Ch. 3 - The Sorting Part 2
Still Harry's POV
"And now for the second group of students, the mages of the guild Fairy Tail!" Professor McGonagall announced, picking up a second, longer scroll and putting down the first as the group of mages came up to the front silently...The professor unraveled the new scroll and called the first name..."
"Dragneel, Natsu!"
Harry watched as a cocky looking pink haired boy came up to the stool and sat down. The hat immediately declared: "GRYFFINDOR!"
Harry and his table cheered once again, Annabeth and the other new arrivals settling for loud applause. The boy called Natsu, stopped and sniffed the air, seeming to look for something, before he turned toward Harry's group and bounded over to sit in an empty space next to them. He grinned at the large group, then said something in a different language.
"ねえ、あなたも、右ここに新しいしていますか?"
"Um, I'm...sorry, we...can't understand you?" Harry stuttered.
"何!私は、誰もがこの言語を話したと思いました..."
Natsu looked unhappy at something, his face going into a pout. However, he put on a concentrating face and with great effort said, briefly, in halting English: "Dumb..led..ore?" He pronounced with a heavy Japanese accent, his face hopeful. "You're right," Annabeth said, smiling at the childish nature of the boy. "Dumbledore may be able to do something about it later." Natsu immediately brightened at her reassuring tone, then turned to the front of the Hall to watch the others get sorted.
"Fernandes, Jellal!"
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Fullbuster, Gray!"
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Heartfillia, Lucy!"
Natsu hooped as a blonde girl stepped up to the Sorting Hat. "GO LUSHY!" The house tables laughed, and the girl named Lucy blushed a deep red, glaring at Natsu. The girl had just sat down with the Hat over her eyes before the hat yelled: "GRYFFINDOR!" Natsu cheered along with the others, stamping his feet as she came over. As Lucy sat down beside him Harry saw her giggle, then slap Natsu lightly. "Baka..." Harry thought he heard her mumble under her breath. The Sortings continued, each time getting an almost immediate response from the Hat.
"Lockster, Juvia!"
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
For some bizarre reason, the blue haired girl burst into tears, wailing: "まさか!私は一緒にいたいです Gray-sama!" Harry looked over to where the black haired teen from before had sat down at the Slytherin table. He was blushing a deep beet red. Gray quickly looked at his other friends from Fairy Tail, who gave him sympathetic looks, before he blew her a kiss reluctantly. As if a lever had been pulled, the tears stopped and Juvia almost fainted with happiness before she stumbled over to the Hufflepuff table, seemingly lovestruck. Everybody laughed lightly at the show, even the professors, before returning their attention to the Sorting.
"Marvel, Wendy!"
"RAVENCLAW!"
"McGarden, Levy!"
"RAVENCLAW!" Next to Harry, Lucy and Natsu cheered loudly for the blue haired petite girl as she walked over to the Ravenclaw table.
"Redfox, Gajeel!" Everyone fell silent as a very tall and intimidating teen with a lot of piercings walked over to the stool. Everybody was scared except for the Fairy Tail mages and the teachers. "I wouldn't want to cross him!" Ron whispered to Harry, Harry personally agreeing.
"SLYTHERIN!"
The blue haired girl that Lucy and Natsu cheered loudly for looked sad for the teen called Gajeel, looking at him from the Ravenclaw table where she sat next to the almost identical smaller, blue-haired girl named Wendy. The Sortings continued. "Hurry up already." Ron moaned, rubbing his empty stomach ruefully. Harry elbowed him again.
"Scarlet, Erza!" The red-headed girl in armor that Harry had seen earlier came up to the stool and sat down, her posture a cross between a warrior's and a queen.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
She went to sit down next to all her other teammates at Harry's table, where she was cheered for loudly.
"And finally, Strauss, Mirajane!" A very pretty, white-haired girl, the last of her group, came to the stool and gracefully sat down. She smiled sweetly at the wave of students looking at her.
"SLYTHERIN!"
Everybody was shocked at this seemingly sweet girl ending up to be a Slytherin, of all houses! The girl, Mirajane, dutifully sat down next to Gray at the Slytherin table, all of the boys leering at her. She smirked deviously at them. Harry gulped, he certainly wouldn't get in her way! "Once again, welcome to Howarts, students of Fairy Tail." Dumbledore said, kindly clapping along with all the other students' applause. "Now, we are having an...interesting predicament for the next group." Dumbledore announced. The students stopped and looked at him. "Only the one named Jack Frost shall be sorted. The others of the Guardians are to be placed as honored guests at the castle." Professor McGonagall immediately called out by memory, "Frost, Jack!"
The white haired boy Harry had seen earlier detached from his group and padded up to the stool, his staff clanking against the ground and his bare feet padding silently against the cold, stone floor. The hat, once placed above his head, opened its mouth and began to muse again. "Oh, you have a long history, don't you, Guardian of Winter." Everyone, including the new arrivals, was confused by this. Guardian of Winter? He doesn't guard a season!
"However, because of your noble doings and your fun-loving nature, you are most decidedly a GRYFFINDOR!"
Everybody politely clapped, while the Gryffindor house cheered the loudest. They had never gotten this many students before! The boy smiled in relief, before hopping off the stool and striding over to the table he sat in an unoccupied spot, across from Harry. "Hi, I'm Harry, Harry. Welcome to Gryffindor!" Harry smiled warmly, reaching out a hand to shake Jack's. His hands are cold, Harry thought briefly, before the boy gave him and all the newcomers a grin. "I'm Jack Frost, but you can just call me yack."
Dumbledore clapped along with the students, before nodding to McGonagall, who swiftly rolled up the scroll and picked up the quiet hat, ready to leave. "Yes, yes, congratulations to all of our new transfers. Now that the Sorting has been completed—"
Suddenly, without warning, the Great Hall's imposing wooden gates banged open once more, revealing a squad of four girls in the threshold.
The new arrivals and students murmured, not sure if it was another group or...
"What—Who are you, and what are you doing on Hogwarts property?!" Dumbledore roared at the girls, who were smirking, unfazed at his outrage.
Oh my Primus, I am so sorry for the delay ;-; At least it is here now xD
I had no idea this would take this long to rewrite, but I hoped you enjoyed! I am posting another rewritten chapter today :3
