Chapter 7: Bookworm, Loser, Brave or Evil?
The cold air rushed against their cheeks when they stepped out the train. "This is it guys. Hogsmead station, next stop Hogwarts." James announced. Remus fell silent and Lily giggled. "What's wrong Remus buddy?" James asked. "Buddy? I- I'm your buddy?" He looked at them with wide eyes. "Of course, why would you think we are not you friends? We sat with you all trip." Lily replied. "It's just that nobody has ever wanted to be my friends. I thought a cute girl like you and a funny guy like you wouldn't be friends with me because.never mind" Lily blushed and James put his arms around their shoulders when they heard, "Ferst yers. 'ver 'ere. Don' be shy. Ferst yers t'us way." A man about the size of the Hogwarts Express was standing on the end of the station motioning them to come. "We better go or we'll miss the boat." Remus said and they walked to the man. "T'us ev'ryon'? Gre't lessgo." He said and walked to the end and down some stairs. "C'm on t'us way." The scared first years followed him down the stairs. "Round tha corn'r is tha ferst v'ew of Hogwarts." They all gasped as the saw a huge castle appear on a cliff. "You never told me it was that beautiful." Lily said as she gaped to the castle. James just grinned.
They reached the bottom of the stairs and stopped in front of a huge lake. "Ev'ryon' a boat now. No more t'en for a boat." The three of them stepped in a boat and where accompanied by a small whimpering boy with dirty blond hair. "H-Hi my n-name is P-Peter." He stuttered. "Hey Peter." They said in unison. 'Probably a Huffy.' Lily thought.
The entire way she listened to the three boys talking and laughing while she looked at the castle coming closer and closer. 'Everything is so huge here.' She thought.
About 10 minutes later their boat hit the other side of the lake. "Ev'ryon' 'ere? Good." The man motioned them to follow him yet again. Remus looked at the sky, "Just two more days." He sighed. "Did you say anything Remus?" Lily asked. "No nothing Lil." He replied quickly and stared at the ground.
They walked across the grounds to the large doors of the entrance hall. The man knocked on the three times. At first they didn't hear anything, but then they heard footsteps echoing through the doors. The door opened and they saw a young woman open the door. "G'd ev'nin' Prefoss'r. 'ere are tha ferst yers." "Thank you Hagrid." She said and Hagrid left them with the woman. "Follow me please." She led them through the halls to a small room beside a room filled with voices. "Welcome to Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. My name is Professor McGonagall. In a moment you will be sorted into your houses. There is Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin. Your house would be like your family while you are here, you will have classes with them, eat with them and sleep in the dormitories set up there." She looked at the 18 new students. "Now if we are ready for you I will come to collect you and get you sorted." She left the room and the new students began talking amongst each other. A few minutes later McGonagall came back. "We are ready for you now."
They followed her out into a hall filled with students. The professor stopped in front of a stool where an old patched hat was laying. The room fell silent as a trim in the hat opened into a mouth and began to sing.
Almost a thousand years has past Since this school begun The first ones where picked by a test But who will do that when they where gone
Gryffindor knew what to do He gave me brains And what else I needed to look into you
That night I was born I have seen many things And was never torn
For I am Hogwarts Sorting hat I am never wrong and never will And no other hat will top that
Today I stand before you Ready to put you where you belong Put me on is all you need to do
The entire hall burst out clapping and cheering as the hat bowed. Professor McGonagall rolled out a piece of parchment, "If I say your name, you will come forward to be sorted." The nodded. "Black, Sirius." A boy with black hair stepped forward and had the hat on his head. "GRYFFFINDOR!" The hat shouted and the table exploded, "Cauldron, Amelie." "HUFFLEPUFF!" They heard the hat shout soon after. "Evans, Lillian." Lily took a deep breath and went to the stool. The last thing she saw before the hat was placed over her eyes was James holding up his thumbs. "Hello there" She heard in her ears. "Ehm.hi." She replied. "You have a lot of power in you. Now where to put you." She heard again. "Please not Slytherin." She pleaded. "Why not my dear?" "I don't want to go in there." "You could be great you know? But if you don't want to I'll put you in GRYFFINDOR!" The last was shouted through the hall and she got up happily to get to her table. "Glimmer, Thomas." "RAVENCLAW!" "Lockhart, Gladius." "HUFFLEPUFF!" "Longbottem, Frank." "HUFFLEPUFF!" "Lupin, Remus." Lily sat up straight to look at Remus, who was hesitating, but sat down anyway. "GRYFFINDOR!" Was heard after a few moments. Remus walked over quickly before the hat could change his mind. "Malfoy, Lucius." He looked scary, Lily thought. He had icy grey eyes and silver-blond hair. "He must be Slytherin." Remus said to her. And he was right, the hat had barely touched his head or it screamed, "SLYTHERIN!" He smirked and walked to the Slytherin table. "Moonshine, Enid." "RAVENCLAW!" "Moonshine, Ethel." She looked exactly like her sister. "RAVENCLAW!" "Nightshade, Serenity." A tall blond haired girl walked to the stool. She looked kind off like Malfoy. "GRYFFINDOR!" "Pettigrew, Peter." "HUFFLEPUFF!" 'Told you so.' Lily thought. "Potter, James." James sat down and the hat almost immediately said, "GRYFFINDOR!" Lily and Remus clapped the hardest of the entire table. "Good work Jamie!" Lily said. James grinned and sat next to her. "Rayman, Kevin." "RAVENCLAW!" "Shetan, Sheala. (Shuh-tahn, She-la)" "SLYTHERIN!" "Snape, Severus." "SLYTHERIN!" "Vixen, Lara." "SLYTHERIN!" "Finally the last one." Lily heard a girl groan next to her. "Weatherbee, Susan." "HUFFLEPUFF!"
When all of them where sorted McGonagall took the stool and the hat and brought them in the room they came out. Lily saw the head table. In the middle a man with silver hair and beard was seated. 'He looks familiar.' She thought, 'But from where.No way! That's the man from my dream!' She looked at him with wide eyes. He turned and winked at her. "James? Who is that man? The one in the middle..." "That's Dumbledore, the headmaster." Dumbledore stood up. "Welcome to a new year of education. I think you have been kept waiting long enough." He waved his hand and the tables filled with the most delicious foods.
After dinner the tables cleared again, and Dumbledore stood again. "Just a few announcements before you turn to bed; first of all, please note that the forest on the grounds is off limits to all students. Second, The Quidditch season will start in one month. Now that about covers it, prefects please take the first years to the common rooms. Good night everyone."
They followed the prefect out the hall, into several other passages, through doors until he stopped in front of a lady in pink. "Password?" "Now everyone be silent." "Leoma Na." James thought it would be funny to stand on Lily's foot right about now. "Ouch! You idiot!" She yelled. The prefect looked at them agrilly, "Good job you two, now our password for this week is: Leoma Na ouch! You idiot!" The other first years giggled when they stepped through the portrait whole. "Ok this is the common room. Behind that door is the stairs to the dorms. If you go up the stairs you will find 2 more doors, one on the left and one on the right. Left is for the girls and right for the boys. Your things are already upstairs. Tomorrow lessons start at 9 am. Be down for breakfast at 8 or you wont get any. Now you can either go to bed or talk a bit here." He said as the common room started to fill slowly.
Lily went to sit with James, Remus and the boy she remembered as Sirius. "Well hello there." He said to her with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Oh no! Not another one." She groaned. "Come on Lil, it can't be that bad." James said with the same glint in his eyes. "No? Then why do you two have the same glint in you're eyes?" James and Sirius grinned at her; both took an arm, pulled her down to the floor and tickled her. "P-Please.s-stop." She said through fits of laughter. Remus looked at them in amusement, "R- Remus.h-help..m-me..p-please." She begged. He smiled and pulled her out of the line of fire. "Thanks Remmy." She gave him a kiss on his cheek and sat down next to him. Remus was startled, 'she kissed me! SHE kissed ME!' He touched his cheek and turned red while muttering, "Your welcome." Sirius and James looked at the whole thing with wide eyes. "What?" Lily asked when she saw them gaping at her. "Nothing." They said in unison. "Good. Well I'm off to bed. Night." She got up and left through the door. "Wow! Hot chick." Sirius commented. James elbowed him in his ribs. Remus however had his head in the clouds.
When Lily entered the 'First years' dormitory, she saw that her trunk was standing by the right bed. She walked over and got her nightgown out of it. The bathroom door opened just as she changed into her silk nightgown. "You must be Serenity. I'm Lily." The girl threw her hair over her shoulder. "First of all," She started, "My name is Serena, Not Serenity. Second; we will be sharing this room for the entire year, so you stay on your side and I'll stay on mine." She walked past Lily after saying that.
'Prat!' Lily thought and stepped into the bathroom to braid her hair and brush her teeth. After that she stepped in bed and dreamed about Remus changing into a wolf and coming after her.
