Chapter 2:The Sorting

Ginny brought them up a couple staircases and they were led to a big door. She opened it up and there were 5 tables (4 vertical ones were filled with students and a horizontal one for the professors.) and over a thousand students. In the front, there was a black hat on a small wooden stool. Ginny took out a scroll and started to read off names. The first one who was called up was a skinny girl with spiky brown hair (Looks like a younger version Tonks). Her name was "Emily Aayako", and was sorted into Ravenclaw.
First years were starting to disappear into the tables. "Granger, Elyssa" Ginny read off. Elyssa said to herself," Please be Gryffindor, Pleeeeease be Gryffindor." She sat on the stool and the hat was put on her head. She closed he eyes. Then she heard it say, " Slytherin"
She walked over to the Slytherin table and put her head in her hands. More kids were going. "Potter, Amy" Ginny said. She smiled at Amy and she walked up. She thought," Its probably better to be in Slytherin so I can still be with Elyssa." She smiled at Elyssa and the hat said," Slytherin!" She smiled and sat next to Elyssa telling her why she was so happy. More and more kids went by until there were only two kids left. " Weasley, Edgar." She finished with a yawn. Amy crossed her fingers and the hat said," Gryffindor!" Amy yelled out," NO!" and a couple of Slytherins stared at her until the headmaster spoke.
"We have some bad news. Dumbledore has finally retired at two hundred something years old and I'm the new headmaster here. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Draco Malfoy." The third year they saw on the train made a big ugly grin. Amy and Elyssa's jaws dropped. The remembered what Edgar said? Elyssa whispered to Amy, " I heard he called my grandma a mudblood." Amy was shocked by what she said. She thought to her," I wonder how he'll treat all the muggle-borns." Malfoy said," Once the feast is finished, the prefects will bring you to your commenrooms." Amy and Elyssa didn't feel like eating. They were just thinking about how bad the year was going to be. First, her grandfather died, next she was seperated from one of her friend, and then she found out she had a muggle-born hater for a headmaster.
The prefects brought the Slytherins to a dungeon. She felt uncomfortable. There were spiders every once and a while and she shivered at the sight of them. Finally, they got to a big wooden door that looked a bit like the one they saw when heading to the great hall, except smaller. Inside was a nice looking room but it had stone walls and hard floors. Amy went to a big silky chair and sunk into it. The third year came up and said," What are you doing in my chair you little midget?" Amy started to get nervous," T-this i-is y-y-your chair? I-I'll get off it if you want." He said," You better." He pushed her off and sat down. She sat down on a more beat-up looking one. She didn't know if she could make it through her first year.
Amy and Elyssa went into the girls' dormitory. There were two girls already asleep and another girl was reading "Hogwarts, a history". They put their trunks at the end of two beds that had Green bedspreads with a snake in the middle. The girl reading the book threw it on the ground carelessly and fell asleep. Amy went into the bed pulled over the covers, and dozed off. The next morning, she opened her eyes. She got dressed and stuck her class list in her pocket. She and Elyssa headed off to breakfast. Amy ate some sausages, eggs, bacon, and some pancakes. Thet was what she always had for breakfast at home. After breakfast she went to her first class: Potions with the Gryffindors. She thought it wasn't a bad day after all.
