A/N: Hey guys! Sorry there's always so much time between chapters (I have excuses, but you probably don't want to hear them). And thanks to Scorpia Firess and ReadingAndLovingIT for reviewing every chapter! Reviews make me so happy (hint, hint)!
It's not as long, sorry :(
Disclaimer: I own nothing!
Cass: What about me? You made such a big deal out of telling us you owned us last chapter.
Me: Right but-
Carter: And me?
Me: Jeez, okay I own you guys!
Cass: So you own us and not Jianna?
Me: I never said that!
Jianna: Well, not to be rude, but you sort of implied it.
Me: OKAY! I OWN NOTHING EXCEPT CASS, CARTER AND JIANNA! NOTHING ELSE!
Carter: What about the plot?
Me: I just died. You guys just killed me.
Carter: Can I have your laptop if you died?
Cass: Can I have all your books?
Me: *facepalm* Can we just start the story?
Carter: Then start! You're the writer!
Cass POV
We could see the quidditch pitch from the window in our compartment, but not the school. Hugo had described quidditch to us (A/N: because I'm lazy and don't want to type out a whole explanation), but I didn't think I'd play. It would be more fun to watch.
When the train finally stopped and everybody got off, I heard a voice yelling, "Firs' years! Firs' years over here!"
I walked over and there stood the tallest man I've ever seen. He was sort of intimidating.
"No more 'an four to a boat!" he shouted loud enough for everyone to hear.
Carter and I ended up in a boat with Lily and Hugo. The boat rocked the whole way, which made me a little seasick.
Right when I thought I would throw up, someone shouted, "Look! I can see the school!"
Hogwarts was gigantic. It looked like a giant medieval castle. I really hoped I wouldn't get lost.
When we got off the boats and went into the castle, the tall man led us to a hallway where a stern looking woman who introduced herself as Professor McGonagall greeted us.
"Welcome to Hogwarts," said Professor McGonagall, "The start-of-term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the great hall, you will be sorted into your houses. The Sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts. You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory, and spend free time in your house common room. The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each house has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your house points, while any rule-breaking will lose house points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup, a great honor. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours. The Sorting Ceremony will take place in a few minutes in front of the school. I suggest you all smarten yourselves up as much as you can while you are waiting. I shall return when we are ready for you. Please wait quietly." She disappeared into a set of double doors I hadn't noticed were behind her.
As we waited, almost everybody was whispering about what they had to do for the sorting. Everyone except me, that is.
I was thinking about my disadvantage to the other students. Everyone else grew up around magic, but I was new. That was why I had read and reread the spellbooks and textbooks enough times that I was pretty sure I had everything memorized. I needed to show them that even though my parents were muggles, I was still as capable.
At that time, Professor McGonagall came back and gestured us into the great hall. It was set up with four long tables that I guessed were for the houses and a table for the teachers at the end. In front of the teachers' table there was a stool with a patched hat on it. After a few moments, the hat sang a song describing the houses and clarifying that all we had to do for the sorting was try it on.
Professor McGonagall began to call out names. I listened even though I didn't know anyone. Then came the moment I had been waiting for. "Jamison, Carter" she called. My twin brother stepped up and sat on the stool. It seemed like forever before the sorting hat actually sorted him.
Sorry (kind of) about the cliffhanger, but not enough people have voted for Cass and Carter's houses. Remember, you can vote through the comments or on the poll on my profile (thanks to Cy-Crystal).
Review please! It means a lot!
I have a knock knock joke for you guys:
Voldemort: Knock knock.
Lily Potter (Harry's mom, not his daughter): Who's there?
Voldemort: You know.
Lily: You know who?
Voldemort: Exactly!
