When they finally arrived Bionca took in a deep breath, swept her cloak on and began the journey
out to smell the sweet air of wonder and excitement.
When she stepped out of the train she beamed. Her eyes twinkled and she replied, "Wow."
All of a sudden she heard, "Firs' years ovr' here!" It was Hagrid, the Gameskeeper of Hogwarts.
(Who she had properly been introduced to a week earlier in Diagon Alley.)
"H'llo there Bionca!" He said briskly. She smiled back and looked out at all the students. People
everywhere were staring and whispering excitedly. "I know how Harry Potter must feel" She mumbled.
When all the first years had been round up Hagrid assigned them all boats. Bionca rode in a boat
with Hagrid.
"All ready?" he asked her.
She replied, "I've been ready for years."
As they made their way to land, Hagrid led the first years and Bionca to the Enterance Hall where
they met Professor McGonagall.
"In a moment you will all enter the Great Hall. You will be sorted and be seated with your new
house. Welcome to Hogwarts." She said.
As the doors opened, in went the first years, followed by Bionca who entered last. Truth be told
she was scarred stiff, but she looked confident, and that was enough to impress the rest of
Hogwarts. People stared, they whispered, and they pointed. But none of this bothered Bionca. She
had been attention hungry for something like this her whole life. And now that it was all coming
together she appriciated it.
Professor Dumbledore made his speech, including a short moment to explain Bionca's attendance
this year. She smiled and waved shortly. The Sorting Hat then sung. But Bionca was too excited to
be paying attention. At the end everyone clapped. And it was time for the Sorting.
One by one the first years were called up. "Doris Crotski." "Robert Dorova" "Zara McLenon."
Soon Bionca was the only one left.
"Bionca Witt" Professor McGonagall called. The Great Hall went silent as Bionca walked over.
The hat was placed over her head. And suddenly she heard a voice.
"I know you know about me and I know about you. So this is going to be difficult." It then continued,
"Hmmm...You would do brilliantly in Ravenclaw, Or in Hufflepuff, And you would Florish in Slytherin
or Gryffindor. Any thoughts?"
Bionca finally thought, "Slytherin or Gryffindor. Surprise me."
And the hat called aloud, "GRYFFINDOR!"
