Chapter 3: The Sorting Hat

As the train halted we arrived at the train station right outside of Hogwarts. A giant known as Hagrid was waiting to take us to the school. He took us to a lake and we got into boats; I was in a boat with Pansy and Brown. Dray was in a boat with Crabbe and Goyle. Pansy was very pissed because Blasie was in a boat with Cho and Lovegood. As we entered the school we trudged up a grand staircase and there was a lady at the topmost floor. She went into the Great Hall and told us she would return in a bit and to wait along the stairs.

"So the rumor on the trains true then. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts." Dray announced staring at him. "This is Crabbe, Goyle, and I'm Malfoy Draco Malfoy."

The Wesley snickered and I couldn't help but shout "Draco means dragon so therefore he should be feared." I made sure I blended into the crowd but Draco Pansy and Blasie knew for sure who I was by my voice.

McGonagall came back and took us into the Great Hall. We stopped at the bottom of some stage. "before you are sorted Dumbledore would like to say a few words."

"I have a few start of term notices I wish to announce. The first years please note that the dark forest is strictly forbidden to all students. Also, our caretaker, Mr. Filch has asked me to remind you that the 3rd floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death. Thank you."

McGonagall then stated "When I call your name, you will come forth, I shall place the sorting hat on your head, and you will be sorted into your houses. Hermione Parkinson."

I took a deep breath and walked up to the sorting hat and waited. "SLYTHERIN!" It yelled and I smirked.

I saw the boys from the station whispering to each other. I walked past them and joined the Slytherin table. Later I was joined by Pansy, Blasie, Crabbe, Goyle, and Draco. The two boys and Lavender joined the Gryffindor.

Ooooooo

"So the rumor on the trains true then. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts." I announced staring at him. "This is Crabbe, Goyle, and I'm Malfoy Draco Malfoy."

The Wesley snickered and a fragile voice shouts "Draco means dragon so therefore he should be feared." Knowing show this was I just smirked and then I was tapped on the shoulder by the old lady.

We stopped at the bottom of some stage. "before you are sorted Dumbledore would like to say a few words."

"I have a few starts of term notices I wish to announce. The first years please note that the dark forest is strictly forbidden to all students. Also, our caretaker, Mr. Filch has asked me to remind you that the 3rd floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death. Thank you."

McGonagall then stated "When I call your name, you will come forth, I shall place the sorting hat on your head, and you will be sorted into your houses. Hermione Parkinson."

"See told you Draco." Blasie stated as I walked past him to the sorting hat.

"Slytherin!" of course I'd be in the best house ever both my parents were in this house. Even though I hated my father no one knows that. Blasie and Pansy joined us as well as Crabbe and Goyle then it became silent as he went for sorting.

"Harry Potter!" McGonagall stated. We all waited impatiently. "Gryffindor!" the hat yelled and the stupid mudbloods and half-bloods yelled joyfully. After the sorting was done we had a grand feast.

"Hey Mya who is that staring at you?" I heard Crabbe as Mya and I notice the Weasly named Ron staring at her.

"That's Ronald he is a Weasly he is one the boys who made her cry. Hey Mya, can we talk later?"

"Sure Dray" she replied smiling at me.
