"You had me so, worried that time, wondering what was bothering you so badly. I wanted to go and show that Malfoy how to treat you better. I didn't quite understand, my feelings. All of this was so much for me, yet for you it was nothing. Michael seemed like a nice guy, and I am glad that he had been there for me through the years. Josh was always an odd one in his books. To bad, that we all never really share much time with each other like I had wanted originally. Most of all with you."
The train had arrived. All the students stumbled off the train wearing the robes. Michael explained to Justin that he had go a different way to Hogwarts than him, but he catch up with him later. Justin had grabbed Angela this time pulling her towards the way, the first year student had been being called. Angela still not acting herself, slowly came to when the site of a large man the size of which made, Justin feel like a elf. He called himself Hagrid, and from the moment he spoke, Justin felt a childish warmth about him. He explained that the first years must take a boat ride to Hogwarts, and that he was in keep of sorts at the school. It seemed that Justin was finally starting to accept that things are going to be out of the ordinary and to accept them instead of fear them. As long as he had her beside him. Angela smiled and told Justin that they had to get into boats to ride to Hogwarts. Justin sighed, almost hoping that brooms would have been the way. "fine fine, boats it is , I suppose" he laughed.
As the boats came upon the large site of Hogwarts, with it's castle like architecture and very medieval look, Angela and Justin stated gasping in awe. For this would be there new home for the year. Justin stopped and looked at Angela and pulled out his key. It took a moment, and she herself brought out the chained heart. "Friends forever" they said together.
Once inside the of Hogwarts, they waited to be directed to a large dining hall. The group of first years stood alone for a bit. Justin watched as something was going on at the front. A young boy with dark hair and a unique scar of a lighting bolt was being talked to by Draco Malfoy. Justin listen in as he heard The boy be called Harry Potter. Justin had heard about him from Michael. Something of a big hero or of the like. Justin didn't really care much for stories like that. Harry had turned down Malfoy, and that made Justin laugh to himself with a hopeful glee. Draco turned back and gave Justin a almost look of death with his two lap dogs, Crabbe and Goyle staring also.
After a short while longer. The first years were gathered into a great dining hall. Where banners were hung of the four houses, and at the end sat a table with different teachers he assumed. In the center sat, what he thought must be the oldest man alive in the world. Yet, he felt this man was also the wisest just by feeling. The man introduced himself as Albus Dumbledore. Headmaster of Hogwarts. Justin felt a large glowing feel of safety in him, just by knowing that this man was his headmaster. He watched a students one by one were set on a chair and had a magical talking hat sat on their head. He had to wipe his eyes twice just to believe it. The sorting hat, as it is called, sang a song and then chose the appropriate house for each student. He watched as Draco went up, and before the hat could even be sat down. "Slytherin!!!" the hat screamed out. No surprise there by Justin's part. Yet, now Harry Potter was up. The sorting hat took a long time deliberating on him. Gryffindor was it choice, and Justin felt that is where he wants to go, if not to just be on the opposite of such people as Malfoy.
"Justin Calgory" his name was called. Justin grabbed his key close to his chest, and smiled at Angela who seemed to be thinking about something. Justin sat in the chair that made him feel ten time smaller than he was. The hat did its song, and while sitting there Justin, whispered to himself, how he s badly wanted to be in Gryffindor. Finally the hate shouted "Gryffindor!!". Justin was so happy he ran to the table with his now house mates. Waving to Michael over at the Ravenclaw table and giving him a smile. He watched the other classmates get sorted. Until it was time. "Angela Henderson". Justin noticed something odd, when her name was called Headmaster Dumbledore's head seem to raise a little, and seemed quite fixed on her. Angela sat in the chair, not saying a word almost looking like a different person. The sorting hat, stopped and Justin seemed to feel at that moment time had stopped. He knew she would be in Gryffindor with him, and that the this year couldn't get any better, but yet, why does he have the feeling that something isn't right.
He looked around the room and realized it wasn't the sorting hat that had stop. Everyone in the room had stopped. Time really did stand still. Justin panicked and quickly glanced around looking for any movement. There at the entrance to the grand hall. The dark figure of his dream stood. It moved forward again, not allowing him to escape. Justin screamed for help, and called out Headmaster Dumbledore's name. Hoping that the great wizard would hear him. The figure moved up to Justin and spoke this time. The voice seemed so clear, yet so muffled at the same time. "Your Life, for her Death" it spoke, making Justin think about what was said. Justin didn't even noticed the large knife again coming at his chest.
"Slytherin!!!!!!!" Justin snapped back out it, and jumped away from the table. Angela stared at him and smiled, and started to walk towards the Slytherin table being greeted with arms wide open by everyone. Justin looked at Dumbledore, who was staring back. In a matter of moment, everythings has changed his world crushed. Justin wanted to run to her, ask he why? How? He wanted to run and tell them to retry it the sorting hat there must be a mistake. Then it happen. He saw her smiling and enjoying the company of Slytherin. He almost wanted to cry. His best friend, not going to be with him for the rest of the year.
Angela turned to face Justin and smiled, and gave him a kind of thumbs up. Almost as if she didn't mind them not being together. Justin regained his composure and sat back down, before the anyone else started staring at him and thinking he had lost it. Justin finished the rest of the festivities with a half hearted smile. He couldn't get over what had happen, and how time had stopped. What was happening to him he wondered. He met his classmates, and afterwards was led to his dormitories. He was told the password, and made sure to remember it. It brought a hint of sadness to him, that he wouldn't have her to help him remember. In school, she always help him remember reports or assignments due.
That night, Justin slept with tears in his eyes, he thought that maybe she was just putting on a act. That was it, and that tomorrow things will be different. He will go talk to her. Just cause they were in different house doesn't mean anything..
