When they got off the carriage and headed towards the castle doors a lady abruptly stood in front of them. Kagome blinked a few times, as did the others, and then Hermione realized who it was.
"Oh, hello Professor McGonagall."
Professor McGonagall nodded in acknowledgment to her, and the others, before looking to Kagome again.
"Kagome Higurashi?" She asked.
Kagome blinked and then answered. "Yes?"
"Come this way please." She said again and turned around swiftly without saying anything else.
Kagome looked back at the others with wondering eyes, and they wanted to follow, but she shook her head. McGonagall looked back at her as if her eyes were telling Kagome to hurry, and Kagome quickly turned to catch up.
They weaved through a few halls until they were in front of two big double doors. Laughter and cheerful chatter could be heard from them, even though they looked extremely thick. McGonagall sighed and looked at her. Kagome looked back, eyes maybe just a bit worried. McGonagall smiled at her reassuringly, though, and Kagome smiled lightly back. Her stomach was doing all sorts of twists and turns. She definitely didn't want to get sick, not here.
"Ready?" The professor beside her asked with reassurance in her voice. Kagome took a deep breath and nodded slowly. She straightened herself out, and then McGonagall tugged on the door handles.
Professor McGonagall walked in before her, with quick patient steps. Kagome took in step behind her, trying to match her stride so that she didn't seem too uncomfortable. She most definitely was, though, and when everything around them seemed to start getting quiet, and eyes bore into every part of her body, it made it worse.
Her eyes darted everywhere, seeing all different kinds of faces, hair and skin colors, genders, shapes, and sizes. She also saw ghosts glowing a misty silver color in the crowd. All heads were turned to her, all eyes looked at her. She didn't see anything hostile in their eyes, just wonder, amazement, awe, and curiosity. This made her relax a little more, but the staring she wasn't used to lately. She laughed to herself as she remembered how villagers in the feudal era stared at her because of the clothes she wore.
Then there was a murmur that caught Kagome's ear, and she noticed that they were doing more than staring; now they were pointing and whispering. Her shoulders tensed, and this time she knew she wouldn't be able to relax. McGonagall silenced them with a deathly glare that promised detention.
After they shut up McGonagall pointed her to where a chair was sat at the end of the staff table. Kagome nodded, and walked to it, sitting down cautiously. People were still taking glances at her, and when they caught her eyes, most of them would quickly look away. Kagome's eyes scanned the room because she felt more eyes on her.
She looked to the table on the right side of the hall, nearest to the doors, and caught Harry's eyes. They twinkled in her direction, and he grinned with a little wave. She smiled happily and waved back. Then she looked to the other sides of Harry and saw Hermione, Ron, Fred, and George. They weren't pointing and whispering, and this made her even happier.
'I have friends again…' She thought.
No one else from Harry's table was looking intently at her, and she scanned the table on the left side of the hall, also closest to the doors. She caught someone else's eyes, and her face almost flushed.
Draco Malfoy's left cheek had a fading red mark on it. His eyes were solemn as they looked at her, but they were also searching. For some reason, she felt the need to say sorry to him, as she remembered the event on the train. Her breath caught at the memory and was about to mouth an apology when he turned his head to some preppy looking girl beside him. He smiled at her and seemed to be flirting. Kagome's eyes narrowed. She saw him glance at her and another smirk appeared; it was mocking this time. He looked away again.
Kagome still hadn't figured out where those last set of eyes were looking at her from, and she looked around. No one at the other two tables was looking at her anymore, so she looked at the staff table.
Hagrid had waved to her when she first stepped in, but he wasn't looking over to her. It was another person, sitting to the left of Professor McGonagall. He had greasy black hair and a crooked nose. She read his expression and saw…resentment almost. He didn't look nice at all she decided. He also had no reason to be glaring at her.
She was about to glare back at him when there was a clinking sound of something tapping glass. She looked to Professor McGonagall as the people in the hall got quiet and looked to the same place. Professor Dumbledore had stood slowly but somewhat gracefully from his chair at the head of the table.
There was a twinkle in his eyes, which went along with the smile on his face. All the students smiled back up to him, except some of the Slytherins.
"We shall let the sorting begin." He spoke and then sat as Professor McGonagall stood.
She walked past Kagome, and before walking to the middle of the floor, she whispered, "You'll be sorted last after he gives his speech and everything. Since you're not really a first year."
Kagome nodded in understanding and watched her walk away in the same stride she had used to walk into the hall. She pulled open a pair of doors off to the side of the great hall and led a group of small children to the middle of the floor.
They all looked around, some cautious, some curious, and some excited. She smiled at the sight, reminded of Shippo and her foster brother. McGonagall unrolled a piece of parchment, and she started to read aloud after she told the kids what they were to do when she called their names.
Andrea Wagaman, Jimmy Bushnell, Justin Phillips, Shannon Reese, and so many other names were called out. They sat on the stool in front of everyone, as the magical hat decided what house to place them in. When it did, the house it chose for the first year would cheer and congratulate them. Kagome clapped for them all, knowing soon enough that she'd have to do that.
When all the first years were placed, McGonagall went back to her seat, and Professor Dumbledore stood once more.
"Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Now that you have had your welcome, I have some notices before you dig into your food." Kagome was confused since there was no sign of food on the tables.
"We shall have a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor as soon as we possibly can. Until then, I shall teach you. As everyone knows, the Forbidden Forest is forbidden. There should be no magic being used between classes in the corridors. Quidditch trials will be held in a few weeks, so if you wish to play talk to Madam Hooch. Also don't forget, common rooms 9 pm sharp! Now for the Sorting Hat to sing!" He said merrily and sat down again.
Kagome looked to the hat sitting on the stool, as did everyone else. The rip at the brim opened and it began to sing. When it was done everyone cheered more silently than the last time, because the hat had sung of possible danger this year, again. It also sang of love and friendship, and other things it normally never had. So they thought it a bit weird. They all stopped their murmuring, though because Dumbledore was on his feet once more.
"Now, that was interesting. I think this year will be a great year at Hogwarts. But before the food gets eaten, and the drinks get drunken we have one last person to sort. And I shall do the honors." He smiled politely at Kagome as he walked to her. "Come now Kagome Higurashi."
Kagome stood up hesitantly, not wanting them to stare, point, and whisper at her again. They were of course, and she put on a brave façade as she walked to the stool with Professor Dumbledore.
She sat down quickly after he had scooped up the hat. All eyes on her, some happy, some cautious or curious. She looked over to where Harry and the others sat and saw their smiling faces looking towards her. They had hope in their expressions. She smiled back a little less worried.
Fred and George whistled at her, which made her smile grow. There was laughter in their watchful eyes.
'I hope I get in Gryffindor.' She thought to herself and nodded to Professor Dumbledore so he could place the hat to her head.
Dumbledore lowered the hat close to her head, and it was about an inch from her, when it started to hiss and twist about. Everyone's eyes got huge as saucers, and their mouths dropped open at the sight. Then the hat started to screech as it writhed.
"She belongs in Hufflepuff! No, wait she belongs in Ravenclaw! NO, NO, that's not right. Slytherin! No Gryffindor!" It seemed extremely confused, and even in terrified pain.
Everyone in the hall was holding their breath as it stopped screaming and the Gryffindors thought for sure she was in their house. But when Dumbledore almost pulled the hat away, it shouted again in an extremely loud voice.
"SLYTHERIN!"
Then everything was silent…
