The great hall was amazing. Candles floated from the ceiling and the ceiling itself was gorgeous. Myrtle was astounded at its beauty. After the initial shock she went back to worrying about her sorting. She had no idea of what house she could possibly be in.

A friendly looking wizard stood by a stool with a large and ugly hat on it.

It opened its brim and began to sing. Now that the hat had told her about the houses she was more concerned then ever. Soon the sorting began.

Hornby, Olive was sorted into Slytherin as was her boyfriend Gahlert, Rodger. Finally Malcoms, Myrtle was called.

When the sorting hat was placed on her head it began to talk to her. Myrtle relaxed, the sorting hat thought she had a lot of great qualities.

Hmm, you are an interesting one. I must say that your fate has been decided and I doubt you will enjoy it. What is that, anger all ready? Perhaps Slytherin, no, that will not do. Ah, I know. GRYFFINDOR!

Happily Myrtle made her way over to the Gryffindor table where Minerva joined her shortly. An old man then stood up. "Greetings my joyous students! Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. I would like you to note that the forbidden forest is indeed forbidden and Mr. Gontall has posted a list outside his office of forbidden items. Now enjoy the feast."

The golden plates were filled with every kind of food imaginable. After eating she and Minerva went up to the dormitories flowing the prefects.

It turns out that they were the only new girl Gryffindors that year. Myrtle sighed happily as she lay back down on her bed.

They had their first class and it was transfiguration. Minerva, or Minnie as Myrtle had started to call her, had managed to excel at this subject. Myrtle unfortunately was not as good.

"I'm sure you'll get it next time."

"Thanks Minnie. On to potions."

It appears that the potion's class went a lot better than transfiguration. Myrtle seemed to like it though Minnie complained of the horrid stench. Their teacher was a nice man named Professor Dancel and seemed oblivious to most of the people around him.

At lunch the two girls started looking at all of the other people. There was one man who seemed rather big.

"Oh, that's Hagrid. He may be very big but he is actually very nice. Saved me from a bunch of Slytherian earlier today."

Myrtle nodded and proceeded to look around the great all in awe. A boy at the Slytherin table seemed to notice this and glared at her. Shuddering the sorting hat's words came back into her head.

Your fate has already been decided and I doubt you will enjoy it. She hoped she was not going to die or anything like that.

"I never ever want to leave Hogwarts!" Myrtle declared to Minnie.

Little did Myrtle know how true that was.
