First Year-The Sorting
Friday 26th September 15:36 Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The three pairs of footsteps as their feet hit the floor, echoed off the school walls just as their voices did. The three girls sung together.
"So tell your boyfriend, that if he says he's got beef, that I'm a vegetarian and I ain't fucking scared of him! She likes to touch me, ooh! She'll never-"
"Wait!" The blond haired girl stopped suddenly and the other two did as well, skidding to a halt. The scarily short, brown haired one actually tumbled to the ground. However, this was not unusual.
After the general peals of laughter subsided, the black haired pre-teen piped up. "And you stopped us why, Livvy?"
"Well," the one called Olivia Spring began, "I spotted a door back there which I'd never seen before. We skipped right past it of course. I was actually wondering if Skulduggery's head was in there. It seems like the appropriate place."
The brown haired girl nodded in agreement, needing not add to the accusation. The black haired one-Otherwise known as Meghan Colvin-rolled her eyes.
"Well what are we doing standing here?!" she asked eyebrows raised. She turned to "sprint" back the way they came, the brunette-Rowan Madden- and Olivia soon catching up.
They swiftly stopped in front the strange door. It was unlike any of the many others in the building. It was made of a rich dark brown wood, curved at the top with a peculiar, well-designed handle that had many intricate designs on it.
However, I shouldn't really be describing how the door looks, I should be describing what inside it, and so on we go!
All three reached for the door at once but Rowan managed to battle the two eager hands away. She grasped it and closed her eyes at once. "I reveal the power inside you!" She said in a creepy voice as she slung open the pretty door.
Three gasps issued at once and why I hear you ask? Well, not because of what extraordinary things the room occupied but because the three girls were letting out their gasps of disappointment.
It was a normal room, everything painted white, occupying nothing but three wooden trunks up against the other wall beside what seemed like a door. Nothing special this time. There were also a few shelves on the walls but that's not too important.
"Hey! These have our names on them!" Meghan suddenly exclaimed, rushing forward and over to where the trunks stood. She leant down, careful not to tread on her long, long school skirt and yanked open the regular sized wooden box that had her name carved into it.
"Ahhh, a Tardis!" Rowan said, rubbing her hands together as she glanced over Meghan's shoulder and into the trunk, which was larger in the inside than the outside. Livvy joined and peered into the box.
There was a small pile of clothes, a wooden stick on top, a cage covered with an old piece of cloth and a couple of brown paper packages. Light twittering was heard and Meghan immediately pulled off the cloth that covered the brass cage.
Three gasps were issued once again and Livvy reached forward to unclasp the lock. Meghan reached forward and took out the little ball of black fluff-An owl that was twittering and wriggling crazily.
"I love her all ready!" Meghan called, happily.
"Whatcha gonna call her?" Rowan asked, falling to her knees beside her own trunk.
"Draco."
"It's a girl, you prick!" Livvy laughed.
"Fine! Druna it is then."
"Pffft…I would've called it Severus..."
Livvy giggled and started opening her trunk and curiously but cautiously peering in.
"Ack! It's an Albatross in a cage!" Livvy screamed, all trace of laughter gone from her face as she took in the huge bird, sitting casually on its perch, almost staring back at her defiantly.
"Jeez! It's huge." Rowan murmured, peering at it. "I wonder what awesome animal I have!"
She hastily opened the trunk, a huge grin on her pale face but it disappeared too.
"Why the hell is there a dancing crab in Tupperware in here?!" she said, astonished.
"I thought you said crap! Hahahaha! Oops, not the best time…" Meghan trailed off and went to rummage in her trunk, her owl zooming around the small room.
"Oh my fudging god! Real Hogwarts robes and uniform! For freaking real!" She screamed as she picked up the clothes.
She and Rowan were huge, obsessive Harry Potter fans, having read the books a zillion times and developing huge, life threatening, obsessive crushes on characters. Rowan had an extremely scary obsession with Snape and Meghan was completely and utterly in love with Draco.
However, Livvy was not a fan of Harry Potter, instead opting for an obsession with a Skeleton Detective called Skulduggery Pleasant. Yes, you heard that right.
"I can't believe this! And oh my blind Io! Here's a genuine wand!" Rowan called out, picking up the stick, which was in fact a genuine wand, it was Rowan wood, twelve inches and had a phoenix feather core
"I know! Mines a willow, ten and a quarter inches with a heart string core I think." Meghan said excitedly, standing up and twirling it around. It emitted a couple of red sparks.
"Awesome!" Two girls chorused at once and turned to Livvy who was still staring at the Albatross.
"Hey, Livvy! Aren't you excited?!" Rowan asked, an eyebrow raised.
"Not really but hey, whatever. If I can't learn magic from Skull-man, I guess I'll have to
Learn it at some invisible school." She said, considering it. "Meh, it sounds awesome! I'm calling my albatross Herbert by the way!"
She got up and started dancing, the other two soon joining in.

"I wonder what's behind that door." Rowan mused as she picked up the Tupperware, containing the dancing crab, which she had now named "Albert". They had stopped dancing a few minutes previous and had changed into the Hogwarts school robes and uniform.
Livvy yanked on her pointed hat and nodded, kicking the trunks out of the way. She yanked the doorknob and the door pulled open, making a slightly creaky noise. She peered through the small crack.
"Fuck yeah!" she said happily, pushing the door fully open and skipping through it.
Rowan rushed after her, leaving Meghan behind. "Guys? Guys? Dudes? You've left your trunks behind." She sad sadly and grabbed Druna who was tweeting around her head, putting her in the cage which she shoved inside her trunk along with all her other discarded belongings.
She did the same with Livvy and Rowans belongings, managing to grab all three trunks and pull them through the door, wand tucked behind her ear.
"No way! Narnia!"
All three girls now stood outside. And it was snowing, a lot. There were trees all around the edges and one old-fashioned streetlamp in the middle of it all, shining brightly and somehow directing them towards another door.
Livvy and Rowan grabbed their trunks from Meghan and all three girls rushed towards the door, skipping and singing random lyrics of 30h! 3. Behind the door was a classroom but not any old classroom-it was a Hogwarts classroom….But seriously, what more did you expect?
_____
"Colvin, Meghan."
"That's my name!" Meghan whispered loudly as her, Livvy and Rowan peered through the Great Hall door, of which contained every single Hogwarts Student and Teacher. They were standing in entrance.
"Yes, yes it is, deary." Rowan laughed and pushed the Black haired girl forward a bit, pushing her into the door.
"Owww!" She groaned from the floor and hit Rowans leg. She stumbled to her feet, took a deep breath and cautiously approached the crack in the door, pulling it even more open so she could slip in.
"Here, I'm here. Don't stress Minnie! She called out, walking quickly up the aisles of the tables to where Professor McGonagall stood with a scroll, a stool and the Sorting Hat.
"At least I missed the Sorting song." She said to all the heads turned to her. A couple of nervous chuckled aroused from the crowd.
She stepped up to the stool, held up the Sorting Hat and yanked it onto her head before McGonagall could utter a word from her pursed, tight lips.
You contain a trace of Gryffindor courage and stubbornness. A trace of Ravenclaw intelligence but you would do good in Hufflepuff…
"Slytherin, Slytherin, Slytherin.
Ahhh! A fan of Slytherin, are we? You have many traits of this house and as your hearts, desire lies here… "SLYTHERIN!"
"Yes!" She called happily and set down the beloved hat, skipping to green-clad, Slytherin table, not forgetting to wink at an unsettled Draco, waiting in line with the other First Years.
Then, Rowan and Livvy craftily managed to sneak in and join the end of the line, unnoticed by everyone but Harry Potter who Rowan stood beside in the first year line and began poking and prodding, calling him strange names...
Hmm….
_____
"Madden Rowan."
"Woot!" The girl yelled and walked up, staring at Snape who was sitting at the Teacher's table. She tripped and ungraciously fell to the ground. Blushing furiously, she jammed the hat over her unruly, Edward Cullen hair and sitting on the stool.
Incredible Ravenclaw intelligence but…"SLYTHERIN!"
"Wow! Thanks Phyllis!" Rowan said to the hat on the stool and skipped off to join her friend, who was ogling at Draco who sat six seats away from her, at the table of her chosen house.
"Montgomery, Aaron." a boy who was standing beside Olivia, itching 'down there' snapped out of his own thoughts and trudged to the hat. As soon as he put it over his huge head, it called "Hufflepuff!"
A while later McGonagall was calling down the S's.
"Spring, Olivia."
"Fuck yeah!" the blondish girl ran to the stool shoved on the hat and sprawled down.
Hmm…Ravenclaw?
"Fuck no!"
Hmm…Hufflepuff?
"Fuck no!"
Hmm…Gryffindor?
"Fuck no!"
I'm running out! Slytherin?!
"Fuck yeah!"
Humph,…fine… "Slytherin!"
"FUCK YEAH!" Livvy yelled and ran to join her mates.
Just another little while later a name was called which caught the three main characters attentions.
"Thompson, Rebecca."
"What?!" Rowan, Olivia and Meghan said eyes wide. Rebecca was a muggle friend of theirs, along with Katie Watt who was her best friend. They were also big Harry Potter fans but not as big as Rowan and Meghan.
A second later Rebecca and Katie, themselves clad in Hogwarts robes, had slipped through the Great Hall doors and hurried to the now non-existent line, keeping their heads down. The blondish brunette, Rebecca made her way up to the hat and slipped it on, blushing slightly.
"RAVENCLAW!"
She slipped off the stool and nervously made her way to the Ravenclaw table.
"And finally Watt, Katie."
The dark brown haired girl bounced up to the stool, beaming and put it on. A few seconds later, it called…
"RAVENCLAW!"
She joined her best friend happily, not at all surprised.
Professor McGonagall gathered the things and made a swift exit, incredibly bewildered. Professor Dumbledore made his way up to the podium and started the feast.
The three girls at the Slytherin table chatted happily, stuffing their faces with the wondrous food, only stopped when it had vanished a while later.
"Dammit…"
With a twinkle in his eye, Dumby-as the three girls called him-stood at the impressive podium, gave his speech and sung the Hogwarts song. Apparently…
After that was over the Grand Hall erupted, the big-nosed prefects trying to retain everyone.
Three girls skipped, arm in arm to the dungeons, happily singing.
"So tell your boyfriend, that if he says he's got beef, that I'm a vegetarian and I ain't fucking scared of him…"
