The Girl That Know One Knew
A.N- k this is based on a girl going to Hogwarts and being in Gryffindor. She is in the same year as Harry and Co. There are flashbacks if it gets confusing let me know. I will try to fix it.
Disclaimer-I own Mandy's first name but not her last and I think everything else belongs to the wonderful J.K Rowling.
The Girl That Know One Knew
"Moon, Mandy," Professor McGonagall called. An outspoken young girl stepped up to the sorting hat. She placed it upon her head and the room fell dark. "Hmm…, a voice in her head said. Yes you are difficult you have the right stuff for Slytherin. You are brave, shrewd and cunning. Yes I feel Slytherin my be the one for you."
"But hasn't that house turned out the most dark witches and wizards ever?" Mandy asked uncertainly.
"Yes I do believe they have. Does that make a difference?" said the voice Mandy now recognized as the Sorting Hat.
"Yes of course it makes a difference! Mandy thought defiantly. I don't want to be a witch who destroys the world,"
"Ah I see. You realize that the Dark Arts aren't for you?" the hat replied.
"Yes of course. Why would somebody want to be evil?" Mandy asked confused.
"You see some people use evil to escape their problems yet I see you don't. Because of this I declare you GRYFFINDOR!" the hat shouted the last words to the hall and a modest applause greeted Mandy to her new home.
Mandy sat down at the Gryffindor table and she could see the great Albus Dumbledore. Mandy was new to this whole magic thing. She had been a muggle and she was always normal yet then her mother told her, on her eleventh birthday, that she was a witch. Mandy's life had drastically changed over the past month. She had moved to England from her own home in sunny California and then she had found out she was a witch. Mandy loved all the things that had to do with magic. She was amazed that she could actually do this.
While Mandy pondered all this the rest of the sorting had been going on. Then she heard the name Harry Potter. At this everyone in the hall began to whisper and Mandy had no idea why. From what she could tell he was just an ordinary boy (well except for the fact that he was a wizard) who was about to be sorted. When he was announced to be in Gryffindor the whole Gryffindor table exploded. Mandy was still quite confused and all through dinner she wondered why he was so special. After dinner Dumbledore gave his speial (sp?) and they all went off to bed.
Mandy was to share a room with girls named Hermione, Lavender, and Pavarti. Mandy didn't talk to them much and fell instantly asleep wondering about whom this Harry Potter is.
