Chương 5: The sorting hat

"I guess I have changed part of the magical system of this world because i received my Memory Make, from now on I will have to be more careful when dealing with people, since I will not know what kind of skill they have." - thought Kael while keeping an eye on Andrea.

"Then how many people have unique abilities?" Kael asked again.

After a while thinking, the girl answered.

"More or less is one in a thousand, or every thousand newborns with magical ability, will be born one that will have its own ability." - replied the girl with a smile. "It seems that you do not know much about the magical world, your parents are Muggles?" - asked Andrea.

"I do not know, I never met my parents, I grew up in an orphanage" - answered Kael.

"I'm sorry for asking" - the girl said when listening to Kael's answer.

"Do not worry, it's not like it's a secret or it affected me." Kael answered again when he saw the sad face of the girl.

The two were silent for a long time. Time passed and so did the miles that separated them from Hogwarts. When there was a little bit of time to arrive, a student older than them, he came to tell that they need to put on their uniforms and get ready because they would arrive soon at the castle.

As in the movies, the freshmen had to go to the lake and climb into one of the small magic boats.

Luckily or unfortunately for Kael, he shared the boat with Andrea.

When they got off the boats, they were directed towards the castle. Inside the castle, they climbed some huge stairs to get in front of a door. The size of the door itself was so colossal that a giant could probably enter without problems.

Before entering the great hall of Hogwarts, just in front of the huge door, an elderly woman, was waiting for them.

"Welcome to Hogwarts young magicians, my name is Minerva MacGonagall and I am the head of the Gryffindor house. In this place you will learn all kinds of useful knowledge, whether for magic or simply for everyday life. Then, inside the great hall, you will be selected by one of the four great houses of Hogwarts. The four houses are Griffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. The selection will be made using the magical selection hat that thanks to its enchantment will know which house suits you the most. Another very important thing is the discovery of the users of unique magic. As some of you know, Hogwarts offers all kinds of help for these users. "- explained the teacher. "Follow me" - he finished saying as the huge doors opened in his path.

"I see, it seems that they want to have a record of the users of unique magic and with the excuse of helping us, they just want to keep us under surveillance. That Dumbledore as cunning as ever. "Kael thought as he followed Professor MacGonagall with Andrea and the other students.

Upon entering the great hall, all the students were left with their mouths open. The room was huge, not counting the fact of not having a roof. There were four rows of tables, where many students waited for their future housemates. Each wore the clothes belonging to their year, although some of them had a gold badge on their cloak. The badge looked like a sun.

Kael also observed his future teachers, especially Dumbledore and Snape.

"Wait here please," said the teacher. "Before starting, director Dumbledore will address some words." - she finished saying.

"I would like to say one importante thing, the new ones must remember that they should not enter the forbidden forest under any circumstances. Thanks "- finished saying Dumbledore.

"When you hear your name, I'll put on the selector hat and we will know what your home is and if you are or not user of unique magic." - said Minerva while holding her hat in her right hand.

Of all the students who took the test, Kael was only interested in those who possessed unique magic. After a time of waiting the first user of said magic appeared.

"Arthur Dale" - said Minerva while waiting for the student to climb to the platform.

"Yes" - replied the young man as he sat on the chair to start his test.

The hat began to dialogue with himself, and after a while he said.

"Full of value but also ambitious. A difficult choice, very difficult. Alright. I'll put you in Slytherin. It also seems that you are a unique magic user, so you will be entitled to receive the golden sun badge. "- It finished saying the magical hat.

Arthur, when he heard that he was a unique magic user, was happy because he did not know he was in possession of something so incredible. Kael also realized that the young man in front of him did not know anything about his own magic.

Upon hearing the verdict of the selection hat, all members of the Slytherin house encouraged the young man, especially for his magical ability.

The next one to get on the platform and impress people was Andrea.

"Andrea Knight" - said Minerva, a little excited as the Knight family had in their history the names of great magicians.

Upon hearing the name of his family, all the students and some other teacher were rigorous to see the event that can leave a mark in the story. Even Dumbledore was a little curious.

Andrea walked towards the chair and sat down quickly. The hat did not even have to make contact with her head and he said.

"Gryffindor" - shouted the hat, and without leaving much time after his scream. "Unique magic user" - finished saying.

The members of the Gryffindor house got up from their chairs and began shouting their name and surname, especially emphasizing the surname.

Andrea, without giving them much importance, got up from her chair and went to the table in her house. When he passed by Kael side, she smiled at him. What she did not expect was that the young wizard did not have the slightest bit of admiration because she was of the Knight family.

At last it was Kael's turn, who climbed onto the platform upon hearing his name.

"Kael Belserion" - said Minerva.

"So that's his last name, it does not sound familiar to me at all." Andrea said in her mind.

The other students did not pay much attention either because his last name was not known by any of them and they thought that he was simply a wizard of Muggle descent.

Kael sat on the chair waiting for the hat to be put on his head.
