I unfortunately do not own Harry Potter or his world...yet haha. This is just my little twist on things, I hope you enjoy and please R&R, thanks.
Harry, Ron and Hermione were sat in the great hall, the ceiling reflecting the peaceful star light sky and the candles lighting the room with a warm glow, as they watched the new first year students being sorted into their new houses. Ron seemed quite bored by it all and kept saying he wished it would hurry up so he could eat.
"Toby Trotter!" Mcgonagall called the sixth student up and placed the hat on his head.
"Don't you find it quite exciting though, I mean it was only last year we were being sorted into our houses." Said Hermione excitedly. Harry smiled at her but to be quite honest he didn't really like the sorting either, it reminded him of how close he'd come to being put into Slytherin and that sent a shiver down his spine. Just imagine being in Slytherin with Draco Malfoy.
"Gryffindor!" The sorting hat shouted snapping Harry from his thoughts as he looked up to see his new house member. It was a young boy with messy blond hair and bright blue eyes, who look terrified as he approached the table full of older students. The boy smiled and seemed to relax more however when a few students lent over to introduce themselves and shake his hand.
"Serena Nightwisp!" Mcgonagall called another student up. Harry watched as a young girl with long, wavy dark brown hair walked up the steps and had the sorting hat placed on her head. The sorting hat looked as though it was struggling to find her a home, but just as Harry was beginning to feel anxious for the girl the sorting hat shouted "Gryffindor!" The girl hopped of the chair, a smile on her face and sat down next to Ron. Again a few Gryffindor students lent over to shake her hand and say hello, Ron and Hermione being one of them, Harry just gave her a smile and turned his attention back to the other students being sorted.
"Arabella Silverton!" Mcgonagall called yet another student up. The girl was tall and had light brown shoulder length hair, this time the sorting hat had no trouble placing the student in the right house. "Slytherin!" Shouted the sorting hat almost immediately. The girl ran to her new house table a smirk on her face and sat down as Draco himself shook her hand.
"Marty Bluestone!" Mcgonagall called again. The sorting hat took a little longer but eventually called out "Ravenclaw!" The small boy smiled and walked to his table seeming quite confident and happy with himself. Harry wondered if perhaps the boys parents had been in that house.
Once the sorting was over the feast began and Harry smiled at the look on the faces of all the new students as the food appeared before their eyes making them gasp, to be honest he himself still hadn't quite got used to all the magic.
The students all began stuffing their faces with all the wonderful looking food that filled the tables. There were sandwiches, sausages, baked potato's and whole turkeys. The table had almost every piece of food you could imagine and for drinks there was pumpkin juice, dragon milk, tea, exploding lemonade and all sorts. The students were spoiled for choice.
"It's not going to disappear in my tummy once I've ate it, is it?" Asked one of the first years with a very worried look on his face, making a few older students laugh, Harry was even sure he'd seem Hermione crack a smile.
"No." Hermione said with a light smile still at the corner of her lips. The boy however didn't notice her smile and seemed happy with her answer so began to fill his plate with as much food as he could before digging in.
After the main course was over Dumbledore stood to make an announcement, his voice booming around the room. "This year there have been a few changes, we are experimenting with different ways of getting students to learn quicker and at a higher level so some of you will find yourselves in classes with older and younger students, this should not however distract you from your learning. Secondly Mr Filch has asked me to yet again remind you all that the forbidden forest is off limits to all students and that magic is not to be practiced in the corridors. Now time for desert I think." Dumbledore whipped his wand and all four of the house tables filled will multiple colored deserts and once again the students gasped in wonder before piling the food on their plates.
"Oh, how exciting, I'll be able to help some of the younger students." Hermione smiled, seeming quite happy with herself.
Ron however rolled his eyes. "Poor first years." He muttered to Harry thinking she couldn't hear him.
Hermione did in fact hear him though and she scowled at him. "Well then, don't expect me to help you this year then." She said however Ron and Harry both knew Hermione couldn't help herself when it came to making them revise.
Once dinner was over the first years were shown to their common rooms by their house perfects and chose their beds.
"It's amazing, I can't wait for tomorrow!" A young girl had said excitedly to her friend as they walked past Harry, Ron and Hermione who sat by the fire in their common room.
"That kids going to be another Hermione, you watch." Ron laughed, Hermione again gave him a funny look but otherwise ignored the comment.
"Well I'm going to bed, but I'll see you both bright and early tomorrow." And off she went up the stairs to bed. Ron and Harry sat in the common room for awhile talking and playing wizards chess as the room grew quieter until eventually they were the only ones in the room, and so both boys decided it was time they too went to bed. After all they knew they would no doubt-ably not be getting a lie in now they were back at Hogwarts. So off the boys trundled up the old spiral stairs to their room and into bed, drawing their red curtains around their four poster beds.
Harry heard Ron's snoring soon after and eventually fell to sleep himself.
Sorry it's not a very long chapter, the next one will be longer I promise.
