Chapter 7: A Friend Made

A/N: Chapter 8 is going to be the last chapter that is
based only on Steven I am sure you the reader are getting
sick and tired of him when you could be hearing about Harry.

"We're there." Dumbledore said as he shook Steven awake.
It had been a long ride on the hogwarts express but Steven
needed the rest, he spent most of the night before sitting
awake in his bed thinking about how quickly his life had
changed. Once a very nice shy boy living in New York and now a
very nervous boy with magical powers going off to find out who
he really is a world away. As he stepped on to the platform at
hogsmeade station he looked around to find a scene just like at
Diagon Ally except things looked more calm. It was a bright sunny
day and all sorts of people and beasts were walking around enjoying
themselves. Just as Steven was getting used to watching the salamanders
burn to a crisp and back to normal one by one, a horse & carriage pulled
up in front of Steven and Dumbledore. Dumledore said "Ok here we are,
this way Steven." Steven got into the carriage and it took off up the cobble
stone road and past a forest. Ten minutes later Steven found himself in
front of an amazing looking castle "Welcome to Hogwarts" Dumbledore said
with a lot of pride in his voice. They walked up to the large oak doors
and they were greeted by a giant. Steven said "Your the giant from my
dream your ... Hagsbin." The Giant smiled and said "The names hagrid.
An' you must be Steven." "yes... yes... My name is Steven." At that
moment Dumbledore said "Now Hagrid Steven must be hungry I will set
him up with some lunch and then we need to talk about the his studies."
Hagrid nodded and Steven continued inside the castle with Dumbledore.
When they entered the Great Hall Steven's mouth fell open and he said
"Just like in the dream... Just like in the dream." Just then Professor
Mcgonagall entered holding a very batted hat. Dumbledore said "Now Steven
their are four houses at hogwarts, The houses are called Gryffindor,
Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Hufflepuff. Now the people in the house you
belong to are sort of like your family at hogwarts. You will attend
classes with people from your house and take part in contests with
your house and so forth. Now in order to put you into a house you must
put on this hat called the sorting hat. It will tell you your house."
Steven nodded and Dumbledore pointed him over to a stool. Steven sat
down and put on the hat and all of a sudden heard someone whispering
within his ear. The voice said "Where to put you... you have a very
good brain and you have lots of courage... so it must be Gryffindor."
Steven then took the hat off and said "That was cool, So I'm in gryffindor."
Dumbledore said "A house is like your family at hogwarts... and you will
have family at hogwarts. Your brother is in gryffindor. Now why don' t you
have some food and then we can start your first lesson." And then Dumbledore
waved his wand and a yummy looking grilled cheese sandwich and pumpkin juice
were on the gryffindor house table. Steven sat down to eat and Dumbledore said
"I will be back in about 20 min wait here until then." And with that Dumbeldore
left the Great Hall. Steven had only gotten a few bites into his sandwich
when he was interrupted by the sound of a man screaming I will get you out
of this castle if it is the last thing I do you stupid poltergeist! Steven
turned around to see a covered in green slime walk into the Great Hall.
Steven quickly got up and walked over to the man and said
"Sir is there anything I can do to help you?" the man turned
around and said in a mean sort of tone "No no no I'm just fine.
Who are you, I don't recognize you." Steven then said "My name is
Steven, I'm new here. Who are you?" the man then said "You may call
Me Mr. Flitch, I am the caretaker." Steven then said as he handed a
napkin too Mr. Filtch "Well I am glad to meet you Mr. Filtch. Would you
like something to drink?" "No no" Mr. Filtch said quickly and started
walking away. just as he was about to leave the Great Hall Filtch
Heard Steven say "Hello Spooky do are you hungry" Filtch eager to
see what spooky was turned around at once only to see a very nice
looking black cat sitting next to Steven, about to eat a piece of
sandwich that Steven gave her. Filtch then said "Nice cat. I have
one to her name is Miss Norris." Steven then said "If you want they
can meet each other later and we could all hang out." Filtch had thought
to himself that no one had ever treated him like a friend before and he
was happy to be treated this way and he said with a grin on his face
"That would be great." And with that Steven went back to his sandwich
and Filtch walked out of the Great Hall and they were both glad to have
a friend at hogwarts.

A/N: I know not many people like Filtch but I think if he was treated
nicely he would act nicely too.
