Later That Night
We arrived at the castle around 7:00 p.m. We left our stuff in the train and headed towards the castle. We had to get into these horseless carriages (no, I do not mean cars) that would take us to the castle of Hogwarts. After climbing a flight of stairs we came into the Dining Hall. There were four huge tables for each of the four Houses, there was a slightly smaller fifth table for the Professors. The four house tables each had a banner hanging over it. Hermione, Harry, and Ron all went to the table with the banner of a fierce red and gold lion. I was told to stand among the first years and I was confused because, well, I'm not a first year! Suddenly the whole hall went quiet. I looked up at the head table and saw Albus Dumbledore standing up in the middle. He had started making a speech of Welcome. He finished his speech by saying, "As you all know very well, The Forest is forbidden to all students. NO EXCEPTIONS." He said that looking mostly at Ron, Harry, Hermione, and a pair of identical red haired twins with a mischievous glint in their eyes. He continued, "Also, on a lighter note, we have a new fifth year at our school. She has transferred here from Beauxbatons and I hope you will make her feel at home here." What seemed like a million pairs of eyes shifted to me. Dumbledore than spoke, "Lily Mac Entire, would you please come here?" I made my way to the front of the room to Dumbledore.
"Yes, Professor?" I questioned formally.
"I am going to have you be sorted before the first years so sit down on this stool," He gestured to the stool next to him, "so you can be sorted." I sat down and waited. He put a over-large wizards cap that went over my eyes on my head.
"Why, hello there," The hat said.
"Ahhh!" I gasped.
"Shhh, it's ok. Now. You're a cunning girl aren't you? Yes, I thought so. But you're brave, yes, very brave. I bet you want to be placed in Gryffindor, am I correct?"
"Yes, please."
"Ok, here you go, GRYFFINDOR!!!" I silently got up and walked over to the Gryffindor table and sat next to Harry who was smiling with pleasure.
We watched the sorting ceremony, it was pretty interesting. When it was time to eat, our food appeared on our plates out of thin air. All of the food was wonderful. The Gryffindor prefect led us to our common room and Hermione and I headed to the room where the fifth year girls slept. Each girl has a four-poster bed with red velvet drapes and canopy. My bed at home is exactly the same except with blue drapes so I felt completely at home here. But something seems wrong. The school has a poltergeist names Peeves and he is knows for causing trouble wherever he goes. Whenever I'm around him, I have the feeling in the pit of my stomach that something very bad is going to happen. Oh yeah! This is how I know Malfoy:
Last year while I was at the Triwizard Tournament, I saw Malfoy pushing around a little girl. I was about to give him a piece of my mind when an adult came and stopped him and took the little girl away. I turned around to walk back to the Tournament and he followed me, I had that weird prickly feeling on my neck that I get when I think someone is following me and I turned around. When I turned around he almost ran into me. He then asked me out!!! EWWW! I of course said no thanks and he said that I'd be sorry. I walked away.
Well, That's it. Now, I have to go to sleep, I'm sooo tired!!!
