YEAR 1: Our HP story Year 1
Rachel POV:
I ran through the barrier and appeared on the platform 9¾. With the help of my parents got my owl and my trunk onto the train. My father handed my spending money while my sister was upset because she wanted to go to Hogwarts as well. I went inside the train and found a carriage with three people in it. I knocked on the door and said "Can I sit here please, I told my friend to come and find me since she has a habit of arriving late." I was given a response by a girl with long brown hair she replied by saying, "sure, I'm Georgia; I'm guessing you are a first year too. This is Katie Cross and Michelle Taute." One of the other girls smiled and shook her head then said "Calm down G, if not for our sake then, how are you going to be a Slytherin? By the way I'm Katie that's Michelle." I smiled and sat down next to Katie when she noticed my magazine, it was a muggle one but well enough it was good. I let her flick through it as Frankie walked in and said "There you are! Hey I'm Frankie." Katie smiled still looking at the magazine in confusion, Georgia looked over and said in confusion "Why are the pictures staying still?" I looked at her in surprise Michelle answered my question by saying "Pureblood, her family respects but doesn't like muggles." Georgia smiled then looked at Frankie and said "Well, let's introduce ourselves, I'm Georgia, that's Michelle, That's Katie and I'm kind of guessing you know Rachel."
After a lot of conversation a boy walked in, he was about to introduce himself when Katie said "Ladies, this is Draco Malfoy, only son and heir to the Malfoy line." Draco looked at Katie and said "Cross." He looked around to see Georgia who nodded at him then said "Go Draco, I think Blaize or was it... Yes it was Pansy, she's looking for you and no I'm sooo not hiding you from her." The boy walked out and I noticed Georgia relaxed.
KATIE POV:
As Malfoy walked out we started our conversations again, Georgia pestering Rachel about the muggle world. Me and Frankie were talking about Horses while Michelle just seemed content with her rather large book. After a few minutes Georgia started pestering Michelle while Rachel joined mine and Frankie's conversation. As soon as we got onto the interesting topic of Breeds of horses another first year walked in, she had brown busy hair and said in a very patriotic voice, "Excuse me, have you seen a toad a boy named Neville's lost one." Michelle looked at her and said "I'm sorry, we haven't. Have you tried the accio spell?" The girl shook her head and said "No I didn't, can you do it please I want to see it done oh yes the Toads name is Trevor. I'm Hermione by the way, Hermione Granger." Michelle looked at her and took out her wand then said "Accio Trevor." Georgia quickly opened the door and a toad came (literally) flying in, I caught it just before it splattered into the window. Rachel smiled and said "Well, you can sit with us Hermione if you want but while we all get changed do you want to give Neville back his toad." Hermione nodded and I carefully placed the toad into her palm, she then walked off. As we all got changed Frankie asked Georgia about the sorting which to she replied "I don't know all my father would say is that 'you can ask where you want to go'"
After we all got changed, Georgia looked outside and said "I'm going to try and find Hermione and Neville. Cya at the sorting." She then casually walked out of the compartment.
As the train stopped we all got out hearing a call "First years this way!" I saw Georgia walking next to Neville and then literally run into this boy with very messy hair. He turned and she said something to him and he nodded in return. Georgia got on a boat with Draco and two other boys, Hermione got on with Neville and two other boys, while I got on a boat with Rachel, Frankie and Michelle. As we turned I saw Hogwarts, it was better than my parents ever described, I turned behind to see Rachel and Frankie staring in wonder at it, while when I turned to Michelle she was to also staring at it in wonder. Hagrid showed us where we were going, we all were introduced to Professor McGonagall who gave us a speech about houses being our family. Georgia appeared by my side while Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy got at each other's throats. I saw Michelle roll her eyes and Professor McGonagall walked in then we all followed her where there was a hat sitting on a stool, Professor McGonagall started calling our names and I drowned the first ones out until she yelled,
"Hannah Abbot...Hufflepuff!"
"Francessca Bradbury...Gryffindor!"
"Susan Bones... Hufflepuff!"
"Katie Cross" I walked up to the stool and sat down as soon as the hat went onto my head it yelled "Gryffindor!" I smiled and the hat was taken of me then I made my way over to where Frankie who hugged me and we both sat down.
FRANKIE POV
"Hermione Granger...Gryffindor!"
I smiled at Hermione and hugged her, she smiled and sat next to me.
"Rachel Jay...Gryffindor!"
Rachel sat opposite and said "Georgia is either Hufflepuff or Gryffindor."
"Neville Longbottom...Gryffindor!"
Neville sat by Hermione after having to run back to give back the hat.
"Draco Malfoy...Slytherin"
He smirked I saw Georgia look at him, he nodded and walked to the table of the snakes.
"Pansy Parkinson...Slytherin!"
Pansy walked over following where Draco had graced a few seconds before, she sat next to Draco and started talking to him.
"Georgia Peterson...Gryffindor!"
Georgia smiled and I saw the smile not getting to her eyes, I clapped for her and she walked over to our table and sat in an empty space and mouthed the word "Later" to Rachel. Who nodded in return, She then turned her head towards the sorting."
"Harry Potter...Gryffindor!"
The cheer was deafening and Georgia hugged him and whispered something into his ear. They then sat down while another name was called out.
"Michelle Taute...Gryffindor!"
We all clapped and Michelle sat next to Neville, she smiled at us then turned towards the sorting.
"Ronald Weasely...Gryffindor!"
He came down to where our table was and immediately sat next to Harry Potter, while getting congratulated by all his brothers. A number of other names were called out then the last boy was called.
"Blaize Zambi...Slytherin!"
Georgia leaned towards me and said "We might all be in different dorms, I'm rather scared there has never been a Peterson in Gryffindor before."
All the first year Gryffindor's followed Percy Weasely to our new common room when I walked up the stairs that we were instructed to I saw my name on a gold plack.
FRANCESSCA BRADBURY
KATIE CROSS
RACHEL JAY
GEORGIA PETERSON
MICHELLE TAUTE
I yelled "Rachel, Katie, Michelle, Georgia we're in the same room!" They all ran up the stairs and Georgia bolted inside and yelled "WOW all out stuff is in here! There you are Snowy!" I followed Katie inside to see Georgia holding a pure white cat in her arms, she smiled and said "This is my cat Snowy, just a warning she'll come onto your beds and I gave up stopping her a few months ago." We all sat down while Georgia started going through her trunk for something, I heard a loud crash and Michelle winced then looked in and said "Untracable extendable charm, nice!" Georgia smiled and said "It was my step-mother. She's very good at charms. Ah here it is!" We all crowded around and Georgia pulled out a bag and a book, well more like a journal but it was full. I saw a name on the front written in Golden ink,
Property of Lilly Elizabeth Evans
To my beloved God Daughter use it to cheer you up when you need to.
Katie opened the bag to see a box of chocolates and a large bottle of butter beer. With eight glasses, Georgia walked out of the room and got the rest of the new Gryffindor girls we spent a while sharing and talking the chocolates, I noticed that Georgia had hidden her book. The other girls introduced themselves as Padma, Lavender and we already knew Hermione. When we all fished Georgia told everyone to go to bed since we had potions first thing apparently. All the other girls quickly ran to their dorm and we all got changed, Georgia putting her book in the bag then practically collapsing onto her bed and falling asleep. I got into my bed and fell asleep wondering what would happen during our time at Hogwart's.
