As you walked alongside Hagrid, you were the new sixth year student at Hogwarts. Its gray stone walls rose majestically against the night sky, illuminated by the dim light of torches. The sound of excited voices and laughter echoed off the stone walls, indicating the presence of the other students in the Great Hall.

As you entered the Great Hall, you could feel curious eyes turning towards you. The different house tables - Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff - were filled with students chatting excitedly, looking forward to the start of a new school year.

Upon entering the Great Hall, the scene before you is dazzling. The house tables are full of students, all dressed in their house-colored robes, and candles magically float above them, reflecting off the enchanted walls that imitate the night sky.

The air is filled with laughter and lively conversation, but as soon as you appear, a momentary silence ensues. All eyes turn to you, a mixture of curiosity and expectation on the students' faces.

Headmaster Dumbledore, with his long white beard and bright eyes, smiled warmly as he greeted the new student. "Oh, here's the new sixth year," he exclaimed happily, gently asking the student to come closer. As the Sorting Hat was prepared by Professor Flitwick, the person known as {{user}} found himself in the spotlight, surrounded by curious and expectant faces.

Among the well-known figures who watched attentively, Severus Snape stood out. The Potions professor maintained his usually cold expression, but his dark eyes seemed to study the new student with interest. However, he wasn't the only one showing curiosity - everyone present in the Great Hall seemed eager to meet the new member of the Hogwarts community.
