James
There she was again, the red haired girl, who stormed out of our compartment with the Snivellus-boy, the greasy haired one.
Her name was Lily Evans, he found out as the stern-teacher who introduced herself as Professor McGonagall, called her up to be sorted. She looked nervous. James hoped that the Snivellus-boy would be wrong, that she wouldn't go to Slytherin, she looked far too nice to be a Slytherin, any house would be better than Slytherin for her, even Hufflepuff!
When the Sorting Hat was placed on her head it fell over her eyes.
She's very small James thought as she sat there. He also noticed that her hair must be soft because the hat just fell over the curls rather than sat on them.
James began to get worried when the hat didn't shout out a name, but after a minute the hat shouted 'GRYFFINDOR!' and his fears were put to rest. He felt like cheering, especially when he heard the Snivellus-boy groan, but as he had not yet been sorted it would just make him look stupid.
James now had even more reason to want to be a Gryffindor, not only was Sirius Black one, but so was Lily Evans. And then the other boy he had been sat with on the train had also just gone into Gryffindor, he really wanted to be in that house.
James was starting to get anxious now. Eventually when his name was called he knew that he would either be the last boy to be sorted into Gryffindor (as there were only five boys and five girls to a house) or sorted into a house that he'd hate. He decided to make it obvious he would hate the house, if it wasn't Gryffindor. Maybe if he made such a fuss Dumbledore would move him.
'Potter, James!' James walked up to the stool and sat down. The hat was placed on his head and then he heard the small voice of it talking to him ...
'Potter eh? Well well well, where shall we place you? Your parents were of course in Gryffindor, and you seem to have that noble, chivalrous quality about you, however, you'd also be suited to the other houses, you have a good mind, you're cunning, and you're loyal. But then you've already made your friends all of whom I've sorted, and I've seen you in their heads. They're hoping you'll be in the same house as them. I think I shall place you with them, Gryffindor would suit you well ... GRYFFINDOR'
James pulled the hat off of his head, handed it to McGonagall, and headed off to the clapping table. He saw Sirius, and he saw him sitting next to the girl called Lily. He went and sat in between the two.
As he sat down the girl turned to see what was happening behind her, she looked him up and down and then met his eyes.
Her green eyes stared at his hazel ones, and stared. They continued to stare until the name 'Snape, Severus!' was called. When she heard the name she instantly turned back to the front.
James already hated the Snivellus-boy. But he did not dwell on it then, for he had a huge feast and rather pleasant company on all apart from one side of him. Hogwarts was going to be great. The one thing he did keep in mind was the girl with the green eyes. He wanted them to stare at him again. However, the green eyes did not meet the hazel ones often in the future years, but every time they met they transfixed each other.
