"Our biggest challenge is Ravenclaw. The seventh year Glazer. She packs a deadly blow. Hear she can play any position too... but as long as Ray and Ed do what they usually do, and we get to that blasted snitch, we will be fine--" The Fifth year Gryffindor boys all stopped talking to hear the commotion going on at the Hufflepuff table. Raymond was confused, the crowd making it hard to see who it was. Then his shoulder got pushed to the side as Willow came rushing down the aisle, standing by the door. Ray smiled a bit. He knew she had a sense of courage in there somewhere. The sorting hat is good at decisions.

Just then the doors opened fully again after being shut. The students who were away from their tables immediately sat down. Willow seemed was still at the door. Standing there were the four Heads of the Houses. In the front was a brown hair woman dressed in scarlet and gold robes. She carried a dusty old hat in her hands. She looked down to see Willow. "Excuse me, Miss Matthews." The strong voice said, not seeming to be upset from her being up with the first years. She must have known what she was doing.

Hermione Weasley, the Head of Gryffindor walked by them followed by Slytherin's Cyril Voss, Ravenclaw's Elizabeth Dawn, and Hufflepuff's Rachel Blake. All wearing their house colors as they strode in. Hermione placed the hat on a wooden stool, and stood by it with a scroll in her hand. The rest took their seats at the head table. "Before we begin the ceremony... Headmaster Blevins would like to make some announcements..." There was confusion from the first years when they saw the headmaster seat not filled. But their thoughts were soon answered when in a flash and a cloud of smoke Headmaster Blevins appeared. He wore a dark purple robe, his snow white beard was long. He had steel gray eyes, they looked around with a twinkle of excitement and wonder, as if he saw something truly incredible. The first years were in an awe, and as the final members of the castle came in to the hall, the headmaster raised his hands to quiet them all down.
