good evening professor dumbledore. are the rumors true albus?
and the boy?
do you think it wise to trust hagrid w.  something as important as this?
this boy will be famous. there won't be a child in our world who doesn't know his name.
welcome to hogwarts. now, in a few moments you will pass through these doors and join your classmates. but before you take your seats, you must be sorted into your houses. they are gryffindor, hufflepuff, ravenclaw, and slytherin. now while you're here your house will be like your family. your triumphs will earn you points. any rule breaking and you will loose points. at the end of the year, the houses with the most points is awarded the house cup.
the sorting ceremony will begin momentarily.
we're ready for you. follow me.
will you wait along here please. now before we begin, professor dumbledore would like to say a few words.
when i call your name you will come forth, i shall place the sorting hat on your head, and you will be sorted into your houses. hermione granger!
draco malfoy!
susan bones!
ronald weasley!
harry potter
your attention please.
thank-you for that assessment mr. weasley. perhaps it would be more useful if i transfigured mr. potter and yourself into a pocket watch. that way one of you might be on time.
then perhaps a map? i trust you don't need one to find your seats.
harry potter! follow me. you wait here.
professor quirrell, excuse me, excuse me could i borrow wood for a moment, please?
potter, this is oliver wood. wood i have found you a seeker.
oh my goodness! explain yourselves both of you!
miss. granger?
be that as it may, it was an extremely foolish thing to do. i would have expected more rational behavior on your part and am very disappointed in you miss. granger. five points will be taken from gryffindor for your serious lack of judgement. as for you two gentle i just hope you realize how fortunate you are. not many first year students could take on a fully grown mountain troll and live to tell the tale. five points will be awarded to each of you, for sheer dumb luck.
good evening. nothing i repeat nothing gives a student the right to walk about the school at night. therefore as punishment for your actions, 50 points will be taken.
each. and to ensure that it doesn't happen again all four of you will receive detention.
no you heard me correctly mr. malfoy. you see, honorable as your intentions were you too were out of bed after hours. you will join you classmates in detention.
im afraid professor dumbledores not here. he received an urgent owl from the ministry of magic and left immediately for london.
how did you know ---?
i dont know how you three found out about the stone but i assure you it is perfectly well protected. now would you go back to your dormitories quietly.
