After we arrived at Hogwarts, we went to get on the boats. James, Remus, Peter, Sirius, and I got in one, and to my surprise the boat was rowing its self. We arrived at the castle and we were lead to this extravagant hall, by this very stern looking witch.
"First years," she said in this non-amused tone," "My name is Professor McGonagall, welcome to Hogwarts, when the doors open you will follow in a line and wait for your name to be called; when your name is called you will walk up to the stool where I will be waiting to place the sorting hat on your head, the sorting hat will decide which house you belong in. There are four available houses: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff. When you are sorted you will make your way down to your allotted houses table, ok we are ready," she added with something that i assume was supposed to look like a smile.
As I the doors opened I heard the people around me gasp. Wow, this is so big; I hope that I'm in the same house as the boys. We walked through the center of the hallway and I heard the first name being called
"Andrew, AAron" was the first name called. The little boy who went up looked like he was going to be sick, he was called into Hufflepuff. The names continued.
When we started on B's I got nervous.
"Black, Sirius," McGonagall called.
As the sorting hat touched his head it called out "Gryffindor" and the table furthest to the left busted out is applause, and as he was walking to the table he winked at me. A few more names later I heard McGonagall call my name. As I walked up there my nerves got to me, I set down and felt the hat on my head, it called out "Gryffindor" and I made my way down to sit beside Sirius. When the sorting was done, my entire grope of friend's had made it in to Gryffindor. Then this old man with waist length white hair and a beard to match, stood and introduced himself and the teachers. Then food appeared after he was done talking. There was all kinds of food, some I didn't even know the names of. I think I'm going to like it here. Then we followed an older kid (probably a 7th year) to our common room. Before going to bed I told the boys goodnight and that I would see them in the morning, they told me the same thing.
When in my dorm I unpacked and made friends with this redheaded girl. She was very nice and we stayed up late talking. Wow, first day and I already have five friends, impressive. After that I fell into a deep dark sleep.
