Disclaimer- I don't own Harry Potter or Percy Jackson, except for my OC. J. K. Rowling and Rick Riordan does, not me. (Imagine they were in the same time period as Percy Jackson). This story is also found on Wattpad. I'll try to update two chapters the scheduled day if one chapter is short. If a chapter is long, then I'm keeping it to one chapter. Reviews are welcomed!
Bianca's POV
Before we left to go with Hagrid on the boats, Saffron had decided to stop by the trolley to get some pumpkin pasties. It seems like he really likes them. I watched him stuffed them into his bag. We began to follow Hagrid to the boats. I got in a boat with Saffron and Hermione. Saffron kept staring at the water, making sure no monsters would attack us. I didn't care really. Hogwarts is pretty safe the last time I was here.
Hermione and I got along very well, talking about Hogwarts and the classes itself.
"That's a strange pretty flower in your hair," she brought up.
I touched the dead flower from Nico and smiled.
"Thanks. It may look weird to you or others, but I don't care. It's a special flower."
She smiled."It must be very special to you then." She looks off into the distance."Oh, look at that architecture!"
I remembered this castle ever since I was six. It still looked the same as before. I could see the lights coming out of the windows. I noticed the towers. I could even point out which were which rooms.
The boat ride finally ended, and we entered the castle. I walked up the stairs with Ron, Harry, Hermione, and Saffron.
We stopped in front of a lady with a green hat and robes. She was blocking the entrance to the Great Hall. I looked at her, and my face brightened. I began jumping a bit at my spot.
I get to see Dumbly! Professor McGonagall, the other teachers, and the ghosts! Ooh! I wonder who's the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher!
I began waving to Professor McGonagall, and she looked at me. She winked and then turned to everyone else.
"Welcome to Hogwarts!" She greeted."In a few moments, you'll pass through these doors and join your classmates. But before you could take your seats, you must be sorted into your Houses. The Houses are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Now, while you're here, your House will be like your family. Your triumph will earn you points, and any rule breaking, you will lose points. At the end of the year, the House with the most points is awarded the House Cup."
There was a croak beside Professor McGonagall.
"Trevor!" We heard a boy exclaim. He rushed over to pick up his toad. He stood up, staring at her."S-sorry," he apologized. We all giggled. He went back to where he stood earlier.
"The sorting ceremony will begin momentarily," she finished.
She left.
I'm finally gonna be sorted!
"It's true then," an unfamiliar voice said behind us.
We turned around, looking at a boy with blonde greasy hair.
"What they're saying on the train. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts."
Everyone began gasping and whispering. He gestured to his friends."This is Crabbe and Goyle. And I'm Malfoy." He moved closer to Harry."Draco Malfoy."
Ron snickered. I looked at the Malfoy dude.
So this is what Hagrid means by the Malfoy family...
Draco glared at Ron.
"Think my name's funny, do you? Don't think I need to ask yours. Red hair and a hand-me-down robe. You must be a Weasley."
Draco turned back to Harry.
"You'll soon find out that some wizarding families are better than others. You don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort." He glared at Ron before looking back at Harry."I can help you there." He took his hand out, asking for a handshake.
"I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself, thanks," Harry rejected.
Both Ron, Saffron, and I began snickering.
Serves that Malfoy right!
Professor McGonagall came back."We're ready for you now. Follow me."
We followed Professor McGonagall into the Great Hall.
I sighed, remembering the Great Hall. I looked up at the ceiling like the rest of the others, who were awing at the clear night sky and the floating candles. We stopped and gave our attention to Professor McGonagall.
"Now, before we begin, Professor Dumbledore would like to say a few words," she said.
Dumbly stood up.
My hands were fidgeting in excitement.
It's Dumbly!
"I have a few start-of-term notices I wish to announce. The first years, please note that the Dark Forest is strictly forbidden to all students. Also, our caretaker, Mr. Filch, has asked me to remind you that the third-floor corridor on the right-hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death. Thank you."
He sat down.
"Now, when I call your name, you will come forth. I shall place the sorting hat on your head, and you will be sorted into your houses."
She opened her scroll and looked at the list of names."Susan Bones!"
Susan came, and the sorting hat placed her in Hufflepuff.
"Saffron Clover!" He went up and sat on the stool.
It took a minute for the hat to scream which House Saffron should be sorted in."GRYFFINDOR!"
The Gryffindor table cheered.
"Hermione Granger!"
"Oh no. Ok, relax," she told herself.
I patted her back."You'll do fine," I whispered.
She smiled.
"Mental that one, I'm telling you," Ron said.
I elbowed his rib cage.
As Hermione sat on the stool, Professor McGonagall placed the sorting hat on her head.
"Ah, right then. Hmm...okay, GRYFFINDOR!" The hat yelled.
The Gryffindor table cheered. Hermione smiled and ran to the Gryffindor table.
The other students were sorted. Hufflepuffs. Ravenclaws. Gryffindors. Slytherins.
"Draco Malfoy!" Professor McGonagall calls.
When the hat touched Draco's hair, the hat immediately screamed,"SLYTHERIN!"
Wow...it barely touched his head.
"Bianca Mist!"
I skipped up to Professor McGonagall, smiling at her. I heard whispers around. I sat down on the stool.
"Oh, my sister says that that girl has been here before!" Someone hissed.
"Yeah! It was rumored that she was related to Dumbledore!" Another person gossiped.
"She doesn't even look like him!"
"How did she even get in the castle then at that age?"
I ignored the whispers in the Great Hall, waiting for Professor McGonagall to place the Sorting Hat on me.
"Glad to see you back here, Bianca," she whispered, smiling.
I smiled back at her."I missed you all so much!"
She finally placed the Sorting Hat on me.
"Hm...I can see so much bravery and a lot of cleverness. Oh, loyalty and ambition. Determination...Hmm...very difficult to put you...Oh, what is this? Power? Hm...I think you would fit in...GRYFFINDOR!"
My jaw dropped. Molly and Mr. Weasley are gonna be so proud! If Ginny and Ron get into Gryffindor too, then we'll all be Gryffindors!
There was cheering and clapping coming from the Gryffindor table.
Professor McGonagall took off the hat from my head. She patted my back."Congratulations, Bianca."
I smiled back. I turned to see Dumbly's reaction.
I was also in the House where Professor McGonagall and Dumbly were in!
His twinkling eyes smiled at me. My face brightened more.
I ran off to sit beside Hermione and Saffron and across from Fred and George. They all congratulated me, giving me high fives.
Ron was put into Gryffindor like all of his family members, now it all left with Harry. The Sorting Hat took a long time with Harry. It was either Slytherin or Gryffindor for him. After a couple of minutes, Harry was finally placed in Gryffindor.
The sorting ended, and we could finally eat.
I was about to eat, but Saffron nudged me. I looked at him."What is it?"
He pointed over to where a man with purple robes and turban hat was staring at me but looked away. My scar on my wrist was burning, and I winced. I began itching it.
"He keeps staring at you. I think...he's a monster."
Soon, the burning went away. I chuckled, pulling my fingers away from my scar."That's impossible. Maybe he was looking at you. Probably because your tail is sticking out." Immediately, Saffron turned around, looking at his butt.
So gullible...
He faced me."You liar."
I laughed at him.
"You nearly gave me a heart attack." I stuck my tongue out at him and ate.
Dinner was finally over. I wanted to go chat with the teachers, but we had to be sent off to our common rooms.
We followed Percy, who was leading us to the Gryffindor common room. We stopped at the Fat Lady's portrait."Password?"
"Caput Draconis," Percy answered. The portrait opened, and we entered."Welcome to the Gryffindor common room."He gestures at the dormitories."Boy's dormitories are upstairs and down to your left. Girls on the same on your right. You'll find all your belongings have already been brought up."
"Night, Saffron," I wished, waving him a goodnight.
"Scream or yell if any monsters come."
I made a face.
"Come on, on my first day here?"
"You may never know~"
I laughed.
We went our separate ways.
Hermione and I climbed up the stairs to our dormitories. We shared a bunk bed together. I slept on the top, and she slept on the bottom.
"Today was awesome, right Bianca?" She whispered below.
I sighed, stretching my arms."Yeah..."
She yawned."Let's go to sleep. We're getting our class schedules tomorrow."
I shook my head, even though she couldn't see me.
"I can't sleep. I'm too hyper," I giggled, squirming on my bed.
"Well, I'm going to sleep. Goodnight."
"Goodnight," I whispered back.
Despite the thrill and excitement within me, I fell asleep.
