Chapter Three: The Sorting
I walked out of the train in the coldest manner possible. I am watching some of the students. They saw me and I know they already labeled me cold and heartless and probably a Slytherin. Oh. I am going to have so much fun here at Hogwarts. I honestly didn't know where to go so I walked up to this big guy, Hagrid I think his name was.
"Hello. Do you know where I should go?" I asked.
"Are you Lily Evans?" the big guy asked.
"Yes" I replied cool and calmly.
"Well I'm Rubeus Hagrid. And you will be taking the normal carriages to Hogwarts. Professor Dumbledore thought that maybe you wouldn't like to ride with the first years on the boat to Hogwarts. Just make sure you find Professor McGonagal when your up at the Castle." Replied Hagrid.
I muttered some sort of goodbye and walked to the threstles. I entered the carriage and began my journey to the castle I will call home for the next few months. Most people can't see them. The people that can see them were considered to have bad luck but if you can see them means you saw somebody die. I f course seen people die, many people die in fact. Due to my fathers 'work' and the way he died. I sometimes feel bad for the threstles. They are feared just because they are not understood. Just like werewolves. Just because someone was bitten by some wolf does not mean that they should be shunned for the rest of their life. People nowadays are so prejudice they don't even realize it. I think it's wrong, Just because somebody is different does not mean you have to treat him or her like a freak. Yippee we are here. I loathe this place already. I walked up to this stern and proper looking woman, I figured her to be Professor McGonagol. I think she hates me already.
"Are you Miss Evans?" Asked the woman.
I can only node my head in reply, my eyes still cold and distant.
"My name is Professor McGonagol and I am the transfiguration teacher here at Hogwarts. I am also the Head of Gryffindor. There are four houses Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin. Any rule breaking will make you lose points and any achievements gain your house points." Said the Professor.
During this whole speech thing all I could do is nod and try to pay attention. I entered the Great Hall with the other first years about to be sorted. Honestly how can you be nervous? Your placed in your house based on you personal qualities. It will be kind of hard to be placed in the wrong house. Speaking of being sorted how are we being sorted. A professor walked in with a raggedy old hat on a stool. Is that it? Note to Self: Look up information on the sorting hat. Then the hat started singing in an off-pitch voice but surprisingly very intriguing. The hat went into detail about the four houses and the sorting started. I knew I would be last so I stood in the back to avoid first years from bumping into me. I kept my cold eyes and expressionless face on the whole time.
The last of the first-years were sorted and Dumbledore stood up and said, "This year we have a new student her name is Lily Evans and she is in the fifth year and from Beaubatons." I heard the whispers about me being a Slytherin already.
Now it's my turn to walk up to the stool and place the hat on over my head. It started to talk to me.
"Hmmm… very interesting. My oh my, the heir of Grindelwald and the heir of the ice queen. Very peculiar. One an image of Evil another an image of pure good. You are a very powerful witch with wisdom beyond your years. You are going to do great things. Most people look at you and see Slytherin but you are a true Gryffindor. You have the biggest heart then anyone I have seen. All your decisions are based of concern for everyone besides you. Don't be afraid to show your true colors Lilliana Catalin. You are the best witch that I have seen in centuries. " Then the hat shouted Gryffindor.
I was greeted by silence. I must have been under the hat for a while. Also people probably marked me as a Slytherin. I walked over to the Gryffindor table and took a seat at the end of the table were nobody sat. This year is going to be interesting.
