Harry Potter | Trial & Error

[sunshine and whiskey]

Alyssa Lestrange | Slytherin | Fifth Year

​

She sat there in the Great Hall, talking amongst the other Slytherin mates. She laughed at the right time and interjected her two cents at the right time as well. She was considered one of the evil Slytherin's there was but Professor Snape thought that she was an absolute sweetheart. She raised her hand up and offered him a wave with a soft smile then turned back towards her female friends, or as people like to call them "The Sly Foxes".


Alyssa eyes looked as the big double doors of the Great Hall opened and saw the timid and afraid first years come forth. She remembered when she first got here and had that same look plastered against her face but she was much more pale that them. One of the ghosts popped out of nowhere and scared them as she laughed while pointing. Good thing she wasn't the only one laughing as she stopped once Professor McGonagall stood up.


Everyone immediately shut up as she rolled a piece of paper opened and started calling out names. Whoever house they went to, that house cheered while Slytherin just stared at their new housemate. Alyssa rolled her eyes as one girl came over and sat beside her but she moved and sat elsewhere. "Aw, I guess my beauty scared her off." She giggled while her flock of female friends laughed.


She continued to watch the rest of the ceremony and everyone got even quieter when Professor Dumbledore stood up and placed his old, wrinkly hands onto the podium in front of him. A seize of silence fell over the crowd as they awaited to hear what he was going to say.

Dalton Hudson | Gryffindor | First Year

​

The train ride to the academy seemed like it took forever to him. He grew instantly bored on the train and fell asleep, completely ignoring the people in his compartment. When the train came to a stop, his eyes fluttered opened as he stretched his arms over his head and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes with his index finger.


They were given directions on where to go next as he grabbed his bags and followed everyone else. He saw that they were walking closer and closer to the school and immediately his stomach churned and he was growing sick.


Dalton's eyes looked up as he couldn't believe that he had made it to Hogwart's. When he got his acceptance letter, he had started packing then and buying his supplies, making sure he was all set. Once the doors to Hogwart's opened, they were greeted by a Professor, that went by the name of McGonagall. She then introduced them to their escort towards the Great Hall.


Dalton placed his bags and supplies where everyone else did and put on his robe. He walked into the Great Hall and became frightened as all eyes seemed to be on him. After seeing the talking hat, it scared him but nothing like the ghost that came out of nowhere. Everyone laughed when they jumped and were startled as he rolled his eyes then they were widened when he heard his name being called.


Everyone cleared a path for him and he sat down on the stool but luckily for him, the hat didn't take long to place him into the Gryffindor house as he went over there and sat down as he thanked everyone that congratulated him then continued to watch the ceremony.

Emily


Emily fidgeted nervously with her robes, waiting for her name to be called, when finally, it happened. "Black, Emily." An older woman at the top of the stairs had called her name from the long scroll in her hands. The room became silent at once. Was it possible that a murderer could still be at large and even have a daughter just now going into her first year? Well, Black was a common name after all. Maybe, there was a possibility that this was not any relation to Sirius.


"Now, what have we here? Another Black? How very strange. I've had your father Sorted by me as well as your cousin." The Hat hissed in her ear. "The only problem, my child, is where to settle you in. Of course, all four houses have their own attributes. You could be in your father's house, Gryffindor or your cousin, Bellatrix Black's house, Slytherin, my dear." "No!" Emily whispered harshly. "No. I don't want Slytherin. I can't." "No? Alright, very well, then. GRYFFINDOR!" He shouted. Emily gasped in relief and joined the red and gold emblazoned table.


Jasper


After a long time, 'Weasley, Jasper" was called to take his place on the stool. Jasper knew where he would end up. It wasn't a surprise to him at all. Both his father and mother were in Gryffindor, as well as his uncles and aunt. Surely he would get the very same treatment. "Right! Another Weasley. You seem to be dropping like flies, you do." The Hat chortled. Jasper's cheeks inflamed to a deeper color than his hair.


"No matter, I've had experience with your family before, each one in Gryffindor for years. That's a suitable spot." The hat didn't bother taking any other house into consideration before bellowing throughout the Great Hall. "GRYFFINDOR!" Jasper nearly threw the Hat off his head in desperation to join his family House.
