I do not own anyone from Harry Potter, I ownly own Elsa and all the new people except Bay and Alice, those two belong to my friend!
Getting off of the train, Elsa, James and Alice looked around in awe. The place they were in was like a village. It was so pretty in the dark with all of the light around them and the stars in the sky twinkling...
"First years, over here!" A voice rang through all the students. The three eleven year olds looked over and saw a tall man, a giant.
"Hi, Hagrid!" James said as he walked over.
"Well, Hello, James." The giant, Hagrid, said with a smile. When all the first years were there, they all walked onto the boats.
"Boats?" Elsa said in confusion. James and Alice both nodded; they both knew what was going on. Elsa felt left out; while her father was magic, he never told her anything. She hardly saw him.
"Come on." James said as he took her hand and helped her into the boat. Alice climbed in by herself after them and as soon as everyone was on, they were off!
"It's pretty!" Elsa said as she looked around.
"This is so cool!" Alice said at the same time as Elsa. The two wondered if everywhere at Hogwarts was as pretty as this. Elsa flicked her hair off of her shoulder as stared around with wide eyes.
"I can't believe your dad never told you about this." She heard James saying. She didn't react; she was too into the view. Everything was so pretty.
They sat in silence as they turned a corner and Hogwarts came into view.
"It's like a castle." Elsa and Alice said in awe.
"It is a castle." James said with a roll of his eyes. The two girls didn't react as the boats finally came to shore and everyone got off them, starting to the school. All the students followed Hagrid quietly into the school and, soon enough, he stopped and a teacher came to get them.
"Hello, I am Professor Wood. You soon will be entering the great hall, in which you will sorted to the house which best suits you. Remember, no one house is better than the other and you all are equals." He said before leading us through the doors. All the first years looked around.
There were four long tables in which everyone was sitting at. Above them were the house colours of that showed which house was at which table.
"All I know is that Slytherin is Green and Silver." Elsa whispered to James.
"The red and gold is Gryffindor, Yellow and Black is Hufflepuff, and Blue and Bronze is Ravenclaw." James explained quietly.
"My dad is up there!" Alice said happily. Elsa smiled as she saw Professor Longbottom. She had seen his picture in the Daily Profit before. She looked around the hall and noticed the students were all talking and not paying much attention to them. That was, until the lady at the front of the room cleared her throat.
The Sorting Hat sang its song; it was nothing special, just a brief history of how it became a talking hat with a few references thrown in about the four houses of Hogwarts. When it was over, the lady at the front of the room spoke. "When your name is called you will come and sit on the stool." She said. "Anna Harvy"
The girl, Anna, walked up and sat down on the stool. "RAVENCLAW!" the hat yelled, startling the three friends.
"It's very loud!" James said. Elsa nodded.
"James Potter!" James waved goodbye to his friends and went up and sat down on the stool.
"GRYFFINDOR!" it yelled before even hitting his head.
"Bay Scamander!" the hat called. A blonde boy walked up there and sat down on the stool.
"SLYTHERIN!" The hat called. The Slytherin house cheered as the boy went over.
"Everyone in Slytherin turns evil." Alice whispered to Elsa. Elsa didn't respond.
"Alice Longbottom!" Elsa whispered things of luck as Alice walked up to the front. She sat down on the stool with a happy smile on her face.
"HUFFLEPUFF!" the hat called. Alice ran over to the Hufflepuff table and Elsa clapped for her. She felt alone standing there by herself. Of course, she knew she wasn't technically by herself since there were lots of other students around, but her friends were gone.
She looked over and saw someone staring at her neck, and realized her necklace was out. The one that used to be her mothers. She quickly tucked it back into her shirt. The cool metal against her chest was shocking, but she quickly got used to it.
"Elsa Malfoy!" The place went quiet. Elsa knew not everyone would like her because of her family, even if she had no clue why.
She walked up and sat down. The hat was placed on her head.
Look what we have here, another Malfoy... the hat spoke to her, though only in her head. Elsa didn't like the feeling. You don't seem to be like the rest of your family though. You don't seem to be very sly or cunning… and you aren't very smart either. Elsa felt put out by the hat. It was very rude.
"HUFFLEPUFF!" it yelled. Elsa got up and walked over to sit beside Alice.
"Congratulations!" Alice said as she hugged her blonde friend happily. Elsa smiled and looked over at the Gryffindor table. James was sitting with a red head. He looked over and smiled at Elsa slightly.
"Will we be able to still be friends with James?" Elsa asked.
"Of course!" Alice said with a large smile.
