Chapter 2: Hogwarts and Sorting.

My disclaimer is on the first chapter and I'm too lazy to rewrite it now but I will rewrite it later.

The train pulled to a stop and Lily and Samantha got out. Lily pulled Samantha as far away from James and Sirius as possible.
"First Years over here!" The gamekeeper called (I have no Idea who the gamekeeper was back then so I will not even try). The two girls followed him to the edge of the lake where lots of little boats were waiting. Luck was with them and they ended up in a boat with a boy with dark brown hair and a blonde haired girl.
"Look" Lily whispered to Samantha. James and Sirius were standing up in their boat scaring the other people in the boat.
"We can't have that now can we?" Sam said and she blew gently in James' and Sirius' direction. The two boys lost their footing and fell into the water. Lily gapped at Samantha.
The gamekeeper lead the first years up to a magnificent castle. All the first years stared at it.
"Welcome to Hogwarts" Lily heard Samantha whisper. A stern lady was standing at the door to the castle. She led the students into a large corridor.
"Soon you will be sorted into you houses. There are four houses, Gryfindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. They will be like your home away from home. Points will be taken away for any rule breaking and points will be added for performance." The lady said, "Please wait here" And then she walked away.
"What's the sorting?" Lily asked
"It's not a lot." James said "All you have to do is wrestle a troll"
"Shut up James" Sam said stepping on his foot. James hopped up and down in pain.

After a while the lady came back and led them into the great hall. Looking around Lily gulped. There were five tables, four of them were filled with students the other one with teachers. A short man walked in carrying a stool with a battered hat on it. The lady was back.
"As I call your name. You will come up here and place the hat on your head."
"Black, Samantha" Lily smiled at her friend as Sam walked up to the hat. After a while it yelled
"GRYFINDOR!" The sorting went on. After a few names it was her turn.
"Evans', Lily" Lily stepped up to the stool. The hat slid over her eyes.
Hum. interesting, very interesting. You have brains you know. I should put you in Ravenclaw. But again, maybe not. You shall be in "GRYFINDOR!" Lily got of the stool and walked over to the table her friend was at.
"Congratulations!" Samantha said. Lily swore she saw some sadness in Samantha's face but if it was there it was quickly hidden.
"Oh man! Hurry up I'm starving!" Sirius moaned. When the sorting was over Dumbledor got up and made a speech.
"Welcome back to Hogwarts! Now I'm sure you are all hungry. So tuck in" All at once food began to fill up the golden plates. Lily gasped. The food had come out of nowhere.
"Did you see the look on Magonagal's face when she saw that there were two Blacks and a Potter all in the same year?" James was saying. Sirius snorted into his food.
"Who's Magonagal?" Lily asked.
"The lady that called of the names to be sorted." Sam explained.
"Oh! And why was she so surprised about the Blacks and Potters?"
"Because the Potter's and Blacks' produce the most mischief makers in the school. So having three of them would be like living hell, for a teacher." James said.
"James is just hopping to break the record for most detentions." Samantha said rolling her eyes.
"So? What if I am?" James asked.
"Then god have mercy on us." Samantha said making Lily laugh.
When dinner ended every one headed up to beds tired and full.
