All eyes were on Hermione, who was waiting to get sorted. Minerva puts the Sorting Hat on her head, covering her eyes.

Ruby looked at Hermione among the crowd, internally praying that everything went well for her new friend.

"What a remarkable mind you have. Your thirst for knowledge and your dedication to learning are extraordinary. You possess an insatiable curiosity and a strong intellect, always seeking to understand and master every subject." The Sorting Hat says internally, surprising Hermione.

Hermione hummed, thinking about her parents' office at their Dentist job, which has a massive library filled with books on various subjects. She also thought about when she would stay up at night reading books during school days or studying long hours.

"Such a brilliant and inquisitive mind," the Sorting hat continued. "While you have courage and a strong sense of justice, your defining trait is your love for learning and your desire to excel academically."

After careful consideration, the Sorting hat declared loudly, "RAVENCLAW!"

Minerva takes the Sorting Hat from Hermione's head. Hermione looked and saw Ruby smiling at her.

"Woohoo! My best girl is a Ravenclaw!" She cheered, causing Harry to smile at her.

Hermione stood up and watched her Hogwarts uniform change into Ravenclaw colors: dark blue and light blue.

Hermione looked pleased, a bright smile spreading as she joined the Ravenclaw table. She felt a sense of excitement and pride, eager to embrace the intellectual challenges and opportunities that awaited her in her new house.

Ruby cheered, watching Hermione sit down with the Ravenclaw students.

"Daphne Greengrass," Minerva called next.

Daphne, a girl with sleek blonde hair, sparkling icy blue eyes, and pale skin, wearing the Hogwarts student's uniform, walked past Ruby.

Ruby looked at Daphne, finding her beautiful. The young Witch reminded her of a Disney Princess.

"She's beautiful," She whispered.

"I think she's okay looking," Harry shrugged while looking at Ruby.

Draco, Blaise, and Theodore eyed Harry, realizing that Ruby had him wrapped around her finger because, in the Wizarding World, Daphne Greengrass is one of the most beautiful young Witches of their era.

Daphne approached the stool and sat down. Minerva puts the Sorting hat on her head.

"I see a sharp mind and a refined sense of ambition. You possess quiet confidence and a strong desire to achieve your goals. Your resourcefulness and ability to navigate complex social dynamics set you apart." The Sorting hat mused.

Daphne begins to think about visions of strategic planning and a determination to succeed in whatever she undertakes.

"Such ambition and cunning," The Sorting hat continued.

Without hesitation, the Sorting hat declared loudly, "SLYTHERIN!"

Daphne stood up and gracefully walked to the Slytherin table. She cooly smiled as she joined her new housemates, her heart filled with pride and determination.

After Daphne, a male Wizard named Wayne Hopkins got sorted into Hufflepuff. A female Witch named Megan Jones got sorted into Hufflepuff. Another female Witch named Sue Li got sorted into Ravenclaw.

"Neville Longbottom," Minerva called.

Ruby looked at her surroundings and spotted Neville in the crowd, getting nervous. She walks up to him, causing Harry to raise an eyebrow, wondering what she plans to do.

" What's wrong?" Ruby asked, looking at Neville.

" I'm scared," Neville looks at Ruby. He leans to her and whispers. " What if I am a Squib."

" A Squib?" Ruby whispers.

" A non-magical person born to at least one magical parent," Neville explained.

Ruby takes Neville's hand and lightly squeezes it.

Harry watched, unfazed, causing Draco to scoot closer to him.

" Aren't you jealous that Ruby is talking to another boy?" Draco asked.

" No," Harry responded.

Draco and Harry looked at one another.

" Why not?" Draco asked.

" Ruby is a genuine, kind person. She loves helping those around her despite getting hurt in the process. I will always catch her when she falls and kill those who hurt her," Harry smiled.

Draco stepped away from Harry, looking at him warily since he knew the other Wizard would kill for Ruby.

" Everything is going to be alright, Neville. Believe in yourself," Ruby smiled sweetly.

" Okay," Neville nodded.

He let go of Ruby's hand and smiled at her a little. He looks away, walks towards the stool, and sits down, facing everyone.

His eyes focused on Ruby, and he saw her give him a thumbs-up and a sweet smile. He looked at Minerva and nodded, watching her put the Sorting Hat on his head.

"I sense great bravery, though you may not see it in yourself yet. There's a strong heart and a kind soul within you. Your loyalty to friends and determination to do what's right are admirable." The Sorting hat mused.

Neville stayed quiet, thinking about his parents, who had sacrificed their mental health for his protection. He also thought about everything his paternal relatives have done to him to ensure he has magic.

" You have courage, yes," The Sorting hat continued, "but what truly stands out is your patience, dedication, and loyalty. This specific house will help you nurture these skills best."

After a moment's consideration, the hat declared loudly, "HUFFLEPUFF!"

Neville sighed in relief, feeling a weight lift off his shoulders as he joined the Hufflepuff table. He was greeted warmly by his new housemates, feeling a sense of belonging and reassurance that he was in the right place to grow and thrive.

He sat beside Megan and looked at the crowd, seeing Ruby smiling at him happily.

" Thank you," He mouths out.

Ruby nodded, glad to have helped a new friend out. She looked away to continue watching the sorting ceremony.

After Neville, a Wizard named Ernie Macmillan got sorted into Hufflepuff. Next, Minerva called forth Draco.

Draco and Harry looked at one another. Ruby turned and looked at Draco, giving him a thumbs-up.

" I know what house I'll get," Draco says to Harry while looking and nodding at Ruby.

Draco walked through the crowd to the stool and sat down. Minerva puts the Sorting hat on his head.

"I see a strong sense of ambition and a desire for power and influence. Your confidence and determination are unmistakable, as is your pride in your family lineage. You possess a cunning mind and a natural inclination for leadership." The Sorting hat murmured.

Draco nodded, thinking about his Grandfather, Abraxas Malfoy, who was close friends with Lord Voldemort, the current Dark Wizard. Then, he begins to remember his father, Lucius Malfoy, and his connections within the Ministry of Magic. Lastly, his new friendship with the current Wizarding Savior, who is different from how the Wizarding World perceives it.

Without hesitation, the Sorting hat declared loudly, "SLYTHERIN!"

Draco smirked, his expression of satisfaction and confidence, as he joined the cheering Slytherin table.

Harry applauded, proud of his friend who got sorted into his desired house. Ruby cheered, happy Draco had been sorted into Slytherin since that was her ancestor's house.

Severus watched his Godson's sorting ceremony and applauded since he figured Draco would get sorted into Slytherin. He glanced to the first-years and saw Ruby cheering for Draco, wondering if they had become friends during their travels to Hogwarts. His eyes blinked when he saw Harry applauding Draco, which bewildered him.

After Draco, Minerva called Cormac, and he got sorted into Gryffindor. Ruby watched Cormac look proud. Her eyes blink when he sees her, and she gets flustered and surprised when he winks at her, causing her to look away. Meanwhile, Harry stared at him coldly, causing the other Wizard to shiver and speed walk to the Gryffindor table.
