Disclaimer: Not mine, 'cept for Christiana.
A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed! I feel loved. Any ways, I know the
sorting hat song is cheesy and based on the one in the first Harry Potter
book, but hey, I'm not perfect. Hope you enjoy!
"I wonder what house she'll be in," Hermione wondered aloud.
"Well, with her mouth, she'll probably be in Slytherin," Ron joked.
"No, I don't know. We'll just have to wait and see.

Christiana was very nervous. She didn't know what would happen. She waited while the hat sang its song:
Oh, you may not think I'm pretty, but don't think on what you see,
I think it's time to lose the rhyme and put your head on me.
For if you're scared and nervous, I know just how you feel,
But when I'm done you'll have some fun and go to eat a meal.
The sorting hat continued with its song. Christiana didn't think was too good. Then Professor McGonagall started calling names.
"Anderson, Nalia"
"HUFFLEPUFF!" the hat shouted. The Hufflepuff table clapped for Nalia.
"Bart, Thomas"
"RAVENCLAW!" The Ravenclaw table clapped.
"Calicott, Meghan"
"RAVENCLAW!" The Ravenclaw table clapped again.
"Drum, Hector"
"SLYTHERIN!" The Slytherin table cheered. Fred and George Weasley booed Hector.
A few more kids then,
"Granger, Christiana"
She put the hat on.
"Hmmmm," said a little voice in her head. She jumped. "This is going to be difficult. You've got the temper of a Slytherin. How about it?"
"NO!" Christiana screamed in her head.
"Ok, then what about Ravenclaw? You're plenty smart. But, no, it doesn't seem right. Hufflepuff wouldn't be right either. So, I think it's safe to say.GRYFFINDOR!" The hat yelled out the last word to the whole school. Christiana was very relieved. She was shaking as she walked down to the Gryffindor table, where she sat next to Hermione.
"Ug. I thought that it would never end!" Christiana exclaimed.
"Well, at least it's over," Hermione replied. They waited until everyone was sorted, then the food appeared. Christiana was so interested in the Great Hall that she didn't listen to the conversation.
When the feast was over, Professor Dumbledore gave his classic beginning of the year speech. Then, they went up to the common room. Christiana was anxious to get to sleep, so she could start her lessons the next day. She fell asleep very fast.

"Wormtail, I need information!" A soft voice hissed.
"Master, I, uh, don't, uh, have any, uh, information," The little man replied.
"But if she really is alive, then we can't have her running around, CAN we?" The man practically yelled. "I want information NOW. Go anywhere you need to, but get it!" He roared.
"No master, yes master. I'll go right away," The little man scurried off.
****
Christiana woke early the next morning. She got all ready and then waited in the common room for Hermione, Harry and Ron.
"Sheesh! What took you guys so long?" She asked when they came down half and hour later.
"Sorry! Well what time did you get up anyway?" Hermione replied.
"Uh, I think 6:00," Christiana replied sheepishly.
"Hmmm, maybe that's why it took us so long. We usually wake up at 6:30! Breakfast is at 7:00," Hermione replied.
"Whatever," They went out the common room, and to the great hall. ("Thank goodness I have you guys to show me where to go. Otherwise, I'd come in here right when breakfast ended," Christiana said.)
****
After they ate, they got their timetables and then went off to their first class. Christiana had Charms first, and Harry, Ron and Hermione had Defense Against the Dark Arts. She was lost, until Hermione showed her where the class was.
****
"Good morning class," Professor Flitwick said. He was a very small man, but Christiana took a liking to him right away. "Today we're going to be working on the Levitating Spell. But before we start trying it, we have to study a bit about it. But at the end of the class, I'm going to let some of you try it. But before we start class, I have to take roll,"
So, Professor Flitwick took roll. When he got to Christiana's name, he paused. She heard him mumble "Another Granger, I wonder what this will be like," Christiana was a little annoyed. Would she have to live up to her sister's reputation? Probably.
'Well, at least I know all the course books by heart, and she might be able to do some of the spells by watching Hermione.' She thought.
"Ok, can anyone tell me the hand movements for the Levitating spell, and for extra, what are the words?" Professor Flitwick asked. 'If she's anything like her sister, she'll know this.' He thought. He wasn't sure that anyone could live up to Hermione's reputation. But to his surprise, Christiana's hand went up. 'But she might not know the answer.' He thought. "Yes, Miss Granger?"
"Swish and Flick, and the words are Wingardium Leviosa. Did I pronounce that correctly Professor?" She said.
"Uh, why yes. You're right," He replied. Even Hermione hadn't been able to answer the second part of his question when she was a first year.
15 minutes before class ended, Professor Flitwick let her try to do the Levitating Spell. She raised her wand, said Wingardium Leviosa, (correctly) and the feather rose in the air. Professor Flitwick was astonished.
****
Christiana's next class was Potions. The potions master, Professor Snape wasn't thrilled at all when he read her name. But she had expected that. He gave the whole class two essays, because no one could answer his questions.except for Christiana. But, he never called on her. He just kept ignoring her. Typical. She should have known.
****
Her last class was Transfiguration. Professor McGonagall looked at her funny when she read the roll.
"Today class, you will be learning to turn a match into a needle. But first you have to learn about the concept of Transfiguration," She said. She then told them to take notes as she talked. She talked for half and hour. Then they started to turn the match into a needle. Christiana raised her wand and transfigured it in 5 seconds. Professor McGonagall was amazed. Never had she seen anyone transfigure something that fast. Why it had even taken Hermione Granger 5 minutes to do it. There was still half an hour left in class, and no one had done it other than Christiana.
"Miss Granger, please come here,"
'What did I do?' Christiana asked herself.
"Miss Granger, I would like to see how far your transfiguration abilities go,"
"Oh, Ok then," Professor McGonagall had her transfigure a mouse into a snuffbox, which she did, then step transfiguration, which she passed too. Then she had her do 4th year transfiguration. Christiana passed with flying colors.
"Well," Professor McGonagall was flustered. "No first year has ever passed 4th year transfiguration on their first day," Then the bell rang. It was time for dinner. Christiana wasn't sure where the Great Hall was, so she just followed the crowd. She searched for Harry, Ron and Hermione, and when the crowd cleared, she found them.
"Hey, how was your first day?" Hermione asked when she saw Christiana.
"EASY, except for Potions. That old git assigned us TWO essays, because he wouldn't call on me," And she explained.
"Yeah, Snape's done that that to us before. But two essays. Where the Slytherins with you?" Ron asked. "Nope. Maybe that's why,"
"I wonder what house she'll be in," Hermione wondered aloud.
"Well, with her mouth, she'll probably be in Slytherin," Ron joked.
"No, I don't know. We'll just have to wait and see.
