When we arrived at the castle, I was in sheer awe. I couldn't find words to explain how I felt. Harry, Ron and Ginny stood beside me, feeling the exact same way.

"Pinch me." I mumbled to them. Ron walked to my side and pinched me hard on the arm. "Ouch!" I squeaked, rubbing my arm tenderly. "I didn't mean it literally." I grumbled, glaring at him.

Ginny laughed. "You better get used to it. Ron is a twat when it comes to stuff like that." She said, earning a thump on the back of the head off Ron.

"Hey! You can't hit a girl!" I said, laughing at Ron. "It's okay. I'm used to it. I have six older brothers, including this twat." Ginny said, rubbing her head.

Harry and I both gasped. We stared at Ron and Ginny, our mouths hanging open. "Six?!" I said, blinking. "Wanna give me one?" I asked jokingly. "I'll give you Ron for a chocolate Frog." Ginny joked.

We arrived at the castle and stood outside the Great Hall waiting for Professor McGonagall to bring us in to be sorted into out houses. I hoped I was sorted into Gryffindor. My parents and Remus were in that house.

When our time came to be brought in, I was a nervous wreck. I saw Remus sitting at the teachers table and calmed a bit. He smiled warmly at me and gave me a thumbs up.

Names were called out in alphabetically order, finally my name was called out. "Kearns, Kellie!" McGonagall called out. I walked nervously up to the hat. Whispers echoed around me.

The hat was mumbling loudly in my ear.

Oh, Look who we have here, Miss Kearns. Family ties in both Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. Bravery, smart and heroic all in the head of one little first year. This is hard. Where to put you. Ravenclaw would be wise. I know where to put you.

Suddenly all I could here was "GRYFFINDOR!" I sighed in relief. That house was supposed to be for the brave and courageous.

I made my way down to the table where my fellow house mates were cheering me on. I sat down in between some boys who had bright red hair. They were twins. I leaned over to them and whisper. "Are you Fred and George? Ginny and Ron's brothers?" The boys looked at me and smiled. "Why yes we are."

Many more names were called out until finally Ginny was called. "Weasley, Ginevra" McGonagall called out. I noticed Ginny scowling at her name, I laughed softly. The hat wasn't on Gin's head long, and she was sorted in Gryffindor too.

Ron was up next and he too was sorted into Gryffindor. Ginny and Ron sat next to George. I looked around for Harry and spotted him fidgeting nervously. I was about to laugh when his name was called out. Whispers were heard echoing around the hall.

When the hat was placed on his head everything went quiet. I turned to Ginny. "Why is everyone so quiet?" I asked curiously. "That's Harry Potter. The boy-who-lived!" She whispered to me. I stared at her confused. I was going to asked Remus about that later.

"Oh. Okay." I said quietly. The boy who lived? Wonder how he got that. While I was lost in my thoughts, the hat shouted out that Harry was going to be a Gryffindor too!

Shouts erupted through out the halls. Fred and Georges the loudest. "WE GOT HARRY POTTER!" I laughed at the shouts and a shy Harry sitting next to me. "Harry, you look scared." I said frowning. "The hat wasn't that scary." Harry looked at me and shrugged. "I guess, I was just shocked at the shouts. I know you got whispers and stuff, but the building nearly caved in with those two." Harry said pointing to Fred and George who were laughing at the Slytherins.

Professor Dumbledore said a few words before the food appeared on the table. I gasped loudly, so did Harry. Ron , Ginny and the others around us laughed heartedly. "Are you a muggle born Kellie?" Fred asked me, after swallowing some potatoes. I shook my head. "No, pureblood. Well that's what Remus and my Dad said on the way here." I said putting some peas on my plate.

Fred frowned. "So you must know about the food and everything at Hogwarts? You looked shocked when the food appeared." He said grinning.

I shook my head. "I haven't a clue what Hogwarts is like. I only found out about this world the other day. I grew up like a muggle, totally oblivious to this place." I said biting my lip.

Fred raised his eyebrow. "That's some story considering your mother was a great Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, smart witch too." He said shrugging. Then George butted in. "You dad was too. Chaser on Ravenclaw team. Smart man too." He said grinning at my confused expression.

"Oh, well, I was going to ask Remus about it later." I said smiling at Fred and Georges grinning faces. "Oh yeah, your good, old Lupins godchild." They said in unison. I nodded.

"Yep." I said grinning. Fred and George turned back to their friends and I began eating my dinner and talking animatedly with Ginny and the others.

"So Kellie, tell me about yourself." Harry said quietly with a small smile. Ginny and Ron looked at me too.

"Well, I'm an only child. I sing. You could say it's my passion, next to dancing and playing Camogie." I said smiling.

Ginny looked at me and grinned. "You sing! What do you sing?" She asked, she actually seemed interested.

"Err, anything really. I've taken to singing anything I'm able to." I smiled softly at her, a small blush on my cheeks.

"And you dance?" Ron said this time. "Wow. That's cool. What type?" He asked shoving some food in his mouth.

"Ballroom and hip-hop. I joined a summer course to keep me occupied. I hope to go back during the summer again." I grinning at him. Harry smiled at me. His green eyes twinkling.

"You must have been quite popular in school." he said to me. I shrugged. It was true, I was. But I didn't want to tell them. I was infact, really quite shy. Camogie helped me express myself. Singing did to.

I opened my mouth to speak when a boy came over to us. He smiled at me. "Hello." He said in a strong, Irish accent. "I'm Seamus Finnigan." He said holding out his hand. I shook is softly. "Kellie Kearns." My accent strong too, compared to Ron, Harry and Ginny's anyway.

"Nice to meet you Kellie. You must be the other Irish student here." He said grinning. "What gave it away?" I asked. "When you mentioned Camogie." He said laughing softly at Ron, Harry and Ginny's confused faces. I laughed softly.

"What's Cam-og-ie" Ron asked. "It's Camogie." I corrected. "And it's an Irish sport. The female game to hurling. You hit a ball with a hurl. I'll show you my hurl and sliothar when we get to the common room."

I said to the three of them. They nodded and turned back to Seamus who was speaking again. "You brought your gear? Are you on a team?" He asked me excitedly.

I nodded eagerly. "Yeah. Mum told me I should leave it but there was no way I was leaving my stuff behind. I'm going out later tomorrow after classes to hit it around." I said grinning. "Yeah, I'm on the local team. I would have been on the county team if I had of stayed in Ireland though." I said with a small sigh.

"Do you play?" I asked looking at him, my eyes twinkling. He nodded quickly. "Yeah. I have my stuff with me too!" He said happily. "I was on the county team. Had to quit to come here though, but I'll be joining back onto the local during the summer." He said. "Maybe we could play one on one tomorrow?" He asked hopefully.

"Sure. I'd love to. It's great to here there's someone here who knows about Irish sport and stuff." I said kindly.

Seamus walked away and I turned back to the others. "Guys. I'm a bit tired. I'm going to run up to the common room if I can find it." I said quietly. Just as I stood up and went to walk I collided with someone. Fred grabbed my waste to stop me from falling back down and another set of hands held my shoulders. I looked up to see some boy standing in front of me.

Fred released my waist and I thanked him for not letting me fall before turning back to the boy. "Hello." I said quietly. "Hello. I overheard you saying you were going back to the common room. I'm heading back there too if you want me to show you there." He said kindly.

He has jet black hair that he had spiked up with gel. His skin was tanned and has soft, electric blue eyes.

"That would be nice." I said thankful. I turned back to my friends to say goodbye when I saw Ginny staring at him with wide eyes. I said a quick goodbye and looked up at the staff table. I noticed Remus wasn't there and frowned.

I turned back to the boy and we began walking out of the hall. We were quiet for a while, it was rather uncomfortable. Think Kellie. What to say. I thought quickly. "I'm Kellie by the way." I said shyly.

"I'm Adam. Adam Oaken." He said politly. "So what year are you in Adam?" I asked trying to start a conversation. "Fourth year." He replied. "I must look like a right child to you." I said looking up at him. He was quite tall.

"What year are you in? Third?" He asked me. "Cause you certainly don't look like a baby." He said firmly. "I-I'm actually a first year." I said quietly.

"First? Wow. You look like a third year. Your quiet tall for your age, you know that." He said quickly.

"I get it off my mum and dad." I said laughing slightly. Both my parents were tall.

We soon arrived at Gryffindor tower and Adam gave the password. I almost jumped out of my skin when the woman in the portrait started talking. "I-Ugh...She moves? And Talks?" I stuttered, staring at her with my head tilted.

"Must be a first year." The fat lady mumbled. "Of course I move and talk. All of the portraits do." She said kindly. "Well best be in. It's probably cold out here." She said and I walked in.

The common room was warm and inviting. I stood just inside taking it all in. "This is so cool." I said quietly, looking around in awe. It was red, for Gryffindor.

Adam walked over to the sofa and sat down in front of the fire. I stood staring around. "Erm, I'm going to go up to bed." I said quickly, a small yawn escaping my lips.

Adam nodded to me with a small smile. "Okay. Goodnight Kellie." He said softly. "The dorm should be just up there to your left, First Year, will be on the door." he told me and I climbed the stairs. Walking through the door that that said first years.

I smiled when I saw my stuff on a bed and Mittens was asleep there too. The was a bowl of milk on the bed for her too.

I quickly changed into my pyjamas. They were black silk shorts and tank top with pink trimming. I moved mittens carefully and put her milk on the locker and got into bed. Soon I was fast asleep…

[Okay. This was long and extremely crap. Sorry. Review with ideas on what'll happen next.]
