"Are you about ready Lil?" My mum asks as she walks in my room.
"Yes mum I am almost ready." I reply as I fold and put another shirt into my trunk.
"Lily we are going to miss you so much you know that right." She grabs me and pulls me into a huge Weasley hug.
"Yeah mum I know and I will miss you guys too. I am so thankful that we get to wear normal clothes under the robe." I say as I finish packing the last of my clothes. I grab my wand and stick it in the hidden pocket my mum sewn into my jeans.
"Well come on honey we will eat breakfast then leave."
Before I go down for breakfast I stop and look in the mirror I am wearing my favorite Holyhead Harpies shirt and a pair of light almost white jeans and my favorite pair of yellow converse. I look a lot like my dad I have striking green almond shaped eyes and dark brown unruly hair. I play seeker at quidditch I am the best in my family. I'm short and skinny. My mum thinks that I'm pretty but, I think I'm very plain looking.
My mom levitates my trunk down stairs and sits it by the door. We go to the kitchen to sit down and eat.
Mum is making my favorite chocolate chip pancakes yum. My dad walks in and kisses the top of my head. "Good morning princess are you ready to go to Hogwats?"
"Yes daddy." We sit in silence for a little while. Then I turn to my mum and ask "Mum what happens if I am not sorted into Gryffindor?"
"Well honey we wouldn't love you any less you will be unique. Do you want to be placed into Gryffindor? You never showed interest in Gryffindor before."
"No mom I don't care which house I'm sorted into as long as I belong there."
"The hat will put you in the house that best describes you whether that be Gryffindor or Slytherin."
"And we will always love you." My dad adds.
"Thanks guys now I don't have to worry about feeling diffrent." Lily said "Good morning Jamie and Albie are you excited to go to Hogwarts today?" I say to James and Albus. My older brothers look almost exactly the same dark brown hair and brown eyes. Albus however needs glasses like my dad. They both play quidditch for the Gryffindor team James is a beater and Albus is chaser.
"Oh yeah another year to beat Slytherins at everything. Lily you are probably going to be put into Slytherin with all of those slimey snakes!" James tries to scare me but I am not worried.
"At least I would be away from you and your stupid pussies." I reply
"Guys stop! James, Albus are you guys packed and ready to go to school?" My dad asks.
"Yeah!" They reply together.
"And your trucks are by the door?" My mum adds
"Yep!" they reply together again it's weird how alike they are.
"Ok hurry up and finish eating so we can go." James and Albus start shoveling food in their mouths I was lucky enough not to inherit that trait. We finish eating and disapperate to King's cross station.
"Good bye Lily I love you so much be good this year and keep your brothers in line and owl us at least 3 days a week. I will see you for Christmas break." My mum says and gives me another Weasley hug.
"I love you too mum and I will write as much as possible see you soon." I turn to my dad and hug him and he kisses the top of my head. "I love you dad and I will miss you I won't forget to write you either. Love you guys I'll see you for Christmas."
"Bye princess love you." My dad says
"Bye honey."
I get onto the train and search for my cousins. I finally find them in a compartment close to the middle its very cramped so I am forced to sit on Louise's leg and lean my back on the wall. I stare out the window until I fall asleep. I wake up when they tell me that we are almost there and to put on my robe and get ready. Lousie, Hugo and I all get off the train together and make our way over to the boats where Hagrid is leading the first years. "Only 3 ter boat." Louise, Hugo and I get our own boat not wanting to get separated just yet.
Once we dock we see Uncle Nev (well Professor Longbottom while we are in school) standing in front of the doors to the entrance hall he leads us to the stairs and tells us to wait until he comes back. I grab a hold of Hugo and Louise's hand I am so nervous. Finally Uncle Nev is back "Welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We will go into the Great Hall in a minute where you will be sorted into a house now this house is like your family you will live together, eat together, and have classes together. There are four houses Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Now I would like 2 straight rows and when I call your name you will come forward to the seat and the hat will sort you now come with me please." I stand next to Hugo and hold his hand while our knuckles go white and he has to let go.
Uncle Nev stands next to a worn out hat on a chair and he unrolls a sheet of parchment "Anderson, Hanna"
A girl with long blond hair and hazel eyes walked up to the stage and sat on the stool and Uncle Nev put the hat on her "Hufflepuff!" it yells the Hufflepuffs cheer her on.
When they finally calm down Uncle Nev calls "Avery, Tyler."
A tall boy walks up to the stage he has black hair that falls into his dark eyes and he is smirking as he sits down. Uncle Nev puts the hat on him and "Slytherin" the hat yells and the entire Slytherin table erupt in whoops and clapping.
Once the hall dies down again Uncle Nev calls out "Brown, Genevieve"
A really pretty girl with dirty blonde hair and bright blue eyes walked up to the stage and sat on the chair she was smiling like crazy. Uncle Nev put the hat on her head and a couple seconds later it yelled "Gryffindor!" Everybody at the Gryffindor table whitling and clapping Genevieve blushed a little and made her way down to the table and sat down.
I stop paying attention and start looking around and I find my brothers they are laughing and flirting with a couple of girls. I roll my eyes and search for anyone else I might know. This is really boring then I hear Hugo say "Lily your next."
Once the hall quieted once more Uncle Nev called "Potter, Lily"
I walk up to the stage I am so nervous but, being a Potter I know how to keep a hold of my emotions and not show them. I sit on the stool and my uncle puts the hat on my head and I hear it talking in my head "your talented, smart, loyal, cunning, and ambitious. You don't want to fall in your dad's shadow and make a name for yourself. I know exactly where to put you." "Slytherin!" the hat yelled.
I am shocked. No one says anything until one Slytherin stands up and starts clapping that the rest do they are so much louder for me then they were for the last person. One student even got on his chair and yelled "suck it Gryffindorks we have the youngest Potter!"
James stands up and is yelling up at Uncle Nev saying "the hat is wrong have her get up here and do it again!"
"The hat is never wrong so now Mr. Potter sit down." Uncle Nev says
I keep my mask on but I can't concentrate on the sorting but then I hear "Weasley, Hugo." I see my favorite cousin walk up to the stage and be sorted into Gryffindor.
I am now truly alone.
