My mind is wandering over to Enid Blyton's Mallory Towers books (for those
in the US who aren't familiar with them - it's a series of 6 books about
a dorm of girls at a british boarding school ) - usually each year a
new girl was introduced - either a transferee or an exchange student -
I wouldn't be surprised if another Beauxbatons student or 2 followed
Fleur to Hogwarts on some sort of exchange program - and what if a bunch
of Durmstrangs join Hogwarts because they no longer have a head of the
school? WOuld they go right into Slytherin or would they get sorted? Is
sorting only for first years or if someone started at Hogwarts in a
later year would they be sorted too?
