They stood among the first years. Two girls starting their sixth year at a new school. Emma Hickey and Alison Morris were the best of friends. they new each other when they lived in Canada and attended a wizarding school there. But then their Parents had moved to Europe, Emma's to Ireland, and Alison's to Scotland. They were just about to be sorted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Professor McGonagall looked around at all of the students.
"Two young witches will be starting this year along wit the first years. They will be starting their sixth year here. I will start with them first." Emma and Alison smiled at each other. "Emma Hickey." Profesor McGonagall called. Emma hesitantly made her way up to the stool and sat down. the hat was placed upon her head, and she could hear it muttering.
"Oh, Oh yes.. lots of courage.. mmhmm LOTS of courage... and Wisdom two.. cunning and caring... I almost don't know where to put you! but I think you'll do well in... GRYFFINDOR!
Emma smiled as she walked towards the table below the red and gold banners. She sat next to a sixth year boy with black hair and green eyes.
"Hi!" he said." Welcome to Hogwarts, I'm Harry, ad I believe we'll be in the same class!" Emma looked at his handsome features. she saw his scar and her mouth nearly dropped. then she saw the look on his face when she noticed the lightning bolt shaped scar. she smiled.
"Nice to meet you! I'm Emma." but she was cut from her happy conversation with Harry when Professor McGonagall called: "Alison Morris" Emma held her breath as her best friend sat with the sorting hat upon her head. She could not hear what the hat said through the thoughts beating in her own head when it shouted "RAVENCLAW!!"
"NOOOO!" Emma bellowed as she leapt at her friend heading towards the table with the blue and silver banners. Emma and Alison looked around at the whole school, staring at them.
"Miss Hickey!" McGonagall sighed. "Would you please explain what is wrong?" Emma swallowed a large lump in her throat.
"I'm sorry Proffesor." She began, "But Alison and I have been together since we were 8 years old! We've gone through school together and now we're being separated!" Professor McGonagall sighed. Alison turned to look at Emma as Harry approached them.
"Listen, Emmy, we'll still see each other around school! Hell, we'll be in the same classes, Divination, Care of Magical Creatures and Astrology! so I'll see you around. Don't worry, we'll still be friends, and you'll have people like this guy here, " she pointed at Harry, "To be your friends too. so don't worry, Em, I'll see ya!" Harry Escorted Emma back to the Gryffindor table as Emma and Alison looked longingly at each other.
