(( The song in this chapter is the sorting hats song from 1991 ))
We were in the boats still, after what seemed like hours we finally were nearing the school. I was in awe as I looked at Hogwarts, it was huge and beautiful!
How am I going to get around this place?
We neared the dock, without me even noticing I was the last one to get off, because I wasn't paying attention, luckily Hagrid said something or I would have stared probably for hours.
"First Years this way!" A boy said.
I followed even though technically I wasn't a first year.
"Hello students I'm Professor McGonagall, head of Gryffindor, we will be walking into the great hall" she gestured to the door behind her, "in a few minutes.
Professor McGonagall walked over to me, "And who might you be?"
"Oh..uhh..I'm new I'm the student from Durmstrang"
"Oh. So you need to get sorted too?"
Obviously.
"Yeah.." I said
"Ok first years! Lets go into the great hall their ready for us now."
I walked in with numerous other first years and I looked around and saw everyone but the person I wanted to see. Justin.
"Hello, all newcomers, I'm Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, and right now we will begin the sorting." he pulled out a hat and sat it on a stool.
The hat started to sing.
Oh you may not think me pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be. ,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
if you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folks use any means
To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!
All the first years were in awe. After a few minutes of "Gryffindor! Slytherin! Hufflepuff! Ravenclaw! it was finally over" I of course was last I'd rather not be last but Oh well
"Callie Manah!" he looked surprised when he read that..I didn't want everyone to think I was from a rich family, and very important family. I'm not snobbish. (I think that I was swapped at birth) I'm nothing like my family, there all snobbish and "above" everyone, I'm not like that. I walked up a little nervous, I sat down and he put the hat on my head.
"Very tough. Difficult. I could put you in any house."
"Put me where my destiny is" I thought to myself.
"Your destiny, eh?" the hat said. "Better be...SLYTHERIN!"
I was a little relieved, I looked over at Morgan she looked a little upset, she really wanted me to be in her house. Oh well, I guess. I went to the Slytherin table, I saw the boy that was there when we got off the boats, he waved at me and I went to sit beside him.
"Hey" he said.
"Uh Hi."
"I'm Brendon"
Oh wow. I didn't realize how much alike him and Justin were until I think about it, this obviously is his brother
"So your Justins brother?"
"Yeah, you met him?"
"Yeah he was the first person I met when I got on the train." I frowned, "you wouldn't happen to know where he is?, would you?"
"I really don't know," he said.
"Oh-" I was interrupted by Dumbledore
"Let the feast. Begin!"
Food suddenly appeared on all the plates
Wow.
I wasn't very hungry, so I didn't eat. But Brendon did. He must have been starved.
Half way through the dinner, Justin joined us.
"Hey Callie!" He said.
"Hey," I smiled.
"I'm glad your in Slytherin!"
"Yeah me too." I looked at him again. "Where were you?"
"Oh. Its not important, I was just talking with someone is all."
After the dinner I followed Justin to the common room, it was freezing in the dungeons! We went up to the door
"Password?" The portrait asked.
"Brendon do you remember what it is?" Justin asked.
"I didn't memorize it yet I thought you knew!" They turned to me. "Callie do you have any idea what it is?"
"Uhh I'm not sure." they frowned "But I think it might be prestigious"
"Correct!" The portrait said
"Nice one Callie!" Justin said, smiling.
We stepped through the portrait and it was still cold..
"Uhh guys..whys it so cold in here?"
"Its always been like this I really have no clue" Brendon said.
I yawned. "I'm so tired. Maybe I should go to bed.."
"Yeah go ahead." Justin said.
I went throught the door to the girls dorm, and went up the staris I walked in and there were a few girls just chatting.
"That Justin is so-" The girl who was talking looked at me.
"Hmm your name is Callie Manah, is it not?"
"Uhh yeah. How did you know."
"Well duh! Your part of one of the most richest families in the wizarding world!"
"Oh. Actually its not that great being rich.."
"Oh by the way my name is Heather!"
"Hi Heather."
"Being rich is awesome though why don't you like it?"
"Yeah really!" another girl said. The other two girls left
"Its just a plague for me really, people always think I'm like above and snobbish and stuff, which I'm really not" I frowned, "Its gets real annoying at times."
"Sometimes it is for me, sometimes I think "who are my real friends' you know?" Heather said.
