AN: Yes I decided to make Catalina a Slytherin, but she is a very ambitious person and that will come out more in future chapters. Anyways hope you like this!

As I walked into the great hall he saw all the professors sitting together at the front looking at all the first years. When I looked up at the ceiling I saw the night sky and twinkling stars above me. As we all stood in a line professor McClain stood in front of us holding witches hat in her hand and started to read off names.

"Thomas McCollum" said the professor in a loud voice.

"Wish me luck" he said as went up to the hat. Professor McCollum then put the hat on his head and after a moment or two the hat screamed out "Gryffindor!" and the whole Gryffindor table started to cheer. After a couple more names the Professor called up Catalina who was then surprisingly sorted into Slytherin, although Catalina didn't seem to care, she actually looked quite pleased. Eventually I was brought up and the hat was put on me. I could feel my heart beating knowing the hat was probably reading my every thought and completely looking through my mind. After a while of holding my breath I was finally sorted into Gryffindor. 'Yes' I thought to myself, 'everyone's going to be so proud'. I then sat down with all of the other Gryffindors who were as happy as I was that I was in their house.

"Teddy isn't this awesome? We're in the same house!" said Thomas excitingly.

"Brilliant Teddy, glad you could join our house" said Brian.

After the feast was done Thomas and I walked with each other and all the other first year Gryffindors to the Gryffindor common room.

"Okay now listen," said one of the prefects named Harold McDougall, who was walking them through the corridors and up the constantly changing stairs, "to get into the common room you have to say a password to the portrait of the fat lady. The password right now is superbia. Don't tell this password to anyone unless you know they're in Gryffindor." When they reached the Fat Lady Harold said the password and she let them all in. "Now Boys dorms to the left girls to the right, your trunks should already be in your dorms."

As Harold and I ran up the stairs we saw a sign on their door:

Lupin McCollum Bartlett Pellervo

Year 1

"Lupin look we're roommates! I guess those are our other roommates' names on here too." said Thomas

As we entered the room we saw our things already set in their room just like Harold had said. As I looked around I saw red sheets on all of the beds and red and gold ties on top of our trunks along with other Gryffindor apparel. As Thomas and I were looking at their clothes our other roommates walked in.

"Hi, I'm Justin Bartlett, you must be Teddy Lupin" said Justin who had short brown hair and some small freckles just on the tops of cheeks so you could tell he had been out in the sun.

"How do you know I'm Teddy?" I asked.

"You're hair is blue right now so, I just assumed" said Justin and Teddy I realized that indeed my hair was a dark shade of blue which I quickly changed to red since it seemed more festive.

"Wotcher everyone, I'm Richard Pellervo" said Richard giving everyone a smile. Wotcher was a short little blond hair boy, with enormous vibrant blue eyes, so vibrant I wondered if the boy had the power to change his eye colour since I had never seen a boy with such a deep blue eye colour.

After we had fun getting to know each other we decided to go to bed since we all had classes the next morning.

When I woke up the next morning Thomas and I went down to the great hall to get breakfast and get our school schedules.

"Looks like we have everything together!" said Thomas.

"Well we're in the same house and the same year" I said, then I heard a familiar voice saying "Teddy, Thomas!" and I looked behind me to see Catalina running up to him and she gave us both huge hugs.

"Hey" I said.

"Oh, it's a shame we're not in the same house" said Catalina, who today decided to wear her long brunette hair up in a ponytail.

"It's okay," I replied, "look we have potions together third period!"

"Oh we do! Well at least we'll get to see each other then and we can compare notes together too!" said Catalina who now seemed happier. "Well I'm going to go back and sit with my other friends! Bye Teddy!"

"Bye!" I said back.

"It's okay, just forget me!" said Thomas.

After Breakfast I went to my first class, herbology with professor Longbottom. As Thomas and I went outside I could feel a warm summer breeze on my face and saw the sun shining bright above me. As we went to green house #1 I saw Neville Longbottom, a longtime family friend.

"Hey Teddy how are you?" said Neville.

"Good" I said.

"Great, I'm sure you'll have lots of fun in this class" said Neville to me and then turned away to speak to the whole class. "Hello everyone, welcome to your first class at Hogwarts: Herbology. Today we will start off easy and we will be working on just identifying plantes. As you can see I have set out a variety of plantes on the table, your assignment is to write down what the plant is and how you identified it. You'll want to use your text book for this."

I took out my text book and Richard and I started examine a smaller plant that had pink flowers with gold dust on them.

"So what do you think this is?" asked Richard.

"Well it has flecks of gold on the petals so I think…" I said as I quickly flipped through my text book, "aureusaestateflos" and they started to write down the name.

"So Teddy," said Richard again, "is it true you know Harry Potter?"

"Yeah he's my god father, I see him all the time."

"Has he told you any stories about happened in the war?" said Richard.

"Well not really, he's told me about my mum and dad but that's pretty much it."

"Ohh okay… have you seen his scar?!"

"Yeah, every time I see him."

"Wicked!" said Richard, but I didn't think it was that amazing.

When class ended we went to charms, then transfigurations followed by lunch and then potions class. Catalina ended up knowing the answer to all of the professor's questions and seemed very proud of it too. After potions I had defense against the dark arts, which had to be my favourite class of the day. When that class was over all of the first years and second years had a free period since we weren't allowed to take electives till third year and we decided to relax by the lake.

"What your favorite class Thomas?" I asked.

"Definitely charms, for sure" he replied.

"That because you were able to actually perform Wingardium Leviosa" said Justin who was sitting with me, Thomas and Richard.

"It's really not that hard, it's all in the swish and flick" said Thomas.

It's then that I saw a bunch of Slytherin boys picking on some poor Hufflepuff girl.

"I wonder, what it is like being the daughter of a bunch of filthy muggles?" said the boy who I could tell was the leader of their group.

"Hey knock it off!" I said since the girl looked like she was about to cry.

"And who would you be purple hair?" said the boy back.

"Teddy Lupin" I replied, "and who are you?"

"Aidan Flint" he said. Of course, what's a school experience without a bunch of pureblood snobs?

"Lupin huh? You're the god son of that Harry Potter guy? Well Teddy, stay out of my way" he said and walked away. I quickly picked up the girl's notebook that Aidan probably threw on the ground and gave it to her.

"Thank you Teddy" she said.

"You're welcome um…"

"Louella Jensen" she said.

"Well you're welcome Louella." I then walked back to my friends and sat down next to them until dinner came. After dinner I walked back up to the common room where we all did our homework in front of the fire and I decided to write a letter to Harry.

Dear Harry,

I'm so happy to tell you that I got sorted into Gryffindor! I was so thrilled when the hat finally made that decision. I'm also having a great time in all of my classes. I personally like defense against the dark arts the best, it's definitely the most interesting of all the classes. I'm getting along with all of my roommates and I've also made friends with people from other houses as well.

Love,

Teddy

P.S Do you know anyone by the last name of Flint? Just wondering

I decided to mail this letter in the morning. After about an hour more of homework my roommates and I decided to go to bed, all of us a little exhausted.

"How do all the other people with full class schedules do it?" asked Thomas. "I'm so tired."

"Thomas you didn't even do that much homework" said Justin.

"I had the same amount of homework as all of you!"

"Yeah but I did your potions homework, and Justin wrote your half sheet of parchment assignment for transfigurations class and herbology; all you did was charms" said Richard.

"Yeah because that's the only interesting class" said Thomas.

After a bit more of agreeing about the amount of homework Thomas actually did we all decided to go to sleep, it had been a long day.
