Sara jumped off the train, (struggling a bit, because Riley was so heavy) and went to the Great Hall. She sat down at the Ravenclaw table. "I always like the Sorting." she said. The girl next to her mumbled something. Sara glanced over at the Gryffindor table where she saw James Potter (( who is going to be James anyway?)) sitting next to his best friend, Sirius Black. ((my last name is Black also!)) They were both laughing. Sitting across from the two boys were Peter Pettigrew who looked as though he didn't get why James and Sirius were laughing, and Remus Lupin, who looked a bit gloomy. "You know," said Sara, "I never knew why Lupin disappears every month." Then she looked over at the Slytherin table, where she saw Grendle glaring at her. Sara glared back. "I hate that girl," she muttered darkly. "Who?" asked the girl next to her. "Grendle Tirebum." Sara replied. "She-" Sara was interrupted by a loud voice saying, "Let the Sorting Begin!"

//Dolores//

Dolores, seated at the Slytherin table, waited the Sorting out, politely applauding each time the Sorting Hat called out a House and the first year went to take his or her new seat. Her mind wasn't really on it as her thoughts drifted up to the dormitory, where she mentally unpacked her trunk and organized everything in their proper places. She outwardly grimaced with she imagined all the dustbunnies that would be waiting under the bed, and all the dust those silly draperies would have collected over break...

For a magic school, she thought, Hogwarts cerainly does have infinite problems. She fiddled with the tablecloth, completely unaware that thirty years from now she would be standing not far from where she sat now, making a speech detailing such problems, and how she would fix them...

//Talia//

"And then Flitwick saw me," Talia Claw was muttering, "and he was all, 'Miss Beak! We do have a dress code! No hoop earrings!' And I said, 'It's Claw. But yeah, okay... what's your point?' "

Melinde Megan Cyrly, Trinity Higgins-Lach, and Gianna Schneider all grinned. Talia then stage-whispered, after a pause to build up the suspense, "And THEN he docked ten points from Hufflepuff!"

The girls couldn't hold it in anymore. They cracked up- after all, Talia and her friends were Slytherins, not Hufflepuffs. Under any other circumstances they all would have been quite affronted at being mistaken for Hufflepuffs, but this was just amusing.

They tried to stop laughing when they saw Dolores Umbridge glaring from down the banquet table and hissing, "Shut up!" but this was so comical that it simply wasn't possible.

((Grah, the six key is too far from the one key. I actually have to *move* my hand now. /laziness

Also, for purposes of, well, convenience can I move Adela to Slytherin? otherwise she'll probably end up left in the dust. This will, of course, basically nullify my first post but I don't care. Slytherin's more fun anyhow.))

Bellatrix Black, unlike her classmates, paid close attention to the Sorting. Rather, she paid close attention until "Black, Narcissa" was Sorted safely into Slytherin house, at which point she was more interested in holding a muttered conversation with her fair-haired baby sister.

"How was the boat ride?" Bellatrix whispered.

Narcissa considered a moment before answering, simply, "Wet. And that great oaf of a caretaker wouldn't shut up."

"Mm. He does that, unfortunately. Why Dumbledore keeps him around I will never know." She sighed.

After a pause, "Bella?" 

"Mm?" Bellatrix glanced up from the fork she had been fiddling with. 

Narcissa's eyes were wide. "I'm scared."

Bellatrix snorted. "Of what?"

"What if I get detention? What if the teachers don't like me? What if I lose fifty points?" The girl yanked anxiously on a lock of blonde hair as she spoke.

Her older sister snorted. "First off, Cissy, I'm the problem child, not you, but I still managed to get Head Girl. And second, you can charm Aunt Walburga into letting you get away with murder. Your teachers'll be eating out of your hand by Christmastime."

Narcissa still looked half-terrified but she nodded. "Ok."

Dolores Umbridge, sitting a few seats away from them, tutted disapprovingly in their direction.

"Now, now, dear," Bellatrix said sweetly, donning an innocent expression. "I'm the Head Girl, you know, not you."

Dolores scowled and turned back to the sorting. Bellatrix smirked and grinned at her sister.

Ainsley peered down the table at the group of tittering Slytherins, not bothering to shut them up, because nobody bothered to listen to the headmaster's speech anyway. Instead, she summoned her small black owl Petry to her shoulder and whispered something in his ear. Then, she shot down the table to all of the fifth and above ears that could hear, with a sneer on her face, "Oy, I'm planning something...fun...for the underclassman. After the feast. It's going to be a load. Who's with me?" she hissed. There was a babble of murmured agreement and excited laughter as the speeches continued.

Hannah Tyler sat at the Ravenclaw's table watching the frightened children sit on the stool, their eyes bugging out when they saw the sorting hat being placed upon their head by professor mcgonnagal. Hannah remembered when she was sorted. The huge Great Hall, not so huge anymore is it? Hannah thought to herself. Two years had passed since she got her letter, went to Diagon Alley to buy her things, then boarded the Hogwarts Express to await the sorting. "Abigail Williams!" Hannah jolted out of her daydreaming at the sound of McGonnagal's voice. "Ooh, i just love watching the sorting, don't you?" Hannah heard a daydreamy voice say beside her. She looked to her right to see a girl who looked about fourteen or so. She had waist-length straggly blonde hair, and protrudingt eyes that made her look surprised. She wore radish earrings and a necklce of butterbeer caps. This must be Luna Lovegood.

((We're in the Marauder era, with Lily, James, Sirius... Bellatrix... so Luna wouldn't have been born yet. Xenophilius might've been in school, though.))

Um, don't mean to be nitpicky, but this is Marauders era (Harry's Parents). Luna Lovegood isn't alive yet. You could change the name and have it be Luna's mom?

Cara sighed in relief as she sat down at the Ravenclaw table. They went in alphabetical order, and she was the first to be sorted. The "RAVENCLAW" still rang in her ears from when the hat had shouted it... oh, there went Noel... "RAVENCLAW"! Noel came and and sat down beside her, looking a little shell shocked. A Gryffindor, a Slytherin, two Hufflepuffs, then, "O'Malley, Misty", and Cara recognized the girl who had come into their boat just before it nearly tipped. "RAVENCLAW"! Soon, The Sorting was over, and the Headmaster clapped his hands. "Let the feast begin!"
