Hey, I don't own Harry Potter this is my disclaimer for the entire story, I'm too lazy to put it at the beginning of each chapter, hope you like my story! Alibella
The first years were all nervous as they waited in the corridor. A tiny girl with long curls the color of antique bronze bounced impatiently on her heels. That was me, the nerves were getting to me. I simply could not sit still as the tall strict teacher called Professor Mgonagle led us into the great hall. We all walk into the place, the other students were whispering in awe of the place, I was used to magic and it felt more comfortable to me in here. I waited as patiently as possible as the strict woman started calling names out in alphabetic order. "Essance, Katherena" I heard my name called out sharply, I walked up and sat on the stool. She place the battered old hat on my head and it all began.
"Oh my!" the hat exclaimed delightedly "It's been quite awhile since I've had one one like you! Ah but lets see where to put you?" The hat continued to debate with it self for a good five minutes before it made up its mind "Griffindor!" it finally shouted out. I skipped happily to the Griffindor table and sat down next to a pretty red head who had gone just before me "Is it okay if i sit with you?" I asked politely, she nodded. I grinned "I'm Katherena Essance, Kat for short, what's your name?" i said shaking her hand.
"I'm Lily Evans, nice to meet you." she said smiling hesitently, I grinned back at her. More and more students were sorted and eventually, finally, it was time to eat. i had my eyes glued to some steak just out of my reach. I looked at the boy sitting across from me, i bet he could reach it.
"Excuse me, could you please pass me some of that steak?" I asked politely looking directly into his eyes, they were gray like mine but a slightly darker shade.
"Sure" he said smiling and passing it to me.
"Thanks" I said grabbing a large piece of with my fork and passing it back to him.
"I'm Sirius, Sirius Black" he said flashing a charming smile at me. I smiled back at him looking up through my eyelashes.
"I'm Katherena Essance, Kat for short, it's nice to meet you Sirius." i said still smiling I looked down to cut my steak tucking my hair behind my ear. A boy with messy black hair elbowed Sirius in the side. Sirius rolled his eyes dramatically.
"And this is James Potter." He said gesturing to the blue eyed boy who elbowed him. I smiled.
"Hi James." I said glancing over at Lily who had snorted. "What?" I asked her quietly.
"I'd watch out for those two if I were you, they're arrogant bully's." She said her green eyes sincere. I nodded thoughtfully trusting her judgement. They seemed nice enough to me, but then again they always did. I made polight conversation with everyone around me while i ate untill it was time for bed. i walked quietly beside Lily to exhausted to make conversation.
Classes soon started and life at Hogwarts started to move smoothly into a pattern. breakfast, classes, lunch, classes, homework, hangout time, bed time and repeat. Me and Lily grew closer everyday and hung out every weekend and so on and so forth very few things changed till fifth year.
