"HUFFLEPUFF!" shouted the hat. A smile adorned her face as Hannah happily went towards the Hufflepuff table where other Puffs were cheering for her. Susan then too was sorted in Hufflepuff. Tracey was the first Slytherin.
Unlike other houses, the Slytherins just applauded politely, welcoming its new member. Hermione was sorted into Gryffindor while Daphne followed Tracey to the Slytherin house.
Harry didn't pay much attention to the sorting of other students since he didn't know them after Neville was declared a Gryffindor.
"Potter, Harry!" Harry assuredly strode towards the seat and sat on it. The sorting hat was promptly put over his head.
'Open your mind, boy. I can't see anything. What is this type of mind protection? I am charmed to see through the occlumency. '
'Hmm, why would I need occlumency when I have wonderful Isis in my head.'
[Thanks, Harry. If I had a body, I would be swooning from the praise. But you do know that the hat can't hear your thoughts? Should I give him access to your mind so he could do his job?]
'No, don't give it the access to my mind. Just make sure that the hat and I can converse mentally.'
[Done.]
'Mic testing, mic testing. Can you hear me, Mr. Hat?'
'Yes, Mr. Potter. I can hear you. Now I kindly ask you to lower your mental protections, so I can sort you.'
'Sorry, Mr. Hat. But I don't have the power to stop or pause my mental protection.' he lied smoothly.
'Then how do you reckon I will be able to sort you?'
'Just sort me in the house I want to be in. I like to think I am very self-aware. So here is the brief summary of myself. I am loyal to only a few. I don't care what I have to do to achieve my goals. I am not a bookworm, but I enjoy a good book. If I need to be brave to achieve my goal, then I am Godric reincarnate. Oh, and I am very confident. Some might say arrogant, but whatever! There, you have it. Now sort me.'
'You already know which house you want to be in. Don't you?'
'Not really. I don't want to be in Slytherin. Since my little sister is most probably going to be in Gryffindor. And I don't want to leave her. But I am self-aware enough to know that I belong in Slytherin.'
'Well...what if I say you can be in any house? Which house do you want to be in?' the hat asked.
'Definitely Gryffindor. Just because Iris is going to be there. And as an elder twin, it is my job to be available for her, to help her...or annoy her.' Harry grinned.
'Then that's final. If I can't sort you with my powers then I can just sort you where you want to go. Better be,' "GRYFFINDOR!"
'Thanks, Mr. Hat.' Harry smiled and put the sorting hat back on the stool and went to the Gryffindor table where the students in red were whistling and clapping. He sat at the table and saved a seat for his sister.
A minute later, Iris came running towards the Gryffindor table. Harry, knowing what was coming, stood up and caught her in his arms as she hugged him enthusiastically.
"You are in Gryffindor!" she yelled happily.
"Surprise." Harry said blandly.
"I am so happy that you are Gryffindor. I really thought you were going to be in a different house and we won't be in the same house." Iris grinned as they sat together.
"Nope. I can't leave you in peace. You are stuck with me." Harry laughed.
"And I won't have it any other way." Iris laughed along. Neville and Hermione soon joined them and the group of four happily enjoyed their first feast in the Great Hall of Hogwarts.

[QUEST:
– Obtain Philosopher's stone.
REWARD:
– 3000 XP
– Perk: [Unlimited Money]
Bonus Objective:
– Return the Philosopher's Stone back to Flamels
Bonus Reward:
– 25 plus Affection with the Flamels
– Class [Enchanter] ]
…
[QUEST:
– Kill Quirinus Quirrell who is housing Voldemort's spirit in the back of his head.
REWARD:
– 4000 XP
– Class [Necromancer] ]
These both quests got triggered when he used [Observe] on Quirrell and heard the Headmaster's announcement about not going to the third floor.
Still, Harry was happy with his first day. And it was a bonus that he got new quests which didn't involve killing criminals. He was also intrigued by the new classes. He was excited to unlock them and see what exactly they were.
Harry had intensively used [Observe] on as many people he could use on. What he learnt was that the whole student population was between level 10 and 30 including the first years and seventh years. And the professors were between level 40 and 50.
But what really was surprising was that even Headmaster Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of this era and maybe even stronger than Voldemort, was only level 150. Harry had expected more from him. He had assumed Dumbledore would be somewhere between level 200 and 300.
But he confessed to himself that level 150 was still impressive, at least for a non-gamer. When he had used [Observe] on others while wandering in Diagon Alley with his family, he had come to a shocking revelation that normal wizards and witches barely crossed level 35. So, Dumbledore was definitely a top tier wizard among them.
Though Harry was going to replace him as the strongest wizard of course. When he finished these 2 new quests, he would jump plus 35 levels. And since he was currently level 125, he would reach level 160 after that, which will be more than Dumbledore's. Well, he had a new goal for his first year of Hogwarts.
