~Arrivals~
It has been a month since Alex and her friend had received their letters. They had decided together that they would go to Hogwarts. Now our story zooms to a very pleasant September evening as our friends step off of the Hogwarts express.
"God this is almost unreal" Alex said as she struggled with her trunk.
"Tell me about it" replied Christine, who helped Alex with the trunk.
"All first years over 'ere!" shouted a gigantic man, who then Alex and Christine immediately realized was Hagrid.
"Um, I guess we just go with Hagrid then" said Christine.
The boat ride to Hogwarts was as it said in Rowling's first book. As the entire silent first years gazed upon the massive castle with amazed eyes, Christine and Alex broke the silence with "Oh my gods".
After the boat ride Alex and Christine scurried up to Hagrid.
"'Ello! You two look awful tall to be first years"
"We're not first years, it seemed that we got ours late. We're the two new fifth years," replied Alex.
Heh, I'm a fifth year…I'm a Hogwarts fifth year... Sheesh what are my friends back home gonna think of that.
The group, led by Hagrid, walk up the staircase to the closed doors of the Great Hall.
"Now ya'll just wait 'ere till McGonagall gets you," said Hagrid as he departed to the Great Hall to be seated with the other professors.
"Wait, Christine"
"Ya?"
"What if we're not sorted in the same houses?"
"Ahh! I can't imagine if I was sorted in Slytherin…"
"Oh you won't you're too… I dunno I know for us it's probably between Gryffindor or Ravenclaw… maybe Hufflepuff… nah not…" Alex was cut off by a quick silence. McGonagall had entered.
"Hello and welcome to Hogwarts. In a few moments you will pass through these doors and join your classmates." Announced McGonagall.
"Hey Christine," whispered Alex. "Do you really think that behind those doors, there's gonna be all of the characters in the Harry Potter books?"
"Alex, we've seen McGonagall, Hagrid, and Hogwarts itself! I bet you any money everyone's in there".
Then McGonagall opened the immense doors that led to the Great Hall.
"Well here goes nothing," sighed Alex as she and Christine marched in the back of the first years down the aisle.
Christine was right when she said that everyone was there. Alex felt excited and nervous at the same time, trying to stay cool with all eyes on her.
Oh look, there's the twins, oooo Ron, Hermione and Harry…Oh and there's Malfoy, and…
The cluster had finally reached the front of the hall, with in front of them placed a stool with the Sorting Hat.
One by one the first years slowly sauntered to the hat and was later guided to their house table. Finally once all of the first years had gone Christine and Alex were left standing there.
In the middle of the table in which the professors sat stood none other than Albus Dumbledore. Everyone looked at him as he spoke.
"And now, we have two new fifth years…" he spoke gracefully as he gestured to McGonagall.
"Alright…Au-Yeung, Christine."
Christine shot a scared look at Alex as she slowly placed the hat on her ebony hair.
"Well well well… It's about time Hogwarts had an American student…Very studious indeed…has a somewhat sense of humor…she'd do perfect in RAVENCLAW!!
The seated Ravenclaws applauded as Christine took an empty seat.
Ok ok Ravenclaw, not too shabby Christine…Oh gawd...
"Congi, Alexandra" announced McGonagall.
Here we go…
Alex walked up to the stool, sat down, and placed the hat on her head.
"Another American I see… very energetic, yes…humorous, yet I see you have a courageous side also…"
I do?
"Yes of course you do! And quite the short tempered kind."
Hey! I'm having an argument with a talking hat… I thought I would never see the day…
"Enough of this nonsense! You'll do fine in GRYFFINDOR!!" exclaimed the hat.
Woohoo!!
Alex walked toward the clapping Gryffindors and ignoring the varying "boos" from the Slytherin table.
"Hello, welcome to Hogwarts... and Gryffindor. My name is Hermione Granger".
"Hi, I'm Alex"
Alex searched over to the Ravenclaw table to catch Christine's eye. Christine saw her, gave her thumbs up, and continued her conversation with Cho Chang.
Alex then felt something brush her back. No actually it was three things. She looked up to face Draco Malfoy, who was accompanied by Crabbe and Goyle.
"Great, another mudblood Gryffindor at Hogwarts. You don't belong here."
"Shut it Malfoy," yelled Ron who was sitting next to Hermione.
"See you later mudblood" snickered Malfoy as he left with his two stooges.
What a dick...
"Ignore him" assured Hermione.
…
Before I knew it I was in my four-poster bed, tired from the day's events. And then I thought to myself.
Cool.
