Voldy-who?
I decided what house tom is going to be in so thank you if you polled! Well, here it is chapter 3! Btw the sorting is going to be in a different order so tom gets sorted last
"Granger, Hermione." I rubbed Hermiones back comfortingly and she smiled at me before muttering to herself, we all sent her encouraging looks. She straightened her shoulders and walked up to the hat on the stool. She put it on her head, after about a minute of silence the hat yelled "Gryffindor!" Hermiones face split into a huge smile and she skipped happily over to the Gryffindor table where she waved at me. After Hannah Abbott and Terry boot had been sorted, it was Harrys turn. Ron and I gave him a thumbs up and he put the hat on his head, we were stood for about three minutes and then the hat yelled "Gryffindor!" harrys face looked really relieved. I would need to find out later. Ron then walked up, looking quite calm. I remembered him saying on the train all of his family had been sorted into Gryffindor, he had nothing to worry about. The hat hardly touched his head before it yelled "Gryffindor!" then it was my turn. I walked up to the stool and put the hat on an annoying voice echoed in my head. "Oh yes I see, you're the same but different. You are not who you were before and you could change. I want to give you a choice which house?" I was confused I did not understand what he meant. Nevertheless, I wanted to be with my friends so I said. "Gryffindor please." But before I'd finished the hat yelled out. "Gryffindor!" and I ran off to the table.

After we had finished our meal, Dumbledore stood up and gave us a speech. He introduced our new DADA professor and warned us away from the forbidden forest and the third floor corridor. Then he sent us off to bed. We followed Rons' older brother, Percy up to the Gryffindor common rooms and after saying good night to Hermione climbed up our dorm staircases. The next day we all went down to the great hall for breakfast and were greeted by professor McGonagall who gave us our timetables. We had transfiguration first! I was really excited and me and Hermione spent all the time from breakfast to first lesson discussing what we thought we were going to do. It turned out we were making matchsticks into needles! After 40 minutes, Hermione and I had our matchsticks transfigured so I helped Harry and Ron with theirs.

The rest of the week was quite uneventful. We managed to get lost and told off by Filch when we tried to break into the third floor corridor, and were then late for class. The only other class I thought was recognisable was potions for Harry's sake, our professor must have something against him because he asked him three questions that we were not even asked to revise! Thankfully me and harry had studied a bit before we came and so we knew what we were doing. He answered all three correctly and Professor Snape actually does not hate him or me as much now. On Friday morning, Harry got a letter requesting him to go and see Hagrid after lunch. So we walked down to Hagrid hut after Ron had finished stuffing his face and we told Hagrid about our week, Hagrid also had a huge dog called fluffy but he turned out to be just as soft as him. Harry told hagrid that vault 713 had been broken into but the vault had already been emptied. He asked hagrid if he knew anything but Hagrid kept feigning deafness until we dropped the subject. Later on that weekend we found out that flying lessons would be on the following Wednesday, we were excited but also upset because we had it with the slytherins who we got off to a rough start with. ~~O~~O~~O~~O~~O~~O~~O~~O~~O~~O~~O~~O~~O~~O~~O~~O~~O~~O~~O~~O~~O~~O~~O~~O~~
We walked onto Hogwarts grounds, saw two lines of broomsticks, and stood opposite the slytherins we glared at Malfoy. Who thinks he is so much than us. When he found out we were going to hand out with 'blood traitors' (Ron) instead of a 'pureblood traditionalist' (Malfoy) meaning we were shunned and bullied by him. However, when you are best friends with the boy who defeated the dark lord you do not really need to worry about being unpopular. A woman with hawk like yellow eyes and grey flyaway hair walked between the two lines of broomsticks. Where she almost yelled, "Good afternoon, class." And we all replied, "Good afternoon, Madam Hooch." She then yelled, "Well, what are you waiting for? Stand on the left side of your broom and say 'up' in a clear voice, understood?" I stood on the left side of my broom and shared a nervous glance with harry, we'd heard earlier from Rons brothers that the school brooms were terrible and did nasty things on occasion, before yelling "up" in my clearest and most commanding voice and to my surprise and many others it came straight up. Harrys came up about the same time as mine. Hermione was having some problems with getting hers to come up and Ron took about three attempts. Me, Harry and Ron were thrilled when Madame hooch told Malfoy he'd been doing it wrong for years. We then were told to mount our brooms and hover a few feet off the ground and then come back down Madame hooch yelled "one, two thr…" but before she got to three Neville pushed off the ground, scared of being left behind and then couldn't get him broom back under control. In the end, he fell off and had to be moved to the infirmary. We were warned that if any of us flew our broom we would be expelled. However, Malfoy decided that he was going to steal Neville's Remembrall and so harry challenged him and flew up after him. After some yelling in the air Draco threw the ball up into the air and then dove towards the ground while harry turned into a exceptional dive and caught the ball before straightening out about three feet above the ground. Then, "Potter, in all my life… follow me!" McGonagall was standing there looking angry and took Harry off. I am worried about him; I hope he will be okay…
