I do not own Harry Potter; JK Rowling does.
Another day.
Breath, just breath. It's going to be fine. No need to worry.
"ROSE!" shouted my dad, breaking my mini pep talk, "the trains going to leave without you on it" as I ran through the barrier I was greeted with young children laughing and running around, parents crying as they see off their children.
As I scanned the room I spot Lily was a spitting image of her mother, due to her red gingery hair and her brown eye and the random freckles around her nose. James did short of look like his father with his untidy jet black hair but he had Aunt Ginny's eyes but Albus looks just like his dad with his untidy jet black hair (like his brother too) and Al was the only one who had his grandmothers' green eyes.
"LILY! JAMES! ALBUS!" it was great to see them again, Al turned around smiling "Hey cos" I ran to them to greet them with hugs, then saying hi Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny.
"Rose, honestly you shouldn't run off" I turned around to see my mom and dad breathless as they ran after me, "oh sorry mom" I said smiling while I scratching my head.
The goodbyes where short but the hugs were long, I wrapped my arms around my dad and mom tightly, we exchanged goodbyes but we were still hugging. "Promise me you'll be safe, study hard but don't forget to have fun honey. You too Hugo have fun honey I'" my mom said as she whipped her tears away and stepped back so I could board the train. I waved, smiling "DON'T WORRY MOM I WILL! I LOVE YOU BOTH! BYE!" I shouted as I board the train. I could spot my dad trying to hid the tears, I smiled as today was the last time I was going to see my mom and dad.
I turned back to find a cabin that Hugo and me could both sit in, I spotted James, Albus and Lily so I joined them. James was starting he fourth year, Al starting his third same as me and Lily and my brother Hugo were both starting her first year at Hogwarts. Lily and me were like sisters due to our close bond, Al and me were the best of friends and well James and I were pretty close.
As soon as we were settled in, Victorie who was the oldest child of Fleur and Bill and Teddy who was the only child of Remus and Nymphadora. Came to greet us "I hope you guys are ready" Victorie said smiling. We all looked at each other "so how's the couple business going" me, Al and James said in unison causing them to blush "oh sod off" Victorie said as her blushing died down, they both joined us, we chatted and Teddy showed off his metamorphous skills off as he changed his hair and eye colour. Few hours went past as they both were about to leave "you should all change into your robes we're going to be arriving soon" Victorie said as she left
James, Al and I all changed into our Gryffindor robes, Hugo and Lily changed into their robes as well. "AL!" A voice shouted Al and I both turned around to see Scorpius Malfoy who was like a brother to Al. He greeted Al with a big bear hug, oh god he we go again I thought as their bromance had started were it left off. "Malfoy" I said staring at him "Weasley" as he looked me up and down.
"So… How was your holiday?" Al said as he broke the tension, Scorpious smiled and said wonderful, they trailed off leaving me alone. Just great! "ROSE!" I recognised the voice, "DOM! EM!" we ran to each other and then headed off to the carriages
Victorie and Teddy and Hagrid helped the first years to the boats and into the castle were the sorting ceremony began. Professor Longbottom leaded the first year to the great hall. I spotted Lily and Hugo and flashed them a smile, everyone watched as Professor Longbottom brought out a stool and a worn out hat then he began his speech; soon after he finished, the sorting hat sang it's famous song;
In times of old, when I was new,
And Hogwarts barely started,
The Founders of our noble school
Thought never to be parted.
United by a common goal,
They had the selfsame yearning
To make the world's best magic school
And pass along their learning.
Now each of these four founders
Formed their own house, for each,
Did value different virtues
In the ones they had to teach.
You might belong in Gryffindor
Where dwell the brave at heart
Their daring nerve and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart.
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning
Will always find their kind;
You might belond in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means
To achieve their ends;
While still alive they did divide
Their favorites form the throng,
Yet how to pick the worthy ones
When they were dead and gone?
'Twas Gryffindor who found the way,
He whipped me off his head
They founders put some brains in me
So I could choose instead!
Now slip me snug about your ears,
I've never yet been wrong,
I'll have a look inside your brain
And see where you belong!
"Boot, Coralline!" Professor Longbottom said, though obviously quite nervously. Coralline nervously walked up to the stool, sat down, and put the Hat on the Hat took a few moments before finally shouting "HUFFLEPUFF!" to loud cheers and applause from the Hufflepuff Table. Everyone else clapped politely.
The names just kept coming, "Finnigan, Michelle" who was sorted into Hufflepuff. "Rose, Mary", "May, Anna" and "Miedra, Ruby" were sorted into Ravenclaw. A few more names were called out, then came the moment of truth "Potter, Lily" the hall was in silence, Lily turned back and she looked at me and I then gave her the thumbs up.
She made her way to the stool and sat down; the hat barely touched her and it shouted "GRYFFINDOR!" The whole table screamed and clapped the loudest I stood up and ran to greet Lily and the rest of the table said their hellos' before settling down. "Weasley, Hugo" said the Professor, I calmly waited he's cleaver he might be in Ravenclaw, he's also brave and a Weasley for goodness sake he's going to be "SLYTHERIN!" The hat interrupted my thought and left me in shot no he can't be, we all were in shock but Albus just smiled and I followed his gaze and sound Scorpius's arm around Hugo and Hugo seem pretty happy.
The sorting ceremony was finished and Gryffindor gained 11 new first years including Lily, Slytherin gained 3 including Hugo, Ravenclaw gained 4 and Hufflepuff had gained 2 new first year. Hugo went off with Scorpius to the dungeons were the Slytherin common room is.
I guided Lily into the Gryffindor common room and told her the password and everyone welcomed her into the Gryffindor family.
Today was amazing! Can't wait for tomorrow. I hope Hugo's fine with Malfoy the thoughts filled my mind but then I slow trailed off into a deep sleep.
