The Gryffindor and the Sytherin
One by one the names were called, Hanna Abbot was in Hufflepuff, Susan Bones was in Hufflepuff, Terry Boot was in Ravenclaw, Mandy Brocklehurst was in Ravenclaw, Lavender brown was the first Gryffindor, Millicent Bulstrode was the first Sytherin, Justin Finch-Fletchley was in Hufflepuff, Hermione was in Gryffindor, Neville Longbottom was in Gryffindor, the list went on and on till they got to Malfoy, he of course was in Sytherin. Harry was put into Gryffindor and so was some Patil girl, but her twin got into Ravenclaw. Thomas Dean was put into Gryffindor and Ron made Gryffindor.
Then my name was called. I walked slowly up the steps and sat down. "An intelligent mind, a good fair heart, a big heart, and the courage of a lion, but is there some cunning in that mix, I think so. So where to put you Weasley? I'd have to say… GRYFFINDOR!" I breathed a sigh of relief as I sat down next to Ron and Hermione and across from Harry. I high-fived Fred and George and Percy gave me a thumb up before regaining his cool exterior. Percy may look calm and collected but I remember when he made prefect, me and him jumped around his room dancing for 5 minutes! I love all my brothers for different reasons, but Percy always the brother I go to for advice. Fred and George are the ones I got to when I want to laugh or feel better, and I just always go to Ron anyways because were twins!
Dumbledore stood up and said "welcome, welcome to Hogwarts. Before we begin our feast I would like to say a few words, and hear they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thank you" and then he sat down. Harry looked freaked out and whispered to me "is he a bit mad" I laughed and said "he's a genius, but yes he is a bit mad. Potatoes harry?" I filled my plate and started eating. I was so hungry, I could eat a dragon! While I was finishing eating I felt a cold stare on me. I turned around to see Malfoy staring at me, no wait glaring. 'What a stupid git! Thinks he's so special because his daddy's rich. Blah! Stupid good for nothing spoiled rich kid'.
I glared back and then turned back towards the table that was now filled with deserts. I took a chocolate éclair and started talking to Hermione about her parents. "My dad's really interested in muggle's you know. What are they like? His dream is to be able to explain how an airplane works and how it stays suspended in the air" Hermione goes on to tell me about contraptions like a phone, that apparently people talk on and send things called texts" I pondered a bit and then asked her "why don't they just use owls?" she shrugs and goes bake to eating her apple pie. I turn to Ron and Harry who were talking to nearly headless nick. I sighed and turned back to Hermione who was talking to Percy about lessons.
I turned back to see Dumbledore rising and then we sang the school song. Then the food disappeared and we headed off to our common rooms. Percy, since he's the Gryffindor prefect, led us until we got to the portrait of a fat lady in a pretty, pink, silky dress. "Password?" she asked. "Caput Draconis" The portrait swung open to reveal the Gryffindor common room. Percy directed the first year girls to our dorm room and we trudged off. Me and Hermione chose beds by each other and sat up whispering until 11 when she decided we needed to head to bed so that we wouldn't be tired for lessons. I rolled my eyes but obeyed never less, tomorrow was going to be a long day.
