Chapter Two
-The Sorting-
As we neared Platform 9 ¾, my Mother started breaking down and crying. She started crying, saying how much I grew up, and how much she'll miss me. I hugged her, stating that I'll send her letters weekly.
After all the tears and such, I said goodbye and stepped onto Hogwarts Express. My golden retriever pup, Martin, followed me, wagging his tail wildly. The compartment I was in had a girl with brown hair and green eyes in there. She smiled at me, and shook my hand.
"Hiya! My name's Jennifer. I'm here for my first year."
I shook back gently. "Mine's Melody. Me too." I said softly.
During the ride, I needed to go to the bathroom, and so I excused myself and went to find one. I opened a random compartment, and I stop in my tracks. Sitting in there was no other than the Boy Who Lived and his friend, a Weasley. Ron I think.
He was a skinny boy, with jet black hair. Harry Potter had deep green eyes, and glasses that make him look so smart. His hair was all messy, and kind of made him look cute. He was wearing baggy robes, and laughing at something Ron said. A girl came into the compartment. She had brown curly hair that was soft and pretty. The girl sat down next to Harry. I felt a pang of sadness. So he had a girlfriend? I let my breath out, unaware that I've been holding it for a long time.
Shaking my head, I turn around and walked back to my compartment, where Jennifer was reading a book. She looks up, and smiles.
"So you're back. What took you so long?"
I blush, and shrug, unwilling to answer. Martin padded over and licked my hand happily.
The train finally stops. I gather my trunks and luggage, and we got off the train. A big man was standing there, holding a lantern.
"First years over 'ere." He called.
So this was Hagrid. He introduced himself as we were escorted into these boats to row across a river and go into Hogwarts. I feel my breath get caught in my throut.((spelling?)) Hogwarts. It was so beautiful and looked like a giant castle from a fairy tale.
After we landed, we had to go into the dinning room. The dinning room looked majestic. Lights and lanterns were floating on the top of the humongous room. There was a chair, with a lumpy hat in the middle. I heard about the sorting hat. There were 4 long long long tables that were the chairs where the houses sat at. I saw Harry sitting on the Gryfindor one. I prayed to myself that I would somehow land in Gryfindor, in the same table as he was.
After a few names, it was my turn.
"Huang, Melody" I felt eyes all turning over to look at me. I walked slowly to the front. Gently setting the hat on my head, the hat started talking to me. ((a/n-Melody is asian.))
"Hmmm. You would do well in Ravenclaw. Not Slytherin, you aren't pureblooded or ambitious. I guess Ravenclaw it is then."
"RAVENCLAW!" The sorting hat yelled aloud.
The Ravenclaws clapped for me welcomingly. I smiled shyly, and sat next to Jennifer, who was sorted there also.
I felt sad. Sad that Harry Potter would probably never even notice me. He would never know my name, even.
In my heart, he wasn't Harry Potter, the boy who survived Voldemort twice. He's the boy who's just Harry. I loved him because of his bravery, not his popularity. He was someone I looked up to as a savior. As a boy who defeated Voldemort when no one else could. I knew that he probably didn't even know how he did. It just happened. I thought of him as my idol.
After the last person, we had the feast. It was something magical. Bowls and dished appeared in front of us. We ate our fill of chicken, beef, and a huge variety of things. My eyes widened when I saw the food.
With full tummies and happy times, we went to the Ravenclaw dorms. The entrance was this picture of a dragon.
"Ok, the password this month is Candy Apples." The prefect said. "Be sure not to forget."
We stepped in. The common room was brightly lit by a fire. Comfy couches were all around the fireplace.
"The boys dorms are to the right, and the girls to the left."
After I unpacked and stuff, I drifted off to sleep. Jennifer shared the same room as me, and I can hear her snoring softly in the other bed. Martin lay at the foot of my bed. I smiled with my eyes closed.
