Chapter 1: Welcome to Hogwarts

Ceeline Whittemore watched as her sister's leg bobbed up and down nervously. She had been doing that for the last forty minutes and it was starting to get on Ceeline's nerves. Okay, that's a lie, it had started to get on her nerves some thirty minutes ago; right now, Ceeline was just about to blow up. She loved her sister very much, adored the girl to pieces; but if she didn't stop soon, Ceeline would just have to jump out of the car's window, or better yet, throw her beloved sister out of the car's window which would really be troublesome seeing as they were several hundred feet over the ground.

Ceeline could understand her sister's nervousness, of course. Both of them were about to start their sixth year on a new school, Howguards or something like that. Ceeline couldn't really say she had been paying enough attention when Laurence explained the whole new school ordeal.

They were going to new school two days late into the school year (as if they needed to stand out anymore); that was enough to make any normal teen anxious. Being the shiny new thing, the novelty, wasn't Ceeline's idea of fun either, but she wasn't on the edge of a nervous breakdown like Annabeth.

Despite being identical twins, Ceeline and Annabeth were very different in some aspects. For instance, Annabeth was a lot shyer than Ceeline; so while neither of them were happy to be the centre of attention, Ceeline was better at shrugging it off while Annabeth's more self-conscious nature made her nervous to no end.

They were almost there. Ceeline could see the vague silhouette of a big castle with several windows. According to what she could remember of her mother's words, they would be received by the Keeper of Keys and Grounds which will then lead them to the Great Hall where they would be sorted and then dine with their new housemates.

Annabeth, after hearing they would be attending to this new school, had researched and then explained the school system to Ceeline. Apparently there were four houses named after the founders of the school. Each house had some characteristics and traits: courage, loyalty, wit, cunningness, etc. At the beginning of their education, there was a sorting ceremony in which the students were assigned a house. Students were separated into these houses which were like families since they each had their own common room, house colours, Quidditch team and such.

Cee was betting she would end up in Gryffindor or Slytherin, she wasn't studious enough to get into Raven-something or friendly and blah to get into Huffleduff, Hufflenuff…Hufflepuff!

At last, the car parked and Ceeline and Annabeth quickly got their trunks and walked towards the only man standing there. Now, Ceeline wasn't one to jump to conclusions, but her first thought was that this Keeper had to have some giant blood. He was huge! He had unruly, shaggy, long black hair and beard that covered most of his face, twinkling dark eyes and a big smile that betrayed the otherwise scary appearance of his.

"Yeh are the Whittemores?" he asked as soon as he saw them.

"Yeah. I'm Cee, this is Anne, pleasure," Ceeline said with a polite smile.

"Hagrid. C'mon, let's get yeh two inside," he said with a bright smile, eyes twinkling even more. He picked both their trunks and led them to a big pair of doors. He then told them he had other business to attend to and they just had to go through those doors. The Whittemore twins thanked him and then turned to look at each other. It was time.

To say that people noticed their entrance would be the understatement of the year. Every single pair of eyes turned to them and Ceeline could practically feel the heat emanating from her sister's blushing face.

"Oh yes. I would like to announce the arrival of two new students to our school, they are about to be sorted so if I could please have your attention…" Albus Dumbledore said, standing up and motioning for Ceeline and Annabeth to come forward.

Because of their names, Annabeth was going to be sorted first. She was motioned to a stool by a stern-looking woman holding an old looking hat. Annabeth looked like she was about to vomit, or pass out, or both. With a reassuring smile from Cee, she sat on the stool and the hat was placed on her head. There was silence for some seconds before the hat yelled: "GRYFFINDOR!"

There was a lot of applause from somewhere behind Cee, but she didn't dare turn to see from where exactly for fear of running into some curious eyes. She assumed it was the Gryffindor table welcoming her sister. The woman then asked Cee to sit on the stool. Just before her vision was covered, she saw her sister sitting next to some red-head who was smiling warmly at her.

Well now, let's take a look inside your mind shall we? A voice said inside her head, it took Ceeline several seconds to realize it was the hat speaking.

It seemed like the hat agreed with Ceeline, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were not for her. After some thought, the hat finally announced her to be in GRYFFINDOR!

The hat was taken away allowing her to see the smiling faces from her new housemates. She stood from the stood and graciously walked towards where her sister was waving, politely smiling at all of the people who congratulated her or smiled at her in welcome. She didn't pay much attention to what Dumbledore said afterwards, probably some sort of welcome for them, but instead turned to the pretty red-head seated next to them.

"Hi. I'm Lily Evans, Gryffindor prefect. You will love it here at Hogwarts, almost everyone is pretty nice and the classes are just so interesting and…" Okay, Ceeline tuned her out after that. She really liked Lily, she looked like a nice girl, but she was a little too much for Cee right then. She just wanted to get something to drink and go to bed. Lily introduced them to their other dorm mates, Marlene McKinnon, Mary Macdonald and Alice Stark whom they instantly liked.

Lily was a sweet girl. She looked like a responsible and studious student (especially with her being prefect and all) but nice, fun and witty with her friends. She had thick, long, dark red hair in nice waves and such pretty emerald green eyes that made Cee jealous. She was tall and had a nice figure with subtle curves.

Alice was a shy girl at first, but soon got used to Cee and Anne so she turned to be a charming person, very optimistic and full of smiles and laughter. She had a soft round face, a little childish in Cee's humble opinion (in a cute sort of way, of course), with dark eyes and short black hair.

Mary was a charming girl, she was talkative and extremely random. It was as though she spoke her mind without stopping to consider how her ideas would sound. She was open, extroverted and laid-back. She was a brunette with chocolate eyes and cute freckles on her face.

Marlene looked like a party person or at least someone who carried herself in a confident way, loved to tease everyone and have a good time. She probably was an extroverted person with an easy-going personality. She was gorgeous, the best looking out of the Gryffindor girls. She had really fair skin, pretty blue eyes and long silvery-blonde hair in nice curls. She wasn't very tall, but she surpassed Ceeline's funny height and, while she was slim, she definitely had curves that the uniform just seemed to hug perfectly in a whole accidental way.

After what seemed like hours, Cee felt like she would fall asleep on the table. Alice, Merlin bless her soul, noticed this and offered to show her and Anne the way to their dormitory. They were quick to accept. They passed several portraits and staircases before they stopped in front of the portrait of a very fat lady in a pink silk dress.

"Password?"

"Leonis iubam," Alice said and the portrait flung open.

Gryffindor's common room was something amazing. It had a fire place, squishy armchairs, beautiful carpets, windows that had just the perfect view, all of it was red with gold - Gryffindor's house colors – and it looked like a great place to just hang with your friends or relax and read a good book. There were two staircases, one that lead to the girl's dormitories and one for the boy's dormitories.

The dormitories had nothing really especial; there were several four-posted beds with red and golden bedding and red and golden curtains, some wardrobes, night tables… It was a lot smaller than she expected, but then again, she had a feeling it would be just perfect.

In front of one of these beds, Cee found her trunk with all of her belongings and an envelope with her schedule. After thanking Alice for taking them all the way there and promising they would let them know if they needed anything, Cee got her nightgown on, brushed her face and teeth and promptly fell asleep.

So...what do you think? Leave your thoughts through a review...pretty please?
