"We were just having some fun!" exclaimed James from a compartment from down the hall. Sanpe and Lucius came out of thier trance and started running at the four boys.

" I hope they catch you guys!" yelled Hannah after them. The three girls went back to thier compartment.

" Always count on those four to cheer up your day!" laughrd Lily

"More like give you a heartattack!" exclaimed Hannah.

"First years this way!" called a friendly voice.

"That's us!" said Lizzy nervously.

"First years to the boats!" called the booming voice again. Hagrid led the first years to the boats and led the fleet to the castle.

Lily and Lizzy climbed into a boat with a girl with blonde hair named Adrian, and another girl with brown hair named Amber.

Everyone 'oooohed' and 'aaawed' when they saw the castle. Once inside Hagrid led them to a stern looking woman at the top of a huge staircase.

"Hello everyone and welcome to Hogwarts," she said, " My name is Proffesor McGonagall. In a moment you will br sorted into one of four houses- Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Gryffondor, or Slytherin. Please follow me."

She led the first years in two straight lines, into the Great Hall. Inside was a long table at the front of the hall, in wich the teachers sat. There were also four longer tables in wich the Hogwarts students sat.

The first years approched the haed table and saw an old hat sitting on a stool. Suddenly a stitch in the hat opened to resemble a mouth and started singing. When it was done everyone clapped.

"When I call your name, " Proffesor McGonagall said after the clapping had died down, " you will sit on this stool, and will place the sorting hat on your head and you will be sorted into your house."

" Now that everyone is seated at thier house table I would like to say a few words before we start the feast!" announced Dumbledore, " A few words!" Dumbledore sat down as the food appeared on their plates. Lily started eating then looked around at the other first years to see all of them looking very nervous. All of them except Snape and Malfoy ( who were putting theier feet on the table and making themselves at home), and James, Sirius, and Remus ( who were talking to a few 7th years as if they had known them all thier life.)

The prefects led the first years to the Gryffondor common roolm after they had finished eating. Knowone wanted to go to bed, but the prefects made them. So Lily was asleep at 10:00. Classes started at 9:00 the next day.
