after 15 minutes train gradually stopped
--------------
Hagrid yelled for first years and took them to boats
Marvin wanted to talk with Hagrid but decided to wait until golden trio starts to ask questions about what is on third floor
after 5 minutes on boats Marvin saw the castle
a big and dark medieval castle. you could feel dazzling amount of history on its walls
after docking in small harbor it took them another 5 minutes till they saw massive gate 5 meters tall and 4 wide and before their eyes this gate at least 10 tons in weight opened by itself as if asking them to come in
Hagrid took them in walked out and gate closed
just like in the books Draco picked on Harry and after 3 to 4 minutes tall looking witch stood before them and introduced herself "welcome to hogwarts i'm Minerva McGonagall vice Headmaster here at hogwarts also your transfiguration teacher, now come with me to the auditorium"
after walking into auditorium Marvin saw ceiling filled with floating candles and five long tables four for students one for teachers. table for teachers was on raised platform
atmosphere was more like relaxed dinner with family than solemn, old ceremony
just before raised platform there was an old chair with even older hat on it
professor McGonagall took them to the chair and said "this is sorting hat, after hearing your name you will come and sit on this chair"
she looked on little wizards and witches and continued "after i put sorting hat onto your head it will sort each of you into one of four houses. Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin"
after short pause professor McGonagall called out first name "Hannah Abbott"
after being called girl sat on chair and got hat placed on her head
"hufflepuff!" sorting hat said loudly
after Hannah got to hufflepuff table and sat on the bench next child got called
and another after that
after all other children got called it was finally Marvin's turn
"Marvin Firebird" professor McGonagall called
Marvin felt all eyes on him. it really was introverts nightmare
after Marvin sat on the chair Minerva put sorting hat onto his head
(it is detected that something tries to access host's mind: access denied)
right after system notification Marvin heard voice but it wasn't system guide's cold voice but something more emotional
"hey, you have some hard mind don't you" uncle like voice said and added "so which house fits you the best?"
after Marvin realized it was sorting hat and thought -isn't that your job to tell me?-
hat grimaced and awnsered "normally yes but I don't have access to your mind"
after Marvin understood what hat meant he thought -I'm not brave but neither timid, i am proud but not overconfident. l do not have pure blood and like to learn, so it is probably ravenclaw-
"I have to agree" hat said in his mind
and loudly proclaimed "ravenclaw!"
after sorting hat announced his house ravenclaw table applauded and Marvin sat on bench
after Marvin sat Dumbledore stood up and all students got quiet
"good evening to you all, i wish to make a couple announcements. first, forbidden forest is off the limits under punishment of expulsion. second, after the retirement of our last defense against dark arts professor I'd like to welcome our new professor. professor Quirinus Quirrell" Quirrell stood up and all auditorium applauded
after applause stopped Dumbledore continued "third, any and all activities on third floor are temporarily off limits and staying there for prolonged amounts of time can succeed in expulsion and lastly i wish you amazing year"
after saying last word big amounts of food appeared on the tables seemingly out of nowhere
after dinner older students took them to their respective dormitories and gave them password
after walking into ravenclaw lounge Marvin saw large glass dome on the ceiling, big painting of Rovena Ravenclaw on the right wall, just below painting there was lit fireplace and every other surface apart of floor and ceiling was covered with shelves full of books
whole place full of warm atmosphere
Marvin got single room because of disproportionate amount of girls and boys in ravenclaw
room was mostly empty in deep blue colors and rustic style
Marvin laid on comfortable bed and drove off to sleep
