Chapter1: Trains and Meetings and reaching Hogwarts

Serena Black just made her way onto the train that would take her to Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry after saying goodbye to her father and mother. She then went to meet up with her friends Harry Potter, Lionel Lupin and Caitlyn Pettigrew. When she entered the compartment where she was to meet with the others and notice two new additions to the gang.

"Hi Serena" came the cheerful voices of Harry, Lionel and Caitlyn.

"Hi guys," replied Serena with a smile

"Who are they?"

"Hello I'm Ronald Weasley, but please call me Ron every one else does" said a boy with bright flaming red hair, a peppering of freckles, and bright blue eyes. He was built in a tall, gangly way.

"Hello My name is Hermione Granger it's nice to meet you" replied a girl with long bushy chestnut brown hair and warm honey brown eyes.

"The pleasure is all mine, what house do you think you'll be in?" asked Serena.

"Gryffindor" said Ron with a smile.

"Well I did research and Gryffindor sounds the best to me I think Ravenclaw will be alright but defiantly not Hufflepuff or Slytherin" said Hermione.

"Anything from the trolley dears?" asked a voice from the doorway to their compartment.

It was the snack trolley. Serena and the others threw looks at each other.

" No thanks I'm all set" said Ron who held up a sand which and pulled a face.

" We'll take the lot" exclaimed Harry who pulled some galleons out of his pocket making Ron's eyes bug out.

" Hey Serena, catch" said Harry as he tossed Serena a chocolate frog and a box of Bertie Bott's every flavor bean.

" Thanks Harry" replied Serena as she opened her chocolate frog.

Serena, Hermione and Caitlyn kicked the boys out of the compartment to change into their school uniforms..

Chapter 2: Sorting and Houses

The first years are standing if front of a very strict looking woman. Some seemed scared and some acted calm which were mainly Serena, Harry, Lionel and Caitlyn.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," said Professor McGonagall.

"Now shortly you'll pass through these doors and join your classmates. But before you take your seats, you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff... Ravenclaw and Slytherin. While you're here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you points. Any rule-breaking ( looks straight at Harry, Serena, Lionel and Caitlyn) and you will lose points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points will win the house cup. The Sorting Ceremony will begin momentarily."

Professor McGonagall walked off to go get the list and the sorting hat leaving the students to talk among themselves. Unfortunately a certain smirking boy decided to cause trouble.

"What are you doing here Black? I thought you were going to school in Japan." asked the smirking boy.

"Talking about your momma again Malfoy. I prefer coming here to Hogwarts like my father did" said Serena with a smug smirk on her face.

The kids started laughing at what Serena said. Professor McGonagall just came back with a scroll in her hand with their names on it. They shut up very quickly. (Gee! I wonder why)

"We're ready for you now. Follow me." said Professor McGonagall as she walked through the great hall doors with the first years following. They stop in front of the staff table.

"Will you wait along here please?" asked Professor McGonagall.

They students did as she asked. Serena smirk after playfully hitting Harry in the back of the head.

"Now, before we begin... Professor Dumbledore would like to say a few words." said Professor McGonagall.

"I have a few start of term notices I wish to announce. The first years. Please note... that the Dark Forest is strictly forbidden to all students." said Professor Dumbledore.

"When I call your name, you will come forth. I shall place the Sorting Hat on your head...and you will be sorted into your houses." said Professor McGonagall

"Hermione Granger"

"Oh no, Okay relax" Hermione said to herself as she walked up.

"Right, then. Right. ok then," said the sorting hat before shouting

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Draco Malfoy" said Professor McGonagall.

"SLYTHERIN!" yelled the hat.

"Susan Bones" exclaimed prof. McGonagall.

"Lets see ... I know,"

"HUFFLEPUFF'' yelled the hat.

"Ronald Weasley" said Prof. McGonagall

"Another Weasley! I know just what to do with you,"

"GRYFFINDOR" shouted the hat.

"Harry Potter" said Prof. McGonagall.

"GRYFFINDOR" yelled the hat.

"Serena Black" replied Prof. McGonagall.

"GRYFFINDOR"

"Serena before you go to your seat I want to know something" said Prof. Dumbledore.

"Yes Professor?" asked Serena.

"Are you anything like your father?" asked Prof. Dumbledore.

"I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good" said Serena before heading to her house table.
