CHAPPIE 2

When the Hogwarts Express finally pulled into the station at Hogsmeade, Bryony Alexis Sprout-Black was really relieved. That was the longest trip ever, she thought. She'd listened to her No Doubt and Alanis Morissette CDs over and over. She was also really glad that the train had a bathroom, because she had way too much pumpkin juice when the witch came by with the snack trolley.

When she got off the train, she felt really weird about leaving Britney and her stuff, but all that was going to be taken up to the castle by magic. Bryony followed a bunch of other students to some carriages that were being pulled by invisible animals (A/N: Bryony can't see the thestrals so she doesn't know they're there lol! ;)

Bryony got in a carriage with some Ravenclaws and they went up to Hogwarts. She was starting to get really excited. The castle was really big and ancient and Bryony thought it looked like something out of the movies. That reminded her of when her mom said that they didn't have tv at Hogwarts, so she wouldn't be able to watch her favorite movies like Romeo + Juliet. Bryony sighed to herself. Oh well, at least I can still hang up my Leonardo DiCaprio poster in my dorm, she thought. Then she remembered that she was going to see her grandma, Professor Sprout, in just a few minutes. She smiled to herself. Her grandma was always really nice to her, but she never got to see her very often because they had always lived in different countries before.

The carriages took everyone right up to the front doors of the castle. Bryony got out and went inside with everyone else. She was totally amazed. The castle doors were huge and the entry hall was really old and cool looking. Everyone except the first years (because they weren't there yet) went into the Great Hall and sat down at their house tables.

Bryony stood in the Great Hall by herself. She didn't even notice how awesome the Great Hall was, especially the ceiling. Oh no! she thought. What am I going to do? Everyone else is sitting down but I don't know where to go! This is sooo embarrassing!

Bryony was saved when her grandma walked up to her. ''Bryony!'' said Professor Sprout. ''I'm so glad to see you!''

Bryony sighed with relief. ''Grandma!'' she said. She had never been happier to see her Grandma Sprout. Some of the kids nearby were staring at her, but Bryony didn't notice as her grandma gave her a big hug. Bryony just wished her grandma didn't smell like dirt. That was kind of gross.

''You can come sit at the High Table with me,'' Grandma Sprout said to Bryony. They walked up to the table where all the teachers were sitting and Bryony took a seat between her Grandma Sprout and a really, really little funny-looking man.

Bryony looked around the Great Hall now and thought about getting sorted. She was so nervous! She wondered if she was going to be in Hufflepuff like her grandma and her mom, or if she was going to be in Gryffindor like her mom said her dad was.

After a while, a bunch of first years came into the Great Hall and stood there. A very old man with a long beard got up at the High Table. Bryony knew this was Headmaster Dumbledore because her mom had told her all about how cool he was.

''Welcome to another year at Hogwarts!'' Dumbledore said. He started talking a lot about how really dark things were happening. Bryony was a little scared by all that stuff, but she knew about most of it and besides she was just so nervous about being sorted that she couldn't really think about anything else!

Then Dumbledore said, ''Before the new first years are sorted, we have a new student. Her name is Bryony Alexis Sprout-Blac. She is very special because she is a transfer student from America. She is also Professor Sprout's grand daughter. I hope everyone welcomes her and makes her feel at home. Because she's special, she's going to be sorted now before all the first years.''

Then the teacher that came in with all the first years, Professor McGonigal, put a stool and a really old hat down in front of the High Table. Bryony took a deep breath and got up and sat down on the stool. Professor McGonngal put the hat on her head. The hat was really big, so Bryony couldn't see anything.

Ewww, Bryony thought. How old is this hat? It smells kind of gross. I hope it doesn't have lice or something! ''I don't have lice!'' said the hat.

Ohmigod you can talk! Bryony thought to the hat. You might want to get dry-cleaned or something.

''What's dry cleaning?'' said the hat. Bryony could tell it was only talking to her, like some sort of cool telepathy thing almost. ''Now let me look in your head,'' the hat said. ''Wellll, hmm... You're not a Ravenclaw because even though you like school, you have so much natural talent so you don't really need to study a lot. Ravenclaw would be too boring for you, Bryony. You are loyal and work hard like Hufflepuff, so maybe that house. You have ambition, like Slytherin, but that house doesn't really work for you. You are definitely brave and stuff like that. So do you want to be in Gryffindor or Hufflepuff?''

Bryony thought about this. She remembered what Draco said about Hufflepuff, and that her mom said that Harry Potter was in Gryffindor, like her dad. Also, she thought red and gold was a way better color combination than yellow and black. Yellow and black made her think of bees or something!

''I think I'll be in Gryffindor,'' Bryony thought to the hat.

''Okay,'' said the sorting hat. Then it shouted, ''GRYFFINDOR!!!'' and Bryony knew it said it really loud so the whole Great Hall could hear.

Bryony took off the hat and sighed with relief. She was so glad that was over! McGonagal looked really happy and took the hat from Bryony. Then she said, ''You can go sit at the Gryffindor table now,'' and she pointed to it so Bryony would know which one it was.

Everyone was clapping, especially the Gryffindors. She went and sat with them, and they all said hello.

''Hi!'' she said. ''Even though my name's Bryony, you guys can call me Bree.''

''Bryony?'' said a girl with really bushy hair. Wow, Bryony thought. She really needs a defrizzing potion! ''Isn't bryony an ingredient in most love potions?''

''Um, so?'' Bryony said.

''Well, it's an important ingredient to make the potion trick people,'' the girl said.

''Uh, yeah, okay,'' Bryony said. ''My name's like really unique and special just because my grandma is such a good herbologist. Um, duh.''

There was a boy with black hair sitting next to her. He was wearing glasses, too. He said, ''Bree, did Dumbledore say your last name is Sprout-Black?''

''Yeah,'' Bryony said. She shrugged. ''My mom hyphenated her name cuz it's like more feminist or whatever.''

''Okay,'' said the boy. He looked really thoughtful and sad, and like maybe he wanted to say something else, but he didn't.

Bryony felt really bad for him. Then an idea hit her. Omigod! Duh! Of course! she thought. ''Omigod, are you Harry Potter?'' she asked the boy. She tried to see if she could see his famous lightning bolt scar but his bangs were really long.

''Uh, yeah,'' he said.

''Oh, wow! That's so cool!'' Bryony said. She was going to add that the quiz she took said that they were MFEO (Made For Each Other), but she didn't want to embarrass him or anything.

There was a red-haired boy there too. He said, ''Hi Bree, I'm Ron Weasley.''

''Hi,'' Bree said.

Then the bushy haired girl introduced herself. She said she was Hermione Granger. Bryony thought that she was probably okay, but she kind of had an attitude. And she had the hair problem.

Then the first years got sorted and everyone ate dinner. Bryony had a lot of fun talking to the kids at the Gryffindor table, and the food was really, really good even though she wished they had hamburgers and pizza and regular American food like that. She thought about how her dad was in Gryffindor and she wondered if anybody knew about him. She knew that the newspapers said he died, but she wondered if some people still believed he was a bad guy. Bryony and her mom always knew he wasn't, but she wasn't ready yet to talk about her dad who she'd never even got the chance to meet.
