Albus Dumbledore Mon May 30, 2011 8:48 am
The grand hall was breath-taking. Thousands of lit candles floated about them. There seemed at first no ceiling, only the night sky. It was however only enchanted to look like the night sky. The teachers sat at a long table facing the students while the 2nd year and older students took seats at their own table.
Each table was decked out in their house colors and banners.
Dumbledore though most thought him the most powerful Wizard of their time, seemed anything but scary. He was smiling and waving at the students. Giving little winks here and there.
The first years would have take boats across the lake and now be lined up waiting for their names to be sorted.
Headmaster Dumbledore moved to the center to speak.
"Welcome back, to thoes who have been here before - and welcome a new to thoes who have just come. We face dark times children and I am flattered your familes saw fit to entrust your safety to us and allowed you to return. Your teachers will make themselves avaiable to you if you ever need an ear...or a lemon drop."
Thoes eyes twinkled.
"I know everyone is quiet famished, so lets get things moving. "
He motioned to a teacher who brough out a ratty looking hat when sat on the bench it opened a tear by the rim and began to sing:
You sit ready listening for my rhyme
knowing well it changes every time
Don't take light what I have to say
Listen, then be on your way.
These times are they are dark
perhaps you have seen his mark
Houses are not the only sides
In seperation, danger lies...
This year I close that door
Not Hufflepuff or Gryffindor
Ravenclaw or Slytherin
else you meet a nasty end.
This year I encourage unity
stand together in loyalty
Then perhaps, you just might
hear my song...another night.
Once the applause died down, Dumbledore spoke again.
"Now, first something out of the ordanary - we have a few new students who have transfered who will need to be sorted in"
He would call in a booming voice.
"Craft, Demitirius"
When the boy came forward he would place the hat on his head. It seemed to take a long time debating before shouting out
|GRYFFINDOR|
Dumbledore would wait for the boy to join Gryffindor table before calling the next name.
"Hirkaru, Katsumi"
Once the student sat down it would also seem to take a bit longer then normal to mull it over before the seem on the hats bill opened and it shouted.
|RAVENCLAW|
Once the student left to join their table Dumbledore spoke again.
"Shinya Satoshi"
The hat had only just settled on on their head before it bellowed.
|GRYFFINDOR|
Once that student took their seat Dumbledore turned a smiling eye on the long time of timid first years.
"Now, let the normal sorting begin - Please welcome the into your new houses with a round of applause as they are sorted."
He called several names before
"Crowe, Alecica."
When the scared child sat down on the stool and Dumbledore began to lower the hat it had hardly touched her head before shouting out.
|GRYFFINDOR!|
Dumbledore gave her a little wink before she went to her table. The sorting contiuned to everyone had been sorted.
"Now, what everyone has been waiting to hear!"
He gave a wave of his arms and the empty tables would be covered in the most delcious feast any had ever seen.
"TUCK IT!"
He said before returning to his table and sitting down eating with the staff.
