The next day they went to Kings Cross to platform 9 3/4. Austin went through the brick archway
between platforms nine and ten. Lily and Kylie followed. Lily gazed at the black and
scarlet steam engine.
"Great, isn't it?" Kylie asked
"Yeah, it's beautiful." Lily replied
"Come on we've got to find a compartment." lifting her trunk in one hand
and Snowstar's cage in the other and climbed onto the train.
Lily followed with her trunk and Callie's carrier. They entered a compartment
where two girls were sitting. One has long blonde hair and the other shoulder length
light brown hair.
"Hi, can we sit here?" Kylie asked
"Sure." answered the blonde
"Thanks. I'm Kylie Moonstar and this is my best friend, Lily Evans." said Kylie
"I'm Madison Thornview, most call me Maddie." the blonde stated
"And I'm Viveca Sinclair." announced the brunette
"Nice to meet you." Kylie replied
They all sat down and each did their own thing. Lily put her headphones for her cd player on
and closed her eyes, Kylie opened a book, Madison opened her sketchpad and began to draw,
and Viveca started writing something.
James and Sirius walked along the aisle of the Hogwarts Express, searching for a compartment.
"I told you we were gonna be late!" James told Sirius
"We're not that late. We just have to find a compartment." Sirius said shrugging.
They continued down the aisle until they came across a compartment that had one boy,
with light brown hair. James and Sirius walked in and greeted the boy.
"Hey, can we sit here?" James asked
"Um, sure. I'm Remus Lupin." the boy answered
"Thanks. I'm James Potter." James said putting his trunk on the luggage rack.
"And I'm Sirius Black." Sirius told him
"Nice to meet you." Remus replied
The rest of the ride to Hogwarts was pretty quiet except for when James and Sirius started talking.
Soon they were at Hogwarts and were climbing into boats. James, Sirius, Remus, and a kid that has
a mouse like face were in one boat. Kylie, Lily, Viveca, and Madison were in another. They crossed the
lake and were in an underground cavern. They were greeted by a witch with black hair in a tight bun,
square rimmed glasses, and an emerald green cloak.
"Welcome, first years to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I am Professor McGonagall, head of
the Gryffindor house and teacher of Transfiguration. Follow me, please." she announced in a clear voice.
She lead them into a small square room that was off the great hall.
"Wait here, please." she said and walked out of the room and in five minutes returned. "Everyone into
a single file line, please, and follow me."
They walked into the Great Hall, where the rest of the school was waiting, Professer McGonagall placed
a four-legged stool down in front of all of the tables and on top of that a really old wizard's hat. The
whole school was silent and soon the hat began to sing:
"Oh, you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindor apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means
To achive their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
Your in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!"
The school applaused and then became quiet as Professor McGonnagal stepped forward a roll of parchment in hand
and said, "When I call your name, you will sit on the stool and put on the hat to be sorted."
"Abolde, Sarah."
A girl with dark hair and freckles walked up to the stool, sat down and put the Sorting Hat upon her head. In
a few minutes the sorting hat yelled, "RAVENCLAW!" The table cheered and Sarah sat down.
"Andelle, Moira."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Attina, Ashley."
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Black, Sirius."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Bollard, Timothy."
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Cabbor, Lindsey."
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Devina, Samantha."
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Evans, Lily."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Fendly, Horus."
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Grand, Serene."
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Grand, Sylvia."
"HUFFLEPUFF!."
"Hart, Devon."
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Kane, Orion."
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Lupin, Remus."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Moonstar, Kylie."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Two more: a boy to Ravenclaw and a girl to Slytherin.
"Pettigrew, Peter."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Five more: two Hufflepuff, one Slytherin, and two Ravenclaw.
"Potter, James."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Four more: two Slytherin and two Ravenclaw.
"Santiago, Elani."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Santiago, Pyralis."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Silverstone, Kagari."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Sinclair, Viveca."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Snape, Severus."
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Tavena, Allison."
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Temex, Gary."
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Thornview, Madison."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Undani, Fiona."
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Veslan, Cory."
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Weasley, Arthur."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Zandona, Jennifer."
"RAVENCLAW!"
Then an old man with long silvery-white hair and beard wearing half moon spectacles stood up
and started to speak.
"Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts. Before we feast I'd like to say a few words. And here they
are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thank You!"
Then the food appeared and they ate.
