Albus is This Prophecy Right?

Chapter 15: The Sorting after Math

Later that night in the Headmaster's Office

Albus Dumbledore called for a meeting with Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape, Filus Fitwick, and Pomona Sprout discussing the events from the Sorting Ceremony.

"Headmaster, I demand those you bring those four students to my house tonight." Severus Snape demanded.

"I don't think so Serverus, those children are in mortal danger now, and didn't you hear those threatenening comments directed towards Miss Bones from the students in your own house." Albus replied.

"For your information Serverus, your house lost two hundred-fifty house points tonight for their behavior. I will not tolerate this from any students or staff members at Hogwarts." Albus continued speaking sternly.

"Another thing Severus, If I hear of any type of retaliations to those four students by students of your house or yourself giving them unjust detentions or removing house points for no reason, I will discipline you and the offenders personally." Albus concluded.

"Pomona, you will be responsible for Mr. Potter, Miss Weasley, Miss Bones, and Mr. Longbottom; they will be attending classes with the Hufflepuffs for now. I would add Mr. Zabini and Mr. Malfoy to your care if I could trust them together with the other four students. Minerva and Filus make sure your houses don't retaliate against Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Zabini or else the same disciplinary actions will be applied to the both of you and the offenders also." Albus spoke candidly.

"Severus, Filus, Pomona, you are excused, Good night everyone." The Headmaster replied.

"Headmaster, whose house do those four students belong to?" Professor Snape asked.

"Severus, Pomona will be responsible for them, but they belong to the new House of Hogwarts." Albus replied.

"WHAT!" Everyone replied.

"The House of Hogwarts is the new designated house for students not assigned to any of the other four noble houses, and the Headmaster or Headmistress will be considered their Head of House." The Headmaster replied.

"HEADMASTER, I PROTEST, THEY ARE SLYTHERINS! THERE ARE MY STUDENTS!" Snape exclaimed.

"Those four students are mine for now, Severus." Albus replied with the smile of approval from the other three professors.

"Now, Serverus, Filus, and Pomona please excuse Minerva and me." Albus replied

"Oliver, what happened tonight at Sorting Ceremony?" Albus asked the Sorting Hat after the other teachers departed.

"What do you mean Albus?" The hat asked.

"You sorted ancestral Slytherins in to Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor. You sorted three ancestral Gryffindors into Slytherin along with an ancestral Hufflepuff into Slytherin." Minerva replied to the hat.

"Well, Draco Malfoy was displaying more Ravenclaw traits than Slytherin traits when he was sorted into Ravenclaw. I know that Lucius Malfoy is definitely a Slytherin because he was cunningness and ruthlessness. You know recently the Black Family Bloodline have not always ensured they will be sorted into Slytherin lately. Sirius Black and Nymphadora Tonks were Gryffindors along with Andromeda Black-Tonks being sorted in to Ravenclaw." The hat replied candidly.

"Albus, is it possible that Mr. Longbottom may have received some of Voldemort's magic when he was vanquished?" Minerva asked.

"Yes, that is a possibility Minerva." Albus replied.

"He was believed to be the last known heir of Salazar Slytherin." The hat commented.

"I am starting to wonder now if any of those Slytherin traits were transferred to Neville Longbottom when he was attacked as a child. I think that was the reason why he was displaying some strong Slytherin traits instead along with his ancestral Gryffindor traits when he was sorted. " The hat replied verbally questioning its decision.

"Why did you put Harry Potter and Ginevra Weasley into Slytherin House?" Minerva asked.

"Minerva, do you know the Potter family possesses traits of all four houses. The only reason they're in Gryffindors is because they have always refuse my recommendation to reside in any of the three other houses beside Gryffindor. I know the Weasleys are true Gryffindors, and Ginevra is Harry's bonded soul mate. I really believe that young Harry Potter would excel in Slytherin, and I had no choice; bonded couples will never be separated.

"Susan Bones was just displaying more Slytherin traits than Hufflepuff, also." The hat replied.

"Blaise Zabini was also displaying strong Gryffindor traits than Slytherin traits resulting in his placement into Gryffindor." The hat concluded.

"Thank you Oliver." Albus replied to the hat.

"Tomorrow, I am going have to face the Malfoy parents, Augusta Longbottom, the Potter parents, the Weasley parents, Mrs. Zabini, and Madam Bones, Let's get some sleep Minerva, tomorrow is going to be a long day." Albus concluded sadly.

"Neville, do you want to write a letter home? I will have Hedwig deliver the letter for you." Harry replied.

"Sure Harry, I'll join you and the girls in a few minutes." Neville replied yawning.

Harry went into common room to meet the girls.

While starting to write their letters, the Gryffindor ghost entered the guest room's common room startling the kids at first.

"Excuse me for startling you folks; you must be Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley. I'm Sir Nicholas de Minsy-Poppton or Sir Nicholas, I am here on the behalf of a very worried red haired young lady named Rose Potter." The ghost replied.

"Is she alright?" Harry and Ginny asked together worried.

"She will be fine now, I can see that both of you are fine and safe at this time. Harry, you are spitting image of you father at age eleven with your mother's emerald green eyes. Ginny, you are the exact image of your mother Molly Prewett also." Sir Nicolas replied.

"You must be Neville Longbottom because you look just like your father Frank at eleven, I remember you parents Frank and Alice as students as if were yesterday. This young lady bares family resemblances of the Bones Family. You look like your father, Edgar, How are your parents?" The ghost replied again.

"My parents were killed by Death Eaters Sir Nicholas, and Auntie Amelia is my guardian now." Susan replied.

"I'm sorry about your parent's deaths, but I know your lucky young lady because your have your Auntie Amelia." The ghost replied back.

"I better get going, and tell Rose and the Weasley twins, Fred and George, that all of you are fine." Sir Nicholas replied.

"Sir Nicholas, please tell Rose that I am writing a letter home, and I'll give her the unfinished letter to complete before she sends it home.

"I sure will tell her, good night everyone." Sir Nicholas replied as he departed.

Harry's Letter

Dear Dad and Mum,

The train ride to Hogwarts was long. The boat ride was fun but scary because all you see is a dark lake with lights from the castle in the distance. The Sorting Ceremony was a real mess because Neville Longbottom was sorted into Slytherin, Draco Malfoy was sorted in Ravenclaw, Ginny and I ended up in Slytherin, Susan Bones was also sorted into Slytherin, and Blaise Zabini was sorted into Gryffindor according to Susan. I forgot to tell you, Neville, Ginny, and I walked out of the Great Hall with applause from the other three houses for rejecting the Slytherins. Professor Sprout has made sure that all of us had a feast of our own. We are currently safe and staying in the guest room on the third floor in the caring hands of Professor Sprout, I guess this is our house and dormitory for now. Don't worry mum, we are safe. I'll probably be seeing you both tomorrow.

P.S. Give the twins hugs from their brother at Hogwarts and Ginny,

Love Harry

Ginny's Letter

Dear Mum and Dad,

The Sorting Ceremony was wild. The hat sorted Draco Malfoy in to , Neville Longbottom, Susan Bones and Harry was sorted into to Slytherin. Mum, you wouldn't believe it; all of us got up from the stool and walked out of the Great Hall refusing to report to Slytherin table. I heard that Ron was sorted in to Ravenclaw. We may have missed the feast in the Great Hall, but Professor Sprout made sure we had a small feast in the third floor guest room which was great. Our guest room has a dormitory with a boys and girls bedroom and a common room. Mum and dad, we are safe from the Slytherin scum for now, and Professor Sprout is watching over us. Sir Nicholas sends his regards to both of you. I was just kidding; Ron was sorted into Gryffindor of course according to Susan. The Headmaster is going have long day tomorrow after tonight's sorting. I guess I'll be seeing both of you, Aunt Lily, and Uncle James tomorrow. Before I go, Ron's owl name is Pigwidgeon or Pig.

Love Ginny

Neville's Letter

Dear Gran,

You won't believe what I'm going to tell you. The sorting hat put me in Slytherin House along with Harry Potter, Ginny Weasley, and Susan Bones. We refused to report to the Slytherin table, and walked out the Great Hall. Professor Sprout is caring for all of us in a guestroom on the third floor. I didn't know she knew you, dad and mum. Gran can you come to Hogwarts and try to get me out of Slytherin House. I fear for my life knowing that some of their parents are responsible for mum and dad's current condition at St. Mungo' worry about us missing the feast in the Great Hall because the headmaster sent food to our guest room. We had a great feast with Professor Sprout. Good bye for now. The Gryffindor ghost Sir Nicholas sends his regards.

Your Grandson,

Neville

Susan Bones' Letter

Dear Auntie Amelia,

I have been sorted into Slytherin. Harry Potter, Ginevra Weasley, Neville Longbottom also has been sorted into Slytherin. This is too hard to believe that four children from good wizarding families were sorted into Slytherin. Thank god for Professor McGonagall, she got me out of the Great Hall because the students of Slytherin house were threatening me. I'm sorry about this angry letter. Well, Harry, Ginny, Neville, and I make up a fifth house of Slytherin blood traitors located within the third floor guestroom. I know if I can't get out of Slytherin house, I will be in mortal danger because those students will find a way to hurt me. Auntie, don't worry too much about me right now because Professor Sprout is taking good care of me and the others in the third floor guest room. We all missed the entire feast in the Great Hall but the headmaster made sure we had a feast of our own here, the food was great. I'll see you tomorrow.

P.S The ghost, Sir Nicholas, sends his greetings,

Love Your Niece,

Susan

Harry sent his letter to Rose with Hedwig to finish along with the three other letters.

Draco's Letter

Dear Father and Mother,

If you haven't heard yet from others, I have been sorted in to Ravenclaw instead of Longbottom, Harry Potter, Susan Bones, and the Weasley girl ended up in Slytherin also. I can't imagine four traitors in Slytherin House and I ended up in Ravenclaw. I reported to Ravenclaw table hoping that you can get me out of this house and back to Longbottom, Harry Potter, and the Weasley girl just walked out of the Great Hall after they were sorted. I was considering doing the same as them, but I decided it wasn't the right thing to at the time. Before I forget Blaise Zabini is in Gryffindor. Father please get me out of Ravenclaw.

Your Son,

Draco

Draco sent his letter home to his parents with the family's Eagle Owl.

While Fred, George, and Rose were relaxing on the couch by the fireplace, Sir Nicolas appeared, and he told all three of them that Harry, Ginny, Neville, and Susan were safe. He also told Rose that Harry will be sending Hedwig with an unfinished letter for their parents to be completed before she sends it home.

"Before I go Rose, you know that Harry and Ginny resemble both of their parents at their age." Sir Nicholas replied prior to departing.

"Thank you Sir Nicholas, that's what mum and Auntie Molly tell those two all the time." Rose replied to the ghost while the twins nodded in agreement.

A half hour later Hedwig dropped the unfinished in Rose's hands, and she proceeded to complete the letter that Harry started. Fred and George started to compose a letter to their parents also.

Rose's Letter

This is Rose writing now; I know Harry already told you about the Sorting Ceremony. It was wild because I thought the professors were going have kittens when Neville Longbottom, Draco Malfoy, Harry, Ginny, Susan Bones, and Blaise Zabini were ,the food at the feast was great like you told me. Harry doesn't know this, but Sir Nicholas thinks that Harry and Ginny resembles you and Aunt Molly as first year students. That's about all for now. Give Iris and Alex a big hug from their sister at Hogwarts. Before I forget, Sir Nicholas sends his greetings also.

Love Rose

Fred and George's Letters

Dear Mum and Dad,

Tonight's Sorting Ceremony placed Harry, Ginny, Susan Bones, and Neville Longbottom in Slytherin, but they just walked out of the Great Hall with applause from the remaining three houses. Susan Bones was later escorted out of the Great Hall from the Slytherin table by Professor McGonagall when the students threatened her. Percy is ashamed of Harry and Ginny's behavior during the Sorting Ceremony when they left the Great Hall instead of sitting with those Slytherin snakes. We had to remind him he almost became the first Weasley in Slytherin instead of Ginny according to Charlie. Both of us are proud of Harry and Ginny, they are true Gryffindors not like Percy. Since Harry and Ginny aren't here now, we're keeping a close eye on Rose like older brothers, dad. We had a visit from Sir Nicholas telling us that all four of them are safe from those Slytherin snakes and Professor Snape. Professor Sprout is taking good care of them now. Unfortunately; Ron was sorted into Hufflepuff, just kidding. Sir Nicholas sends his greetings and I guess we will see you tomorrow.

Your Sons,

Fred and George

Hedwig departed Hogwarts with five letters going to the residents of the Potters, the Weasleys, Madam Bones, and Augusta Longbottom.

Later that night, all of the letters arrived at the Potter, the Weasley, the Longbottom, Madam Bones, and the Malfoy residents.

Potter Manor

"Lils, we got a letter from the kids." James replied.

"What house are they in?" Lily asked.

"Slytherin and Gryffindor", James replied calmly.

"WHAT!" Lily exclaimed surprised.

"The hat has been trying to put us Potters into Slytherin House forever. We Potter have always have rejected that Slytherin recommendation. Rose made Gryffindor, but that hat put Harry in Slytherin. . I bet that hat didn't give Harry a choice." James replied.

"What house is Ginny in?" Lily asked curiously.

"She is in Slytherin with her bonded soul mate." James replied solemnly.

"MERLIN! Neville Longbottom was sorted into Slytherin also; he just walked out the Great Hall refusing to report to Slytherin table with the applause from the other three houses. Frank and Alice would have been proud of Neville. I would paid a fortune in galleons to see Minerva's face when Harry and Ginny followed Neville outside of the Great Hall since that hat forced them in Slytherin." James continued.

"Another black sheep of the Black Family bloodline, I can't wait to tell Sirius." James concluded.

"What do mean by that James?" Lily asked curiously.

"Oh, little Draco Malfoy was sorted into Ravenclaw, I wish it could have been Hufflepuff instead; I bet Lucius is the laughing stock of the Death Eaters now." James replied laughing.

"James let me see that letter." Lily requested demandingly as she took the letter to read.

"What happened during sorting?" Lily exclaimed after reading the letter.

"I hate to be Albus tomorrow considering that Lucius Malfoy and Augusta Longbottom will be visiting Hogwarts." Lily replied sympathetically.

"I bet we'll also be seeing Arthur, Molly, and Madam Bones tomorrow since the four kids have been sorted into Slytherin, also" James replied.

"You got that right James, No Potter or Weasley child is going to be Slytherins for long if it's up to us." Lily replied.

"That's great; Sir Nicolas sends his regards to us, and I see the house elves are still excellent cook according to the kids." Lily concluded to James.

"I sure miss those feasts." James replied.

"Harry said the train and boat ride were great, but he didn't mention the Malfoy encounter on the train." James replied thinking verbally.

"What do mean by that James?" Lily asked worried.

"Oh, Draco attempted to intimidate the four kids, but Draco and two companions ran for dear life from the compartment after receiving Bat Bogey hexes." James said candidly.

"How do you know?" Lily asked.

"I had an auror using a disillusionment charm watching them for me during the train ride." James replied.

"He told me that Ginny's Bat Bogey hexes that were well executed on all three of those intruders, and he also said, "He wouldn't want be an enemy of any of those four kids." James concluded.

"Rose also wrote that Sir Nicholas thinks that Harry and Ginny are younger versions of you and Molly." Lily replied.

"Really?" James replied.

"Molly and I have known that for years, James." Lily replied.

"Lets go to bed, we will be visiting Hogwarts tomorrow." Lily concluded with a yawn.

The Burrow

"Ah, Hedwig is here with two letters." Molly replied.

"Thank you Hedwig, you stay here tonight and get some sleep." Molly replied to the owl giving her an owl treat and some water. The Snowy Owl hooted back to Molly three times before flying to the perch sitting next to Errol.

"Who are they from dear?" Arthur asked.

"Oh, one must be from Ginny since Hedwig delivered it and the other is from the twins." Molly replied.

"Has Ron's owl delivered any letters yet?" Arthur asked.

"Not yet." Molly replied.

"Ron will probably write tomorrow." Molly replied.

"What she got to say, dear?" Arthur asked.

"She said ,Sir Nichols sends his regards; Ron was sorted into Ravenclaw; Her and Harry were sorted into Slytherin; Draco Malfoy was sorted into Ravenclaw; Neville Longbottom was sorted in Slytherin ,but Harry,Ginny,and Neville refused to report to Slytherin walking out the Great

Hall with applause from other three houses; Ron owl is named (Pigwidgeon) or Pig." Molly replied trying to get a reaction from Arthur.

"WHAT!" Arthur exclaimed.

"Ron is actually in Gryffindor, dear. Both, Harry and Ginny were sorted into Slytherin,Draco Malfoy was sorted in Ravenclaw, and Neville Longbottom was sorted into Slytherin refusing to report by walking out of the Great Hall followed by Harry and isn't going have a good day tomorrow considering that Lucius Malfoy,Augusta Longbottom,Madam Bones,James,Lily,and us are going to be there tomorrow." Molly replied.

"Your quite right Molly, I wouldn't want to be Albus tomorrow either." Arthur replied.

"It's getting late Molly, let get some sleep. We'll be seeing Ginny and the boys tomorrow." Arthur concluded.

Malfoy Manner

"Lucius, we got a letter from Draco." Narcissa replied

Narcissa read the letter in total silence, and Lucius replied," what's wrong Narcissa?"

"Our son has been sorted into Ravenclaw." Narcissa said quietly.

"Speak up Narcissa." Lucius replied impatiently.

"Draco has been sorted in Ravenclaw, and Neville Longbottom, Harry Potter, Susan Bones, and Arthur Weasley's daughter have been sorted into Slytherin." Narcissa replied astonished.

"How could that happen? It's your fault Narcissa; he is weak from you coddling him all the damn time." Lucius replied sternly.

"Let me see that letter." He requested angrily.

After scanning through the letter, He replied, "At least the Longbottom, Potter, and the Weasley girl did the right thing instead of taking a seat at the Ravenclaw table. They walked out of the great hall without reporting to Slytherin." Lucius ranted loudly.

"Narcissa, I blame the Black family bloodline for Draco's sorting. Look, Sirius and Nymphadora were sorted in Gryffindor along with Andromeda being sorted into Ravenclaw. I should have picked his tutors myself when he was being home schooled to ensure he learned the ways of Salazar Slytherin, but instead he became a bookworm without a trace of ruthlessness making him a Ravenclaw. " Lucius concluded ranting.

"This is just much as your fault, Lucius. You didn't get involved in his home schooling and up bringing to ensure that he being taught the ways of Salazar Slytherin, but instead you have been more involved with dark activities since Draco's birth then family life. "Narcissa replied defiantly

"Lucius, here is something else to think about, Blaise Zabini ended up in Gryffindor according to floo rumor network which is worst than Ravenclaw." Narcissa replied.

"Tomorrow were going to straighten out this mess at Hogwarts, if I can't get him into Slytherin, I'm sending him to Durmstrang like I wanted to in the first place to instill his ruthlessness and cunningness to achieve his ambitions." Lucius replied.

"You mean your ambitions to maintain your family standings amongst the dark families." Narcissa replied ending this discussion.

Longbottom Manor

I hopes a it's a good letter from Neville, Augusta thought hopefully.

What! My Neville has been sorted in to Slytherin, I'm proud of grandson for walking out of the Great Hall instead of sitting with a bunch of kids who are Death Eaters in training according to James Potter. Augusta thought.

Alice and Frank weren't looking very good at the hospital tonight, and now I received a letter from Neville saying he was sorted in to the very house that produced those monsters responsible for his parent's condition at St. Mungo's. She continued thinking to herself.

I am going to Hogwarts to straighten this mess once and for all. Albus and Minerva are going to regret seeing me tomorrow. I need to thank Professor Sprout for comforting my Neville. She concluded her last thoughts on the matter.

"I better get some sleep, because this old women going to need it tomorrow!" She exclaimed to herself verbally.

'Good morning Harry, welcome to your first day of classes. You get up and meet me in the common room.' Ginny greeted Harry.

'Good Morning Ginny, I'll see you soon.' Harry replied.

He entered the common room receiving his good morning hug and a kiss on the cheek. "I'm starving, Are Susan and Neville ready yet?" Ginny said waiting the common room for Professor Sprout to escort them the Great Hall.

"Good morning, I have good news for all of you. You are not students of Slytherins anymore because you are students of the House of Hogwarts, now." Professor Sprout greeted them as she touched each of their robes changing their embroidered Slytherin badge to an embroidered Hogwarts badges.

"Your Head of House is Headmaster Albus Dumbledore now, even though I am responsible for all of you until this mess is over. All of you will be attending classes with the Hufflepuffs." She continued informing them.

"Lets go to the Great Hall for breakfast." She concluded.

Professor Sprout escorted Neville, Harry, Ginny, and Susan to Hufflepuff table for breakfast.

"Can we sit at the Gryffindor table to talk to our brothers and sister?"Both, Harry and Ginny asked Professor Sprout.

"Yes you may Mr. Potter and Miss Weasley; here are your timetables." Professor Sprout replied.

Harry and Ginny greeted the Headmaster good morning as they entered the Great Hall and they seated themselves at the Gryffindor table to eat.

Hermione, Fred,George,Rose, and Ron entered the Great Hall next greeting Neville good morning, and they took their seats at the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw , George, Ron, and Rose were surprised to find Harry and Ginny already eating breakfast at the Gryffindor table.

"You're not in Slytherin anymore?" Rose asked them noting the Hogwarts badge.

"We're are members of the House of Hogwarts, and the Headmaster is our Head of House." Ginny replied happily.

Harry and Ginny stopped eating breakfast long enough to receive good morning hugs from Rose and the Weasley brothers.

A Hufflepuff girl took seat beside Neville and Susan, and she introduced herself as Hannah Abbott to Neville since she already knew Susan. "I'm Neville Longbottom; it's good to meet you, and I hope I didn't mess up the Sorting Ceremony for you last night." He replied.

"I see you two have already found a friend, and here are you timetables." Professor Sprout replied passing them to all the students.

"Thank you Professor." Neville replied.

"Miss Abbot, thank you for befriending and welcoming them." Professor Sprout replied to the girl.

"I think he's cute, professor, so don't worry about him being alone between Susan and me." Hannah replied with a smile to the Professor.

"What's our first class Hannah?" Neville asked.

"Herbology with Ravenclaw is our first class." she replied.

"I'll see all of you in Greenhouse 2." Professor Sprout replied.

"Hermione, we got class together, you want to come with us after breakfast?" Neville asked.

"I guess it's time to go to Herbology." Susan and Hannah said at the same time.

"Susan, Hannah this is Hermione Granger." Neville replied introducing her to the other girls.

"It's nice to meet both of you." Hermione replied greeting them.

"Harry, Ginny are you coming to class with us?" Hermione asked.

"We'll be there in a minute Hermione. Ron, Rose, George, and Fred we'll see at lunch. Harry said as Ginny waved good bye.

Hermione joined Neville, Susan, Hannah, and the other Hufflepuffs as they left for Herbology class. Harry and Ginny departed the Great Hall hand in hand trailing behind the departing group of students going to the green houses.

All the parents and guardians of the affected children from the Sorting ceremony entered Hogwarts to meet with the Headmaster.

The Potters and Weasley parents along with Augusta Longbottom dressed in her usual green dress robe wearing here vulture hat carrying her red hand bag entered the Headmaster's office." How is everyone doing today?" Albus asked while greeting them.

"I hope you still have a good day after today's meeting, Albus?" Augusta Longbottom replied smiling.

Next, Madam Bones entered his office asking," How could that hat sort Susan into Slytherin?"

"In due time Amelia." Albus replied.

Finally, Mrs. Zabini, Lucius and Narcissi Malfoy arrived dressed impeccably in their finest black dress robes carrying his black walking stick with a silver snake head accompanied by Cornelius Fudge, Minster of Magic, displaying a smug smirk with an air of argents.

"Welcome all; the meeting will start in a few minutes." The Headmaster greeted everyone.

"How does it feel being the laughing stock of the Death Eaters, Lucius?" James Potter replied.

Before He could answer the question, Augusta Longbottom interrupted," Lucius, you still should be in Azkaban for what you did to James and Lily Potter. Why are you free while the Lestranges, Peter Pettigrew, and other notorious Death Eater are still in prison?" Augusta replied.

"I guess filling the pockets of the right people with gold can buy anyone's freedom." She concluded glaring directly at Lucius Malfoy and Cornelius Fudge.

"For your information Augusta, I am not a willing Death Eater. I was under the Imperius Curse when I attacked the Potters all those years ago, and if you hadn't noticed, I was tried and acquitted by the Wizengamot." Lucius stated arrogantly.

"Everyone lets get this meeting started." The Headmaster replied.

"Are you going to fix this sorting problem, Dumbledore?" Lucius asked curiously.

"We are all here for the same reason; last night's Sorting Ceremony. I normally wouldn't do anything about the sorting results of student because resorting is usually last resort to fixing the problem. After talking to the Sorting Hat last night, I have determined their will be a resortment of the six children in question, and any other first years who wish to be resorted tomorrow night before dinner. Do any of you have any other questions, if not, lets adjourn this meeting?" The Headmaster replied candidly.

"What happens if their resorted back into that same house again?" Mrs. Zabini asked.

"Well, the results of the resorting will be final." Albus answered the question pointedly.

"Is everyone happy with the resortment decision?" Cornelius Fudge asked because he didn't want to force the Headmaster to resort all the children especially Draco Malfoy.

"Lets adjourn this meeting and join me for lunch in the Great Hall." Albus said concluding the meeting.

During lunch, the Headmaster informed the students their will be a resortment of any first years who request it. Please contact your Head of House to submit your name.

At dinner the next night, the Potters, the Weasleys, Augusta Longbottom, the Malfoys, Emilia Bones, and Mrs. Zabini arrived at Hogwarts for dinner in the Great Hall to witness the resorting. All of the guests were all seated at the Professors' table.

"Attention students and guests, we are going to resort some students before we enjoy our meal. Professor McGonagall, please proceed with the resorting." The Headmaster replied greeting the Great Hall.

Professor McGonagall stood up, and she walked over to the four-legged stool with the Sorting Hat. "Will the following students please report to me for resorting; Susan Bones, Draco Malfoy, Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom, Padma Patil, Parviti Patil, Harry Potter, Ginevra Weasley, and Blaise Zabini?" Professor McGonagall asked.

Susan Bones was the first to be seated on the stool wearing the Sorting Hat.

How are you tonight, Miss Bones? I see the Slytherin didn't approve of you being a Slytherin. Where else can I place you, how does Hufflepuff sound? She nodded her head yes and the hat yelled,"HUFFELPUFF."

Hermione Granger was next to being sorted. Miss Granger, you don't like Ravenclaw? I can sense you were a Ravenclaw, but you are wishing to be sorted into Gryffindor instead. Let see if you have any Gryffindor traits. Yes, you will be a great Gryffindor as well as a Ravenclaw. Are you sure you want to a Gryffindor?

"Yes", Hermione replied to the hat.

"GRYFFINDOR" yelled the hat

Draco Malfoy was seated after Hermione departed to the Gryffindor table sitting next to Ron.

Mr. Malfoy, don't you like Ravenclaw? Your Aunt Andromeda Black was a member of this noble house of Ravenclaw. I can see you prefer to be in Slytherin House with your friends. I still say you would make a great Ravenclaw, but I'll let you decide between Ravenclaw and Slytherin.

"Slytherin" Draco told the hat.

"SLYTHERIN", yelled the hat.

While Draco proceeded to the table to join Crabb and Goyle, Neville Longbottom was seated wearing the Sorting Hat.

Mr. Longbottom, I guess you were not happy about being placed into Slytherin, also. I sense you think you should have been sorted in to Hufflepuff instead, but the truth of the matter is; you're definitely a Gryffindor. "GRYFFINDOR", the hat yelled.

Neville proceeded to the Gryffindor table while Padma Patil was seated.

Miss Patil, I thought I placed you in the correct house. I sense you want to be in the same house as your sister. Let me see if you possess any Gryffindor traits, because your sister does not possess any Ravenclaw traits. How does Huffelpuff sound if I can put both of you in the same house?

"If you could please", Padma replied.

I sorry, I can't full fill your request, so you will stay in Ravenclaw. "RAVENCLAW", the hat yelled.

While Padma took her seat back at the Ravenclaw table, her sister Praviti took seat on the stool.

Miss Parvati Patil, I have bad news for you too, because I can't place you and your sister in the same house. So, you will remain in Gryffindor. "GRYFFINDOR", the hat yelled.

Parvati proceeded take her place back at the Gryffindor table next Lavender Brown while Harry Potter was seated on the stool.

Mr. Potter, It seems that you and your bonded mate didn't like my choice of Slytherin House. I still say you would be great in Slytherin, but I guess you both will be happier in your family's ancestral house of Gryffindor. "GRYFFINDOR", yelled the hat.

Harry received a hug from his sister prior to taking a seat at the table watching Ginny take a seat on the stool.

Miss Weasley, you may have heard me tell Mr. Potter my opinion of the greatness you both could have achieved in Slytherin, but you're going to be sorted back into your family ancestral house of Gryffindor like your bonded mate. "GRYFFINDOR", yelled the hat.

Ginny walked over to the Gryffindor table receiving hugs from Rose, Harry, Hermoine, and her brothers before she took a seat next to Harry.

Blaise Zabini was the last student to be resorted

Mr. Zabini, I still stand by my decision placing you in Gryffindor. I am going to give you the same choice as Mr. Malfoy; you can remain a Gryffindor or become a Slytherin.

"I would prefer Slytherin", Blaise whispered quietly.

"SLYTHERIN", yelled the hat.

"Headmaster, the resorting is completed." Professor McGonagall replied.

"I would like to thank the students and our guests for being very patient during the resortment, let the feast begin." The Headmaster replied as he clapped his hands together and food appeared on the tables.

After dinner, Harry, Ginny, and Neville were greeted by the Weasley and Potter parents, along with Augusta Longbottom congratulating them all on their resortment to Gryffindor. They talked to all of the children along with meeting their new friend Hermione Granger before they departed home.

Later that night, Percy escorted the new first years Gryffindors to the portrait of the Fat Lady. "Who do we have here? Ah, these must be ex-Slytherins from the resortment tonight. Let me see, this must be the famous Boy-Who Lived, Neville Longbottom, the well known couple Harry Potter and his red haired companion Ginevra Weasley, and who are you my dear?" The portrait replied.

"My name is Hermione Granger." Hermione replied back to portrait.

"Please call me Neville or Mr. Longbottom, that other so called title has caused me too many problems while growing up so far." Neville replied to Fat Lady.

"How did you hear about Ginny and me?" Harry asked the Fat Lady.

"The portraits and the ghosts have been gossiping constantly about the four members of the House of Hogwarts since the Sorting Ceremony." The Fat Lady replied to Harry.

"Percy, did we get rid of that nasty Zabini boy?" The portrait asked.

"He is back in Slytherin where he should be", Percy replied back to the portrait.

"Password?" The Fat Lady asked.

"Caput Draconis", Percy replied.

The portrait swung open to allow entry to Gryffindor house.

"Home, Sweet Home", Harry, Ginny, Neville, and Hermione replied together.
