Pooja stared around. It was amazing, just like her sisters Parvati and Padma had described it. Hogwarts, the famous school of witchcraft and wizardry, the one her sisters had talked about for so long and know she was finally getting to go to it!

Pooja stood nervously in the little huddle of silent first years as she waited for her turn to come. She had no idea what house she would be sorted into. Her sisters had been identical but still gone to different houses; Parvati had gone to Gryffindor and Padma to Ravenclaw. Her parents had also been in Ravenclaw.

"Sienna Granger" said Professor Mcgonagall at the front. A small girl with bushy hair walked up to the front. The hat only took a few seconds before it shouted, " Gryffindor!" Pooja looked towards the Gryffindor table where there was mad cheering and waving. A 6th year girl stood out. Her hair was bushy, very much like Sienna's. 'Probably sisters,' Pooja said to herself.

After what seemed like a decade Professor Mcgonagall finally called Pooja up. As she sat down her sisters both grinned at her from their different tables, each hoping that she would come to their table. Pooja felt so scared. She hated those moments when everyone looked at her and this was definitely one of those moments. Professor Mcgonagall placed the hat on her head and it fell across her face. She could hear it muttering something but couldn't quite make out what it was. She hoped she could join Ravenclaw and be like her sister Padma who she looked up to. But then she also hoped she could join Gryffindor and be with Parvati, the sister who was kind and fun to be with.

Pooja jumped as her thoughts were interrupted by the sorting hat shouting,

'Gryffindor!'

Pooja's eyes shone as she ran over to join her sister. She looked over to Padma sitting at the other table. She was clapping, but Pooja knew that she was disappointed she had not gone to Ravenclaw.

(2 weeks later)

' I know the answer sir! I do! I do! '

' God, she's such a show off!' muttered Pooja, to her new best friend Sienna.

Sienna nodded and grinned. 'Hey, do you think she'll still know the answer if I hit her with a memory loss charm? '

'But we haven't even learnt how to make things levitate let alone make people lose their memories! ' said Pooja.

' Don't worry, my cousin Hermione taught me how to do them while I was staying at her place over the summer.' Said Sienna confidently.

Pooja looked at her uncertainly but Sienna gave her a reassuring look and said, 'Obiriate!'

There was a loud bang and dust flew everywhere. Pooja got up coughing and looked around the classroom was a tip! She found Sienna and helped her up.

'I don't think you're memory loss charm thingy worked…' Pooja said smiling.

' No, but I think I've taught Irene Malfoy to shut up in class!' said Sienna. They turned to look at Irene and saw her lying on the floor with a piece of tape across her mouth and burst out laughing.

There laughter was cut short when Professor Mcgonagall appeared in front of them…
