It was cold when, Hermione Granger arrived at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (or simply Hogwarts)! It was the first time she was here, it was her first year. She looked around. Wow, was the first thing she thought. A big man, at least two meter, waved at her. "First graders to me", says the men. When all first graders where by the big man, he began to speak.

"My name is Hagrid and I'm the gamekeeper and Keeper of Keys and Grounds of Hogwarts", he says. "Now we will take the boats across the lake to the castle. At least three people in a boat". Hermione looked around. Great, everyone have someone and I'm alone...like always!

"Are you in someone's boat?", she heard a voice behind her. Hermione turned around to look who asked her. It was a boy in her age, with white hair and a cute smile on his face. "No, I don't! Do you?", she asked. "No, that's the reason I asked you", he smirked. "Oh okay", she says. "So, do we wanna go in a boat together?", he asked. "Yeeah sure", she answered. The two got together, with another boy, in a boat and crossed the lake.

"There it is", Hermione says. She looked up to Hogwarts, it was big. Bigger than she had ever imagined. The blond boy looked at her.

"You never saw Hogwarts befor today?"

"Sure, in the history of Hogwarts. Great book!"

"I didn't mean that."

"What did you mean then?"

"I mean, you never saw it in real life?"

"How should I?"

"The Daily Prophet?"

"The what?"

"The Daily Prophet! You don't know what this is?"

"Noo."

"Are your Parents Muggles?"

"Yes! Why did you ask?"

The boy slided a bit away from her. "What is wrong? Did you have something against Muggle?", she asked. "Yes I have. If your parents are Muggles, then you don't deserve to go at this school!", he says with a disgusted undertone and jumps, when they arrived, off the boat. Hermione watched him go. What is his Problem?, she asked herself.

She left as one of the last mooring and went up, directly behind Hagrid, the path to the castle. She went next to two boys, one with red hair and one with black hair and glasses.

"Hey you two", she says.

"Oh hello", says the one with the glasses.

"Oh my goodness, you are Harry Potter right?", she asked. She didn't wait for a response but quickly shook his hand. "I'm Hermione Granger, nice to meet you." The boy (with the red hair) raised his hand as he wanted to say something, but then let it remain. The only thing he said was: "My name is Ron Weasley!"When Hermione,Harry and Ron arrived in Hogwarts, a woman stand in front of the First graders. "Hello", she says. "My name is Professor McGonagall. I'm deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts, head of Gryffindor House and transfiguration professor. If you go through that door, in a few seconds, the sorting Hat says in which house you belong. Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin. Everyone ready? Okay. Follow me.", Professor McGonagall says. The first graders followed her in the Great Hall. On the side were the students (which were already several years after Hogwarts) and inspected the new students. Professor McGonagall stopped in front of a big table, where the teachers sat. She turned around at the first graders and says: "I will read your name after the series. If I say your name, you'll come to me! Then you sit on the chair and put the hat on. He will tell you which house you're in." The first graders nodded.

"Hermione Granger", says McGonagall.

Hermione stares at her. Why did I have to be the first? Okay Hermione, you can do it. Just go and sat down there. Hermione plucked up courage, went forward to Professor McGonagall and set themselves. McGonagall put the hat on.

"Mhmh...ahaaa.", says the hat. "Okay, I know what to do...GRYFFINDOR", yelled the hat. Hermione stand up quickly and went to the Gryffindor table, where everyone smiled friendly at her or shook her hand.

"The next isDraco Malfoy", McGonagall says.

The blond boy (who was with Hermione in the boat) went forward with a grin, and sat down. The hat had barely touched his hair as he already "Slytherin," roared. Draco Malfoy smirked and sat down at the Slytherin table.

"So his name is Draco Malfoy. From somewhere I know his name", Hermione says to herself. "Maybe you know him, because his Dad was a famous Death Eater", someone says next to her. She turned around and saw a boy with red Hair. "I'm Percy Weasley, maybe you know my youngest Brother Ron! It's his first year here too!", he says.

She nodded and looked at the Slytherin table. His Dad was a Death Eater?, she thought. She looked at him again and at exactly that moment their eyes met.

That was when everything begin.
