to the desserts. He didn't stop until he is completely satisfied. As the food disappeared McGonagall said tapping the goblet," your attention please ", Dumbledore stood up again," before you go to your common rooms I have few notices to announce. First years please note that, the dark forest is strictly to all students ".
He glanced at the Weasley twins for a moment, then said," also our caretaker filch asked me to rined you that use of magic in the corridors is strictly forbidden during your classes ", then Dumbledore said seriously," and the third floor corridor on the right side is strictly forbidden to students of every year. And those who don't want to die a very painful death is adviced to avoid the place ".
With the speech conclusion he waved his wand and a golden strip appeared. Then Dumbledore said," now let's sing ", Ryan looked blankly at the golden song and stayed in his place, he don't want to sing, what's wrong with Dumbledore? That song is too weird. And Griffyndoors, wait, why are you guys so excited? These lions are wierd especially the twins ns taking their own time to sing the song in a funeral march earning glared from the three houses as well as the professors.
