Annie
Chapter 5
After all the excitement of saying goodbye to her friends, arriving at Kings Cross Station, going through the wall to Platform Nine-and-Three-Quarters, boarding the train and then finally arriving at Hogsmeade, Annie was feeling a bit tired. But her tiredness soon disappeared as she came to stand before the largest man she had ever seen.
"First years, follow me," he called, leading them to where about half a dozen boats were waiting.
They sailed over what Annie guessed to be the lake, and just as they rounded the corner, everyone gasped as the castle came into view. It wasn't anything like Annie expected; it was much better. It was like a fairy tale castle, and the way Mrs Figg had described it hadn't done it justice.
Before she knew it, Annie was walking up the steps to the Entrance Hall, where a stern looking which was waiting for them. Annie guessed that the witch was not someone you should be in trouble with, so it was a good job that Annie didn't get into trouble, that much.
"Before you can be seated with you classmates, you will be sorted. There are four houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Your house will be like your family; triumphs will earn you house points, any rule breaking and you'll lose house points. You will wait here until I come back for you."
"Well that certainly told us," Annie thought, as she looked around at the others. They all seemed a bit nervous, and many were trying to make themselves look presentable. At that moment, the witch came back.
"We're ready for you now. Follow me."
Annie's eyes opened in awe as they walked into the Great Hall. The enchanted ceiling took her breath away, and for a moment she forgot all about the sorting. But, as they neared the staff table, the nervousness crept back in again. She didn't have long to wait though. All of a sudden she heard: "Clareight, Anastasia." Feeling as though this was the longest walk ever to the stool, Annie sat down and crossed her fingers behind her back, forgetting that all the teachers could see.
"Well, well, well." A voice made her jump slightly; only then did Annie realise it was the sorting hat.
"The question now is where to put you?"
"I don't know?" Annie thought, "I don't care so long as I get to learn magic, and I get to make friends."
"Goals like that show the house you should be in," the sorting hat told her.
"Which is?" Annie thought desperately.
"The blood of this wizard can be found in you...your definitely right for...GRYFFINDOR." The last word was shouted out for the entire Great Hall to hear. Relieved that at last she given a house to belong to, Annie quickly hopped off the stool to join her new house.
