"Yes!" Lily exclaimed

"Really?" Malfoy said in disbelief

"Of course I feel the same way"

"Here" Malfoy handed Lily his family ring (A/N it's a ring that is used for stamping important documents and when it was given out it meant that the other person held someone's heart in that family ....did that make sense? Oh well)

"Thanks, but I better be going, Hagrid seems to be really anxious to leave and considering the fact that I'm a first year and still standing here it might be good for me to leave"

"Bye, lovely lily"

"Bye Lucius"

"Hey Lily!" Sirius called from a boat, "over here we saved you a seat"

"You didn't just do that Sirius" Remus said in disbelief

"Oh give it a rest Re, you just don't like her because you know she's going to go after one of us and not you" James spoke up as he watched Lily walk over to the boat

"Both of you are full of yourselves" Sirius said

"Hey Sirius, James, Remus, thanks for saving me a seat, I took so long I didn't know if any would be open" Lily laughed

"Well we figured that might happen, we saw you talking to that guy over there and we thought if we didn't save you a seat you might be left on the shore"

"First years ready?" Hagrid called above the noise, multiple yes, and yeas followed this "Then off we go, remember to watch your head on low branches!"

"OMG! Guys look at the castle!" Lily exclaimed pointing in the direction of the castle!"

"It is a sight isn't it?" James asked staring at Lily and not at the castle

"Hey Lily" Remus asked

"Yes?"

"What's that on your finger?"

"Oh this" she held her hand up and looked at the ring, "it belongs to my boyfriend"

"What's the family name?" Remus had recognized it as a wizard's ring

"Malfoy, why?"

"Just wondering, there aren't many that are that elaborate"

"I see"

"First years" Hagrid called again above the chatter "We'll be arriving at the front gates soon, please when we get there, follow me, and don't make to much noise. Everyone agree to behave?" once again, sounds of agreement followed this proclamation "Alright then, everyone climb out of your boats carefully and follow me." Hagrid led them up a huge set of stairs and knocked on the front door three times before a very strict woman appeared before them

"AH yes Hagrid, thank you, you may leave now." With that announcement by Professor McGonagall, Hagrid entered the castle and left behind the group of frightened first years "Well good evening everyone, my name is Professor McGonagall, if you will follow me" the first years followed the professor in silence to a type of chamber room outside of the Great Hall "I'll return for you in about five minutes, in the mean time smarten up as best you can, though I don' think I will do any of you that much good" With that she walked off

"Wow can you believe her guys? I hope we don't have her as a teacher" Lily said awestruck at how mean and strict professor McGonagall was

"I know what you mean," Sirius said from behind Lily

"Maybe its just a front, and she's really nice underneath" Remus spoke up

"You're kidding right Remus?" Lily said in disbelief

"N-"

"Please form a line and be quiet, you will now be taken into the Great Hall" Professor McGonagall had come back into the chamber that held the first years. All the first years immediately shut up and formed a single line and followed the person in front of them into the Great Hall. AS they were lined up against the wall, they say a hat on a three legged stool, that had just opened its' mouth tot sing:


Oh, you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find a smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave of heart,
There daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart.
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true and unafraid of toil.
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, if you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind.
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use
Any means to achieve their ends.
So put me on!
Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!


"When I call your name, please step forward a put the Sorting Hat on your head" Professor Mc Gonagall said "then please proceed to your house table. You will be able to tell where it is by the loud cheering Thank You and now on with the sorting!" with her final word, all the tabled erupted into cheers.

(A/N hey just to let you know Mc Gonagall says the name, the words after the name are how they react then the italics are the sorting hat and the name is the sorting hat, these aren't all the names just a lot of them oh and please read what the sorting hat says some of them are really important!)

GRYFFINDOR


PREWETT, LESLEY- jumped when her name was called, casually walked up to the stool

"Now that you have been sorted and are at your house tables, please let me introduce your headmaster.... Professor Dumbledore"

"Ah why Professor Mc Gonagall you are too kind. Greetings students and welcome to another wonderful year at Hogwarts, please first years the sorting hat had some very valuable information that it gave to you tonight please always remember it. A bit of information that I would like to inform everyone about, a new tree has been planted on the grounds, the whomping willow, please stay away from it it's very lethal, also the forbidden forest is off limits! And as always eat up!" As he said that the plates in front of the students filled with food.

"Whoa! Did you just see that?" Lily exclaimed

"Lily you're a witch you have to get used to this wizarding stuff!" Sirius exclaimed

"I know I know, it's just all so new!" Lily went back to eating her food until about 30 mins later the food disappeared

"I'm sure all of you have had a very exhausting day" Professor Dumbledore said "So if every one will please return to their common rooms I will see you in the morning for your first day of learning. Good Night!"

"Come on Lily let's go!" James said grabbing her had and pulling her up out of her seat

"Lily...LILY...LILY!" Lucius called as they were leaving the Great Hall, "Congratulations on being put in Gryffindor, hey I was talking to Snape and tomorrow we are planning on causing some trouble you in?"

"Yup!"

"Good I'll send you an owl at breakfast tomorrow to tell you the details! Good night my love"

"Good night Lucius"

"Lily lets go" Sirius called

"I'm coming!" Lily ran off to follow Sirius back up to the common room in which the password was supercalifragilistexpealidosious (A/N spelling? Oops...) As soon as Lily entered her "house" she said good night to the boys and went up to her dorm

"Hi my name's Lily!"

"I'm Gwenyth Michelle, but just call me Gwen, it's easier in the long run"

"I'm Casady"

"I'm Lesley"

"Nice to meet all of you but I don't know if I'm only speaking for myself but I'm about to drop dead tired, so how about we set up a bonding time but hit the pillows right now?" Lily said

"Good idea!" Gwen said climbing into bed

"I couldn't agree more, I'm dead on my feet!" Casady exclaimed practically jumping into bed

"Join the club night!" Lesley said

"Night" Everyone yelled and the lights went out






(I hope you like I know the end was a bit rushed but I'm kinda tired of writing and I'm throwing a party for the pv wrestling team that I have to get ready for and I want to go to bed so that's kinda where the ending came from the next part is going to be everyone's feelings so if you don't want to read it it's not necessary to understand the next actual part but it might give you an insight into the characters minds but whatever and I'm sorry if I offended anyone with my rant but I wasn't being serious so sorry for that please r/r next part won't be up until I get ten witch is normal I hoped you liked overall I don't know when the next part will be up hopefully soon and since I'm tooo tired to make up a good disclaimer it'll be quite boring, sorry)
