The boat ride across wasn’t quite as exhilarating as it was the first time, but it was still great fun. I entered the entry hall and looked once again at the Sorting Hat, except this time, I wasn’t surprised when the rip in the hat appeared and it began to sing:

When I was newly made,
And quite naïve
I began to hear the things that people think.
And when I looked inside
In some, I saw fear
In others anger
Still in others, I saw hatred

But, in the root
People are all the same
It does not matter
On your race, creed, or religion

The only things
That defines who we are…
Are the choices we make,
And the paths we choose.

Remember my message,
Learn it well.

I burst into applause along with the rest of the school and proceeded to be introduced.

“The first student I want to call is our transfer from London Witching Academy, Ms. Alexandria Malfoy.”
There was hush over the hall as my name was called.

“Ms. Malfoy, if you would try the hat on please.”

I strode up and put the hat back on.

“Good stuff you have in here, good stuff. You know, your brother is a git? You just need a little more experience. I like what you think. My decision has been made.”

“Really?” I said/thought to the hat.

You’ll be in…
“…GRYFFINDOR!!!!!” The hat yelled to the crowd.

I was greeted with a roar of applause and claps…from Ron, Ginny, Harry, and Heromine. The rest of the house seeing this soon joined in with them. I sat down between Heromine and Harry (Ron was on Harry’s left.)

“What do you think guys? Should I shame my family next week or this week?”

“Next week…most defiantly Alex.” Harry said with a laugh.

The sorting continued and I watched all the terrified first years get sorted into all their houses. Gryffindor gained with the addition of me ten first years. We greeted each the same and we had great fun doing it. The Hall was a place full of lights when you are around the company of your loved ones.

Much too soon Professor Dumbledore stood to introduce the school to a new year.
“I would like to welcome everyone to a new school year. There will time for unnecessary hubbub and nonsense later. For now, tuck in.”

It shocked me that what Dumbledore said was different than he did the first time that I went through this progress. I studied Dumbledore for a time after he spoke with wonderment. Could he know? He could not, because if he did then I would have to go back again and repeat the timeline. That would break my heart in two.
