Harry Potter

I drummed my fingers nervously against the table in the Great Hall. Ron and Hermoine were talking across from me and Ginny held my hand beside me. McGonagall was trying to calm everyone who was shouting and asking why the first years weren't there yet. As if on cue, a considerably smaller group of kids than last year entered the hall. Once the door closed behind them, the sorting began and I noticed that the exchange students weren't there yet.

"And now, an announcement," McGonagall said once silence settled in. "This year we have begun accepting exchange students. I would like to introduce to you, the nine students we have accepted from America!"

Instead of the students, Hagid came in and paced to the high table. "M'Gonagall, it's, uh, one o' the exc'ange students--" he started before a loud bang interrupted him. I snapped my head to see the door, only to find them wide open and nine figures marching through. The Americans!

Oh-- just let me tell you. They looked seriously badass. Their robes were torn and adjusted and they were holding their swords at their sides.

Jason stopped and jabbed the pount of his sword into the floor. The rows behind him did the same one by one as he yelled out a simple command that silenced the muttering of the crowds, "Attention!" They stood in a diamond formation, Jason scanned the crowd with a blank expression.

"At ease." They all seemed to relax. And their sorting began.

"Chase, Annabeth."

"Ravenclaw!"

"di Angelo, Nico."

"Slytherin!"

"Grace, Jason."

"Gryffindor!"

"Grace, Thalia."

"Just Thalia, don't like my last name," Thalia mumbled.
"Gryffindor!"

"Jackson, Perseus."

"I go by Percy," Percy added as he walked up.
"Slytherin!"

"Lavesque, Hazel."

"Hufflepuff!"

"McLean, Piper."

"Slytherin!"

"Valdez, Leonidas." I guess that was Leo, I get why he didn't use that name.

"It's just Leo," He said, unusual pale face redenning as he walked up, holding his sides.
"Ravenclaw!"

"Zhang, Frank."

"Hufflepuff!"

I was surpised to find that nearly half of them were Slytherin. They couldn't be, they were so nice, they can't be like them. Can they?
