Author's Notes:

I do not own any of the characters, all rights go to Rick Riordan and J.K.Rowling. Also I wasn't feeling entirely creative so for the first part you will find it's almost exactly like the book. Now read on.

Harry's POV 3rd Person

-=x=-

After a boat ride across a lake, ( which Percy seemed really excited about but not Tahlia and Nico, they looked extremely pale.) they reached Hogwarts and it was huge. Hagrid walked the group of young witches and wizards up a flight of stone steps before raising his gigantic fist and knocking on the castle door.

The door swung open at once and in the frame stood a tall and very stern looking witch. Harry knew instantly that he did not want to cross her. Hagrid said something to the woman and she replied back before pulling the door wide open. The woman gestured for them to follow her so they did. The group followed the woman into a large Entrance Hall where they stood in front of a massive set of doors.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, I am Professor McGonagall," said the woman. "The start of term feast will begin shortly, however before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into 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, Gryffindor for the brave, Hufflepuff for the loyal, Ravenclaw for the witty and Slytherin for the cunning. Each house has its own noble history and each produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn you house points whereas any rule breaking will lose house points. At then end of the year, the house with the most points gets awarded the House Cup. Now that you are informed on everything, we must start The Sorting Ceremony."

----------------------------------------------

Harry was looking in awe at the room, it's enchanted ceiling , the four long house tables and most importantly the talking hat that sorts us into our houses.

Professor McGonagall cleared her throat to get everyone's attention.

"When I call your name, you will put the hat on and sit on the stool to be sorted," she said." Abbott, Hannah!"

A small girl with blonde pigtails ran up to be sorted. A moment's pause-

"HUFFLEPUFF!" shouted the hat. Hannah Abbott then ran to sit with the Hufflepuff table on the right.

"Bones, Susan."

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

"Boot, Terry."

"RAVENCLAW!"

"Brocklehurst, Mandy!"

"RAVENCLAW!"

"Brown, Lavendar."

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Bulstrode, Millicent."

"SLYTHERIN!"

Harry was starting to get worried now, what if he put the hat on and it didn't say anything and then Professor McGonagall would come and say that there was a mistake and he wasn't supposed to be here. Harry hadn't noticed he had zoned out until "Di Angelo, Nico" was called.

Harry looked to the front where he saw one of the people he sat with on the train walk nervously to the front. 

The sorting hat seemed to take a lot longer this time to decide but when it did it shouted-

"GRYFFINDOR!"

The Gryffindor table broke into applause and Nico, looking relieved, walked over to the table and sat down waiting for his friends to join him.

The names kept going.

"Finch-Fletchley, Justin."

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

"Finnigan, Seamus."

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Next was, "GRACE, TAHLIA."

Harry noticed Tahlia flinched when her last name was called but thought nothing of it. Like Nico, the sorting hat took longer to sort her but she too went to Gryffindor.

"Granger, Hermione."

Hermione almost ran to the stool and jammed it eagerly on her head.

"GRYFFINDOR!" shouted the hat. Harry heard Ron groan beside him.

"Jackson, Perseus."

Percy walked up to the hat and put it on his head.

"GRYFFINDOR!" it shouted. Percy ran to sit with his friends before looking at the rest of the group getting sorted.

"Longbottom, Neville."

"GRYFFINDOR!" the hat shouted. Neville in his excitement ran to the table with the hat still on and everyone burst into laughter.

Malfoy, Draco."

Draco swaggered up to the front and the hat had barely brushed his head before it shouted "SLYTHERIN". (A/N I only just realised I forgot to add Draco into the story but pretend they've all already met and they hate him.).

"McClean, Piper."

Piper walked nervously up to the front but like her friends she was sorted into Gryffindor.

In no time at all it was finally Harry's turn.

"Potter, Harry." 

Whispers broke out all across the hall and it surprised Harry to know that all these people had heard of him. He thought that Hagrid was just exaggerating when he said every wizard knew who he was.

The hat took a while to decide  which house Harry should go in, and for one horrible moment it was about to say Slytherin when it shouted Gryffindor instead. Harry went to sit with the Gryffindor table while other people were looking extremely proud that they had gotten Harry Potter in their house.

Harry waited until he heard Ron's name being called out. Ron approached the sorting hat looking pale.

"GRYFFINDOR!" shouted the hat. Harry cheered as Ron came and sat next to him.

Dumbledore gave a short speech before mountains of food suddenly appeared on the table.

"There's no blue food!" complained Percy. Piper swatted his arm but she was laughing. Harry wondered why Percy loved blue food so much. 

The newly sorted Gryffindors all sat close together at the table. For a while the Gryffindors were talking to a ghost named Nearly Headless Nick but then the talk turned to families.

"I'm half and half," said Seamus. "Me dad's a muggle. Mam didn't tell him she was a witch 'til after they were married. Bit of a nasty shock for him."

The others laughed.

"Me, Pipes, Nico and Tahlia here are also Half Blood," said Percy.

"What about you Neville?" asked Ron

----------------------------------------

It was a long time before the new Gryffindors were finally shown to the Common Room by Percy Weasley who also showed them where the dormitories were. By that time everyone was exhausted and after stuffing himself full of food Harry felt like he would sleep like a log. 

When they got to the boy dormitory everyone dibbsed a bed. Harry was sharing a dormitory with Percy (Jackson), Ron, Seamus, Nico, Neville and Dean. As soon as Harry's head hit the pillow he fell asleep instantly and judging by the snores of  6 other people, the others did too.
