Cri found an empty compartment and sat her cat and owl in two of them empty
seats. She opened their cages and let them run free. Soon her compartment
door swung open and a boy stood in the door way. He had dark brown hair and
bright crystal blue eyes. He looked at her and smiled.
"Right then, There's no other empty compartments. Mind if I
join yew?" He asked politely. He was obviously a Scot as well, Cri had
grown up with them and was one too. She nodded yes and moved Gemini's cage
from the seat in front of her.
"So is this your first year here? It's my first year as
well. Oh My what a lovely Cat you've got there!" He ended looking at Gemini
who had curled up in the seat beside him.
"Oh I've lost my manners, My Name's Meriximus Dermundan,
But you can call me Meri. What's your name?" He smiled. He had a Wonderful
smile with perfectly straight and incredibly white teeth.
"My name is Cristantinan Mericumis. But please just call me
Cri." She looked at him mesmerized.
For the afternoon they spoke about Quiddich, pets, their families and what
they thought Hogwarts would be like. Meri had also come from a pureblood
wizarding family. At noon the food cart passed and Cri bought them both
some cold Pumpkin juice.
At long last, when the sun was setting, they pulled into Hogsmeade station.
Cri heard a giant man call
"Firs years here. Don be shy now. Firs years"
She followed the voice and they were led to a giant lake with boats at the
shore. Meri and Cri shared a boat and the first years made their way to the
castle.
When they got inside, Professor Magonagal told them they were to be sorted
into different houses.
"I hope I'm in Gryffindor" Said Meri, looking very
pleased.
"Well I don't know. Half of my family was Ravenclaws and the other Half was
Gryffindor. So either is fine with me" Said Cri.
They entered the beautiful hall and started to be sorted. After fifteen different students where sorted they Finally called her.
Mericumis, Cristantinan
She walked to the hat and put it on. Suddenly a tiny voice filled her head. "Oh There's skill. And Cunning,. So much bravery. I see you despise all evil. Well I've made my decision. You will be GRYFFINDOR!!!" The hat shouted and Cri stood up. She happily skipped to the table and sat beside a red haired girl. Meri was finally sorted ("Gryffindor") and he sat beside Cri. The feast was wonderful and at the end a dark haired Prefect led them upstairs and to the Picture of the Fat Lady. The password, HibberyGibbery, opened the portrait and they entered. The Common room was beautiful and they were directed to their dorms.
There where three other girls in Cri's dormitory. "Hi, I'm Cristantinan Mericumis but please, Call me Cri." She announced to them. A Blond, short haired girl, smiled and said "I'm Mercurin Tephithy." A Black haired girl, "I'm Isis McGregor." She winked. The last one, a shy little black girl smiled a worried smile and she said "Hi. I'm. I'm .Jerinna Kissiri." Cri said good-night to her new friends and slipped her pajamas on. She was happy to have met these people and she was happy to be at Hogwarts at long last.
