"Banetto Lindsey!" I heard as we entered the Great Hall. The girl I talked to at platform 9 ¾ walked out of the crowd and to a chair near the teachers' table. A woman put a big old hat on her head.

After a few moments the hat shouted "Gryffindor!" My mouth dropped when I heard the hat talking. I looked to Mikey who didn't look shocked in any way.

He looked at me and asked "What's wrong dude?"

"You're not shocked about the talking hat?" I asked and he shook his head.

"Nope. Gee told me how the house sorting works. Someone should have warned you about a few things here. Okay, what you need to know is that you should try to avoid the house teachers. Specially the Slytherin one. Then, the staircases are moving but not like you know it from the muggle world. First years are not allowed to go to the town near the school..."

He suddenly was cut off by a girl turning around. "Hey Mikey! What happened to you two? You look as if you fell into the lake." She had shoulder length black hair which covered most of her eyes.

"Hi Alicia. Well, actually I fell into the lake and Frank had to get me out. You know why." Mikey said blushing, causing Alicia to giggle.

"Christa, it's your turn!" The girl next to Alicia said to a girl in front of her. The first girl had black hair, the other girl brown hair.

"Huh? Oh, sorry. I was lost in thoughts about that boy at the Hufflepuff table. The one with the long curly hair." Christa said and walked off to the talking hat.

"Hufflepuff!" it shouted as soon as it touched her head.

"So Christa is crushing on Ray?" I asked.

"Yes, she is. It's funny how she is too shy to actually talk to him. And Ray doesn't want to admit that he likes a younger girl." Alicia said. A few other people got sorted and then...

"Iero Frank!" the woman shouted. I walked past the huge crowd of first years and to the chair. I sat down and the woman put the hat on my head.

"Hmm... Hard decision. You're smart so you would fit into Ravenclaw. You know how to act around muggles so Hufflepuff would also be a good place for you. Maybe Slytherin since you can be really mean. Or Gryffindor because you're a brave person." I heard the hat's voice in my head. I got pretty nervous now. 'Not Ravenclaw, not Hufflepuff.' I thought.

"You don't want Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. Then you get into..." it whispered. "GRYFFINDOR!" it shouted so everyone could hear it. I stood up and walked to the table, looking for Lindsey.

"Hey Frankie! You got Gryffindor?" I heard her say. I sat down on the other side of the table.

"Yeah! You look like you're sad. What's wrong Lindsey?" I asked.

"Christa got Hufflepuff and I got Gryffindor. And Jamia just got into Ravenclaw. Now I can only hope that Alicia get's here." she explained.

"I guess I never gonna understand girl cliques. Well, never mind." I said more to myself.

"It's easier than you might think. Girls who are best friends just hate it to be separated. Even guys should be able to get that."

"Hey! You wonna say that all guys are stupid? That's stereotyping!" I said, faking angriness.

She laughed and said "Aww, sorry dude. I'm just nervous to be in this new place."

We continued talking about unimportant things like favorite bands, movies and books.

I noticed that Lily walked past me and sat down next to two older boys which both hugged her. Maybe her brothers then.

Suddenly Lindsey said "Damn it. Slytherin." I gave her a questioning look. "Liz got Slytherin. Now we can only hope for Mikey to get here. It's gonna be his turn soon since there aren't many people left." After a few other sorted people Mikey was the only one left.

"Way Michael!" Mikey walked to the chair and the hat shouted "Ravenclaw!"

"Who's that woman anyways?" I asked Lindsey.

"She's the headmistress. Professor McGonagall took this place after Dumbledore and Snape, the two previous headmasters, died about twenty years ago."

"Why did two headmasters die so short after the other?" I asked.

"It was in a magical war. Voldemort and his followers tried to kill Harry Potter. Melfoy killed Dumbledore and Voldemort killed Snape though he was one of his followers. What nobody knew was that Snape was a double agent who worked for Dumbledore and gave him information about Voldemort's plans. In the end Potter killed Voldemort. If you want to know details just ask one of the Potter children."

A tall girl with long blonde pigtails stood up and shouted "Everyone from Gryffindor follow me to the tower!" Everyone stood up and walked out of the Great Hall.

"And who's that girl?" I asked.

"Nathalie Mason is our house representative. If we have a problem with something we have to go to her and she'll try sort it out or tell a teacher about it."

"How comes you know all these things? You're a first year too."

"I've been here when they said all these things. The story about Harry Potter everyone knows though." We arrived at a small platform with only one banister.

"That's the other meaning of 'moving staircase'." Suddenly there swung stairs to the platform and Nathalie ordered us to get on them before they move again.

"How deep does it go down there?" I asked nervous, daring to look down there.

"Don't know. About hundred meters I think. If you fall down there you're dead for sure. And you better try not to get lost in the school."

After about six staircases we came to the tower and Nathalie told us that the password was pumpkin pie. 'What a strange password.' I thought.

I got into a room with three other boys. The first one had brown hair, gray eyes and wore glasses. His name was Joshua. The second one was a ginger with green eyes and his name was Alex. And the last one was blonde with blue eyes. His name was Manuel.

We talked for a while but I soon found out they all were into stuff I totally hated. So I took my mp3 player and let the Misfits blast through my head. After a while I fell asleep, headphones still in my ears and the guys still talking about shit.
So~ Here's Chapter 7 of my collab with ~MorganeXD
Frankie's room mates are just normal unimportant guys.

(a little hint for one of my next chapters: "flying broomstick")

ENJOY!
