Today was the first day of term. The year was 2002, and many terrified students stood in front of the Headmistress. A few students had already been sorted, but many still remained. Headmistress Dagner peered down at her list to see the next name. "Faith Evelyn?" she called to the bunch of nervous first years. In the Headmistress's hand was an old hat, but this was no ordinary hat, this was the Hogwarts sorting hat, and was able to speak, think and sort people into their Hogwarts houses.

The brunette haired Faith nervously walked up to the front of the room. She was from a muggle background, and so she had no idea if this sorting hat was going to hurt or not. Maybe Faith was going to be rejected and sent back home. Faith didn't mind going hom, because she had been popular at Primary school, but maybe things weren't going to be so similar here. Faith had never preformed a spell in her life, and she had only found out she was a wizard a few weeks ago.
She nervously placed the hat on the head. Within a few seconds the hat quickly yelled out the words "Gryffinor" to the rest of the hall. Relived she ran over to the Gryffindor table, and was welcomed by a crowd of cheers from the Gryffindors. She sat next to a second year boy and his friend, who was sitting on the end of the table. "I'm glad that is over", she smiled.

"Tom Newman" Called Headmistress, looking down at her list, after a few more students had been sorted.

Leo cheered as the girl known as Faith sat down at the Gryffindor table. Him and Jason where in their 3rd year and it was still weird seeing other new first years being sorted. ''Jason, look, Tom's just been called''whispered Leo as he looked towards the small blond/brown haired first year.

Tom watched as the girl walked over to the Gryffindor table. He could see his brother Jason and his cousin Leo sitting at the table also. Before too long after staring at the ceiling, Tom heard his name being called. Without even a gulp or even a sound. Tom walked confidently towards the stool, grinning at a few people as he passed. And winking at two girls who looked his way and grinned. The hat only had to brush his blondish colored hair before it shouted, ''GRYFFINDOR!!''.
Looking over to the Gryffindor table as he walked to it, after placing the sorting hat down again, Tom grinned at Jason and Leo as he sat opposite them both. A few people lent over to shake his hand, and Tom happily shook their hands. ''Hey guys''laughed Tom as he looked at his brother and cousin with his shining hazel eyes.

Jason scanned the crowd for his brother - he was at the front. Jason had no idea what house he was going to be placed in. Hopefully Tom would make Gryffindor like the rest of the family, but Jason didn't think he was brave enough. Tom did have a mean streak, but he just wasn't cruel enough for Slytherin. He wasn't nerdy enough to reach Ravenclaw. Maybe Jason's brother was going to be the first to be put in Hufflepuff, where all of the other outcasts went.
"I wonder what house he's going to be put in." Said Jason, as his eyes followed Tom. He didn't seem too nervous. "I remember when we were here" he said, just as the house screamed 'Gryffinor'. Jason felt relived, but at the same time confused. The hat had placed Tom in the house quicker than Jason. Why was this?
"Congrats Tom!" Smiled Jason, as he held out his hand. There was a small glint of evil in his eye. Jason had always been a proud Gryffindor, and he knew that Tom hadn't put much thought into his house. "Now you've got a whole castle to destroy instead of just a house!" Jason chuckled, as he tried to push the thought to the back of his mind.
