Adam's pov:
Small chatters started.
The brown haired boy was still near me.
I felt like it was weird that I don't know his name.
"Hey... What's your name?"
I asked the boy.
He was stunned for a moment.
"I..I ...am Ren...Anderson"
He said .
"I am Adam Be--"
"I know"
The boy intercepted.
"~oh~"
"..."
"...."
'this is awkward , I still can't get used to this kind of things.'
"I mean... Everyone knows you...right..?"
"I guess so.... and in the train, I was tired,
And wasn't in a state to talk. So don't take it to heart"
"No... It was actually good. I don't like talking much too. It was a good time."
'Me too '
"..."
"Which group do you think you would be ?"
Adam asked.
"I guess I would be in ravenclaw. What abou - oh~ I shouldn't be asking"
'.....'
"Why ? "
"With that much konwlege. It's definitely ravenclaw.it was the most voted in the prophet."
I forgot that thing...
I was literally a child celebrity combitating with none other than Gilderoy Lockhart.
"Then let's spend more time togeth... "
something happened that made me jump.
several people behind me screamed.
"What the -- ?!"
About twenty ghosts had just streamed through the back wall.
Pearly-white and slightly transparent.
they came from a wall and vanished through another.
"You hadn't seen a ghost?"
Ren asked in surprise.
"Not this many...you had ? "
"Offcourse yes "
He looked at Adam like Adam was weird.
"Who did you see..?"
"For one my grandma and her band, and I always go picnic to Scarte"
"Which is....?"
"You don't know ?! - "
"The Sorting Ceremony's about to start." Professor McGonagall had returned.
"Now, form a line,"
Professor McGonagall told the first years
"and follow me."
They got into the line and walked out of the chamber, back across the hall, and through a pair of double doors into the Great hall
.
.
.
.
.
The room which was full of chatter dropped significantly when they entered.
"There....he....."
"Did.... you..... see"
"There..."
"I can't see"
As I walked many gazes followed me. Including proffessers, a short professer had a creepy smile.
' am I the main character now...??'
I wasn't nervous.
Actually I wasn't sure which team I was going to be in.
Everyone thinks I would be in Ravenclaw.
In the voting of the prophet 90 percentage was for Ravenclaw
But, personally I would like to be in Gryffindor.
I mean That's were real mc is...
Seriously....who wouldn't want to be...?
'I am pretty brave right..'
In the front , Professer McGonagall set a stool and a hat.
Pindrop silence.
Then it sang.
To me you come for sorting
To me you come for teaming
To me you come for parting
To me you come for living
It's me who keeps you company
Of those who have more empathy
It's me who takes you to victory
With those who have more history
If you are brave...
Sing with me...! . It shouted.
Ifyou're brave...
"GRYFFINDOR..." Everyone sang
If you're clever.....
"RAVENCLAW"
if you're just
"HUFFLEPUFF"
And if you have goal.....
"SLYTHERIN "
Sooo.....
Put me on
Put me on
Let me tell you something
Beli 'mme yo'
Beli' mme yo'

Cause

The.....
SORTING HAT...
Clap....clap.....clap
The hall applauded.
Then Proffesser McGonagall came forward.
"When I call your name, you will put on the hat and sit on the stool to be sorted," she said.
"Aden, devis !"
A boy with dark hair and dark eyes came forward.
He didn't seem to be nervous. He walked with confidence unusual for a eleven year boy.
He sat on the stool.just when the hat touched the boy's head, it shouted
"Slytherin! "
A long table clapped ,to which the boy joined.
"Anderson, Ren"
'wow that was fast.'
"Good luck" I told to ren.
He looked a little nervous.
He walked to the podium and sat on the stool.
The hat covered half his face.
It took a little time.
Then it shouted
" Ravenclaw ! "
He joined Ravenclaw table with applaud.
"Benson, Adam !"
' isn't it going too fast?'
The crowd went silent .
In the silence I walked to the stool.
"Sit down... I can't see"
"Oww .. isn't he handsome "
"There... There...."
And I put on the hat.
"Now let me see ..."
The hat started.
"I see a lot potential..... Clever too....
Oh...there it is.... Yes that's it.
After all that's all matters"
It shouted:
"Hufflepuff !"
*
*
*
Silence.....
"What....?"
Someone exclaimed.
Then the hell broke out.
Applud thundered fron the table to the right.
It was the biggest until then.
I walked to the Hufflepuff table.
I heared many congratulations.
But I was disappointed.
I thought the hat could give me choice.
But it didn't .
'well then, Hufflepuff it is'
I thought.
The sorting continued. While My eyes wandered to the left most table.
The table itself had a crimson glow. signifying it's house.
'there she is...'
She was looking right at me.
Her eyes enlarged in a emote of surprise .
*What... the... hell... was.. that...*
She mouthed.
A chuckle got out my mouth.
When she enlarged her eyes.I could see my favourite part clearly.
Her eyes ...
Since the hall's light had a red glow , it reflected in her eyes.
The mix of red with her darkish brown was mesmerizing.
Two hands dangled infront of me.
Parvathi was waving her hands.
" ooh "
*I don't know*
I mouthed back.
And started looking for the protagonist.
But to my disappointment I couldn't see him.
' Were the hell is the protagonist??'
'Isn't he supposed to be here?'
I was genuinely confused.
Where could be the protagonist if not the school.
The it clicked.
'is this were the scene were they came flying with the car???'
' i want to see it..'
"Kkrrr "
"Ahh..were are you going..?"
The boy sitting next to me asked.
"Oh"
' lost it for a moment ! '
I sat down.
"Nowhere just getting comfortable."
"Oh"
"What's your name "
I asked, trying to start a conversation to mask the embrassment.
"Owen cauldwell"
He said with a extended hand.
I took it .
"And you..?"
"What....?"
"Your name...?"
"My name..?"
"Yes yours bro"
"You don't know..?"
I was surprised.
"Yes I know...man , But that's the way you indroduce .
Hello my name in Owen and yours....?.
Isn't it how you start a conversation.???"
"Well... sort of"
"What..?! Sort of??? ... No ....I was being cool.
Then how do you introduce "
He asked.
" Well that depends...."
"On..?"
"Situation "
" As in ..?"
"You tell me the situation.." I told.
I was ready for the challenge.
Then the girl who was sitting next to Owen intercepted.
"I will tell...I will tell"
"Okay"
Bring it on...
"How will you start conversation with the lady who you have crush on"
'How would I know that...??'
I wasn't taught that in any of my personality class.
the girl I have crush on .....
A girl I have crush on....
The brown pair of eyes came to my mind.
In the dazzling sunlight it was burning.
No...
Why am I thinking about her???
I have a crush on her?!
No.. no....no..
"Hey man you are taking so.. long . By this time she will be gone"
Owen said.
"Hear it comes."
I said.
I can't lose this..
Closing my eyes . I readied my trought.
"Ahmm ahmm"
I opened my eyes.
And looked straight at the girl. and started.
"Mm hello.... Wish I... am... Not irritating you... But...
'Parvathi came to my mind .
When she was dressed for hogwards in her first year.
she weared a casual white blouse and a red long skirt.'
Red and white combination looks good on you. And your eyes too.. they are...beautiful the brown colour has a reddish shade course of the light.
So I was thinking it could be good to know your name... Ahh.. ohh"
I chuckled.
And continued.
"I am adam .... Adam benson. And... You would be....?"
"Laura... Laura Madley."
She said with a smile.
"What the .....???. What with that expression...Laura...??? Gross .....
And he is not talking about you."
Owen said.
'Wow..Did it work... '
' I am good at this cringe stuff I guess..'
"No... He is..."
Laura looked frustrated.
"Yes, he is talking about someone else..... Where is your brown eye???? They are blue. And red and white...? you are wearing school uniform...."
"He....is not talking about me???
Not me ?! Then who?"
Her face suddenly changed from disappointment to curiosity.
They both jumped at me...
"Who is she ...?"
"Who is she...?"
They both started questioning eagerly.'
"No one... It was just imagination..."
I said.
"No...way your explanation was soooo clear...to be imagination...."
Laura said.
"Yeah....who had our famous adam fallen for...."
Owen supported.
"Oo...is he blushing....."
Laura said teasing.
"No I am not"
"What is it...?"
A warm senior who was sitting nearby enquired. With a creepy smile.
Every nerve in my system sent signal that this guy was dangerous.
"Our famous..-?--"
I closed Owen's mouth before he could tell.
Then Laura started the remaining.
"Adam has a..._?-mmm"
I closed her mouth with the other hand.
Their pressed mmmms heared.
"You know you can trust me junior...right ...?"
He said with a creepy smile.
"Yess... I know senior. We were just playing around."
At the sametime a glass sound Eccoed through the hall .
It was time for the headmasters speech.
Thank god..
