Kapitel 18: Sorting
"It's true then, what they're saying on the train. Rose Potter has come to Hogwarts," a boy with blonde hair said while looking at Rose. This caused a series of murmurs from the other students. He started walking towards Rose, accompanied by two other rather bulky-looking students.
"This is Crabbe and Goyle, and I am Malfoy, Draco Malfoy," introduced Malfoy himself.
'Now I understand why Ron snickered, not at his name but rather at his style of talking,'
Nigel thought to himself.
Malfoy, while looking at Rose, noticed Nigel, Hermione, and Ron. He hadn't seen Nigel and Hermione before and concluded that they were Muggle-born. As for Ron, he deduced that he belonged to the Weasley family by his state of dress.
"You will soon find out, Potter, that some wizarding families are better than others. You shouldn't go making friends with the wrong sort," suggested Malfoy, looking at Nigel, Hermione, and Ron.
Before Rose could defend her new friends, they heard a chuckling sound. All the students
heard the chucking sound they turned around to see who was chuckling and saw it was Nigel Black.
Malfoy, now irritated by this, asked furiously, "What's so funny, Mudblood?"
Students who knew the meaning of the word gasped.
"Mr. Malfoy, you just suggested Rose that she shouldn't make friends with the wrong side. And I will suggest you shouldn't make enemies with the wrong person." replied Nigel.
"Ooh, what can you do, Mudblood?" Malfoy taunted.
"I'd say watch your tone, Malfoy, especially in front of me. You don't want to insult me, and if you dare, then be ready to face the consequences," warned Nigel, his tone now threatening.
Before anything could escalate further, Professor McGonagall returned and asked all the students to follow her. They entered the Great Hall, where there were four major tables for the four houses, and in front of the door was the professors' table, somewhat higher from the ground.
On the professors' table, Nigel saw Hagrid, Quirinus Quirrell, Filius Flitwick, Pomona Sprout, Sybill Trelawney, Hooch and Dumbledore, among others he didn't recognize.
When they reached the front, Professor McGonagall announced,
"When I call your name, you will come up, and I shall place the Sorting Hat on your head, and you will be sorted into your houses,"
She opened a parchment and called out, "Hermione Granger."
Hermione went ahead and sat on the stool. Professor placed the sorting hat on her head, and after some time, it shouted, "Gryffindor!"
"Draco Malfoy," Professor called next. Draco went and sat on the stool, while the hat was not properly placed beforehand. It shouted, "Slytherin!"
"Selina Malfoy," the professor called next. Selina, a girl of pale complexion, blonde hair, and blue eyes, went and sat on the stool. Professor placed the sorting hat on her head, and it shouted, "Slytherin!"
After that, many students came and went.
"Nigel Black," Professor called. Dumbledore gave him extra notice. Nigel, ignoring it, went ahead and sat on the stool. Professor placed the sorting hat on him.
'Aah, another Black. Where should I put you now? You want to change the wizarding world, want to be powerful, and wish to create your name. I know where to put you; then it should be,' the sorting hat talked to Nigel in his mind.
"Slytherin!" the Sorting Hat announced. The whole Slytherin table erupted in cheers. Nigel gave a nod to Professor and went to sit with his fellow housemates. He sat next to Selina and gave Draco a knowing smirk.
[After some sorting]
"Rose Potter," Professor called. The whole Great Hall started murmuring among themselve. Even the professors took interest in her sorting. She suddenly became nervous from all the attention, as she went to sit on the stool. The professor placed the sorting hat on her head, but before the sorting hat could fully cover her eyes, she saw Nigel smiling at her, as if he knew her position and reassured her that nothing would happen. Seeing his smile, Rose also smiled, signaling to him that she was fine and that she understood.
'Ah, another Potter, I see. Let's see where to place you... Brave, courageous, with a thirst to prove yourself,' Rose heard a voice in her head.
"Um, hello?" Rose asked quietly but outwardly, low enough for no one to hear.
'Ah, Rose Potter, not a bad mind either. But where to put you? You have the traits of Gryffindor, but there's also cunning and ambition...' the Sorting Hat pondered.
"Anywhere" Rose suggested.
'Slytherin could be a good fit for you, Rose. Ambition, determination, a thirst to prove yourself... Are you sure?' the Hat confirmed.
"Yeah, I think so," Rose muttered.
"So that should be Slytherin!" the Hat finally shouted.
This caused great hall go silent. No one expected this outcome: a Potter sorted into Slytherin, the very same Potter who defeated Voldemort.
The sudden silence caught Rose off guard. Like every other student, she thought she would receive applause, but the sudden silence felt suffocating.
But at that moment, she heard clapping. She turned her head to see who it was and saw Nigel Black once again, the boy she had met only today who had helped her in many ways.
His clapping started a chain reaction; all the other Slytherins began clapping, and soon the Great Hall was filled with chatter again.
Rose descended from the stool and quickly approached the Slytherin table, sitting near Nigel.
And so the sorting continued.
"Congratulations, Rose Potter, welcome to the snakes," congratulated Nigel.
"Thanks," Rose responded.
[Author:-Remaining sorting same goes as in original universe. I actually tried to find out but it was quite mess there were so many like unidentified name written there. That's why I left it, before mentioning same year character I will mention it.And I in my universe Blaise Zabini doesn't exists.]
Before anyone could ask anything, they had to shift their attention to Professor McGonagall, who was tapping her glass with a spoon to get the attention of all students. After she saw that all eyes were on her, she gestured to Dumbledore to speak. Dumbledore stood up, extended his arms, and said, "Let the feast begin."
With that said, food appeared on all tables. All first-years, especially the Muggle-borns who were seeing such a feast for the first time, had expressions of awe and excitement. Rose, who had chance for the first time to have a full meal, had an expression of astonishment. Seeing her, Nigel smiled and started feasting on his food, and seeing him, all the other students also began eating.
While they were eating, there was commotion because of ghosts, who started appearing from walls, tables, and the ground. Students started interacting with the ghosts and continued eating.
After everyone had eaten their share, the remaining food and utensils vanished, and desserts appeared.
And dessert also disappeared after consumption. Dumbledore stood up, and the whole hall became silent.
"As we've already eaten, I want to inform you of some rules. Firstly, the Forbidden Forest is strictly off-limits to all students, and it's better if some senior students also take care of enforcing this," he said, his twinkling eyes turning to the Weasley twins, who grinned mischievously.
"And our caretaker, Mr. Filch, asked me to remind you that performing magic in the corridors is prohibited. The Quidditch trials will take place in the second week of the session. If anyone is interested in playing Quidditch for their house, they should contact Madam Hooch. And lastly, the third-floor corridor, right-hand side, is out of bounds to everyone who wants to save themselves from the most painful death," Dumbledore announced.
Rose laughed, though she was one of the few who did. "He can't be serious, right?" she asked.
"I don't know, but he is not the type of person who makes jokes about death" Nigel gave his assumption.
"If he did anything by saying it out loud, it's to generate curiosity in the students. As they say, curiosity kills the cat," Nigel added, and Rose agreed.
"Before going to bed, we will sing the Hogwarts song," announced Dumbledore. Hearing this, the smiles of the other professors dimmed.
Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something please,
Whether we be old and bald,
Or young with scabby knees,
.....
.....
.....
"All students return to their dormitories, and first-years, follow your prefects," Dumbledore said after the song was finished.
Everyone started going, and the first-years followed their prefects.
After some turns, they arrived in front of the Slytherin dorm room. The prefect approached the door and turned to gain the attention of the first-years.
"Listen, to enter the Slytherin dormitory, students have to know the password. The password changes every fortnight, and the new password is written on the notice board," informed the prefect before loudly speaking the password.
