Buffy walked onto platform 9 and 3 quarters, looking around for one
of her friends. She didn't see any. She sighed and pushed her trolley
around, and looked up at the clock. It was 10:45 a.m. She had 15 minutes to
find them. She rolled her eyes. Of course SHE would have to find THEM! THEY
never came looking for HER! She was thinking of how lazy most of her
friends were when she saw a flash of red hair streak past her about 10 feet
away. Buffy smiled and shouted,
"Hey Lily!" Her friend turned around. Lily Evans had done herself good over the summer, and had DEFINETLY changed. Her hair was shoulder length, whereas it used to be an inch below her waist last year. Her eyes looked even greener, and stood out against the black eyeliner she was wearing. She wore make-up, which she never did before. She was wearing cover-up, eyeliner, pink lipstick (which you could barely see) and clear lip-gloss, and silver eye shadow. She was wearing a light blue tank top, and a pair of hip-hugger jeans, with baby blue flip-flops, and wore her hair down. She looked good. Lily smiled at Buffy and walked over to her.
"What's up, B?" Lily asked Buffy, as they did their handshake (slap hand front and back, grab hands with thumb out, kiss their thumb, spit, and flip hair).
"Nothing much. You?" Buffy answered. Lily shook her head, and then smiled.
"So, you see James or any of the guys yet?" Lily said the word 'James' with hatred, but Buffy could see it was a cover up. Lily was begging to like James, and James had been asking Lily out since their 2nd year. Buffy smiled and said,
"Nope. So, you plan on giving in to James this year?" Lily smiled.
"Not a chance." She said, but Buffy could see a twinkle in Lily's eyes that told her all she needed to know. Yes, she was. Well, when she was through torturing him. Buffy opened her mouth to say something when another one of her friends came up beside them and said,
"Hey! Lily! Buffy! What's up?" Buffy and Lily turned to see their friend, Mai, staring back at them. The both (Lily and Buffy) smiled and said,
"Hey! What's up?"
"Nothing much." Mai said, sounding bored. Buffy shrugged, and Lily said,
"Oh. Hey! Look! There's Jepa!" They both turned to see a girl who had blonde hair that came 6 inches below her shoulders and blue eyes (sorry, Jessica, didn't know what you look like) heading their way. They all waved and said 'hi' when she got to them, and Jepa asked,
"Where's Faith (Sorry, Emily, had to put you in), Raven (that's you, siriuslover3, if you want another name tell me what you want), Chelsea, Kiara, and Lizzie?" Lily answered,
"Not here yet."
"Oh." Jepa said, looking quite put out. Then her expression brightened and she looked over Buffys shoulder and said,
"There's Chelsea and Raven!" (That's pronounced Chel-see-a) Buffy turned and they all looked and saw a girl shorted then the rest of them, and had mostly blonde, but looked like it had a little light brown, hair and greenish-brown eyes (that's my friend Chelsea Tinker) and a girl with brownish black hair, that looked like it was more brown, but had black in it, (that's my friend from here, siriuslover3, though I don't know what she looks like) and green eyes. They walked over to their friends and they all said 'hi' and fell into an awkward silence. 2 minutes later Lily saw Kiara and Lizzie headed their way, and said when they arrived,
"Look who finally decided to show up. Took you long enough!" Kiara, who was wearing a denim skirt that came just below her knees and a white sleeveless top with brown sandals and sporting no make-up except a dab of lip-gloss and had her long blonde hair that came below her waist up in a bun, scowled while Lizzie, who looked like she was 17 instead of 15 (they're all going to 5th year) in tight jeans and a white T-shirt that said 'spoiled' on it and sneakers and wearing whitish-silver eye shadow, black eyeliner, cover-up, a little blush (or was that HER blushing?), and pink lipstick, looked around and said,
"Where's Faith? She was with us a minute ago." Suddenly a girl with dark wavyish-curlyish brown hair that had blonde highlights, brown eyes and no make-up came running at them and almost knocked Kiara over with her trolley.
"I'm right here." Faith panted. Then they all hugged.
"Well, let's get on, I suppose. We have 5 minutes till take off." Lily said, at which Buffy, on Lily's use of words which was something Sirius would say, suddenly remembered her OTHER friends.
"No, you go ahead. I'll catch up with you later. I'm gonna go find the guys." Buffy told them. They all rolled their eyes, and Lily said,
"Why do you insist on hanging out with them and saying you're just friends? We all can tell you and Sirius like eachother!" Buffy started to walk away and called over her shoulder to Lily,
"Do not!"
"Do too!" Lily shot back.
"Whatever!" Buffy said as she turned and looked at her friends and walked backwards, "Whatever you say, Lily!" With that, she turned and ran. She started the think.
What would've happened if I never met my friends? The guy part of my friends, I mean. But would I only be a girl to them? Oh well. Thank god we met. And thank god we were all sorted into the same house. Buffy thought, then remember exactly HOW they came to be in the same house...
Buffy, having met new friends on the train, by the names of James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew, who told her what houses she did and didn't want to get sorted into, started to think about where she wanted to go when the sorting hat burst into song, making her jump:
Oh, I'm the Hogwarts sorting hat,
Made from the Hogwarts founders, I was,
And put on each student's head shall I be,
To see where they go without or with a pause,
Oh, where would you like to go?
That's what's important to me,
So try me on and I shall tell you,
Where you're meant to be. (you like my version?)
The students, including the first years, applauded for a few seconds when Professor McGonagall called up a student named Sharon Backner walked up to the stool, put the sorting hat on and waited.
*Well, I suppose Ravenclaw would be nice. They're said to be smart, but James said most of them are snobs. Well! There's always Hufflepuff, but Remus said they're supposed to be a little pathetic.And I DEFINETLY don't want to be in Slytherin, not after what James, Remus, and Sirius told me about them, especially because I have a feeling that horrible Lucius Malfoy will be sorted into there. I'll hardly be surprised, by what I hear of them. Well, that leaves Gryffindor. And Sirius said that that's the best house to be in. I've come to my decision. GRYFFINDOR! * Buffy thought, they snapped out of her thoughts just in time to hear Professor McGonagall say the name, as Sharon had been sorted into Hufflepuff,
"Sirius Black!" Sirius walked up to the hat, looking anything BUT nervous, sat down, and put the hat on.
There was 45 seconds of silence when, startling everybody, the hat suddenly bellowed,
"GRYFFINDOR!"
A table in the middle and to the left erupted into applause and some stood up, and Buffy saw Sirius beam and walk over to the table that was obviously Gryffindor. Eva Ramold (Back then they didn't go in alphabetical order in my story),"GRYFFINDOR!", Kiara Patil (Buffy and Lily's friend) "RAVENCLAW!", Lucius Malfoy, the hat didn't even wait before shouting "SLYTHERIN!", and Raven Merincavits, who had become a Ravenclaw (hehe, Raven.) as well, before Buffy heard a name of someone she actually liked, other than Raven,
"Remus Lupin!"
The Hall watched Remus walk up and sit down, obviously nervous, and put on the hat. There was a ten second pause, when the hat shouted,
"GRYFFINDOR!" Gryffindors clapped and Remus walked awkwardly to the table and sat down across from Sirius. The Hall got quiet when McGonagall shouted,
"Severus Snape!" When Snape walked up to the sorting hat, if it was possible, Sirius, Remus, Peter, and James all glared at him with more hatred Buffy had ever seen anyone express to anyone else, even herself to Malfoy. The hat touched Snape's head for a second before shouting,
"SLYTHERIN!" Snape smiled though a curtain of greasy hair, and when he walked to the table next to the Gryffindors, Buffy saw Sirius whisper something to him, then Snape whisper something back, and Sirius started cracking up, but stopped when Remus elbowed him, though he started to shake with laughter.
The next name Buffy heard was also a familiar one.
"Peter Pettigrew!" Peter walked up to the hat, looking terrified, and allowed it to be placed on his head, where it stayed for a minute or so, before yelling,
"GRYFFINDOR!"
10 or so names came and left, before Buffy heard one she'd known since she was 6.
"Lily Evans!" Buffys head snapped up, and she saw her best friend since 1st grade, as she was only half-magic, half-muggle but went to a Muggle school, staring back at her. The red head (Lily) smiled at Buffy, and Buffy smiled back before the hat was placed on Lily's head, almost instantly shouting,
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Lily got up, looked at Buffy, mouthed 'We'll talk later', and walked over to her new table, where she sat between two girls Buffy didn't know. The few people Buffy heard that was called were also friends,
"Faith Surovy!" Buffy watched her friend get sorted (Hufflepuff!), "Elizabeth Phillips" (Ravenclaw, and Emily, that is NOT Lauren, it's Lizzie from earlier in the story), "Chelsea Tinker!" (Gryffindor, and Emily, I'll smack you if you don't know who she is), and the next name she heard was one of her friends as well.
"James Potter!" Buffy watched James walk up; looking exactly like Sirius had, not worried, and put the hat on his head. There was 15 seconds of silence, before.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
The next name Buffy heard terrified her.
"Elizabeth Halliwell!"
Buffy walked, terrified, up to the sorting hat, sat down, and the last thing she saw was all her friends from the train, Sirius, James, Peter, and Remus looking at her, before the hat blocked her vision.
'Well, now, this is interesting. You could be put in two houses. Gryffindor (Buffys heart leapt) or Ravenclaw. Let's see.' The sorting hat said to Buffy in her head. Buffy jumped and thought,
*You can talk! I thought it was just a charm! *
'Of course I can, anyways...hmm... Well, deary, where would you like to go?' The sorting hat finished with a question.
*Gryffindor, please. *
'Very well, then.' And the Buffy almost fell off her chair with happiness when the hat shouted the exact word she had thought just five minutes ago,
"GRYFFINDOR!"
The first thing she saw when the hat was removed was the Gryffindor table, beaming with the satisfactory of a new student in their house. Buffy smiled and waved shyly and walked over to the Gryffindor table, and sat down between Sirius, who patted her on the back and said,
"Good job." And she also sat next to James, who was in an argument with Remus.
"What do you MEAN by we're out of Dungbombs! We just got some two days ago at Diagon Alley!" James said loudly, but then said in a softer voice when Sirius and Remus made a 'no' motion with their hands, and Peter said,
"Shh."
"What do you mean we're out of Dungbombs?" James said in a softer voice to Remus, "We were supposed to put them in the staff room!"
Buffy looked confused, turned to Sirius, and opened her mouth to say something when Sirius gave her smirk, shook his head and said,
"Don't ask."
Buffy smiled and then all the houses quieted down when Dumbledore stood up to make a speech.
Buffy smiled as she remembered that, and started looking around thinking of Sirius.
*He was really helpful, he was. I wonder if he broke up with Amanda. No! Buffy, do NOT go there! You and Sirius could and will NEVER be ANYTHING except friends * Buffy thought, but some deep dark corner of her mind said to her, *Yeah, but he is totally hot.*
Buffy shook her head to clear her thoughts away from Sirius. Who she saw standing 20 feet away didn't exactly help. Sirius was standing with his back to her. She smiled at finally seeing one of her best friends other than Lily and her gang, and walked over as quietly as she could, with her trolley, behind Sirius, who seemed deep in thought. She smiled and said,
"Hey stranger. Long time no see."
Authors Note: If any of you are confused as to this: "Elizabeth Halliwell!" Buffy is short for Elizabeth. And, for those of you who know Lizzie isn't one of my friends in real life, picture Lizzie McGuire going to Hogwarts! Lol! Just kidding. She's just made up. Just kidding. It's my friend Steph, and Kiara is my friend Mande(yes, you, Mande)
"Hey Lily!" Her friend turned around. Lily Evans had done herself good over the summer, and had DEFINETLY changed. Her hair was shoulder length, whereas it used to be an inch below her waist last year. Her eyes looked even greener, and stood out against the black eyeliner she was wearing.

"Nothing much. You?" Buffy answered. Lily shook her head, and then smiled.
