20 Hogwarts I

Time skip: 1 month

The World Cup happened smooth and all went according to our plans: French Team became the champions (Apollo 11F was a game-changer. The brooms became an attraction in Olympus Mall after - but I took one of them for me. Hehe It will be easy to play Quidditch in Hogwarts) and we sold a lot of iBK (it was the first time that wizards took so many pictures - I might try to create a FaceWizard later).

Now, I will finally go to Hogwarts (I received the letter last month). I'm kinda excited.

And I bought my official wand (didn't happen something dramatic like for Harry. Ollivander told me about my wand, but I didn't take much attention).

"So you are finally going, Young Master"

"Don't be so sad, Alfred. With the iBK, we can communicate at any time."

He only nodded. For the opposite, there is someone very happy

"We finally going to study together, Young Master" said Any with a smile

"Stopping calling him Master, Any. And you should be in my house" said Jason

"Blew" Any showed her tongue "No way"

"Don't worry Siscon, I will take good care of Any" I mocked him

"You you damn..."

"You can present to me your girl friends, Jason. So Any..."

She stopped me with her hands

"Don't listen to him, brother." and she turned to me "And you need to be a decent and good wizard, Young Master"

huh, this girl has some messy personality...

"So, let's getting going" said Alfred

We passed the wall and Hogwarts express was showed

"Why do we need to go by train?"

"Probably because of tradition, Young Master." he looked to me "take care! Call if you need any help"

"Yeah, don't worry. And I will try to not take Barney attention"

The train took some time to arrive at Hogwarts. Any was eager talking about school with her brother. I wasn't so interested so I sleep in Any lap (Jason was a little unhappy about that).

When we arrived, a half-giant was screaming for the first years to follow him. Just like in books, Hagrid seems a bit dumb to me.

When we started to get near the castle, I could hear Any screaming of excitement. I will not lie, even I was very excited. We stopped in front of a big door.

The door swung open at once. A tall, black-haired witch in emerald-green robes stood there. She had a very stern face

"The firs' years, Professor McGonagall," said Hagrid

"Thank you, Hagrid. I will take them from here"

She pulled the door wide. We followed Professor McGonagall across the flagged stone floor. Everyone could hear the drone of hundreds of voices from a doorway to the right (the rest of the school must already be here)

"Welcome to Hogwarts," said Professor McGonagall. "The start-of-term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into your houses. The Sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts. You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory, and spend free time in your house common room."

"The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each house has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your house points, while any rule-breaking will lose them. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the House Cup, a great honor. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours."

"The Sorting Ceremony will take place in front of the rest of the school. Now, form a line" Professor McGonagall told the first years "and follow me."

After we entered, she started "Burke, Ilan"

Well, I'm first. The hat started to talk to me.

'Hoh, interesting mind you have, Mr. Burke. Not only that, but you also have the four attributes: cunning, hard work, courage, and intelligence. Where should I put you? Not Gryffindor. Neither Hufflepuff. Ravenclaw or Slytherin?'

'How much of my mind you can read, hat?'

'I can't read your mind. To be precise I can read your traits'

Interesting, so I did all the precautions for nothing...

'Put me in Hufflepuff'

'Hufflepuff? Are you sure? You would do great in Slytherin!'

'I'm already doing great. I don't need those deadheads. Think about it, Hat. I will revive the Puff house to its former splendor. I can prove that Helga's opinion was right. More than that, I can make Hogwarts great again!'

'Hahaha hundreds of years, but this is the first time that someone persuades me with this huge proposal. Fine, let's see what you can do, Mr. Burke"

" HUFFLEPUFF" cried the hat
