GRYFFINDOR!
They appeared not long later in front of a large dark looking castle. Dumbledore led them up the stone steps into the entrance where a grim faced woman with grey hair and green robes stood watching them carefully.
"This girls is Professor McGonagall, she is the head of Gryffindor and will give you some instructions." Dumbledore said giving them a wink and walked off.
"Welcome girls to Hogwarts, here are your robes, you will sorted along with the first years. Who will be here soon, but for now please change ." McGonagall said leaving. They entered a small room, Laura placed her pile on a desk then with a sigh turned to Sara.
"Why you'd do it?"
"Because I know this is your dream and I couldn't let you do it by yourself." Sara replied.
"You know your the best buddy ever." Laura said hugging her then they got change, sitting on desks happily when they heard voices. The door opened and McGonagall stood in the doorway. "You may join us now." Laura linked arms with Sara as they left the room, going into a bigger one which was filled with about hundred eleven year olds. Laura scanned the room easily looking over their heads. "Quiet please, before you enter the great hall you must be sorted into your houses they are Slytherin, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. These houses will be your family, now follow me please." She said leading them into the great hall which was filled with people, candles hovered above them and the ceiling was dark but it was lit by thousands of stars.
"Are you scared?" Sara whispered.
"More than you know." Laura replied as McGonagall called out names, the kids walked up sitting on a stool then a hat was placed on their head their houses was called out.
"Ratahi Laura." McGonagall called, Laura walked up feeling eyes on her from every direction Laura sat on the stool as the hat was placed on her head.
"Well well well an exchange student, a wild one eh, like attention from the boys but also a good student and a loyal friend I know exactly where to put you, GRYFFINDOR." The hat cried everyone chapped as she walked down sitting next to a girl who had curly black hair which was pulled into a ponytail.
"Hi I'm Alicia Spinnet, welcome to Gryffindor." She whispered as Laura shook her hand.
"Thanks I'm Laura, Laws for short." Laura replied as Sara's name was called.
"GRYFFINDOR!" The hat yelled a few moments later. Laura chapped harder than anyone as Sara sat next to her.
"I'm so glad we're together." Sara said as the sorting finished, Dumbledore stood up.
"Welcome to a new year, this year we are happy to have two exchange students from New Zealand who will be with us until the end of the year. I hope you welcome them and show them the wonders Hogwarts has to offer. That is all for now let the feast begin." Dumbledore said sitting down and the food appeared on the tables.
"You know your our first exchange students." Alicia said handing a bowl of peas to Laura who pasted them straight to Sara.
"Really? Wow." Laura replied quite surprised.
"Oh I'll introduce you to the gang, that's Katie Bell, Angelina Johnson, Fred and George Weasley and Oliver Wood." Alicia said pointing to each person. Laura's eye's fell on the guy across from her his messy brown was messed perfectly, broad shoulders hunched over while he ate. Since she was a big fan of the books she knew who Oliver was, Laura thought he was great, Sara knew this and nudged her.
"Stop staring." She whispered as Laura quickly looked away turning to Alicia.
"So do classes start tomorrow?" "Yup and Quidditch will start a few weeks after that." Alicia replied with a smile.
"Do we have flying lessons?" Sara asked and Alicia laughed.
"No they only do it for first years, can you guys fly?" Alicia asked.
"No and there's no way I'd try either." Sara replied as desert appeared.
"I've never flown before but I would really like to try but I guess I'll have to wait." Laura said.
"Maybe not, I know the perfect person who could teach you." Alicia replied and Laura frowned.
"Really who?"
"Oliver." Alicia replied and he looked up.
"What?" he asked.
"I was saying you could teach Laura to fly." Alicia replied, Oliver looked at Alicia then Laura.
"I don't know." He said slowly.
"Well it doesn't really matter, I don't need to know how to fly." Laura replied as the plates cleared and everyone got up.
"No Laws he'll do it." Alicia said ignoring Oliver's silent protest. "Alicia it isn't necessary for Oliver to give up his valuable time just for me." Laura replied, Oliver and Alicia both looked at Laura with a mixed expressions.
"Fine if you don't want to then I'll leave it." Alicia said shaking her head as she joined the other girls.
"I apologise for putting you on he spot like that." Laura said as they walked up the stairs.
"No it's okay, I should be the one to apologise, your new here and I be a jerk to you and by the way you can call me Ollie." He replied holding out his hand.
"Apology accepted and call me Laws." She shook his hand feeling her cheeks heat up, they let go, walking down a long hall.
"So how you liking Hogwarts so far?' Oliver asked.
"Well the food was absolutely divine and the people are very amusing." Laura replied causing Oliver to give a chuckle.
"Do you always speak like that?" Oliver asked.
"No, just trying to sound smart." Laura replied, Oliver smiled when a tall, skinny, red haired guy with glasses came up to them.
"Evening, I'm Percy Weasley a Gryffindor prefect, Professor Dumbledore thought you might like someone to show you around." he said.
"Well..." Laura started but Percy grabbed her hand kissing it.
"It would be an honour if you would agree, maybe a tour of the common room tonight." Percy suggested.
"Well if it means that much to you, that would be nice." Laura replied pulling her hand away from him.
"Great let's go then." Percy said and Laura looked at Oliver.
"I guess this is goodnight then." She said and he nodded not saying anything as Percy dragged her off.
A/N ah Percy Weasley, what would a girl do without him laughs to self personally i'd rather have Oliver Wood.
