Professor McGonagall stood straight as she watched the students approach. She did her best to look stern, with her black hat covering her forehead down to her slightly arched eyebrows.
She let her eyes travel along the students, the new ones that would be sorted today, as well as those that had been there for years.
She was pleased to see Harry Potter walking up toward her. She was glad to see how he had grown over the summer. She absolutely despised the muggles that were in charge of his care taking.
Accompanying Harry was Penelope. McGonagall wasn't surprised to see that Penelope had "adopted" the young witch that had been sorted during the summer. She was pleased that the beautiful new addition to the school had managed to find Penelope. She was sure that Alice couldn't be in better hands.
McGonagall continued her search until her eyes landed on Kain. True, he was in Slytherin, but she found him to be charming none the less. The truth was, he was one of her favorite students and he did well in her class. She would never be able to understand why he had his friendship with Draco. Though she supposed that as a Professor, she shouldn't' think such things.
It was no surprise that Kain was walking with his sister Illyanna, for they spent alot of time together from what she had seen. What did surprise her was that he seemed to also be walking with Neville and Luna. It wasn't Neville that surprised her so much, but Luna was a different story.
She could imagine what kind of hell that Luna had put Kain through. This did cause a small smile to tug at the corner of her upper lip.
As all of the students filled in in front of her, she cleared her throat to get their attention.
"Greetings students and welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. For those of you who are not first years, you may go ahead and sit at the tables that are assigned for your House. First years, stay where you are. The sorting assembly will begin momentarily." She informed.
She moved out of the doorway so that the returning students may enter into the great hall.
