Heyyy people long time no see! Sorry ive been super busy with school and stuff but ive found some time to create this new little story, I hope you like it!
Nothing. The single word is all my worth. Nothing. I mean absolutely nothing to anyone in this world. No one could ever give a shit about me. Hell, my own Aunt and Uncle hate my guts. They're stuck with me because my parents died in a car accident. They're sending me away to a private boarding school because they are tired of being reminded of my existence every single day. I don't know if I'm a painful reminder of my parents or if I'm just a nuisance brought into their lives by force; maybe that's why I'm going to Hogwarts Academy. Never mind my thoughts, they mean nothing to everyone around me.
"Harry Potter?" A tall guff looking fellow called out at me. He waved as he spotted me and walked in my direction. He was even taller up close. He towered over me as he smiled, "Harry Potter right?"
"Yes sir, that's me." I tried to be as polite as I could.
"Oh please, call me Hagrid. It's a pleasure to meet you, Harry." We shook hands as his smile widened. He seemed to be a very friendly fellow, even for a big guy. "Well we have to ride this train to get to Hogwarts Academy, come along."
I followed him to a very large train and I saw that there were people my age boarding it as well. Hagrid took notice of my questioning look and answered my unspoken question, "No Hogwarts school year hasn't started yet, public schools just started yearly this year. Your first real school day starts Monday. Everything else can be explained at school, now hurry up, you have to catch the train."
I grabbed my very few personal items and boarded the train, saying goodbye to Hagrid who assured me that he would be at the school by the time the train makes it there. It took me a bit but I found an empty cabin inside the train and sat down in it. I put my luggage above me and brought out a book to read while waiting for the train to take us to the academy.
"Hey is this seat open?" A red haired boy asked. He pointed at the seat in front of me. I shook my head and he smiled. "May I take it?" Nodding, red haired boy smiled and sat down. "I'm Ron, Ronald Weasley if you must know my full name. What's yours?"
"Harry Potter."
"You're the Harry Potter?!" Ron exclaimed as if I was a celebrity, but I certainly am not a celebrity because I am nothing.
"I'm just Harry Potter. Maybe you have me confused with someone else, although I don't know anyone else of that name…" I shrugged.
"Oh 'scuse me, I just meant that you're the new transfer student everyone is talking about." The red haired boy said, as if it meant anything to me.
"I'm sorry, but can you explain further please?" I asked, tilting my head to the right slightly in confusion.
"Oh sorry, yeah of course I'll explain." He scooted up onto the edge of the seat, "What I meant was that it's hard to get into this school as a transfer if you didn't start out at the school. We have a middle school that you start out in 6th grade. After 9th grade you go to the High School, where we are headed to now. You're in your first year of high school like me right?"
"Yes I am."
"Maybe we'll get lucky and end up in the same wing." Ron smiled.
"Maybe." I smiled back, maybe Ron and I can become friends. "So tell me a bit about yourself."
"Well you already know my name, I have five older brothers and a younger sister. Two of my older brothers are twins. Three of my brothers should be on the train somewhere. Percy, the third oldest, is probably in the prefect part of the train with other prefects. George and Fred are probably scheming something or causing mischief. Those two are the twins, they're older than me. Then my oldest brother William, we call him Bill, has already graduated along Charlie who graduated a couple years ago. Percy Graduates this year. Then there is Ginny, she's okay for a sister. How about you, what's your family like?" Ron asked.
"I don't really have a family. My parents died in a car accident when I was a baby, I live with my Aunt and Uncle who have my cousin Dudley, and I'm an only child."
"Wow okay. Well we're almost at the school, lets change into the school uniform."
We went into the changing rooms on the train and put on the school uniform of black slacks, white button down shirt, and a black jacket with the school's insignia on it. Your dorm room is already picked out along with the house you're assigned to, what I learned listening to conversations.
Soon we arrived at the very large school. It was quite the sight for first years like myself. On the platform I saw Hagrid, who was waving at the train as it slowly pulled up to a stop.
Grabbing our luggage we all filed out of the train. "First Years over here!" Hagrid called out, "Leave your luggage next to the train!"
Everyone did as they were told and gathered around the big man. It was a large first year class. All other students who weren't first years walked past and into the building. As soon as the platform was cleared of everyone except first years and Hagrid, we all followed Hagrid into the building. He led us to a large room with one other person.
"Welcome to Hogwarts Academy, I am Professor McGonagall. I teach English. I am also the head of the Gryffindor house, so if you're in Gryffindor and have any questions please report to me. The other heads of the houses should be here shortly, and when they get here we can start the sorting." She smiled slightly, obviously trying to reassure the first years.
Just then a man with longish greasy black hair strolled in through the doors followed by two people, a short stubbly man and an older woman, as his robe bellowed beneath him.
"Ah, here they are now. Fellow Heads of Houses please, introduce yourselves." Mrs. McGonagall said.
"I am professor Snape, I am the head of the Slytherin house." The tall greasy haired guy said.
"I am professor Sprout, I am the head of Hufflepuff, pleased to meet you." The older woman smiled warmly at the first years while Snape just scowled, I knew instantly that I wouldn't like him.
"I am Professor Flitwick, I am the head of Ravenclaw." The shortest man in the room said.
Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape explained the rules, and how to behave on campus. Then we each were sorted into the four categories. Ron and I both got Gryffindor, what luck. We all were escorted to the back side of the school past the courtyard to where four separate large buildings were hidden by the enormous castle of a school. McGonagall took us to the first building on the right, the Gryffindor house was full of red and gold, fascinating really. When we went inside there was a burst of energy as other students welcomed us into their home. Professor McGonagall turned us over to the prefects. Percy led us up to the boy side of the dorm/house and showed us each where our rooms were. Luckily we even had a little name tag on the door to make sure no one took the wrong room. Ron was in the same hall, same side, and was just a few doors down from me.
Opening the door to my room I noticed how large it was. I had my own bathroom, a large bed, and there was a dresser. Next to the bed was a night stand with a lamp on it. The dresser faced my bed and I had a desk underneath a window that overlooked the courtyard and other houses. Across from us was the Slytherin house. Next to the Slytherin's were Hufflepuffs, and next to us were the Ravenclaw. I opened the window and let the fresh air fill my room. Turning back I realized that it was all mine. About 10 times more than what I owned at home, my little room under the stair case. I put my regular clothes in the bottom drawer of the dresser. I opened the top two drawers and was surprised to find them filled with school clothes. In the top two tiny drawers I found ties and socks. The other two tiny drawers I put my underwear and some more recreational clothes on. After taking care of all of my belongings I laid down on top of the large, soft, comfy bed. We have weekends off so I am allowed to sleep in tomorrow. In the morning we have a breakfast served here, the cafeteria is in the school building. I'll just go see tomorrow with Ron. Slowly I drifted off to sleep…
okie dokie guys let me know, please review and comment!
