The first years all gasped as they came into view of the huge castle.
Harriet looked all around taking in everything. There was this very cute
guy checking her out.
"Harriet? Do you see that hot guy over there. I think he's looking at you! He is! He won't stop!"
Harriet was noticing all this too and to tell the truth she found it really flattering. She decided to go over and talk to him. As she was walking over to him he slipped and fell in the mud. She hurried her pace to help him up.
"Are you ok?" Harriet asked this mysterious stranger.
"I'm fine. Thanks for helping me up. I'm Robinion."
"Robini wut?"
"Yeah I know, the name's a burden. But my dad has a very unique one too. My mom had a regular normal name. She pushed for it. However, my dad put his foot down and I got stuck with a dumb name. So my friends call me Robin. That's a better name, don't you think?" Robinion asked.
"I think Robinion is a cool name. But Robin's easier to pronounce," Harriet said.
"Yeah. I agree," Robin responded.
She decided she liked Robin. He was cute, nice, and really funny. They walked in the castle together and saw this older woman standing in the hallway.
"Hello everyone, and welcome to Hogwarts. I'm Professor McGonagall. Please follow me where you will be sorted into your houses. Your houses will be where you live for the following seven years."
When they entered the Great Hall, Harriet looked in amazement at the sights around her. She saw everyone looking at her as well as the other first years.
"Welcome, first years. I'm Professor Longbottom, headmaster here at Hogwarts. Welcome and please come to the front as you are sorted."
They all came to the front and Harriet realized how nervous she truly was. The ceremony had begun and she didn't realize this until she saw Robin coming up to the hat. She never did catch his last name. She watched as he got sorted into Gryffindor. Then she went back to her la la land and didn't come out of it till she heard Professor McGonagall talking.
"Potter, Harriet."
She nerviously walked to the hat and heard whispering going on all around her. She didn't know why this was happening but she did hear someone say Harry Potter. What was such a big deal about the Minister of Magic, even if he was the youngest one ever. He was still just a stupid politician. She decided she was being stupid and grabbed the hat.
"Potter did you say? I went to school with a Harry Potter, are you related to him?" Professor Longbottom said suddenly.
"He's--my dad," Harriet said.
The whispering started again only louder this time.
"Tell him Neville Longbottom said hi and that he's the Headmaster of Hogwarts."
"Ok," she said bewildered.
Thrusting the hat on her head, she waited for it to say whatever it had to say.
"Could it be, Potter's daughter? I remember your dad Harriet. He was very hard to place, but you're easy. You got the Gryffindor characteristics in your blood. That makes sense since your dad and your mom, Hermione, were both in Gryffindor. So my final decision is Gryffindor!" the Sorting Hat screamed.
"WHAT! Granger and Potter married each other? I was wondering about the two. They always looked like a potential love match. I guess I was right all along.. for once." Professor Longbottom said.
Harriet just nodded and walked away rolling her eyes. She found a seat next to Robin and took it.
"Hey, we're both in Gryffindor," Robin said.
Harriet nodded and saw out of the corner of her eye, Dill glaring at Robin. What was his problem? Oh well.
After the sorting ceremony, (Rani got into Gryffindor) Professor Longbottom stood up to speak.
"Ok first years all the other students know this but you don't. We have a dance every year to celebrate the start of a new school year. It will be held this Friday here in this Great Hall. Now let the feast begin." Professor Longbottom said.
Harriet saw as lots of food appeared before them.
"Hey, Harriet, want to go to this dance with me?" Robin asked her.
Wow! He didn't waste any time. She didn't know what to say. This was the first time a guy had asked her to do anything. And she wasn't sure her parents would approve. She looked at Rani for support. She was nodding her head so hard Harriet though it would fly off. She did want to go and see what it was like.
"I'd love to," she replied with a smile.
Just then she caught Dill mutilating his bread. What had gotten into him? He had been acting this way since they got there. She decided not to worry about it and started to eat her food.
"Harriet? Do you see that hot guy over there. I think he's looking at you! He is! He won't stop!"
