I felt like writing a Harry Potter story, I don't know why, I just did.
Disclaimer- I don't own Harry Potter, or any characters that are in the book. I don't own any quotes from the book I might use, and I don't own any of the songs that I use in the story. This disclaimer is for every chapter.
Warning- Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince spoilers later on in the story. I will warn you when there will be one.
Authors Note- This isn't exactly my third fanfic, it's more like my fifth. I have a School of Rock story, I have a Holes story, used to have two other Holes stories.
I Never Stopped: The Sorting
"Ring!" A girl woke up to the sound of her alarm clock, and to an empty house. Her parents were hardly ever home. The girl got out of bed and took her shower. Today was a big day for her. She got out of the shower smelling of Warm Vanilla Sugar. She put a towel around her, and tucked it tight. The girl started blow drying her long brown hair. After that, she put the hair dryer away, and went to her room. When she got out of her room, she was wearing a green skirt, a pink shirt, and her hair had a pink scarf around it. She went down stairs to go ear her breakfast, an afterwards, she went into the downstairs bathroom. She applied her purple lip gloss, black eyeliner, mascara, and green eye shadow. She got all her belongings, put on her pink flip-flops, and started walking to King's Cross train station.

"Frederick Weasley!" A very tired red headed boy managed to get out a muffled 'what.'
"Start getting read for school. It's your first day back to Hogwarts!"
"Fine, I'm up." Fred groggily out of bed and headed for the bathroom. After his shower, he muttered a drying charm and his hair dried instantly. He went back to the room he shared with his twin brother, George, and got dressed. He put on socks, jean shorts, and a white t-shirt. He walked past his younger brother, Ron's, room, his younger sister, Ginny's, room, and his older brother, Percy's, room. Percy had been bragging all summer that he had been made a prefect. His parents bought him an owl and new robes for school.
"It's our third year, Fred, so cheer up," said George. Fred looked at him.
"I'm not sad, I'm tired, and isn't it Ron's first year," he asked. Ron nodded. All of a sudden, George and Fred looked at each other, then back at Ron.
"Awww... ickle Ronnekins is going to be a first year," they said in unison.
"Shut up," he said. Just then, Molly Weasley walked into the kitchen.
"Okay children, your father just left for work, and he wishes you all a wonderful first day. Does everyone have their stuff ready," she asked. Everyone nodded. Everyone except Ginny.
"Mum, why cant I go?"
"I already told you, Ginerva, you are too young to attend Hogwarts," her mother replied. They all grabbed their stuff and went to King's Cross station.

The girl's mum already told her how to get to the train. She looked for platforms nine and ten. She walked a little ways down and found them. She put both hands on her trolley, which carried her trunk, some bags, and an owl, and she ran at the wall between the platforms. When she came out, she saw an apple red train with the words 'Hogwart's Express' on it. She took her luggage and put it in a compartment on the train. She got on the train and found a compartment with two girls, twins, who were first years as well.
"I'm Pavarti Patil, and this is my sister, Padma," she greeted.
"Hi," said her sister.
"Hi, nice to meet you both. I'm Lavender Brown," said the girl.
"Nice to meet you, Lavender. Did you hear," Padma asked.
"Hear what?" The, Pavarti told her.
"Harry Potter is on the train!" Lavender eyes widened, Harry Potter? The Harry Potter?
"Wow," was all Lavender could say. For the rest of the trip she got to know the Patil twins.

"Hurry up, Percy you first," Mrs. Weasley said, whole Ginny stood next to her. Percy ran through the wall between platforms nine and ten, with his trolley.
"Fred, you next," Mrs. Weasley instructed.
"I'm not Fred, I'm George," said Fred, "Honestly, woman, you call yourself our mother? Can't you tell I'm George?"
"Sorry George, dear."
"Only joking, I am Fred." Fred then ran through the wall, his twin following him. They then put their luggage in the train. When they went back to their mum, they told her that the boy she was helped through the barrier was Harry Potter. She started telling them something, but the twins weren't really listening. They got on the train and waved bye to their mum. They then found Ron and told him where they would be. They said 'hi' to Harry, seeing as he was sharing a compartment with Ron, and walked off. Fred and George went into a compartment with one of their good friends, and spent the train ride talking to him.

The train stopped, and all the students piled into the train corridor. When they got off, they saw a humongous man with black hair, and a black beard saying 'firs' years, over here.'
Lavender. Padma, and Pavarti walked to the group now huddled around the man people called Hagrid. Hagrid showed them around a corner, and welcomed them to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In front of the new students was a castle, a lake, and a forest off in the distance, they all climbed into boats and sailed to the castle. When they got there, they gathered in front of a stern looking witch.
"My name is Professor McGonagall. Soon, you will all be sorted into your houses. They will be like your family. They are Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, and Slytherin. Praises will earn you house points, and rule-breaking will loose points. The house with the most points wins the house cup. I will be back when they are ready." she left, then came back a few minutes late. They walked into the Great Hall, which consisted of a fireplace, a staff table, and four tables where, lavender assumed, sat the houses. They piled between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw tables. There was an old, beaten hat on a stool, and it started to sing.after it was done, everyone clapped. McGonagall called names.
"Abbott, Hannah." A girl went up to the stool and sat down. The hat was placed on her head.
"HUFFLEPUFF!" Hannah ran to the Hufflepuff table. Som other names were called, and so far some Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws, and Slytherins have been added, but no Gryffindors, Then Lavender heard her name.
"Brown, Lavender." She walked up to the stool and sat down. The hat was placed on her head, and after a minute or so it screamed...
"GRYFFINDOR!" The Gryffindors burst into cheers, while two red headed twins made cat calls to Lavender. She started to blush and walked over to the next empty seat, which just so happened to be next to one of the cat calling twins.
Chapter one is done. I'm currently writing chapter two, and I personally like it so far. But that's just me. Please REVIEW!
