//------------------------------// // Welcome to Hogwarts // Story: Which house will Twilight be in? // by Oxyaction //------------------------------// "Hello students and welcome to Hogwarts. Shortly, just through those doors you will face sorting. For those who don't know there are three houses in Hogwarts." "Professor, I thought there were four?" Twilight Sparkle, a young unicorn said, butting in rudely. "I know that but nothing ever happens in Hufflepuff." Professor Neighgonagall said "Anywho, as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, there are 4 houses in Hogwarts. There is Slytherin, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Puffahouse. Now I will be back in a moment." "Oh I'm so excited, I wonder if im going to be in Gryfindor!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed excitedly. "Calm down Rainbow Dash, we are only here as part of an exchange program to "increase relations" with our wand carrying "Friends" as Princess Celestia said" Twilight (buzzkill) Sparkle said in her high and mighty tone. "Well, I for one am enjoying seeing new forms of fashion, These robes are most exquisite" Rarity graced the others with her mighty knowledge of everything that ever will be. "Well Pinkie Pie seems to be enjoying herself." Applejack drawled heavily, Causing everypony to look at her confusingly, wondering what in tartarus she just said. "Good for you Apple jack. Oh hey look at Pinkie annoying that pony over there." Twilight (High nosed) Sparkle said, pointing at Pinkie Pie pulling weird faces at a flat faced pony with silver hair. It was at this time that Professor Neighgonagall walked in and told everypony to come inside to be sorted. As they walked in, Rarity the magnificent took notice of the her surroundings as she walked into the grand hall. She took notice on how the banners hung low and that the roof had a giant hole in it, there was also floating candle all over the place that threatened to burn down the great hall, killing everypony inside. She also noticed the table at the end of the hall that sat all the teachers of the school, most of them were unicorns, while a few were Pegasi and Earth ponies, there was even a giant bear sitting up at the table. In front of them was the most hideous hat she had ever laid her pretty eyes on "Welcome new bloods, TO HOGWARTS!" "OH BY CELESTIA THAT HORRID THING TALKS?" Rarity yelled out, almost fainting as the horrid green hat spoke. Everyponies eyes turned to her. "What? It is, it doesn't even have any jewels on it" Rarity said, causing half the room to fall in love with her. "ANYWHO, I am the sorting hat, I am here to sort you into your respective houses. The house you will be sorted into will be decided by me, the sorting hat." The Sorting Hat said. "Ok, now first up is... Applejack" Professor Neighgonagall said in her bitish accent. Once Applejack sat down on the stool, the hat was placed upon her hair. "Hmmm, Orange fur, hand-me-down robes, questionable intelligence. Must be a Weasely. I know just what to do with you" The hat that sorts said "Ah'm not a Weasely, Ah'm an Apple" Applejack said indignantly. "Applejack! how many times do we have to tell you, you are a pony not an apple." Twilight (holier then thou) Sparkle said, shaking her head sadly. "ANYWAY! GRYFFINDOR" The mighty Sorting Hat needlessly yelled out, cause Fluttershy to hide behind Professor Celestiador. A bunch of cheers came from one of the tables in the middle as Weaselyjack made her way to them. "Next up, Fluttershy" Professor Neighgonagall called out. " Fluttershy get out from underneath Celestiador's robes" Know-it-all Twilight said, using her magic to drag her out and put her on the stool. "Hmmmm, yes lots of shyness but a capability for great things. A little bit of a mean streak as well, i know where to put you, SLYTHERIN!" The House Sorting hat once again yelled out, causing Fluttershy to disappear in a puff of smoke. "Next up, Rainbow Dash." Rainbow Dash, flew up to the stool in ten seconds flat, which considering the distance caused everypony to look at her strangely. Just as the hat touched her head it Dragon shouted "GRYFFINDOR!" causing a flock of griffins to all of a sudden appear. "Next up, Rarity the magnificent" Rarity gracefully walked up and sat down on the stool, cringing as the horrid hat of sorting was placed upon her magnificent hair. "Hmmmm, lots of intelligence, breathtaking beauty and limitless abilities." The one and only Hat that sorts spoke softly. "RAVENCLAW!" The sudden outburst caused the roosting griffins to become started and fly through the nearby windows, smashing them to pieces. The Ravenclaw table all squealed with glee as the mighty Rarity was put in their house. "Now then, Next up is Pinkie P..." before Professor Neightgonagall finished, Pinkie Pie already ripped the hat out of her hooves and placed it on her head. "Oh my, lots of joy and laughter, a desire to make everypony happy? and another pony with a chance for darkness, well time to set your future in stone. SLYTHERIN!" "YAY I'm going to rule the world so quickly" Pinkie Pie said happily, causing alot of people to tremble in fear. "And lastly, Twilight Snarkle. I mean Sparkle" Professor Neightgonagall called out, causing the hall to go quiet in anticipation. Twilight took a deep breath in and walked up to the Hat of fate and sorting, "This is it Twilight, time to be the star student, the one everyone turns to for help, the student this school deserves, not what it needs. The student that all the professors love and adore, the student that Princess Celestia knew she would be. You are going to get up there and be placed in Gryffindor then leave a legacy which lasts the ages, become a master of magic as you were in Equestria. And most importantly, prove you are better then everyone else." As Twilight sat down she had a look at everyponies faces below her, looking up at her as they would a queen or a hero, with awe and a bit of fear. Time seemed to slow as Professor Neighgonagall slowly put down the magnificent, majestic hat that sorts and chooses ponies fates and destiny upon her head. Once place Twilight started shivering with anticipation as it touched her head. "Oh this is easy." this is it Twilight "HUFFLEPUFF" wait what? _________________________________ Twilight Sparkle slowly put down the page she was reading and turned to look at Spike, who was standing next her desk in the library. "Spike?" "Yes Twilight?" Spike asked innocently. "What the buck did I just read?"
