Musa stepped of the train. Then she saw a really tall man yelling,"First years with me."
Rose said that it was Hagrid, the Care of magical creatures teacher, and a great friend of her mum and dad's. Hagrid soon came over to them. Albus took the opportunity to give him a letter. Afterwards they walked a while, and they came to a lake. On the lake there were lots of boats. And you could see a shining castle standing in the distance. The look was absolutely beautiful. Musa then realised how big Hogwarts was. She had always thought Hogwarts to be like every other school. But it wasn't. They stepped into a small boat. And it started to move without any rowing. Everything was amazing.
When they arrived on land, they were so close to the castle. Soon they were inside it. A very stern looking woman came towards them.
"Good afternoon first years. I am Professor McGonagall, head teacher of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Soon you will be sorted into your houses,"she said.
The doors opened and a very big hall was in front of them. There seamed to be no ceiling as it was bewitched to look like the sky outside. She knew from Hogwarts: a history. The group of first years made their way up. Professor McGonagall was reading out names to be put under the sorting hat. Musa was kind of anxious, she had heard from Rose that you wouldn't want to be put into Slytherin, because lots of bad people had been in there. She really hoped she would be in the same house as Rose, she found her nice, and hoped they could become friends.
Next it was Albus's turn, he was a Potter and everyone thought he would go to Gryffindor but nearly as soon as the hat touched his head, he was placed in Slytherin. Everyone gasped. A Potter in Slytherin. It was weird. Even the muggle borne were not believing it.
Then McGonagall said "Winter, Musa" and it was her turn.
Above her head, she could hear murmuring "Enough ambition to get into Slytherin, enough brains to get into Ravenclaw, loyal enough to get into Hufflepuff, and brave enough to get into GRYFFINDOR." The hat shouted the last word.
So she joined the Gryffindor table where Rose was already sitting. Soon the great feast started. You could find everything you could possibly want on the tables. Everything. The food wasn't very different from food with her Mum, speaking of her, she did miss her. She had just been away from her half a day, but it felt so weird. In school, her mum was her teacher so she had never been away from her even half a day... Then she knew what would make her feel better: music. She took her headphones out and put them on. Rose didn't mind much. They were still talking, Rose had told Musa so much about the wizarding world by the end of the feast that she was bursting of knowledge, she almost felt like she was a half-blood.
