Rowling all credit from any HP material I use belongs to her not trying to make any money off of her work, all credit belongs to her and the director of any Hp movies that have passed and have yet to come)
After she left Ron asked "Who does she think she is?"
"I'm going to go find the bathroom and change" I said grabbing my uniform.
I somehow managed to find the bathroom and changed. I combed my straight, shoulder-length black hair, and pulled it into a ponytail before leaving. I walked back into our compartment and saw that Harry and Ron had changed into their school robes. We sat in silence as the train pulled to a stop. We all got off the train and saw that it was already pitch black outside with only the moon and the stars out. We were at another station, as other students got off I looked around and saw a castle in the distance.
"First years over here! First years" a familiar gruff voice called out.
I turned and saw Hagrid standing there with a lantern. Harry, Ron, and I stood in front of him and Ron gasped "Wow."
"Hello Harry, Sam" Hagrid said.
"Hello Hagrid" we replied.
"Alright this way to the boats" Hagrid called.
We followed him to a giant lake and I faintly remember Remus telling me it was the Black Lake, and home to a giant squid; though about that I wasn't sure whether to believe him or not. Two people got into each boat and I shared one with Harry. Suddenly the boats started moving, following Hagrid's boat. As we got closer we could all see the castle. I gasped in awe at its beauty. I heard Ron from next to me gasp "Wicked."
We soon reached the other side and we all got out of the boats, and followed Hagrid into the castle. As we stood in the main hall we were greeted by an old woman. She had pale skin, was skinny, and wore long green robes. She led us to a pair of large double doors, the same pair Hagrid had just disappeared through, and had us wait on the steps.
"Could wait along here please, grate. My name is Professor McGonagall, through these doors are your classrooms, but before you can your seat you must be sorted into your house. There are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Your house will be like your family, your triumphs will earn you points, any rule breaking, and you will loose points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points will win the house cup-"
"Trever" a boy near me shouted.
He went up a few steps and picked up a croaking toad. The boy was skinny, had straight short black hair with bangs that stopped at his eyebrows, he had pale skin, and blue eyes. He looked up at McGonagall nervously as she gave him a stern look.
"Sorry" he gulped moving back to his spot.
Some of the students gave small laughs.
"The feast will begin momentarily, wait here please" McGonagall said before going through the doors.
"Its true then? What they're saying on the train. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts" a blond haired boy said.
The boy was pale, skinny, had dark eyes, and blond hair that was pulled and slicked back. Once he said that people around me were gasping and whispering. The boy had a smug and cocky look about him.
"This is Crabbe *he nodded to the chubby looking boy on his right* and Goyel *indicated the tall chubby guy on his left* and I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy" the bond said standing in front of Harry.
'This was Lucius Malfoy's son' I thought.
Ron snorted trying to hold his laughter, making Draco face him.
"Think its funny do you? Red hair, and a hand-me-down robe? You must be a Weasley" he said.
"So, there is nothing wrong with hand-me-down robes" I snapped at him, for I wore them all the time.
Draco snapped his head to me and glared before saying "Don't even get me started with YOU."
He then turned back to Harry and said "As you can see you don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort *he looked at Ron and I*, I can help you there."
Draco held out his hand to Harry. Harry looked at it before saying "I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself thanks."
Draco let his hand fall and glared at him, but then McGonagall had come back and tapped him on his shoulder with a scroll. Draco looked at her before moving back in line.
"We're ready for you now, follow me" she said.
We followed her through the doors and I realized that this was the Great Hall that Remus had described to me, and he was right it was beautiful. There were four tables. As we walked down the center I saw that on the left sat the Ravenclaw's and the Gryffindor's, and on the left were the Hufflepuff's and the Slytherin's. I looked up and saw that the ceiling was the night sky. I then looked at the head table and knew that those must be the teachers. As we reached the table, before it was a stool and a hat.
"Could you all spread along here please. Now before we begin Professor Dumbledor has a few announcements" McGonagall said.
"There are a few school rules I would like to go over with you. As you all know the Forbidden Forest is forbidden to ALL students, and our caretaker Mr. Filch; has asked me to remind you that the third floor corridor is out of bounds to anyone who does not wish to die a most painful death. Thank you" Dumbledor said before sitting back in his seat.
"Now when I call your name, you will come up, and I'll place the sorting hat on your head; and your house will be determined. Hermione Granger" McGonagall called.
"Oh no, ok relax" I heard a voice from behind me.
I watched as Hermione sat on the stool and the sorting hat placed on her head.
"Mental that one, I'm telling you" I heard Ron whisper.
I rolled my eyes.
"Gryffindor" the hat, yes the HAT shouted.
The Gryffindor table cheered and greeted Hermione as she sat down at there table.
"Susan Bones" McGonagall called.
A red-head nervously walked up. I then heard someone gasp next to me. I turned and saw Harry rubbing his scar.
"Harry are you alright" I asked concerned.
"Its nothing, nothing I'm fine" he said.
"Hufflepuff" the hat shouted.
The table cheered and Susan went over.
"Samantha Lupin" McGonagall called.
I gulped nervously and went up. I sat on the stool and the hat was placed over my head. Suddenly I heard a voice in my head, but it sounded like it was right in my ear.
"Ah, so you're a Black and not a Lupin are you, well you're entire family was in Slytherin except for your mum and dad, but no I don't think you belong there. Hm, ah there, right ok I know exactly where to put you Gryffindor" the hat shouted.
The table cheered and I went over and sat next to Hermione. I did it, I was so happy I didn't get put in Slytherin.
"Draco Malfoy" McGonagall called.
Draco walked up and sat down, the hat had barley covered his head before it shouted "Slytherin!"
The Slytherin table cheered as Draco sat down.
"Ronald Weasley" McGonagall called.
I saw Ron sit on the stool and not even a minuet later the hat shouted "Gryffindor!"
Ron happily ran over and sat down across from Hermione and I.
"Harry Potter" the woman called.
Suddenly the room was filled with whispers again. The whole room was silent as Harry nervously sat on the stool. At least five minuets of anxiousness and curiosity had passed before the hat shouted "GRYFFINDOR!"
Everyone at the table stood up and cheered as Harry came over and stood next to Ron. After everyone had calmed down the sorting continued. Once all the first years were sorted McGonagall took away the stool and the hat before joining the teachers. Dumbledor stood up and said "Let the feast begin."
Suddenly rows of dishes were filled with different kinds of food, and everyone started eating.
