I stood in between George and Fred outside the commons as we were to all enter soon and we had met a boy named Lee who was nice. Professor Moganoglle came out of the Great Halls and led us in, to say the great hall was large was an understatement. I stood inbetween the twins as Moganoglle began to call names of first years and they were sorted in between the four houses. As my name was approaching I grew nervous and George sent me a smile from his seat in Gryffindor as did Fred.
"Kathrin Black." It grew incredibly quiet and I walked over to the stool, Professor Dumbledore's gaze on me the entire time. Professor Moganoglle placed the hat on my head and it spoke.
"Hmmm how interesting, you seem to be fit for any house...perhaps Slytherin?" I mumbled almost under my breath.
"Not Slytherin..."
"Not Slytherin aye, hmmm are you sure?" I nodded ever slightly and the hat called out.
"GRYFFINDOR." It remained silent for a moment before George and Fred began applauding and the teachers joined in. Moganoglle removed the hat from my head and I walked over to the table for Gryffindor and took a seat next to Fred receiving a large smile. The rest of the sorting finished and I watched amused as the two shoveled food down there throats. I smiled at them as they talked happily to anyone.
Once the feast had ended we were led to our dormitories, we arrived and when I entered my own with the two girls I was sharing with I saw our things had already arrived. I took my things and put them away, my trunk at the foot of my bed, and my owl Ara near the other owls of the other two girls. The girls were talking amongst themselves and I grabbed a piece of parchment and a quil. I began to write,
Dear Nymphie,
how is my dear cousin doing? It feels like forever ago that we had spoken, I am attending Hogwarts now. Tonight was the sorting you shall never believe what house I was placed in, Gryffindor. How is your mother, send my love to her. I must speak with her in person soon, until then wish me luck here.
I wonder how Hogwarts will be, I have managed to make two friends so far Fred and George Weasley. I am sure when the Malfoys discover my placement I will very well be disowned, oh well I suppose as a Lestrange I would not care if I was to be disowned same goes for a Malfoy. Anyhow please write soon as well send my greeting to Uncle Remus, and the others.
With much love,
Kathrin
