Part One (B): The Sorting Ceremony
Whilst the first years are waiting to be shown in, the other students take their places in the great hall...
Andromeda Black takes a sneaky stroll past the Ravenclaw table and manages an even sneakier smile at a certain Mr Ted Tonks. The minx!
It turns out Ted Tonks is rather fond of minxes...
It also turns out that Andromeda is quite possibly as mad as a hatter and is enjoying a conversation with some floating candles.
Ted Tonks is not at all put off by this, and walks over to the Slytherin table.
With a rather wry smile he says "Hello Andromeda."
(omfg, I am so totally in love with Ted Tonks. I have absolutely no idea why he turned out so hot).
Ted: *whispers* I've really missed you.
*Le sigh.*
Andromeda: Shit! My Sister's just walked in.
Ted: So what? I don't care if the whole world knows you're my girlfriend.
Andromeda: No, but I do.
"Jesus, Andromeda! I never know where I stand with you!" Ted sighs.
Here comes Bellatrix now. And she's just as hot as Ted. I love my sims!
Ted: Andromeda?
(I could totally cry for Ted Tonks in this picture :'(. He looks so lost and hurt).
Lucius: Does your sister know this guy?
(Then again, I could totally cry for Andromeda in this picture. She looks so sad. And guilty).
Bellatrix: Andy, who is this joker?
Andromeda: No one. No one at all.
o_deanna: *hugs Ted*
Here's Alice...er...*mumbles surname* soon to be Longbottom, waiting with the other first years for her name to be called. James is staring longingly at a red headed temptress to his left...but she seems to be otherwise engaged...
Remus and Lily seem to be getting on like a house on fire: "Oh my god! That's my favourite book too!"
James is tearing his hair out: "She's touching HIS ARM!"
Sirius is apparently fascinated: "Blimey!"
But Remus seems to be having some sort of sorting-hat-induced panic attack.
Lily: OMG, Remus are you alright?
James: *Sniggers*
For some reason Dumbledore doesn't want to look Professor McGonagall in the eye, but he's keen to start the proceedings: "Err, whenever you're ready, Minerva." Horace Slughorn seems to be highly amused by Dumbledore's embarrassment. I dread to think.
"Aren't we getting a speech from Dumbledore this year, then?" asks Ted Tonks, sexily lifting one eyebrow. He even looks hot from a distance I can't wait to see him in his quidditch gear.
Obviously not, because Professor McGonagall shouts "BLACK, SIRIUS!" And all eyes turn to the new students...
Madam Pomfrey and Argus Filch are late joining the ceremony. Again, I dread to think. An art-gallery-alibi? A likely story.
McGonagall narrows her eyes and says "I don't think we need the hat to tell us which table you'll be sitting at, Mr Black." Dumbledore looks uncomfortable "err...Minerva? I don't think that's very professional of you..."
Sirius looks over at his cousins on the Slytherin table. He really doesn't want to be in Slytherin. Dumbledore couldn't care either way and is discussing the Royal Shakespeare Company version of Macbeth that he saw last week.
...And the hat sayeth "GRYFFINDOR!"
And I sayeth "YAY!"
Kinglsey Shacklebolt and Frank Longbottom sayeth "WOW! No fucking way!"
And Bellatrix...doesn't sayeth anything at all. But she scowls.
Oh, no, wait...now she has something to say. "I've never liked Sirius, so I can't say I had high expectations...but still, I can't believe the little bastard ended up in Gryffindor. I'm gonna make him pay for this, Lucius. Mark my words!"
Eep.
Sirius: My mother is seriously gonna cut my balls off for this.
Sirius: But you know, whatever, I could always wear make-up and pass myself off as Bellatrix's younger, more attractive sister.
Extra Gryffindor character, only created to fill the table: Exactly!
(Aww, Sirius looks so small, sat with all the older boys. Bless)
"EVANS, LILY!"
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Peter: Omgomgomgomg, what’s your surname again Remus? Am I before you???
Remus looks on, with either disdain or pity, I’m not sure which.
"LUPIN, REMUS JOHN!"
Remus strides out bravely. I feel strangely proud *wipes away a tear.* He’s faced far worse than this in his life. The Hat doesn’t even pause for breath…“GRYFFINDOR!”
He’s a little surprised, he was expecting Ravenclaw, but he’s glad he gets to sit with the dark haired boy he met at the station. He seemed like fun.
“POTTER, JAMES!”
James: *is shitting himself*
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Frank Longbottom: Jesus, another one? The common room’s gonna be packed!
YESSSSSSSSS!!!!111!!!eleventyone!!! James is so happy to be in Gryffindor with the cute red headed girl Sirius and Remus. And Peter.
McGonagall smiles, "Welcome to my house, Mr Potter!"
Sirius: "Wow! I can't believe we all ended up in the same house! *beams!*"
With the Sorting Ceremony over, the students, new and old, retire to their respective common rooms. As they file past, the Slytherins scare the be-jesus outta me.
...And at this point Dumbledore walked straight into the camera with, what we can only assume was an extremely itchy nose.
Kingsley, being the 5th year prefect, is asked to show the littl'uns to their dorm. Awww.
