Sorting Feast [OPEN TO ALL]

[harry]

Harry walked into the Great Hall just as it was filling up with students. Another year. He'd only been working as Hogwarts Headmaster for three years, but it seemed like an eternity already. It was nice to get back into the school that was practically his home when he was a boy. Oh, how times have changed since then. It seemed like he had so many hardships to overcome. The only thing that hadn't changed since he was in school was the fact the the Slytherins were the same nasty little cretins--minus Albus. How he had gotten into Slytherin, Harry hadn't a clue. Not that it was a problem, oh no. It just wasn't expected. When Harry and Ginny had gotten an owl from James far before they had gotten one from Albus, Harry knew that something was wrong.

But now, six years later, Harry was sitting up in front of all of the students, looking at them. It was quite noisy, as all of the students seemed to have something to talk about. Harry easily found his three children, and then glanced around at everyone else. It was as if they hadn't just seen each other on the train here. Harry looked to the back of the hall, seeing a professor nod to him, signalling to him that the first years were just out side of that door. Harry stood and made his way up to the podium, clearing his throat. All chattering stopped momentarily. "The first years are ready to be sorted. Like always, hold all negative comments to yourself," he said, nonchalantly glancing over to the Slytherin table, "and welcome the new students. Please do not speak during the sorting. Thank you." the headmaster said and sat down.

A little while later, the sorting was finished. Harry stood again, raising his hands to call the hall to silence. "Welcome, everyone, to a new school year. I hope that you all find that if you ever have any troubles, the teaching staff is always here for you." Harry went on to explain the rules for the new students; the forbidden forest is off limits, if you are caught out after curfew there will be punishments, the usual. When he was finished, he pulled his wand out of his robes. With a smile and a flick of his wand, food appeared on the tables. "Enjoy your year at Hogwarts!" And with that, Harry took his seat at the center of the staff table.

THE WORLD AS I FELL ASLEEP

Chloe couldn't believe this was the beginning of her sixth year at Hogwarts and yet she had no boyfriend. She didn't mind though since it meant she could concentrate on her homework and grades. She missed her school friends so she couldn't wait to catch up with them over dinner. She wasn't able to find them on the way over to the school so she hoped she would find them in the Great Hall. Dressed in jeans and a t-shirt that fitted her just right she walked over to the Hufflepuff table and saw that none of her friends were there yet.

She wished that they would come soon because she was getting bored. With in ten minutes though some of her friends came through and she couldn't help but talk with them until the headmaster decided to talk. She had of course hushed right away to see what he was saying and then he watched the first years getting sorted. She felt like it was just yesterday she was one of those first years just putting the hat on top of her head. She didn’t know where the thought had came from but it was a happy thought of the past but was glad she was not up there once again.

She listened to what Headmaster Potter had to say this time around. She had looked around and saw that Lily was sitting at the Gryffindor table looking as happy as can be and then talking aimlessly with her friends in her house. She wondered how she felt having a father as a Headmaster? She’d probably die if her father was Headmaster of the school. Well okay she’d be upset that her father was the Headmaster but then again they were a different family and she turned towards her plate and piled things on the plate and started eating.
