Parvati and Padma Patil sat in a carriage on the Hogwarts Express. They were more than excited about their first year at Hogwarts. They happily sat and talked while eating sweets from the Food Trolley.
"Can I have that card?" Parvati asked pointing towards a chocolate frog card that Padma had.
"Sure," Padma said. Parvati had collected chocolate frog trading cards for years but Padma never had.
Soon, they had reached the school and were able to get off the train. They followed Hagrid over to the boats.
"Wow!" Padma said.
"Isn't it so beautiful?" Parvati said.
"It is!" They had to get into boats so the two of them got into one together along with another girl who introduced herself as Lavender Brown.
It wasn't too long before they got to the school where they climbed out of their boats. They entered the building and were instructed to wait in a certain hall while they were setting up for the sorting.
"Which house do you two think you'll be in?" Lavender asked. "I'm pretty sure I'll be in Gryffindor."
"I hope I'll be in Gryffindor with you," Parvati said. "Wouldn't that be nice?"
"Yeah." Lavender said. "What about you, Padma?" Padma shrugged. Soon, it was the sorting and they all entered the hall. One by one, the students would go up and put on the hat which shouted out which house they would be in.
Lavender was one of the first people to go up and the house shouted fairly quickly, Gryffindor. Many people continued to go and soon it was Padma's turn. She put the hat on and after a little while, it shouted out Ravenclaw.
Parvati was next and a bit sad. She had really wanted to go with lavender but now her sister was in Ravenclaw so that was where she would be sorted. She put the hat on and almost immediately it called out Gryffindor. She looked between the two houses sadly. For the first time in a long time, she would be separated from her sister.
