Chapter 25 - the sorting

After a long peaceful train ride the train finally reached its destination, Harry and the other students departed from the train, the first years were directed to a very large man who was waving a lantern. Upon all the first years gathering they started thier journey to hogwarts walking down a small path till they reach a area with some small wooden boats. "Four to a boat" was what the large man who called himself hagrid told them to do, Harry entered a boat where he was once again met with the red haired boy who said his name was Ron Weasley along with a bushey haired girl called Hermiony granger and finally the last one a timid boy called Neville longbottem Harry found them rather annoying but didn't have much of a choice as all the other boats had been filled already.

Along the path under the hogwarts area where hagrid told them to duck dispite him being the only one who actually needed to duck, Ron Weasley kept asking questions to Harry dispite the blatant annoyance being shown on his face, every question was the same wether he knew where Harry Potter might be or what house he was going to go into along with a rant about something Grifindor that was tuned out by Harry.

Finally making it to the dock Harry quickly made himself unnoticeable not wanting to go through that whole annoying one sided conversation again, hagrid led the first year into the castle where a figure familiar to Harry appear again, McGonagall the same professor and deputy head mistress who took him to the alley for a moment McGonagall scanned the crowd and slightly fround as she did not spot Harry who was temporarily hidden. McGonagall then told Hagird she was going to take the first years now and with that Hagrid departed leave just McGonagall and the first years after a moment McGonagall spoke again talking about the houses they would be sorted into and the values each house represents then told the first years to wait and went back into the hall leaving the first years alone.

After just a few seconds of McGonagall being gone a small argument had already started the boy called Ron and the platinum blonde boy who Harry had also been interrupted by on the train, the argument started when Ron was talking to another student about what his brothers said the sorting was something about fighting a troll and was over heard by the blonde one who then made some jabs at Ron and it seemed in Harry opinion that the two already hated each other and based off some of the barbs Harry heard it was most likely a family thing. Harry found the fight mildly amusing to watch kinda wishing he had something to eat while watching but the fight was then interrupted by a scream as some ghost came through the wall talking about someone called Peeves and how they were not actually a real ghost.

After a few moments of the ghosts appearing McGonagall reappeared and drove the ghosts off and led th first years into the hall and immediately all eyes zoned in on them as they were led up to the front, Harry dropped the minor invisibility before entering when McGonagall turned back to th first years at the front she immediately notice that Harry had appeared and was momentarily perplexed but quickly composed herself and stated how the sorting was going to work, then started reading names off a piece of paper sarting with last names of A and working through the alphabet, after may names were called Harry's was finally called and the whole hall quited to the point you could hear a pin drop.

As Harry walked up to the hat wispiers start from the few he heard they were talking mostly about his appearance and the title the boy who lived the loudest part was both the Ron and blonde kid yelling about being lied to Harry then reached the stool and sat on it one led crossed over the other and the hat was lowered over his head, as the hat was lowered Harry heard a voice appear in his mind "oh how interest, oh yes definitely intresting" Harry was slightly startled but it didn't take longer than a second for him to recomposed himself the voice most likely was the sorting hat since it started right after the hat was placed. "Oh quite the sharp mind you have thier Mr Potter raven claw would definitely suit you and so too would slytheren" since the hat could clearly hear his thought Harry simply though back to the hat "which house would best fit my desires" the hat had a simple reply "ravencalw would give you all the resource to make your desires come to life same as those animatronics of yours" Harry simply gave a accepting thought and the next moment the hat shouted "raven-claw" and the hat was then removed and Harry simply made his way over to the blue and silver table, a quite thought appear in his head how his appearance kind of match the tables colors just with a lighter silver for his hair and purple eyes instead of a blue.
