A/N- Welcome to this fanfiction. I wouldn't recommend reading if you haven't read Divergent or Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone. This chapter is mostly just an introduction. The real story will start next chapter.
Disclaimer- I do not own divergent or Harry Potter
Harry-
Today is the day. I got a letter from a so-called 'magic school' called Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry earlier in the summer. A man named Hagrid took me to get my school supplies on my birthday at the very end of July. It is now September 1st. School starts today. I have to get on a train called the Hogwarts express on platform 9 3/4 at 11 o'clock at Kings Cross Station. There is no platform 9 3/4. I don't know how I'm going to get onto the platform. My parents are dead. Supposedly, they got killed by the greatest dark wizard ever, Lord Voldemort. Most wizards fear that name. I don't get it. I've lived with my aunt and uncle for 10 years, ever since I was 1 year old because my parents died and I have no other living family. I wouldn't really count the Dursley's as 'family' though. They've treated me like I was invisible for 15 years. Until a few weeks ago, I slept in the cupboard under the stairs. I didn't know I was a wizard until a few weeks ago. Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon never mentioned magic. I've always been forbidden to ask questions or talk about anything realistic. I was told that my parents died in a car crash, the same car crash that gave me the strange lightning bolt-shaped scar on my forehead. I wake up to Aunt Petunia pounding on my door telling me if I wanted to get to the train I would have to be ready to leave in a 1/2 hour. I spring out of bed and get ready.
Tobias-
I'm out of bed early today. It's September 1st. I start my third year at Hogwarts today. Hogwarts is my home. I stay there during winter and Easter breaks. I can't stay home. Here, my father beats me. His name is Marcus Eaton and he is the leader of one of the four houses, Slytherin. The four houses are Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. He is a muggle and is even madder that I leave to a magic school during the year so when I am home during the summer, I get beaten even more than I used to. At school I'm in the Dauntless house. We honor bravery. The other factions are Erudite, who honor knowledge, Abnegation, who honor selflessness, Candor, who honor honesty, and Amity, who honor kindness. To cover up some of the scars on my back, I got a tattoo of all the factions and some Dauntless flames on my back during second year. We have those options at Dauntless. We can get tattoos, train for fights, pretty much we fan do whatever we want, as long as we wear our black robes. All of the factions have. A color they have to wear. Dauntless has black robes. Amity has yellow and red robes. Candor ha black and white. Erudite has blue. Abnegation has grey. I would hate to be Abnegation. They have to wear such plain clothes to not attract attention to each other. They can't even look at themselves in the mirror. They are so nice to people. I could never do that. We even have a great tower. It has a chasm, dormitories, 2 for each year and boys and girls are in different dormitories, we have training rooms, and a pit, the main center of life at Dauntless. The Dauntless are the reckless ones who have not a care I'm the world. Dauntless also has the best quiddich team. I'm the keeper for Dauntless. I joined the team last year. No first years get onto the team. They're not even allowed their own broomsticks. I mean, some Dauntless first years do, but were Dauntless. We don't follow the rules. This is my home. I have friends, Shauna and Zeke. Shauna's little sis and Zeke's little bro are starting today. I don't have any siblings. My mother died when she was having her second kid, and the child died shortly after. I was left alone to get abused by my father. I only have to deal with him for 2 months of the year now. I look at the clock. It's 6:34 AM. I have to leave for Kings Cross in 4 hours. I live only about 3 miles away from the station, so I walk. I don't even say goodbye to my father. He can't contact me at school. He doesn't understand owl post. That's a good thing. 6:35. I get to leave soon. I've been waiting for this for 2 months.
Tris-
School starts today. I'm a first year and I can't wait to be sorted into a faction, go to classes, meet other wizards and witches. I grew up in a wizarding family. Everyone in my family was in Abnegation. My brother, Caleb, and I are probably next. I don't think I would fit into Abnegation very well. I don't think I'm selfless enough. It's different for Caleb. He's naturally selfless. He doesn't need to even try at all. I've tried my entire life to be selfless enough, but it hasn't worked. Living in a family that's all been Abnegation, everything has been very plain and boring. I don't even think we own a mirror. If we do, it's locked away somewhere. We can't do anything that might be considered selfish. We even have to eat really boring food. I know I won't stay in Abnegation. I've tried my whole life to be selfless enough, I just never have. There's no way Caleb will be anything but Abnegation. He's 10 months older than me, so he's still 16, also. We will both be choosing at Hogwarts tomorrow. You get your faction by the sorting hat being placed on your head and it reads your thoughts. It tells you quietly what faction you belong in, quiet enough that no one but you can hear. Then you go to the choosing bowls and cut your hand. You join a faction by letting your blood drip into one of the bowls. I am looking forward to being my own person and being free from the selfless ways. I am ready to go to Hogwarts. I am ready to leave my family.
Hermione-
I was at most surprised when I got a letter from Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry to study magic for seven years there. I have a non-magic family. I didn't even know that magic existed, let alone me being a Witch. My parents were of course, very happy for me. They took me to go shopping in Diagon Alley, to get my school supplies. I hear some people from wizarding families calling us "muggles" and me a "mudblood". Of course, I don't know what that means, but by the tone they were saying it in, it was an insult. I don't care though. I will show them that I am not weak. I will be at the top if the class. I will be ahead and better than every witch or wizard from wizard families. I couldn't sleep last night. I'm too excited for the start of school. Nervous too. What if they decide that I can't learn magic because my family isn't wizards? I'm supposed to get on the Hogwarts Express at Platform 9 and 3/4. I've been to Kings Cross, multiple times and there is no Platform 9 and 3/4. I honestly don't know what I am going to do. Maybe I'll find a wizard family getting on the platform to help me.
Ron-
I finally get to go to Hogwarts today. I've been waiting to go ever since my oldest brother, Bill left. I have 6 siblings. 5 of them are older than me. They're all my brothers. Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, and George. Then I have my little sister Ginny. All of my family has been in Dauntless. That's where I want to be. I feel I would let my family down if I got sorted into any other faction. You can pick whatever faction you want, despite what the sorting hat tells you. It is just best to go in the faction the hat tells you. It's where you really belong. I'm going to choose what the hat tells me to. I want to be where I belong- where I fit in. Living in a family of 9 and being one of the middle kids never has anything just about you. If I got sorted into, lets say, Amity, I would be different and special. I would be noticed. If I got sorted into Dauntless like the rest of my family, I wouldn't let them down and if I ever needed anything, I could talk to my brothers. The different factions aren't supposed to socialize much. Headmaster Professor Dumbledore would prefer not to have to deal with fights amongst the different factions. Most of the time, they don't agree with each other. They all blame the Purity War on different things. Dauntless and Amity are most unalike. Amity blame the war on anger and honor happiness and peace. Dauntless blame the war on cowardice and honor bravery and they have a lot of violence. They are pretty different factions. They have most of the fights. Dauntless are in 90% of the arguments and fights in the entire school. Dumbledore wants to avoid that. My mom calls, letting me know it's time to get ready to go. Maybe I'll make some new friends, some who don't just think of me as 'Percy's younger brother' or 'the twin's younger brother'. Everyone knows Fred and George. They are the biggest prank pullers in the school. I get out of bed to go to Hogwarts.
