Marauders II
Platform 9 ¾
James awoke on September 1st at 5:00 A.M. Very excited about what was going down today. And that was, He was going to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. At about 9:00 A.M. both of James's parents awoke. His mom started to cook with her wand breakfast. While his Dad but on some of his finest robes. After about an hour James's Dad said "Its about time were off don't want to miss the train on the first day do we James." "No" James said very fast trying to stuff the rest of his food into his mouth. "Do you have everything books, wand, robes…" said James's Mom "Yes Mom, Oh I almost forgot Fawkes" said James running upstairs." "Who's Fawkes?" said James's Dad thinking. "My Phoenix Dad" said James like everyone should know that.
After traveling threw floo powder they got there at 10:30. James knew everything about getting into Platform 9 ¾. Because his Dad told him, His Dad tells him everything. Then after packing everything James quickly tried to find a compartment by himself. Until he found one with Sirius in it. But Sirius wasn't the only one in there. There was also another boy. "What's your name?" said James. "Oh hello my name is Remus, Remus Lupin." "Oh hi I'm James, Sirius already knows me" said James proud of what he was saying. Then the train started going.
They started talking about how much magic they know and can do. Remus knew the most, he said he had already remembered all the course books and some other books that he had gotten at Flourish and Blotts.
Then someone came in. "Hello guys haven't you got a girlfriend yet." That was the rudest thing James had ever heard. "Hi I'm Severus Snape, and this is my girlfriend Rita Skeeter. And we both plan on being in Slytherin" said Severus proudly. "What house do you think you will get in" said Severus. "Gryffindor" said all three boys at once. "You guys are weird only dumb people like you guys are in Gryffindor." All three of them stood up at once. "If I hear one more word about Us of Gryffindor I'll" said Sirius but right then Sirius punched Severus. Severus walked out of the compartment screaming while Rita Skeeter was nursing him. "I really hope I'm not in the same house as him" said Sirius.
About 20 minutes latter they got to Hogwarts. It was the biggest castle or school James had ever seen. "Wow" they all said at once. Then they say which most have been a giant calling all first years over buy the lake. "Hello I'm Hagrid the game-keeper here at Hogwarts, And I want all the first years to come over here. James, Remus, and Sirius followed Hagrid towards the lake. "You must be James Potter" said Hagrid "Yes" said James. "Wow what a pleasure" said Hagrid.
Then they wen't into boats that took them all the way across the lake right in front of what seemed the biggest door James had ever seen. Then someone opened the door. Hello everyone I am Professor McGonagall and I will be your Transfiguration teacher at Hogwarts. She led them into what was called The Great Hall. The Biggest Hall James had ever heard. The top of the wall must have been enchanted. Because the top of the wall looked equally like outside.
Then Professor McGonagall came out You will now be sorted into your houses. Your houses will be like your homes here at Hogwarts stay. Everyone looked at each other. Wondering what they have to do to get sorted. Then they saw a three-legged stool with an old pointed hat on it. And then a mouth appeared and it started to sing.
A thousand years or more ago,
When I was newly sewn,
There lived four wizards of renown,
Whose names are still well known,
Bold Gryffindor, from wild moor,
Fair Ravenclaw, from glen,
Sweet Hufflepuff, from valley broad,
Shrewd Slythein, from fen.
They shared a wish, a hope, a dream
They hatched a daring plan
To educate young sorcerers
Thus Hogwarts School began.
Formed their own house, for each
Did value different virtues
In the ones they had to teach.
By Gryffindor, the bravest were
Prized far beyond the rest;
For Ravenclaw, the cleverest
Would always be the best;
For Hufflepuff, Hard workers were
Most worrthy of admission;
And power-hungry Slytherin
Loved those of great ambition.
While still alive they did divide
Their favorites from the throng,
Yet how to pick the worthy ones
'Twas Gryffindor who found the way
He whipped me off his head
The founders put some brains in me
So I could choose instead!
Now slip me snug about your ears,
I've never been wrong,
I'll have a look inside your mind
And tell where you belong!
Everyone looked excited. Then McGonagall said Bagman, Ludo A very tall and strong looking boy walked up put the sorting hat on and it said "Slytherin." Then McGonagall said Black, Sirius, "Gryffindor." Figg, Arabella "Ravenclaw", Lockhart, Gildeory "Hufflepuff", Lupin, Remus "Gryffindor", Pettigrew, Peter "Gryffindor"
Then it was his turn. "Potter, James." James walked up shyly, Put on the hat which fell over his ears and it said this has to be the easiest sorting I've ever done. "Gryffindor". James walked proudly over to the Gryffindor table sitting next to Sirius and Remus they all clapped hands.
Skeeter, Rita "Slytherin", Snape, Seveurs "Slytherin", Sveum, Lily "Gryffindor".
After all the first years were sorted a feast appeared on there plates. After 4 helpings of the feast. James, Sirius, and Remus walked up to there common room with the Prefects. Until they saw a portrait of what the Prefects calle The Fat Lady.
