Chapter 10
Monica
The train stopped just as she woke up. She turned to Alex, who had a look full of pity and sympathy on her face. Monica got up and kicked her then said "Don't." Alex looked confused, Monica bent down and whispered "Don't look at me with pity or sympathy. I won't have it. I refuse to have people look at me like that." she didn't wait for a response instead she got up and opened the door, then got her suitcase and walked out. Alex just sat there with her mouth open.
When Monica got off the train she looked for Hagrid. When she saw a giant shadow she knew it was him. She walked up to him and asked "Are you Professor Hagrid?"
He smiled. "Sure am. You might want to cover her ears." she quickly did and he yelled "ALL FIRST YEARS COME THIS WAY!"
Then she uncovered her ears and asked "Will I be able to see Headmistress McGonagal before I'm sorted?"
He looked at her questioningly."That depends on who you are."
Monica smiled."Names Monica Elfrida Billitha." his face was full of understanding.
He replied with a shrug "Since that's the case, yes, you'll see her before you get sorted."
Monica smiled. "Thank you." then all of the first years went on boats to the school. When they got there, there was a man standing at the docks waiting for them. He had short dark brown hair, and brown eyes. This man reminded Monica of someone, but she couldn't place who... that was until Alex ran up to him and yelled "DADDY!" Monica put her head in her hand and sighed then walked up to the professor and Alex.
"Excuse me, but I have to see headmistress McGonagal." she said interupting the Family moment.
The Professor smiled at her and said "I'll guess you're Monica?"
"Yep." she answered shortly. Alex went to say something, but Monica looked at her and said swiftly "Shut up Alex."
The man looked like he was about to laugh then. "Let me get the rest of the students upstairs, then you can go, Alright?" he asked.
"Okay." Monica sighed. He then lead everyone to the great hall, had them line up in backwards alphabetical order, so Monica was the last person in the line. The teacher walked over to a woman with glasses and brown hair, that had a few white strands in it. He whispered something to her and she got up immediately. Then walked over to the line and looked over all of the new students. When she got to the Weasley's she sighed and kept going.
When she got to Monica she quickly walked over to her and said in a quite voice "go through that door and there's your robes, come see me after you get settled in." she pointed to a door directly behind Monica. She quickly turned and went in the door. There she found a stool with a robe on it. As she dressed she could hear something singing. She quickly got dressed then came back out and stood in her spot. By the time she got out the singing had stopped.
Then McGonagal started speaking above the students "Students!" all quieted down and she continued "Thank you. First we'll get on with our new students." a man that had slick white-blond hair, pale skin, and gray eyes stood up. She handed him a rolled up peace of parchment. He took it and went closer to the new students behind a stool with a large hat on it. He picked up the hat by it's tip then read from the scroll "Louis Weasley," and so the Sortings had begun.
