Disclaimer: If I owned these books, I'd be dead from shock. And my heaven would consist of me being a witch at hogwarts :3

"Everyone starts at the beginning...Just be yerself. I know it's hard...But yeh'll have a great time." - Hagrid

The hall was filled with chatter. First year after first year had been sorted into one of the respective houses; Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Slytherin, or Ravenclaw. They had already sorted A-O, and were moving onto the P's. Next in line was a rather short boy, with mussed brown hair and baby-fat. He looked frightened as Professor McGonagall called his name.

"Praley, Sebum."

I bet you thought he was important to this particular story, didn't you? No, the true story begins with the young girl behind Sebum; Aura Prince.

With wavy black hair that framed her delicate features, she looked like a princess. She had large, innocent amber eyes; an odd color. But most of all was the fact that she didn't look nervous at all.

She was humming to herself, a melody no-one knew but her, while she wrung her hands in front of her, fiddling with the lace on the blouse she wore beneath her school robes, proving that she couldn't stay still for a second.

"Prince, Aura." There was a speculating sound from the Slytherin table, being as Prince was a well-known pureblood family. Though, Aura was but a half-blood, even if she was raised by purebloods.

The young eleven-year-old girl didn't notice the attention, and if she did she ignored it. She walked in a way that made it look like she was gliding, graceful as she was, and plopped down on the chair, the ragged hat placed upon her head.

Hello Mr. Hat. She thought merrily. Aura, not quite sure if hats could in fact be amused, but when the Sorting Hat replied it sounded so.

Hello Miss Prince, excited, are we? Though not nervous. Curious. But where oh where to put you?

Whatever you think is best. She thought back, sounding as happy as ever.

Really? No preference?

Nope.

Hufflepuff? Gryffindor?

Whichever.

Oh. Well... your very loyal... but very wise... yet cunning... and also brave beyond comparison.

Mr. Hat, I have an easy fix.

Oh, do you?

Over three minutes had past, the longest someone had taken to be sorted in over a decade, but the girl shan't look nervous. No, the mysterious Prince just swung her legs back and forth, not a care in the world.

Pick a number, 1, 2, 3, or 4.

Erm... 3.

Gryffindor it is then!

All right... "GRYFFIN...dor..."

Some people laughed at the questioning tone the Hat used, never having heard it before, but the others looked shocked beyond comparison.

Who was this girl?

Aura daintily stood up, handing the hat back to her Professor, who, currently, looked as if she had just seen the young girl before her do a rather difficult Irish jig. It took a moment for McGonagall to regain her composure, but the next name was called out, and Aura Prince took a seat at her house table. She didn't sit next to any others, but at the very end of the table, watching the hat, a grin still stuck on her face. Not as if she were particularly happy about something, just as if that was her normal look.

Down the table two boys shared a look. These two boys you probably know already, and go by the names of James Potter and Sirius Black. They are important later, but lets get back to now, shall we?

Exactly five names later was the next important person called.

"Snape, Severus." He rather skinny boy with chin-length black hair that had a slight wave to it. His eyes seemed to be coal black, but upon closer look, were actually a deep, dark brown.

At first glance, the young boy wasn't exactly handsome, because his rather large nose was the first thing that people noticed. But if you paid closer attention, he had high cheek-bones, a very slim build, and almond shaped eyes. His features in themselves were interesting, and together made the young boy handsome.

He didn't slouch as he walked to the stool, but his jaw was taut and you could tell he wasn't happy, his eyes darting over to a red-head that sat at the Gryffindor table, her eyes looking down. She was obviously upset, and periodically shot dagger at James and Sirius. This girl was Lily Evans.

Severus, with a sigh, sat down. He didn't know if he wanted to be in Slytherin if he couldn't be with Lily.

Hello Mr. Snape.

Severus listened but didn't say, nor think anything back.

Where oh where to put the other Prince. Or, half-prince.

Other? Severus thought sharply.

Oh yes, your sister. Didn't you know?

Your lying.

I don't lie. You have the wit of a Ravenclaw, but the cunning and ambition of a Slytherin. Yet I sense bravery. Oh well, better be... "SLYTHERIN!"

With narrowed eyes, Severus made his way toward his new table, ignoring the congratulations he received, instead thinking about what the Hat had said.

Sister? He didn't have a sister. He was an only child. The hat must ask questions like that to see how people think... yes that's probably it.

Each of our characters brought there attention to the front, when there merry old Headmaster rose to his feet.

"Welcome students, new and old, to another exciting year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! Now, I know you must be hungry, so, as they say, dig in!" Albus Dumbledore cried, clapping his hands together once and beaming.

There were gasps from various first years as food appeared on there plate in front of them, most of them being muggleborns and not yet used to magic. Everyone began to joke and talk and eat, besides a few people.

Aura, for instance, just sat at the end of the table, no one attempting to speak to her though she was very pretty. Aura didn't mind, and put various fruits and vegetables on her place, along with a piece of roast. It was very organized.

Severus didn't seem to care what he was eating, but there was a hint of childish delight at all of the food in front of him.

Little time seemed to have passed before the last of the desserts disappeared from the tables and sleepy eyes of children glanced back tot here Headmaster, who had stood once again.

"And now that our bellies have been filled, it is once again time for announcements. As always, the Forbidden Forest is just that; forbidden." His eyes twinkled as he said this. "Also, we have planted a rare breed of plant this year for the special studies of Professor Sprout, the Whomping Willow. Seeing as this plant is very violent, I would stay away from it unless you wish to die a rather painful and slow death."

There was a collective silence and various raised eyebrows, for the students who weren't new this year knew Dumbledore didn't lie.

"As always, Quidditch trails will be held the second week of term, and second years and above will be able to try out. If you are interested, see Madame Hooch.

I have also been asked by Mr. Filch, the caretaker, to remind you that magic is not allowed outside of the classrooms."

There were a few amused looks now, seeing as no one seemed to follow this rule.

"And now, before you go to bed, let us sing the school song!" The smiles on the Professor's faces seemed rather forced now, but the students sung willingly enough. Or rather, most of them.

With a flick of the wizards wand, ribbons flew out and formed into words over the tables.

"Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,

Teach us something please,

Whether we be old and bald

Or young with scabby knees,

Our heads could do with filling

With some interesting stuff

For now there bare and full of air

Dead flies and bits of fluff,

So teach us things worth knowing

Bring back what we've forgot

Just do your best

We'll do the rest

And learn until our brains all rot!"

No-one noticed the melodic voice of Aura, for she was drowned out by other voices, but she didn't care. She loved singing and that was enough.

Severus, on the other hand, didn't bother pretending. He did not, would not, and wouldn't ever sing. Or dance. Ever.

"Ah music, one of the best types of magic. Well, that is all, so goodnight!" There was a collective squeak and groan and chairs being pushed back, and the rumble of chatter as the students began to converse. Aura hung at the back of the line of Gryffindor first years, the red-headed girl in front of her. A prefect by the name of Russel Hawthorn led the first years up various staircases.

Aura kept track, still gliding along and seemingly uninterested, but in the end she counted the 21 staircases they had to take to read the picture of the Fat Lady; the entrance to the common room.

The room itself was extravagant, filled with scarlet's and golds. A fire was roaring in the fire-place and the room resembled more of a den. Most people stopped and milled around before going up to there dormitories, but as soon as Aura was told where to go, she climbed up the steps and chose the four-poster bed that had her trunk at it's end, it also happened to be the closest to the window. Noticing there were two other beds, each with deep red, velvet curtains that had a gold trim, she assumed they were for her roommates. She was followed by the red-headed girl, and another black-haired girl who was rather short.

Sitting down on her bed, the young girl found her trunk and opened it, hanging a dream catcher and placing a picture on the wall with a sticking charm she already knew, though it wasn't very strong and easily undone.

The red and black haired girl sat down and pulled pajamas on, but the atmosphere was awkward, so the red-headed girl did the most obvious thing; "You know how to do magic already?"

Aura smiled softly and turned around, sitting on her knees. "I was reading a charms text on the train, and practiced. It's easy. I could teach it to you."

The ginger beamed. "Thank you! I'm Lily by the way." The girl, Lily, added after an afterthought.

"I'm Aura." Lily turned to the other girl in there dorm, and offered her another smile.

"Whats your name?"

"I'm Alice Dollie." Alice chirped. The girl's giggled and Alice was overcome by a yawn.

"Well, goodnight." Lily chimed in.

"'Night." Alice murmured sleepily.

"Good Night." Aura whispered, shutting her eyes and curling up on her bed, thoughts of tomorrow swimming through her mind.

So, what do you think? Show me some love and REVIEW! :D
