Hogwarts, 1991 :
At this moment, the great hall is bustling with senior students and freshmen who are here to get sorted into a house by sorting hat. At this moment the sky in the wizarding world suddenly rippled. In Hogwarts and few other places a screen appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone looked confused while the screen said :
[ Welcome to the live broadcast q&a system ]
[ The system will release a live video and the participants who got the answer will get corresponding prices ]
[ Current live broadcast : Hogwarts sorting ceremony ]
[ The chat group has been launched ]
[ Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, Allen Emrys, Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy, Percy Weasley, George Weasley, ..... Joined the chat ]
[ Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape, Minerva McGonagall, Filius Flitwick,.... Joined the chat ]
[ Quirinius Quirell (Voldemort) joined the chat ]
[ Gellert Grindelwald joined the chat ]
[ Newt Scammander, porpentina Scammander, Jacob Kwolski, Queenie joined the chat ]
.

In Hogwarts everyone is stunned while the sorting ceremony came to a halt but not the video in the screen, quirell somehow escaped everyone's eyes. Dumbledore eyes flickered as he searched for quirell around and found no one. At this moment the chat exploded :
[ Gellert Grindelwald : Albus, please stop your tricks ]
[ Albus Dumbledore : I'm equally confused here ]
[ Severus Snape : what is this? ]
[ Lily Potter : Severus, is that you? ]
[ James Potter : well if it isn't snivelus. Forget it, Harry are you there my son? ]
[ Harry Potter : mom and dad? Are you still alive? ]
[ Lily : no honey, we're in realm of death. But a screen suddenly appeared in front of us ]
[ James Potter : our secret has been leaked. Somehow Peter failed to protect us. But he isn't here. So he is alive. Peter how are you? Sirius and also Remus are you there? ]
[ Harry : dad completely forgot me it seems ]
[ Peter : hello James ]
[ Sirius : you bastard where are you pettigrew? I'm going to kill you. You leaked the secret and get James and lily killed. You also tried to escape and blew up a street. You bastard we're blind to trust you ]
[ Peter pettigrew : what do you mean Sirius? I don't understand isn't it you that dine all this ]
[ James : so Peter you betrayed us. You're the secret keeper, if you don't tell how will others know. You told this to dark lord and you're still alive. So you betrayed us since the beginning. You're the double agent here ]
[ Lily : pettigrew I'm going to kill you. Because of you everything happened. Because we can't take care of my son now. ]
[ Albus : wait, Sirius isn't the secret keeper?]
[ James : no professor, Sirius is too obvious to be the secret keeper. So we changed the keeper to pettigrew at the last second. But who knew this rat is a traitor. ]
[ Peter : James listen to my explanation ]
[ Lily : explain what. How you betrayed the order and get us killed ]
[ Sirius : ah, you bastard where are you? I'm going to kill you ]
[ If you don't stop I'll disable the chat function then you won't be able to talk to each other. Now on with the video ]
The video started playing :
[ McGonagall took the little wizards who are nervous about the sorting ceremony to the great hall ]
[ As the doors of great hall opened everyone is amazed by the view, among them Hermione whispered to Allen beside her," the ceiling isn't real. It's enchanted to looks like that. I read it in Hogwarts : a history ". ]
[ Allen nodded and walked along with the other freshmen. Then the sorting hat started singing an ugly song,""Oh you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
if you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folks use any means
To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!" ]
[ Porpentina Scammander : Newt, I started to feel you British have unique tastes ]
[ Ronald : the song is too ugly ]
[ Sorting hat : damn boy you'll be sorted into Slytherin ]
[ Ronald : no don't I'm wrong. Your song is amazing ]
[ Salazar Slytherin : why do the sorting hat threaten someone with my house. Godric I need an explanation. Merlin you two where are you? Come out this instant you idiotic disciple of mine ]
[ Godric : bwahaha, it's just a joke to scare children ]
[ Merlin : teacher, it's Mr Griffyndoor. I only enchanted the hat, I didn't put anh tricks ]
[ Salazar : godric you bastard ]
[ Queenie : I suddenly feel my image of great wizards somehow collapsing ]
[ Warning! Don't interrupt ]
[ After singing the song McGonagall spoke," now professor Dumbledore will speak a few words before the sorting ceremony ", Dumbledore stood up and said," welcome , welcome to Hogwarts. As every year, the forbidden forest is restricted to all students. Also our caretaker Mr filch told me to remind you that using magic in the corridors is also restricted. The 3rd floor corridor on the right side is forbidden to all students and those who don't want to die a painful death will be adviced up avoid it ". ]
[ All freshmen flinched when he said that. Except Allen who has a teasing smile on his face looking at Dumbledore. Then McGonagall said," now those I call will come forth. And the sorting hat will sort you into your respective houses ". ]
[ Allen looked at Hannah with an indifferent look while McGonagall called," Hannah Abbot ", Allen whispered lightly," Hufflepuff ", the sorting hat also shouted," Hufflepuff". ]
[ Salazar : so we have a seer this year. If it's time I will take him under my wing and will teach him everything ]
[ Merlin : hmm, his seer abilities are good for his age. The problem is that whether he can use them under control or is this an instinctual ability ]
Many wanted to speak but the video continued :
[ Allen then looked at Hermione Granger. The bushy haired girl beside him. McGonagall called her name," Hermione Granger ". ]
The video paused here. A question is displayed on the screen :
