A/N: I still only own Elya, Oliver, Scarlett and her raven.
"Bloody 'ell!" exclaimed Ron as they approached Hogwarts, Harry was stunned, his mouth wide open and his eyes like saucers. Scarlett was just speechless; she stared at the castle, and then groaned, 'Totally going to get lost' she thought and then remembered how her mother described the Potions Professor as a 'dark man who is very secretive, and very, very cold-hearted.' She put her head in her hands and the boats finally reached their destination. Everyone climbed out and stared up at the castle,
"Crickey!" a squeak from behind them came, Hermione Granger. Hermione placed her hand on Scarlett's shoulder and she flinched slightly,
"Sorry." Hermione murmured and Scarlett shook her head,
"My fault." She giggled causing Hermione to smile, 'I'm bloody stupid, calm down Scarlett.' She thought frowning, they we're entering Hogwarts now, walking through the corridors, all the first years footsteps echoing and a few gasps as paintings on the walls would move,
"Well if it isn't the famous Harry Potter!" a voice shouted at the front, Draco. Scarlett stepped forward,
"Shove off Malfoy before you regret it." Scarlett threatened,
Draco and his minions smirked, then he extended his hand out for Harry to shake "I will make sure you get all the fame you deserve"
Harry stood with his hands firmly at his sides, "No thanks." He sneered and Draco gave him a look of disgust before they we're interrupted,
"Hello, First Years, and welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Said a female voice and Hermione moved closer to Scarlett.
"Professor McGonagall. I read all about the Professor's in 'Hogwarts: A History'" Hermione whispered to Scarlett, Hermione was shaking a little, obviously nervous.
"TREVOR!" a shout came from behind them, and a boy ran forward to grab his toad, he looked up at Professor McGonagall and flinched,
"Sorry." He quickly whispered and stood back again, Minerva cleared her throat and continued speaking,
"When we enter the Great Hall, you will wait and be called up to be Sorted." She smiled a little and led everyone in.
"Draco Malfoy." Professor McGonagall announced and he smirked as he patted his friend on the back, Draco sat on the stall and instantly was sorted
"SLYTHERIN!" the sorting hat boomed, all of Slytherin cheered and Draco scurried off to his table,
"Ronald Weasley." Minerva announced, Scarlett had to shove Ron up because he was quite nervous, he had his eyes closed, when finally,
"GRYFFINDOR!" Ron was very happy about his house and they all cheered for him and high fived George and Fred,
"Hermione Granger." Was announced and Hermione took a few breaths in and out while walking up,
"GRYFFINDOR!" all of Gryffindor cheered, Scarlett smiled as they all welcomed Hermione,
"Harry Potter." Minerva announced and the whole of the Great Hall went silent, a few gasps could be heard, Harry walked up and sat on the stool, after about five minutes the hat finally sorted him,
"GRYFFINDOR!" the hat shouted, all of Gryffindor stood up and cheered including Ron and Hermione,
"Scarlett Lawton." Was announced, Scarlett gasped and walked forward to sit on the stool,
"Ah, Miss Lawton, I remember sorting your mother. It was a hard choice, now where to put you, you could be good in Slytherin, but equally as good in all the other houses... Hmm, hard decision, I have made my decision." The sorting hat whispered to her,
"GRYFFINDOR!" the hat practically yelled, she was very pleased she would be with Hermione, Harry and Ron.
"Welcome to the Gryffindor common room!" the prefect smiled, saying the secret word 'Lioness' the portrait swung open and they all stepped inside, it was beautiful, lots of red colours, red couches in front of a roaring fire, a little study corner and spiralling stairs up to the dorms, "Curfew is 8pm." The prefect added; Scarlett was sure he was a Weasley, but she couldn't be sure.
"It's amazing." Whispered Hermione, Ron and Harry nodded in agreement. Scarlett frowned, staring at the fireplace,
"Scarlett!" Harry shouted waving his hand in front of her face, "You were staring at the fireplace for several minutes, you know!" Scarlett smiled at Harry and shrugged,
"D'ya knows when lunch is? I'm starving!" Ron exclaimed rubbing his stomach for effect, Scarlett and Hermione giggled and Harry frowned,
"You can't seriously be hungry after the amount of sweets we all had on the train!" Harry exclaimed throwing his hands in the air then putting them on his hips, one eyebrow raised as he glared at Ron,
"I'm always hungry." Ron smirked causing Scarlett to go into a giggle fit.
Harry and Ron also started giggling, but at the sight of Scarlett's red face from laughing so much. Hermione was already on the couch reading a book.
"Want to go for a wander?" Scarlett whispered to Ron and Harry, they both nodded instantly with mischievous smiles on their face.
They stepped out of the common room and walked the corridors for a long time somehow they ended up on the Quidditch pitch, Scarlett ran into the team rooms, Ron and Harry following with raised eyebrows.
"Alohamora" Scarlett whispered, she had heard her mom making this spell hundreds of times and her mother had taught her just before she got to school, Harry and Ron stood back confused as to what she was doing, she opened the door.
'Bingo! The broom cupboard!' she threw a broom to both Ron and Harry, she had one herself and she marched out of the team room and sat on the broom.
Harry and Ron stood by the team room doors and watched amazed at what she was about to do,
"You can't do this, Scarlett. It's against the rules!" Harry squeaked, obviously worried about Scarlett.
"I know. That's why I'm doing it!" she smiled kicking off the ground, she soared high, too high.
"I feel free." She spoke in a dreamy voice,
'Crikey! No! Scarlett go back down! You're going to die! Scarlett!' she told herself but she didn't stop, instead she found herself going higher and higher.
She couldn't even see the pitch anymore. She felt tears escape her eyes; surely she was going to die now. She couldn't even control what she was doing!
Suddenly the broom jerked upwards, making Scarlett fly off backwards. She screamed so much she felt like her lungs were about to burst, she could make out the Quidditch pitch now.
She could see Harry and Ron, they we're on broomsticks too!
"HAAAAAARRRRYYY!" she managed to scream before complete darkness covered her like a blanket.
