G'day!


"Firs' Years! Firs' Years over here!" a booming voice said. "All right there, Harry?"

In the few moments of non-chaos I spotted the giant man from the bar - Hagrid - leading some of the first years away. I hurried after them.

"C'mon, follow me - any more firs' years? Mind yer step, now! Firs'-years follow me!" Hagrid said to any stragglers, including me.

Neville was sniffling and holding my hand. He reminded me so much of my little cousin. I led him down the super steep hill.

"Yeh'll get yer firs' sight o' Hogwarts in a sec," Hagrid called over his shoulder "jus' round this bend here"

"Oooh!" I said, because there was a magnificent castle with turrets and towers

The hill we were climbing down opened to a big lake, there were a bunch of little boats surrounding the shore.

"No more'n five to a boat!" Hagrid instructed us.

I went in a boat with Harry, a red haired kid, Hermione and Neville.

"Everyone in?" Shouted Hagrid.

"Right then - FORWARD!"

And all the boats moved off at once.

Everyone was staring up at the big castle.

"Heads down!" Hagrid called


We had finished our boat ride to the castle, sorry, Hogwarts.

Hagrid knocked three times on the door.

Almost at once a tall lady with her hair in a tight black bun in emerald green robes greeted Hagrid at the door.

"The firs' years, Professor McGonagall." said Hagrid.

"Thank you, Hagrid. I will take them from here." Professor McGonagall said.

She opened the door. The Entrance Hall could fit my house.

Professor McGonagall led us to a smaller room.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," Said McGonagall "The start of term banquet will begin shortly-" I kind of stopped listening after that.

I saw Harry nervously trying to flatten his hair, don't know why, it wouldn't do any good.

Some people screamed because some ghosts floated through the walls, they weren't very scary. To be honest they were really non-threatening.

Some of those people were Neville.

"Hope to see you in Hufflepuff. My old house, you know!" The fat ghost said.

I saw Draco gag.

"Move along, now." McGonagall said as she came back through the doors, "Please follow me." She said to us first-years.

We followed her though the castle, I looked up at the ceiling to avoid the people staring at me. Apparently everyone else thought this was a good idea as well, because I heard a voice whisper (Probably Hermione) "It's bewitched to look like the sky outside. I read about in Hogwarts, a History.".

We stopped in front of a stool with a ratty, dirty hat on it.

and it started to sing.

"Oh, you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find,
A smarter hat then me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can top them all.
There's nothing in your head,
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be."

"You might belong in Gryffindor,
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 folk 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!"

The hat finished and everyone clapped.

"Abbot, Hannah." McGonagall read a name off her list.

Hannah stumbled out of the crowd, she was rather pink-faced and blonde. She sat on the stool and McGonagall handed the hat for her to put on. It fell almost to her nose.

"HUFFLEPUFF!" The hat bellowed.

Hannah went to the table on the far right.

"Bones, Susan." Susan came up to the hat, she had bright red hair and some freckles.

"HUFFLEPUFF!" The hat bellowed again. She scrambled off and sat next to Hannah.

"Boot, Terry." Terry came up to the hat. He was rather tanned, with curly black hair.

He looked really smart.

"RAVENCLAW!" No surprise there.

Brocklehurst, Mandy went up to the hat next and got sorted into Ravenclaw as well.

Brown, Lavender then went to Gryffindor, and when she was chosen I heard some kids cat-calling, I looked over my shoulder and saw that they were twins.

I almost didn't hear McGonagall when she called my name, the Gryffindor table was still cheering.

Almost.

So I went up there, stomach in knots and put the hat on. It covered my eyes and I tried not to panic.

"Hello there," said a raspy voice in my ear, 'Hi' I thought "No time for chit-chat, I can see you are very brave. But, You like telling people off and can be mean sometimes, but you also want to be well liked, or popular, whatever you kids say these days. Oh, that's some cunning, that is. Which would you prefer? I personally think you would be suited for..." The small voice trailed off, I soon knew why.

"SLYTHERIN!" The hat bellowed throughout the place.

The Slytherin table burst into cheers.

I flashed a peace sign and winked at everyone. Then I ran off to the Slytherin table.

"Bulstrode, Millicent." What a name. She became a fellow Slytherin. I thought the majority of the Slytherins didn't look very friendly. The few Slytherins who were friendlier said 'hi' to me and shook my hand.

Finch-Fletchley, Justin became a Hufflepuff.

Hermione became a Gryffindor, I smiled and clapped and whooped with the rest of the tables.

Finnegan, Seamus came up to the stool before Hermione and became a Gryffindor as well.

When Neville got called up, I was just waiting anxiously. It shouted 'Gryffindor' and Neville walked off with the hat, he had to run back to give it to MacDougal, Morag.

"Draco, Malfoy." McGonagall called.

Draco swaggered (A/N: LIKE A BOSS) up to the hat and it barely touched his head when it yelled 'Slytherin'.

I can't say I wasn't annoyed.

A few more people got called. Lily Moon became a Hufflepuff, Theodore Nott became a Slytherin and so did Pansy Parkinson. Then some twins. The Patils, one became a Ravenclaw and one became a Gryffindor.

Then Sally-Anne Perks, who had brown hair and glasses, and sky-blue eyes. and it took five minutes for the sorting hat to decide which house she would be in.

She finally got sorted into Slytherin.

Then 'Zabini, Blaise.' got sorted into Slytherin.

I smiled at the them as they came to the Slytherin table. (One by one)

"Potter, Harry." McGonagall said. There were whispers around the room 'the Harry Potter?'. I kind of felt bad for him.

It took a few minutes but the sorting hat called out 'Gryffindor' and that table burst into big cheers I heard those twins chanting 'We got Potter! We got Potter!'. They would be interesting friends.

It only took a few minutes to decide the other three people, the red haired kid from earlier talking to Harry Potter was sorted into Gryffindor, his name was, apparently, Ron Weasley.


"Hello, my names Blaise. Blaise Zabini." Blaise said to me. "I'm Amelia Halman, pleased to meet you." I greeted him, we shook hands.

"I'm Sally-Anne, call me Sally." Sally said, I shook her hand too.

"Hullo, Sally." I said.

"What do you guys think of Potter?" Blaise said. We looked over our shoulders at him.

"He looks happy." I said plainly.

"Yeah, I think he does." Blaise agreed.

"Well, see you later, then." I said to Blaise as we neared the girls and boys dorms.

"Bye." He said to Sally and I.

"He seems nice." Sally said to me, once he left.

"Seems so. So, what're you doing here at Hoggy Warty Hogwarts?" I asked.

"Hoggy Warty Hogwarts?" She raised an eyebrow at me.

"Yup. Who do your parents work for?"

"My parents work at the ministry." She answered

"Cool, mine run a business in Hogsmeade. Make lots of money." I said.

"Which one?" Sally asked, sitting on the bed where her trunk was.

I was going to tell her but two other girls came into the room.

"Hi, I'm Pansy, and this is Millicent. And you are?" Pansy asked.

"Sharing this room with you." I said. Sally and Millicent giggled.

"Oh, my name, sorry," I smiled "Amelia."

And Sally told Pansy her name.

"Well, pleased to meet you." Sally said.

"We should sleep, I'm tired." I said.

Millicent nodded. Guess she didn't talk very much.

"Good idea." Pansy said.


"G'night." I said. And I got, 'Night.' 'Zzzz' and 'Zzzz'. My roomies were great.

Yay.
