HI WORLD! Sorry this update took a while, school started and then it was my birthday. For my birthday we actually got to go to Disney World! So any who, here's chapter 2!
As soon as we stepped out of the train, we heard Hagrid yelling "Firs' Years! Firs' years over here please! Firs' Years!" The four of us went to through the crowd to get to Hagrid. "Hello Hagrid!" I said.
"Hello Rosie Posie. How's your mum 'n dad?"
"There great. I'd like you to meet Scorpius."
"Scorpius! As in Scorpius Malfoy? Does your dad approve?"
"I don't know and I don't care," without saying bye I stormed off to one of the boats. In a couple of seconds I saw Al, Alice, and Scorpius coming up to the boats and sitting down with me.
Al saw my face so he didn't bother me. All of a sudden the boats started moving and we were off. In less than two minutes Hogwarts lit up the sky. It was the most beautiful place I had ever seen. Every person in every boat was in awe. By the time we had taken in some of the beauty, we were at the castle.
I AM A LINEBREAK
All of us first years lined up in the great hall. One of the professors welcomed us in and started calling names. "Candi Alacorn" "Ravenclaw!" The Ravenclaw table started cheering. I started to zone out by the third name because I was so nervous. I snapped out of it when I heard, "Alice Longbottom!" Alice slowly walked up and sat on the stool. The hat sat on her for less than 5 seconds and yelled, "Hufflepuff!" The Hufflepuff table cheered. Next was Scorpius. He was shaking while he walked up. The hat sat on his head for a little bit and yelled, "Slytherin!"
He slowly got up of the stool and walked to the table. After a couple other names were called, Albus went up and the hall fell quiet. He sat on the stool and closed his eyes. In a couple of seconds the hat yelled, "Slytherin!" The great hall suddenly became even quieter. I could only hear breathing. Albus got up smiling and went to go sit with Scorpius, who was also smiling. James, who was sitting with his fellow Gryffindor, looked like he was about to kill someone. The only reason why he didn't kill anyone was because Professor McGonagall was glaring at him.
I was in shock until I heard my name. The shock was replaced with a nervousness everyone else was now feeling. Was there going to be another Weasley-Potter child upset, or was it just Albus? I walked up to the stool and sat down while the hat was put on my head. "Oh, another Weasley! I remember sorting your father. I liked him. But enough about him, what about you? You seem very loyal, but not the Hufflepuff type. From what I see you can be very loud but braveness isn't always your strong point," the hat said in my mind. "Excuse you, I can be plenty brave if I want to. I just have so many older cousin to protect me that I just don't have a chance to be brave!" "Ah, well you also seem very determined. But Slytherin doesn't seem right either. There is one other house though that values determination. I shall put you in…" "Ravenclaw!" apparently he yelled that bit out.
All of a sudden, a great sense of relief washed over me. I heard the Ravenclaws cheering and walked over to them. The sorting came to an end after the last first years. Professor McGonagall stood up and said, "Welcome back! Before the feast begins I would like to make a few announcements. Firstly, I would like to remind everyone that the forbidden forest is still forbidden. Also, Mr. Filch has an extended list of banned items hanging outside his office. Enough said, let the feast begin!"
All of a sudden plates popped up on the tables filled with food. I started scooping things on to my plate. Once I filled my stomach to the max I realized I hadn't really talked to the other Ravenclaws. The only other Ravenclaws I knew were Roxy, Molly, and Lucy who were all in different years. I looked around the table and realized I had sat next to some of the first years. Mustering up all the courage I could, I decided to talk to them.
"Hi, I'm Rose Weasley! What's your name?" I said to the girl next to me.
"Um, hi. I'm Jamie Lexington. This is my twin brother Jackson."
"Cool! Nice to meet you. How do you like Hogwarts so far?"
"It's really pretty. My brother and I didn't know we were magic until two months ago. I think you guys have a term for it, muggleborns right? Anyway as soon as I heard I read a lot about it. My favorite book I read was Hogwarts: A History. Have you read it before?"
"Oh yes. It's my mum's favorite. I almost have it memorized, I have read it that many times." For some reason we both found this both funny. While talking Candi Alacorn also joined in the conversation. After a little I excused myself to go say hi to Al.
I walked over to the Slytherin table and sat down next to Al. "What are you doing sitting here?"
"I'm sorry, I wanted to say hi to you. If you want me to leave I will. But, I wanted to see how you fit in with the rest of the Slytherins."
"Scorpius and I are fine. Are you allowed to sit here?"
"Well now I am." I was going to say more when I heard the Ravenclaw prefect yelling for all the first years to come up. "Bye. I'll see you in the morning. Don't forget to send an owl to your parents. They'll want to know what house you got."
The two prefects, one of them being my cousin Lucy, brought us up to the Ravenclaw tower. Lucy knocked on the entrance and the question was asked. All the other first years looked a little confused. Thankfully I had asked my older cousins about all of the four houses. Some of them like James and Fred tried to scare me by saying to get sorted you had to battle a dragon. But then Teddy, who had graduated from Hogwarts a while ago, came and told me about the hat.
"What is the beginning of eternity and the end of time and space? The beginning of every and the end of every place?"
Lucy gave a little thought and said, "the letter e."
The door opened into the common room. Lucy showed us our dorms and we all picked our beds. It was only Candi, Jamie, me and two other girls named Josie and Anna in our dorm. After talking for a little we decided we should get to bed since we do have the first day of classes tomorrow. I didn't feel to tired but as soon as my head hit the pillow, I was out.
So that is it. I don't know when I will be able to update next but it will definitely be in the next month. But for now favorite, follow and review!
