Fred and licked his hand and smoothed his hair out, George did the same. All Amy did was brush dirt off her robes and I tightened my ponytail. "We're ready for you, please form a line" said Mcgonagall and we all did what she said. There were some screams as pale, transparent looking people flew into the Great Hall with us.

They were chattering amongst themselves as they flew to each of the tables that were spread across the room. I gasped as I looked around the hall, it was very tall and the ceiling showed what the weather was! It was very wide and had marble staircases just like at Gringrotts when Amy and I visited it to exchange money.

"When you hear your name, come up and sit on this stool" said Mcgonagall. "Ashton, Paisley" she called out, I guess I'm first.... I thought. I walked up and sat on the stool, I felt a hat come on my head as it covered my eyes. "Hmmm, great courage, a pure heart of gold, yes, but.... you would fit well in Slytherin..." said the sorting hat in my ear.

I've heard about Slytherin and I dont see what's wrong with it, but I've also heard how bad of a reputation it carries. "Hufflepuff" I whispered. "HUFFLEPUFF!" The hat boomed and I jumped a bit.

The hat was lifted off my head and I saw a table clapping and cheering for me as I hopped down. It took some time until it was Amy and the twins but we got there. "Weasley, Fred" said Mcgonagall.

The hat stayed on for some seconds until he screamed Gryffindor, same with George. Now it's Amy's turn. The hat whispered in her ear for some time like me and boomed, "HUFFLEPUFF" like me.

"Well done Amy!" I cheered to her. "Thank you, ah! This is exciting!" She squealed. "Oh but it's sad that George is at Gryffindor, we were going so well!" She sighed. "That doesn't mean we have to stop talking to Fred and George" I smiled. She smiled back as we dug into our feast.
