Introduction: The Arrival
My trip to Hogwarts was a long one. I spent six hours on a muggle airplane before landing at Heathrow Airport in London. There I met a stern-looking woman, with her hair pulled in a tight bun. She ushered me into the ladies bathroom and pulled out a razor.
"This will take you to Hogwarts," She said. "It will activate in five minutes. I'll meet you there." With that, she apperated to, I assume, Hogwarts.
Upon my arrival, I landed face-first at the feet of the Professor. She extended a hand and helped me up, a small smile on her face.
"The sorting will begin momentarily. You will attend tonight's feast, sitting at the head table. Your belongings have already been placed in the 5th year Gryffindor Dormitory."
"Thank You Professor..." I started, realizing I don't know her name.
"McGonagall. Minerva McGonagall."
"Black. Eliza Black." I replied. "James Bond fan?"
She nodded in response. I followed her into the Great Hall, heads turning as I passed each seat. There was an empty seat between the greasy-haired Porfessor and the Professor with short hair and catlike eyes. I took my seat with hundreds of eyes staring at me.
The sorting began with Anderson, Cody going to Ravenclaw and ended with Wax, Anna going to Huffelpuff. Dumbledore stood up to make his beginning of the year speech.
"Tuck in" was the only part I heard before he started my introduction.
"I know you're all wondering who this darling young lady sitting next to Porfessor Snape and Madam Hooch is. I have the pleasure of introducing your Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher, Professor Black."
The hall was slient. Dumbledore started applauding, followed by the rest of the staff. Students slowly joined in.
After the feast I followed McGonagall to the Gryffindor Common Room. She showed me to the 5th year Dorm, and bid me a goodnight.
Please tell me what you think! I know this is short, but it is only the intro. Constructive criticism is always welcome!
