Chapter 9
- The Most Boring Train Ride EVER!-

"Hiya Harry."

"Dropping Kris off, right?"

"Yep. She's excited, she's been driving crazy. All she can talk about was school. I don't think I got that interested in school. Did I?" he asked Remus who had just come up behind him.

"No, I don't think so. You were actually worse."

"Oh."

"But that doesn't matter anyway. We need to go. Remember?"

"Ah, right. Ok! Bye Harry!"

"Bye." Sirius and Remus left the train station, in a hurry. Harry went through the barrier to see the train off.

After it had left, Draco and Harry went home while their kids traveled to Hogwarts.

On the train, everyone had finally found a seat, after that, the trip was rather uneventful. I mean, really, really boring. I think most of them fell asleep the first hour into the trip. So, yeah, it was pretty boring.

When the train arrived at the station in Hogsmeade, the kids rejoiced. The older students would remember this to be the most boring train ride that they would ever experience.

A large man stood at the station. He was Rubeus Hagrid. He grinned at the kids getting off the train.

"Firs' years! Over here!" He called, waving. Alisa, Alex, and the rest of their group headed over and cheerfully greeted Hagrid. He was an old friend of theirs. He had known Harry when he was very little, of course that was a long time ago. Hagrid was now around 76 years old. But he really didn't seem that old.

"Hi Hagrid!" Alisa said.

"Hello there, Alisa. How's everything?"

"Great!"

"Tha's good." Hagrid turned and lead the kids down to the boats.

"Four to a boat!" The kids clambered into the boats. They 'oohed' and 'ahhed' when the school loomed into view. It towered over the forest and the lake.

The boats landed at a little dock and they were lead up to the school by Hagrid. Just like every year before, he knocked on the doors to Hogwarts. Again, Professor Minerva G. McGonagall answered and took the students into the school. She explained a few things before leading them into the banquet hall.

The Professor brought out a stool and an old, dirty hat. This hat was a thousand years old and was once owned by Godric Gryffindor, one of the founders of Hogwarts. Professor McGonagall explained the hat and it started to sing its yearly song.

McGonagall called out the names of the students. Adams, Hilary, a short girl was light brown hair and a round face became a Hufflepuff. Blake, Dawn became the first Slytherin. She was a tall, thick girl with reddish hair, and dull green eyes. A black haired, browned eyed boy named Cap, Marcus became another hufflepuff. McGonagall continued down the list to Granger, Pokin who became a Gryffindor. On and on the list went till McGonagall arrived at the Malfoys.

"Malfoy, Alexander." she called. Alex hurried to the stool and put the hat on.

'Hmm, I see you're related to two of Hogwarts most promising students, eh? You have lots of determination..' The hat continued in Alex's ear, whispering thoughts about him. Alex thought it was quite disturbing that a hat knew more about you than you did. Finally the hat came to a stop. 'Well, I've made my choice. You're a SLYTHERIN.'

Alex threw the hat off and climbed down and went to the Slytherin table. They greeted him with smiles and cheers. They were glad that a Malfoy joined their ranks. They cleared another spot when they heard the next name called.

"Malfoy, Alisa."

Alisa slowly went to the hat. She couldn't remember when she had ever been this nervous. She placed the hat on her head and sat down.

'Malfoy, a pleasure, I'm sure.' the hat said sarcastically. 'Lucky for me, you're not going to threaten me like your father did many years ago. Funny kid he was. I'm afraid the school's in trouble. You're very much like your other father.'

'Dad.' Alisa thought.

'Yes, well, you have plenty of courage, and a nice bit of loyalty to your friends I see. I suppose I'll put you in GRYFFINDOR.'

Alisa smiled and went to the Gryffindor table after she took the hat off. Both the Gryffindors and the Slytherins were stunned. None of them expected for Alisa to be a Gryffindor. Then again, most of them didn't quite know who her Dad was.
