The last trace of steam evaporated into the autumn air. The train rounded a corner and disappeared from sight. As the station escaped from his sight, Albus sat down across from Rose. "Do you think dad will really disinherit me if I'm not in Gryffindor?"

"No I think he's just trying to mess with you." Albus says calmly "In my opinion!" He blurts out clearly feeling embarrassed.

"Albus why do you always seem embarrassed whenever you talk to me?" Rose asks quizzically to Albus.

"Well I ummm-"Albus stutters as he gets cut off.

"Hahaha. It's ok Al. I didn't mean anything by it. But I would like to know why you want to be in Gryffindor so much if your brother is always going to be teasing you?"

"If I don't get into Gryffindor, I will never hear the end of it from him." Al sighed with grief.

"Well I don't see why it's any worse than him 24/7." Rose protested.

"You have no idea" He chuckled.

"Well I'm tired, I think I'll just take a nap." Rose yawned.

Yawning "Yeah me to" And at that they both closed their eyes and dozed off.

As Al woke he heard the screeching sound of the train's breaks. Nudging Rose."Hey Rose, I think we're here." Just then Teddy came to the door and stuck his head in"We have arrived, get your things ready and head outside"

"K thanks Teddy."Al said finally awake. "Did you hear that Rose? We're here!"

"Are we really?" Rose asks, still groggy from the nap.

"Yup com'on and get up, I'll help you with your things." Al yells in excitement.

"Hey James, and Teddy! Al and I are going to the boats so catch you later."Rose exclaimed. With that Rose tugged on Al's arm and started for hagrid."Hi Hagrid!"

"Well hello there Rose!" Hagrid greeted.

"Can we start for Hogwarts now?" Rose asks?

"Sure. All first years follow me! Come on!" Hagrid yells. They follow hagrid to the edge of the black lake and set sail on the glassy lake. They reached the schools shore and followed hagrid to the door to the great hall where Professor McGonagall gives the house speech and then is moved to the hall to be sorted.

"Albus Cerberus Potter" Albus walked up underneath the sorting hat. Hoping not to get slytherin.

"hmm… tricky placing indeed" the hat grimaced." A great mind but a good heart… I believe… Ravenclaw!" The hall erupted in pandemonium for the placement.

"Rose Weasley" McGonagall croaked.

"Hmm… just as difficult… another great mind but a shrewd heart I think… Ravenclaw!" The hall erupted again. After a few more sorting's, the feast began. It was the biggest feast they ever seen. This even beat Grandma Weasley's Christmas dinner!

After gorging themselves in the delicious feast they followed professor Flitwick down to the Ravenclaw dormitory. As they walked in they were amazed by the blue walls and crimson drapes in such elegance that it was beautiful. Albus and Rose said goodnight to each other and parted to their dormitories for some sleep in anticipation for their first day.
