"SLYTHERIN" the hat called it barely even glossed his head when it spoke

several more were called in this way

"g-grindelwald, h-hadrian" she stuttered her fear clear to see as i walked up to the hat pulling my wand

"scourgify" i chanted cleaning the hat before sitting on the stool and aloud it to be placed my head

"thank you, no one really gives me a good cleaning" the hat said i smiled before he began his duty

"hmm, difficult very difficult, plenty of courage, i see, not bad mind either, there's talent my goodness, yes --  and a nice desire to prove yourself, but where to put you" the hat spoke in my ear 

"i would prefer the most free rein slytherin seems to be what will give me such" i said

"hmm, you may be right, your new name fits very well, SLYTHERIN" the hat called and harry got up and moved to his table where his house mates

"McFarland ,victoria" McGonagall called as a very pale women walked up but she was a beauty if ever there was one

more names were called until everyone had been sorted into their respective house

"WELCOME" dumbledore for it was obviously the old man

"welcome to a new year for hogwarts, before we begin our banquet i just have a few words, and they are, nitwit, blubber, oddment, tweak, thank you" he said as he sat down as food appeared on our tables and we all began to did in

"hello harry, it is good to finally meet you" the same pale girl spoke she had a very melodious voice

"should i know you" i asked

"do you not, well with what happened to your family that is in fact possible, when you take your inheritance you shall learn and i shall be waiting" she said with a great smile i frowned not sure what she meant

"hmm it seems there are other things being kept from you then again that is for the best" she said i frowned even more she didn't say anything else to me and they ate their meal with draco and i getting to know each other

"now that we have been fed i just have a few start-of-term notices for you" dumbledore spoke

"first years should note the forbidden forest is out of bounds to all students, a few of our older students would do well to remember that" dumbledore said glancing at the gryffindor table and at two individuals specifically

"i have also been asked by Mr. filch, the castle caretaker, to remind you all that no magic should be used in the corridors between classes" dumbledore started then paused

"quidditch trials will be held second weak after the start of term, anyone interested in playing for their house teams should contact madame hooch, and finally, i must tell you that this year, the third floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a very pain full death" the professor said
