Sky looked around the great hall. Long tables were filled with students talking and whispering. She could tell that they were talking about her because they kept looking up and made quick eye contact.

Drake stood right in front of Sky and Lilas and Ella where right behind her.

"Hey I know that kid!" Lilas said. She was pointing at a tall skinny boy with black hair.

"How?" Sky asked still looking at the boy.

"He lived in on our street when we were little but they moved when I was about four,"

"How do you recognize him?"

"Christmas cards mostly,"

Sky looked at Lilas and new something was up. Did they really know him or was she faking for attention. Either way there was defiantly more to the story than meets the eye. Like come on Christmas cards? Sky didn't believe it one bit.

"Look at that hat!" Drake said under his breath. On of the teachers carried a strange looking hat up to a stool. She explained that it was a sorting a and how it would decide what house you were going to be in. All the first years looked at each other. The moment they had been waiting for was here.

"Rian Blitworth," A short pale girl with oak hair walked up and sat down. At first the sorting at said nothing and Rian's face started turning red. The whole room was silent.

"RAVENCLAW!" The whole Ravenclaw tabled cheered and invited her over to their table.

Next was a boy name Olis Rimp. He was about the same hight as Drake and had the same hair color as Sky.

"This is what you guys would look like if you were combined!" Lilas laughed.

"Better be...HUFFLEFUFF!" The Hufflepuff tabled smiled and Olis walked over to them.

"Drake Arret," Drake froze, his body became stiff, and all the blood drained from his head.

"Go on Drake," Sky pushed him forward.

"Is he okay?" Lilas asked.

"Yeah he probably doesn't want to be in slytherin,"

"I don't blame him,"

"GRYFINDOR!" Drakes face lit up and he ran over to the Gryindor table. Sky started getting butterflies in her stomach.

"Sky Arret," The Butterflies moved to her throat and Sky slowly walked up in front of the whole school. No one was talking and there was no sound for miles. All eyes were on her. She breathed in and out slowly , it seamed like forever. Was it like this for Drake? Or did it happen fast? She would have to ask him later.

"Better be... HUFFLEPUFF!"

Sky smiled and walked to the Hufflepuff table. It was full of smiling people who welcomed her with a lot of hugs, maybe to many hugs, but Sky new that she was in her proper place.

A few more kids went and then it was Lilas's turn. She walked up looking confident as always. She sat down and the sorting hat was put one her.

"SLYTHERIN!" All the color from Lilas's face drained out like a bath tub. The Slytherin table was cheering but Lilas just walked over to the table and sat down. She put on a fake smile and started talking to the other Slytherin. Her eyes were sparkling because of the tears in her eyes but you could only tell from far away.

Next was Ella and what her sister just went through Sky had no idea what house she would be put into.

"HUFFLEPUFF!" Sky smiled. At least there was one person she new in her house.

After sorting was done a great feast appeared on the table.

"Wow look at all this food!" Ella said grabbing everything she saw.

Sky filled her plate and started eating.

"Are you worried about your sister Ella?" Sky asked in a quiet voice so no one else at the tabled could hear.

"...Of course I am," Ella looked at her sister. She wasn't eating but she was talking to the person sitting next to her.

"I'm guessing she didn't want to be in Slytherin,"

"No one in our family has been a Slytherin before. Our great Grandma was in Huffleuff like me, and Mom's brother was in Gryfindor. Everyone else in our family has been in Ravenclaw,"

"How are your parents going to react?"

"They probably won't be happy,"

"Well who cares? Right now we should celebrate, and deal with this later!"

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely!"

Ella looked back at her sister one last time and then turned around again, and then smiled...

"This is going to be a great year...,"
