The sorting ceremony and the feast
Lily walked cautiously into the hall with the other first years. She wondered what the sorting ceremony would be like and was a bit nervous as the whole school would be watching. She watched the other first years getting called out and put into one of the four houses.
"Lily Bennett" the teacher called. Her heart pounding, Lily slowly stood up and walked to the chair. She could feel loads of eyes on her. She sat down cautiously and put the sorting hat on her head. The sorting hat immediately called " Hufflepuff". Lily heard loads of clapping from the second table on the left. Relieved it was over, she quickly ran over to the table and say down.
Soon, all the first years had been called and were sorted and after the headmaster's speech, lots of food appeared in the plates and Lily got excited. She was hungry and all the food on the table looked so good. To drink, there was a weird orange thing, which Lily soon learnt was called pumpkin juice. She enjoyed it all and enjoyed talking to all of the Hufflepuffs and her shyness seemed to melt away. Then, she discovered that it was ice cream and vanilla sponge for desert. Lily felt like she belonged here. "Maybe I will fit in here" she thought and after the final headmaster 's speech, she got up and ready to go to her new dorm.
