Ron, Harry and I was ushered forward into the boats waiting on the lake. I was in the boat with a brown hair chubby boy and a small dark skinned boy and Harry and Ron was in the boat with two girls that looked alike.
I was sitting there thinking to myself I hope I don't get sick. I'd never been on a boat before. A few minutes later the boat started moving.
I looked around looking for the twins. I figure that they were already at the school. I watched as we got closer to the castle, it was something I had never seen before.
The windows was lit up with candles the stars hanging about the castle in the night sky. "whats your name?" The boy with the chubby cheeks said to me.
"Hermione Granger, you?" I said turning around to him. "Neville Longbottom and this is Dean Thomas" he said point toward the boy sitting beside him.
I nodded my head at them and turned back around to face the front.
Shortly after I turned around we hit the barge, I got slowly out of the boat so I wouldnt fall. After I got out the boat Neville got out behind and almost tripped and fell but he quickly recovered himself.
I walked up to the stairs leading up to the castle and waited for everyone to meet up. Hagrid was standing at the top when I got to there, he waited until all the first years got to the stairs and then he started talking
"welcome to Hogwarts. Now if you will follow me" he said and turned around and started walking. All the students quickly pushed forward to keep up with the giant.
A set stairs led up to the castle I looked around and seen that there was vines growing up the castle walls; Neville keep up beside me.
I stayed to myself as we walked up the stairs but I heard some mumblings from what would possibly be my classmates, "Did you hear that Harry Potter..." I tuned the rest of what the girl was saying at.
I knew that Harry would be the talk of the school before soon. We walked a few more flight of stairs and into a courtyard. In front of us was a big set of doors. Hagrid pushed open the door and held it open until all the student was in.
We came to a stop at the next door and watched as a lady with a pointy hat slipped out the door quietly and gracefully. She waited until everyone was quite and the spoke.
"welcome to Hogwarts! My name is Proffeser McGonall, now in just few minutes we will call you and you will be sorted into your houes. There are hufflepuff, slytherin, ravenclaw and Gryffindor..." She said and then I heard a croaking sound.
"Trevor!" Neville yelled and quickly darted out to grab what looks like a frog. The professor looked at him and he quickly backed back into the crowd with the frog in hand.
"Now wait here and ill be right back" she said and walked back into the door.
"So word on the train is harry potter has come to Hogwarts" said a boy with blond hair and grey eyes and he quickly slipped up to the top of the stairs where Harry and Ron was standing at.
"Draco Malfoy. I can help you out with telling which people not to hang out with" he said sticking his hand harry to shake. Ron snorted when he heard Draco's name.
"Think my name is funny?" He asked, "no to ask you yours. Hand me down robes and red hair? You must be a weasley." Malfoy said to Ron. Proffeser McGonall came up behind malfoy and taped him on the shoulder and draco quickly fell back into the crowd. "we are ready for you now" she said and turned and pushed open the door; We followed right behind her.
I fell into line with a girl who was looking up at the ceiling ,"It's bewitched. I read about it in Hogwarts:a history" I said to her.
We stopped at the bottom of the stairs in the great hall."when I call your name please come up here" the Proffeser said.
"susan bones" she said and the girl beside walked up the stairs and sat down on the chair. Proffeser mcgonall put the hat on her head two minutes after she put the hat on her head the hat said ravenclaw.
The next name out of her mouth was my own. I slowly walked up the stairs and sat down on the stool. She put the hat on my head and back up. The hat was talking to md but I wasn't paying attention, I was looking around the great hall looking for familiar faces.
I spotted the twins and Percy siting at one table then I tuned back into what the hat was saying. "gryffindor!" The hat said. I got up off the stool and went to sit down with my housemates.
"welcome to gryffindor, Hermione" Lee said.
"Thanks Lee" I told him and went back to paying attention to the sorting.
Ravenclaw gained two more students, hufflepuff gained three and slytherin gain three and Gryffindor gained five.
A/n: two things; one I don't have a beta reader as I'm writing this story on my phone and two I have major spelling issues so bare with me on the spelling
