Chapter Two
They went into the girls' changing room on the train and then came back. The train was nearly at Hogwarts. Seanny sighed when the train came to a stop.
"So this is Hogwarts," she said.
"Yeah. Isn't it great?" Brian asked.
But Seanny wasn't paying attention to him. She was staring at Oliver Wood. She was daydreaming about him holding her close to him.
"Hey Seanny. Are you there?" Christina asked her.
"Yeah. I'm just amazed that I'm here at Hogwarts," Seanny said, although she was still dreaming of Oliver holding her in his arms.
They went inside and the sorting ceremony was about to begin. Seanny was one among the people being sorted. She was nervous. Which house will she be sorted into? Out of all the houses she didn't want to be in Slytherin because of their bad reputation and due to the fact that they despised Muggle-borns.
"Diggory, Seanny," Professor McGonagall called.
Seanny went up to the stool and the professor placed the sorting hat on her head.
"Ah.a Diggory. Cedric doesn't have any brothers or sisters though," the sorting hat said into Seanny's mind.
"I'm his cousin," thought Seanny as a reply.
"Yes, of course. Now where to put you. You don't thrive the power Slytherins want nor are you as loyal and patient as your cousin. That leaves Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. You're as smart as a wick so I know the perfect house for you," the sorting hat said. "You belong in." then in a loud shout, "RAVENCLAW!
The table next to the Gryffindor table cheered. Seanny went to sit at the table and caught Oliver's eye when she took her seat.
"Is he staring at me?" she thought.
After everyone was sorted, Professor Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, made a few announcements. "Students are reminded that the Forbidden Forest is off limits. And we have a new 4th year from America. As some of you might have already heard when everyone was sorted that we have a new Diggory in our mist. Her name is Seanny and I hope that all of you will make her feel welcome as much as the First Years. She will be helping Professor Marson in teaching about computers in Muggle Studies this year. And we also have a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Professor Snape. He will be teaching both Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts at the same time."
Everyone in the Great Hall groaned when they heard that Snape would be teaching both subjects.
"Now let the feast begin," Dumbledore continued.
Food then appeared on everyone's plates.
"Wow! This is a lot of food," Seanny said.
"Yeah," said Cho Chang. "So you're from America?"
"Yeah."
"What is it like there?"
"It's an okay place to live. It isn't as interesting as here in the UK though."
"I thought that you would miss it a lot."
"I do. But I don't want to see my boyfriend ever again."
"Why?"
"Because he cheated on me a lot and I don't want to go through that again."
"Oh I see. So what's your ex-boyfriend's name?"
"Zach Ontell."
Then all of a sudden, an owl came for Seanny.
