I followed the path, with the wand in my hand. As I ran, my clothes began to change. My t-shirt and jeans changed into a white shirt and a grey skirt. My sweatshirt changed into a long black robe. I ignored it even though it messed with my running.
When I reached the end of the path, I saw a ladder leading into an opening in the ceiling. I climbed out and found myself in an empty hall with suits of armor along the walls.
In the distance, I could hear a woman calling names. After every name, I would hear Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff. I decided to follow the voice, but I was closer than I thought. I ended up walking right into the room where the voice was coming from.
I was suddenly surrounded by a bunch of students dressed very similarly to me. "Hi," I said in a nervous tone. "Bethany Weasley, I presume?" said the woman at the podium. "Yes ma'am," I said, my whole body shaking, not out of fear, but out of amazement.
"You're late. We were expecting you to find your way here 30 minutes ago. I assume you found your wand?" she said expectantly. "Y-y-yes m-m-ma'am," I said, surprised that she was expecting me. "Well, what are you waiting for? Get up here," she ordered.
As I made my way up to the podium, I could feel everyone watching me. When I got there I had absolutely no idea what to do. So, I did the logical thing. I waited for her to tell me what to do. She seemed to like doing it, anyway.
"Well?" she said expectantly. I said nothing. "Oh dear lord, sit down and put on the hat!" I did as I was told. I put on the hat, and it fell over my eyes. All of a sudden, hat yelled, "GRYFFINDOR." One of the tables went into a loud uproar. I assumed that this was Gryffindor.
After the whole ceremony, which they called the Sorting, we were directed to our dorm rooms. There were people with gold badges guiding us through the halls. They told us about all the revolving stairs, and how to get to each of our houses. They also gave each of us a sheet of paper with all of the passwords from now until Christmas.
When we finally reached our house, there was a painting of an old lady on the wall. I assumed that this was the guard of the house. "Hello Miss," said the boy leading us. "Well hello Benjamin. First years?" she said to the boy. "Yes, and we have a Weasley! Anyhow, love to stay and chat, but I've got first years to show around. Now what was that password? Oh, yes, Lemon Drop.
As we were directed to their dorms, I realized that I had no belongings at all. I saw a girl about as old as the other boy who was also wearing a gold badge. "Excuse me, miss," but I was ignored. I decided to leave it be.
We arrived to our dorm and I was amazed to see a trunk sitting on the ground, with my name on it. I guess I didn't have to worry about that. There was also a bunch of books stacked on top of each other beside the trunk. I entered and sat down on one of the beds. I was feeling quite tired, so I lay down and fell asleep.
I woke in the middle of the night remembering my map. I decided to take a look at the school, see how things were going. I pulled it out of my pocket and whispered, "I solemnly swear I am up to no good." But there was something wrong. It didn't show Ghidy anymore. Now it showed Hogwarts.
I decided to roll with it. If a rubbish school like Ghidy had hidden passageways, then I figure a wizarding school will too. I looked closely and found there was a passage in this dormitory. I went ahead and took it.
I spent a while like this, just running through passages. One led to the same place I came from the night before. Soon, I came to a stop. I heard a rumbling around me. Suddenly, all the dirt in the ceilings decided to come loose and trap me.
I was stuck. I couldn't get out. I remembered the wand in my pocket but that wouldn't do much good. I didn't know any spells, and didn't even know how to use it. Even so, I pulled it out of my pocket. There was a sudden flash and I guess the wand decided to be respectful, because now there was a bunch of food in front of me. At least I'll have something to eat while I'm miserably trapped in this hole.
I finished all the food, and remembered the note on the back of the letter.
P.S.
If you get stuck, say destructo and point your wand at the block.
It was worth a try. "Destructo," I said. Nothing happened. I had no idea what to do. Then, as if on cue, the wad flashed and destroyed the blockage. I ran as fast as I could to get back to my dorm. I fell asleep once again.
During breakfast, one of the teachers started running around yelling, 'TROLL IN THE DUNGEON! TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!" "Shut it Professor," said the headmistress. "Fine," he said in a very childish tone.
"Students, calm down. I can assure you there is no troll," said the headmistress in a very worried tone. There was a loud crash that came from above. Sawdust started to come down. Then, someone decided to run. Wuss. Everyone else started to worry. There was so mush noise in there you could barely think.
I decided to do something. I walked up to the podium, turned on the mic, and said, "Guys, calm down. Who is this troll, anyway?" Suddenly as if on queue, a man who looked about 5' 6" walked in. His clothes were in shreds, and he looked like he was going to puke.
"This man isn't a troll. He's just an author of a book series. Hello Rick," I said cheerfully. "Hel-," he said stopping in the middle of the word. Then, he barfed all over the ground. "EEEWW!" said half of the entire Great Hall. "That is disgusting," I said. "Anyway why are you here, Mr. Rick," said the headmistress.
"Well," Rick began, "I was dropping my daughter off at Ghidy School at London, and was bringing her to her dorm room. I saw this young lady as she was coming down the hall, and followed her through the passage. I had nowhere to go, and I eventually found a house elf. He helped me with food and such." "What about your clothes?" I said, eager to skip potions class to hear this. "Well, I accidentally angered one of the elves, and it ripped my shirt and kicked me in the bum," he said, turning around so that we could see the dirt on his pants.
Suddenly, the headmistress spoke up, "Students, it's time for class. Everyone go to your classes, except for you Bethany. You're coming with me."
