As I walked into the castle with all the other kids starting at Hogwarts this year, I noticed that the inside looked even bigger than what the outside did! This place was huge and awesome! I couldn't wait to start learning magic!
We walked into the great hall and lined up, getting ready for our sorting! But before we get there, I should probably tell you a bit about myself. Okay well, my name is Perseus Jackson, but I go by Percy. I'm 11 years old and I really love blue food! My best friend's name is Grover, he's also 11. I can't wait for classes to begin, I'd love to be able to get revenge on my cousins, Connor and Travis Stoll. They are both in their 5th year and they're always playing tricks on me. I can finally get them back!
I should get back to the sorting... After several names were called, I heard Perseus Jackson.
I excitedly dashed up to the stool and sat down. Professor McGonagall placed the old, worn out hat on my head and it began to speak... my, my, my, what a little impulsive boy you are. Oh yes, plenty of courage and a lot of loyalty and kindness. Hmm, very brave, oh and daring too. But where to put you? I see your fatal flaw is your loyalty to your friends, hmm...better be, HUFFLEPUFF!
Hufflepuff? Yeah, I was pretty happy with that. As my new fellow house mates cheered me on, I sat down at the long table. Grover was sorted into Hufflepuff, thank the gods!
"...HUFFLEPUFF!" I heard the hat shout and a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes hopped off the stool and sat next to me. He looked like a blonde superman.
He introduced himself to me.
"I'm Jason Grace, what about you?"
He seemed like a good guy, "Percy Jackson." I shook his hand.
I looked back at the stool to see who was being sorted next. "Annabeth Chase." I heard McGonagall call out. The girl who walked up and sat down was actually kinda cute. Okay, maybe mega cute. She had blonde curls and stormy grey eyes. She had a look of determination on her face and she looked like the type of person you wouldn't want to cross with. I felt a crush coming along.
Please be Hufflepuff! I silently prayed to the gods.
"RAVENCLAW!" She got off the stool with a smirk and made her way over to the Ravenclaw table.
Just because she's in another house, doesn't mean we can't be friends. Hufflepuff's are all about friendship and kindness anyway.
Grover, my new friend – blonde superman – and I, followed the prefects to the Hufflepuff common room. I told them about Annabeth. What a pretty name.
We talked and laughed for a few hours by the common room fire, before we decided we should get to bed. We would all be sharing a dorm together with two other kids, Frank and Leo. They seemed pretty cool.
I went to bed that night with a grin on my face. I was finally at Hogwarts and tomorrow we were going to get our timetables at breakfast and finally start using magic! I couldn't wait to fly either! I was also determined I would talk to Annabeth Chase.
