Chapter Four

Mariela and Melissa weren't sure how long it took to fly to Hogwarts. It must have been hours, because the sun was setting, but the time had flown by for the two girls. When they landed softly onto the lush green lawn of Hogwarts, the sun had disappeared almost completely behind the distant trees. A faint smell of turkey wafted through the air, and Melissa and Mariela were in a daze as they trudged up the slope of grass that led to the huge castle.

The castle was gigantic. Mariela and Melissa had never seen anything quite like it. "Where are we, anyway? Where is this castle? Are we still in California?" Mariela was asking questions again.

"God, do you ever shut up?" Fred teased playfully.

"I will if you answer my questions!" Mariela smiled.

"Mariela," Hermione said, "We are still in California. The school grounds are hidden from Muggle eyes, and what the Muggles see is a huge swamp. We are at the foot of the Sierras."

"Thank you, Hermione. You are very helpful, unlike some people," Mariela smiled and looked at Fred. He grinned back.

"Are we finished here? I'm starving," Harry said. They were in front of the school doors, and no one else had reached the castle yet. Ron approached the doors and tried to open them, but they were locked.

They looked around at each other and their surroundings, clueless as to what they should do next. Then suddenly the doors swung open. Professor Mathieson had opened the doors and was waiting for them to enter.

"Come on, lovebirds, the feast is about to start. You landed on the wrong side of the school, you dummies!" he said as the group entered the castle. Down the corridor, there was a throng of students standing around idly. Then they spotted Samantha standing with Brigitte and a tall, pale boy. They assumed he was the boy Brigitte had referred to as "cute".

"Hey, Professor Mathieson?" Melissa asked.

"Yeah?"

"Where is Claire?" Melissa inquired, wondering where her friend, and his daughter, was.

"She's not exactly... magical. She's a Muggle. Guess she gets it from her mother's side of the family."

"Oh, that's too bad," Mariela said. Then Samantha spotted them approaching. She waved them over, and they had no choice but to talk to her.

"Hey guys! I want you to meet Draco Malfoy," Samantha said, gesturing to the sneering boy next to her.

"We've met," Harry said darkly.

"Samantha, you know Potter?" Draco asked, darker than Harry's darkness.

"Well, sort of... He's friends with my friends," Samantha smiled. Brigitte smiled at Samantha. They smiled at each other.

"Look, we have to go and socialize," Fred said, "Mariela, do you want to come with me and George?"

"Sure," Mariela said, going off with the two boys, and not looking back.

"I'm going to go... see... Neville," Harry said as he left them for a large, frightened boy who was standing in the corner.

Ron, Melissa, and Hermione stared at Samantha and her group.

"Hey, Melissa, would you like me to introduce you to some people?" Ron said, smiling. Hermione's eyes widened. She knew she'd be stuck with the horrible people.

"Umm, sure, I guess," Melissa said, and she and Ron walked away.

"So..." Hermione said, smiling and clasping her hands. Samantha and Brigitte were still smiling at each other.

"Aren't you a mudblood?" Draco sneered.

"Excuse me?" Hermione said, taken aback.

"Your parents... they're Muggles, aren't they?"

Hermione said nothing, but just walked away in a huff. She was going to have to yell at Ron for not inviting her to leave, too.

As Melissa walked away with Ron, she felt a bit guilty… "Poor Hermione," she thought, "stuck with Samantha and Brigitte."

But by then, Ron had grabbed her hand, and led her quickly, "We're late for the sorting," he sighed, "This will be a disaster…"

"What sorting?" Melissa asked as they approached a large crowd of fellow first years.

"Looks like Mariela isn't here yet… Probably still with Fred and George. Oh well…" Melissa stopped abruptly as she saw some familiar chest hair up ahead.

"It seems you're late, children… Quite a catastrophe we had back at the train wasn't it?" Mr. Roeder trailed off as Ms. Nakathing called a name.

"Mariela Lopez? Is she here?"

Ron was quick to tell her, "Oh, um, she's a little late getting here…"

Mr. Mathieson just stared amusingly at Ron. "Oh, yes… she is very occupied right now Ms. Nakathing." Mr. Mathieson said this with a smirk. Ms. Nakathing looked confused.

"Alright then, we should get on with the sorting… uh, Brigitte Lee?" Brigitte tangoed up to the hat; she was feeling a bit airy… as always.

"EW! I have to put this thing on my head! GROSS!" being the hypocrite she is, Brigitte said this as she put the hat on.

"SLYTHERIN!" it declared a few seconds later.

Ms. Nakathing looked down her list. "Drahco Malfoy?"

"It's Draco!" said the pale faced boy as he put the hat on his head, like so many students before him.

The hat had barely touched his head when it declared, "SLYTHERIN!"

"I get to be with Draco!" Brigitte called in glee.

After Melissa, Ron, and Hermione were sorted into Gryffindor, Mariela came to the sorting.

"Where were you?" Melissa hissed.

"Fred was showing me around," Mariela whispered back, "What did I miss?"

"Oh, just me, Ron, and Hermione being sorted into Gryffindor, and you were the first one they called, but you weren't here!"

"S hit!" Mariela said. Suddenly, she saw Mr. Roeder. "Ew! It's Mr. Roeder! And Ew, look! It's Mr. Bell!"

"I noticed," Melissa said.

"Samantha Black!" Ms. Nakathing called out. Samantha sauntered up to the hat and placed it upon her head.

After a few minutes it screamed "SLYTHERIN!" Samantha looked shocked. She wasn't sure if she was supposed to be happy or sad. She had friends in Slytherin, but also in the house's enemy, Gryffindor. Oh well, she thought as she came back into the group of students, At least I'm in the same house as Brigitte... I mean Draco... Yes, of course... Draco... Not Brigitte! Ew!

After the sorting, Ms. Nakathing called out Mariela's name once again. Mariela slowly went up to the hat. Mr. Mathieson watched with silent glee as she fumbled with it. It almost immediately cried out "GRYFFINDOR!"

Mariela sighed in relief, and bounded towards Melissa, Ron, and Hermione. She was grinning happily, and hugged Melissa.

"I'm so freaking happy!" she exclaimed.

They all sat down at the appropriate tables in the Great Hall, but didn't know what to do. The tables were covered in empty dishes. Then suddenly, Ms. Nakathing rose from her chair in the middle of the front of the room.

"She's going to make her hideously boring speech... I always focus on something else when she rambles on about butterflies and working and stuff," Fred whispered to Mariela and Melissa, but mostly to Mariela.

Then, Ms. Nakathing began her speech.
