Gryffindor House
"Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Well I shouldn't keep the feast waiting. I know how hungry you all are. So let us begin." Dumbledore announce and then swished his hands. Suddenly food appeared on all the tables. Everyone began to eat. The older students at the tables began telling the first years what it was like at Hogwarts and living in the houses. The older students were explaining to the first years how fun it was watching the quidditch games. "It's mainly the older students that are on the quidditch team. I think we are actually going to start training the younger students for next year. Five of the quidditch members are in 7th year and the other two are in 6th year. This way we will be ready for next year." Chavi explained. "Well who's all on the team?" Adwen asked. "Well James and I are the Gryffindor beaters, and Keelin is the team's keeper. Kakra Jackson, Panyin Jackson, and Ramla Whittaker are the chasers. Oh and Tai Finnigan is the seeker." Chavi answered. Once everyone was stuffed full of food, Dumbledore stood up again and cleared his throat. "Before I send you off to bed I would just like to remind you of a few school rules. Firstly the forest is off bounds to everyone. Secondly Mr. Filch has posted a new list of inappropriate items to this years list. The list will be posted on Mr. Filch's door. Now will you all join me in singing the school song." Dumbledore said as he waved his hands and words appeared in the air. "Now pick your favourite tune to sing." "Hogwarts, Hogwarts, hoggy warty Hogwarts, Teach us something please, Whether we be old and bald, Or young with scabby knees, Our heads could do with filling, With some interesting stuff, For now they're bare and full of air, Dead flies and bits of fluff, So teach us things worth knowing, Bring back what we've forgot, Just do your best, we'll do the rest, And learn until our brains all rot." Everyone sang all finishing at different times. Finally once everyone had finished singing Dumbledore clapped his hands together and smiled. "Wonderful. Now we must all go get a goodnight sleep for tomorrow classes begin." Dumbledore said with a gleeful tone. All the students got up and left through the doors.
"Gryffindors follow me." Chavi said as she led them up the stairs and to the left. She led them up another staircase, and turned again. They all watched and whispered in amazement as they saw the portraits greeting them and welcoming them to Hogwarts. They noticed some of the staircases above them move. They continued down a hall and towards a large portrait of a rather big lady in an old fashioned pink dress. "Password?" The portrait asked. "Tolmiros liontari" Chavi called out as the portrait swung open revealing a hole to the Gryffindor house. Everyone climbed through the portrait hole and into the common room. The older students went their separate ways up to their rooms. Chavi, James, a seventh year prefect named Ramla, and a sixth year boy named Jonah. "I am the Head Girl, and James, Ramla well Rami, and Jonah are prefects. If you get into trouble you will be answering to us along with the teachers. If we must we will take points off our own house. Don't cause trouble and you will stay on our good side. Now your things have already been taken up to your dormitories. Look around you. These are the people you will be spending your next seven years taking classes with. Now your rooms are up these stairs. Girls are on the left, boys are on the right." Chavi explained in a stern voice. "Oh two more things. Your flying lessons will start next Wednesday. We will be having quidditch try outs next week to train a new team for next year. If you are interested in joining the team, meet at the quidditch pitch Tuesday, September 15th after dinner. We'll have to start training the new recruits as soon as possible. Some of you already know that we are loosing five members next year. So now off to bed and get a good night's sleep. Classes start tomorrow and you will be getting your schedules at breakfast." James added. "You will notice once you get into your dorms that you have been given Gryffindor scarves and decals. The decals are to be put on your uniforms, robes, and winter coats. Well now off to bed." Rami said. The first years went up the stairs, boys turned right and the girls turned left towards their dormitories. When the girls walked in they noticed five four-poster beds. Each bed had a trunk at the foot of it. The girls found their trunks and noticed their new Gryffindor scarves, and decals had been put on top. They took out their uniforms, robes, and winter coats and stuck the decals on them. They then changed into their pajamas and went to sleep.
