Chapter 3 Hoggy, Hoggy Hogwarts
The Hogwarts Express rumbled to a halt. They walked towards the compartment door, pulling on the last sleeve on their school robes. They joined the crush heading towards the train door, eager to get some fresh air.
When they stepped out, Lily didn't know where to go, until she heard a shout of "Firs' years over 'ere!" and a large person holding a lantern. They made their way over there and stopped when they reached the person. "'ello there James," the person said. James smiled and returned the greeting.
"Who's that?" Summer asked him.
"That's Hagrid, keeper of the grounds here. Dad's a school friend of his. Don't let his size threaten you though, he's a gentle giant," he replied.
They followed the gentle giant to a mass of boats. "Four ter a boat!" Hagrid called out.
Each boat was your typical rowboat, but they had a lantern propped in the center. Lily rushed into one, and found herself with Candy, James, and Sirus. She looked around and saw that Summer had gotten in a boat with Remus, Peter, and a girl who looked like herself.
"Candy, who's that by Summer?" She asked curiously.
Candy replied without looking up. "Oh, that's her twin Autumn. Did I tell you about her? Well, she's not Summer one bit. For one, she's not a good Quidditch player and two; she's not as hot tempered as Summer. She's cool, but she's not as fun as Summer is. Whoa!" She finished as the boats lurched forward.
Lily turned around in her seat, and found herself looking at a castle that looked like it just came out a fairy tale book, complete with towers and sparkling lights. She heard lots of ooh's and ah's around her. She couldn't help but join in.
The boats made their way towards the school. Lily found herself thanking her lucky stars that she wasn't alone because the castle looked forlorn and forbidding in a marvelous way.
She stepped out onto a rock landing and waited for her friends to reach her. When they did, Candy asked how she liked the school so far. She said that she loved it, but couldn't help feeling tiny. At this the others laughed.
They followed the other eager first years up a flight of stairs. When they reached the top, Lily saw a stern looking witch with her black hair firmly placed into a tight bun at the nape of her neck. She waited until all of the new students had quieted before she started to speak.
"Welcome to Hogwarts first years! I am Professor McGonagall. In a moment you will enter Great Hall and be sorted into your house. Your triumphs will earn your house points, and you mishaps will lose you points. The four houses are Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Now, follow me," the witch said.
Lily gasped as they entered the Great Hall. Four long tables filled the room with one long one at the head. Candles gave off a bright glow from their place suspended over the tables. The ceiling was what caught Lily's eye though. It was bewitched to look like the out side sky, complete with hues of reds, golds, and crimson and merrily twinkling stars.
As they neared the front, Lily noticed an old looking tattered hat sitting on a three legged stool.
"Gather round, first years," McGonagall called, reminding Lily of a mother hen. "Now, after the Sorting Hat finishes singing its song, I will call your name and when I call your name, please com up here and sit on this stool. I will then place the Sorting Hat on your head."
The Sorting Hat looked like it took a deep breath and then sang out his song:
"What kind of sorcerer are you?
How do you do the things you do?
Share with me your secrets deep inside.
What kind of sorcerer are you?
Are you loyal through and through?
And do you have a heart that's true?
What kind of sorcerer are you? If you're the loyal kind you're a Hufflepuff,
Here you won't find people who are too tough.
The badger's the symbol of the house,
and in Hufflepuff Tower there's nary a mouse! What kind of sorcerer are you?
How do you do the things you do? If you're sneaky you're in Slytherin,
They'll do whatever it takes to win!
Good luck with Tregon and his Potions class,
Make one wrong move and you won't pass! What kind of sorcerer are you?
How do you do the things you do?
Share with me your secrets deep inside.
What kind of sorcerer are you?
Are you loyal through and through?
And do you have a heart that's true?
What kind of sorcerer are you? If you're brave as a lion, go Gryffindor!
When they win they let out a mighty roar!
You'll be like the Fat Lady and her friends,
and your Hogwarts adventure will not soon end! What kind of sorcerer are you?
How do you do the things you do? Last but not least there's Ravenclaw,
and they're the smartest people I ever saw.
Those are the houses at Hogwarts School,
so put me on, don't be a fool! What kind of sorcerer are you?
How do you do the things you do?
Share with me your secrets deep inside.
What kind of sorcerer are you?
Are you loyal through and through?
And do you have a heart that's true?
What kind of sorcerer are you? All who are here will be a wizard or witch
Try to win at Quidditch!
Our plan is this: gotta teach 'em all!
The Hogwarts spirit never falls... What kind of sorcerer are you?
How do you do the things you do?
Share with me your secrets deep inside.
What kind of sorcerer are you?
Are you loyal through and through?
And do you have a heart that's true?
What kind of sorcerer are you?
What kind of sorcerer are you?
How do you do the things you do?
Share with me your secrets deep inside.
What kind of sorcerer are you?
Are you loyal through and through?
And do you have a heart that's true?
What kind of sorcerer are you?"
The student body erupted in applause. When it died down, Professor McGonagall pulled out a piece of parchment and started to read off names. "Abbot, Jacob!" McGonagall read.
A small boy walked up and was sorted into Hufflepuff. She called several more names until Lily heard one she recognized.
"Black, Sirius,"
Sirius waltzed up and before McGonagall had a chance to place the Hat on his head, it roared out GRYFFINDOR! Sirius sauntered over to the table on the right, flashing them a smile.
"Dippet, Autumn!" the Professor read.
Summer's twin walked up and sat down. After a minute, the Hat yelled "RAVENCLAW!" Autumn smiled and went to join the table on the far right.
"Dippet, Summer!" the stern witch called out.
Summer bounded up to the stool and grinned at Lily.
"GRYFFINDOR!" the Hat yelled, and applause broke out from the table on their right.
"Evans, Lily!"
Lily nervously walked up to the stool and McGonagall placed the hat on her head.
"Nervous, eh?" a voice from the hat said, "Hmm. lets see where you belong. Lots of brains, yes, you'd be great in Ravenclaw, but I think you belong in GRYFFINDOR!"
Lily sighed with relief and went to join her friends at the Gryffindor table.
A little while later all her friends were sorted into Gryffindor. After the headmaster's, Dumbledore, welcoming speech, the plates in front of them filled with foods ranging from salad to chicken, mashed potatoes to rice, and the goblets filled with an orange liquid that Summer said was Pumpkin juice.
"SWEET!" Candy and Summer said at the same time and burst out laughing. Everyone else looked at them like they were mental.
As they ate their fill, Lily looked around. She saw the Malfoys looking at her and shivered. They gave her the creeps, especially the male, Lucius. He always had a sour look on his face and always flanked by his triplet older sisters Danielle, Michelle, and Nicole, who if looks could kill, everyone who they looked at would be dead. They were that freaky.
When dinner was finished, the first year Gryffindors followed their perfect, Arthur Weasley, to their dormitory. They went up flights of stairs, around corridors, and through doors. Lily looked out a window and saw that they were high up, like they were going to a tower.
After three more turns, they reached a lovely picture of a fat lady dressed in pink silk. The lady in the portrait raised an eyebrow and said in a bored voice, "Password?"
"Fortuna Major," Arthur replied. The portrait swung open revealing a cozy looking room.
The room was done in scarlet and gold, Gryffindor colors. There were over stuffed couches and high backed chairs all over, tables for homework, window seats, and a banner that was hanging over the mantle that said "Welcome First Years!" in flashing Gryffindor colors with lions running in and out of it.
"Listen closely now," Arthur called out, "the boys' dormitories are to the left, up and down, and the same with the girls' on the right. Now, I suggest that you go up and sort out your belongings. I wish you a good night." With that he left the first years on their own.
Lily, Summer, and Candy said goodnight to the boys and made their way up the stairs to find their new dormitories. After passing seven doors, they finally found their room. They got the highest room with a breath taking view.
"I call the bed by the window!" Summer yelled, throwing herself down onto the window bed.
Lily found herself on the bed next to hers, and Candy directly in front of her. A girl named Lisa had the other bed, but she kept to herself and didn't say much.
Lily changed into her pajamas and said good night to her new friends. She fell asleep to the thoughts of her new life, ready and eager to try something new.
