N/A: I still do not own any of this. I'm sorry that Hagrid's speech is not right. I just left it. Again I'm sorry but the only version I have on me is the Spanish one I bought in Mexico for references while writing this in Mexico.
Lily stepped off the train as it screeched to a stop at Hogsmade Station.
"Wow," she muttered looking at the sight of the castle on the horizon.
"It really is beautiful, isn't it?" said Maddi as she jumped off the train behind her.
"Yeah…."
In the distance a deep voice was heard beckoning the youngest students towards it.
"First years, first years!"
Maddi and Lily walked towards the voice. A large man with thick black hair and a matching beard was seen driving the students towards the lake.
"Maybe we have to swim to Hogwarts?" suggested Maddi.
However, as they approached the lake they saw about a half a dozen four person boats designed to take them up to the castle. The two girls sat in a boat along with a boy who vaguely reminded Lily of a rat.
"Four to a boat!" yelled the giant to a group who was trying to squeeze a fifth person in their boat.
Suddenly a group of four students came running up to the boats, panting, out of breath. Lily instantly recognized the first two as Addy and James. The other two were both boys. One had sandy blonde hair and the other had black locks that hung perfectly around his face. The three boys sat in a boat with another girl with chin length hair.
"Addy come on, sit over here!" called the boy with perfect black hair.
"Are you death!" she yelled back, "Four to a boat! Besides, I feel if I spend another minute with you boys my IQ will go drastically down, and James, you know I can't afford that. I'd like to have an intellectually stimulating conversation over here," she finished pointing at the boat where Lily, Maddi and the rat-faced boy were sitting.
"With that boy?" questioned the boy in the next boat. He had long blonde hair that was slicked back with an unnecessarily large amount of hair gel. "That boy looks like he has the mental capability of a five year old."
"Well, you should know first hand that if we were all as dumb as we look then it would be a medical miracle that you can walk and talk at the same time. Besides, I think this boy is charming." Lily suddenly felt that she liked this girl much more. She could have come up with something like that to say. Charming was the last word that came to her mind when she thought of this lump of a boy, and she could tell Addy thought on about the same lines.
"You know it was a good thing you sat over there. You and my blood traitor cousin can be best friends!"
"I think she has a very different idea of what a blood traitor is."
"Oh, now that you're away from mommy you hired her to talk for you. Tell me, does she think for you too?" the blonde haired boy said to Maddi.
"Since when does your opinion matter?" Addy snapped before Maddi could open her mouth.
"Since when does yours?" he snapped back.
"My opinion always matters!"
"Oh, aren't we arrogant?"
"Yes, we are."
"Who are you, some rich girl?" he asked, sneering.
"Don't you remember me, Malfoy? I'm Addy, the orphan."
"No you're not!" screeched the sandy-haired boy, "You said he's your brother!"
"You were listening Remus!" said Addy looking around at the boy.
"Everyone was listening! You too were shouting!" the black haired boy yelled.
"James, my best friend in the world," she said, "You get to explain this one!" James just rolled his eyes and turned to Remus. Addy sat down and the boats began to move.
"So, you must be the blood traitor," she said to Maddi, who simply nodded in response, "And I already know you're muggleborn, Lily right?" she asked turning towards Lily.
"Yeah"
"Cool, and I'm an orphan. We should start a club. The disgrace to the name of wizards club, or the Scum Club!" Addy dramatically placing her hand to her heart, "I pledge allegiance, to the dirt and the scum, that I am, and will remain the grime that dirties this perfect wizarding world." She then stood up to take a bow.
However, you are not supposed to stand up on boats. As soon as she stood up she could feel herself stumbling over, Lily stood up to help her balance herself. The result was that they both fell into the icy cold water.
Maddi screamed. Neither girl surfaced.
"I don't think they know how to swim!" yelled Remus.
Suddenly James stood up and jumped head first into the lake. He was actually quite relived. Having to go save these two meant he didn't have to explain anything to Remus just yet. He went under to find Addy trying to pull Lily out of a tangle of seaweed. He grabbed onto the girls body and help Addy pull her out of the water.
All three surfaced. Gasping for air, Lily and Addy were pulled back into their boat by Maddi while Sirius pulled James back into his boat.
"Thank you," Lily stuttered hugging Addy.
"Yeah, well, James did most of the work," she admitted, "Besides it was my stupid fault we fell in in the first place. I'm sorry I've just never been on a boat before! I didn't know we weren't allowed to stand."
The girls laughed. They discussed little oddities on the rest of their journey up to the Castle.
The giant, who's name turned out to be Hagrid, gave Addy and Lily his coat for the two of them to wrap up in. James, however, claimed he was fine, even though he was obviously shivering from head to toe.
Lily began to think maybe he was different than her first impression.
"He's kind of chivalrous," Lily whispered to Addy.
"Are we talking about the same James?" she asked, "Well, I guess he can be. He won't let anything hurt his friends," she added truthfully.
Professor McGonagall led the first years into the great hall. As they entered whispers were carried around the hall.
"What happened to you?" asked a boy at the Hufflepuff table.
Before Lily was able to answer, Addy yelled-
"We fell into the lake!" Professor McGonagall gave her a disapproving look. "No, it's true," she continued, "And I saw a giant squid!" Professor McGonagall just rolled her eyes. She grabbed a hat and placed it on a stool. Now it is time for your sorting.
Addy and Sirius exchanged a glance.
"Dragons, Dragons, Dragons!" they began to chant.
Lily rolled her eyes and listened to McGongalls speech. When she finished Addy and Sirius looked outraged!
"What! That's it?" yelled Sirius
"No Dragons!" yelled Addy
"That's rubbish! RUBBISH!" they both yelled.
Professor McGonagall glared at them but Professor Dumbledor looked as if he was about to laugh.
Professor McGonagall began to read the list of names.
"Black, Sirius"
Sirius walked up to the hat and placed it on his head.
Before the hat was able to say anything to him, Sirius began.
"Alright listen hat. Before you go yelling Slytherin, I have something to tell you. I do not belong in Slytherin. I have written a long list of reasons why I do not belong there and would be happy to recite them if you see any doubt and believe I should be in Slytherin"
"Boy," said the hat, "I wouldn't dream of putting you there,"
GRYFFINDOR!
Sirius took a bow and sat down in the middle of the Gryffindor table.
"Narrisca, Black!"
Addy went up on her tiptoes to see over the other students, trying in vain to get a glimpse of this other Black. She wondered why Sirius hadn't mentioned her before. However, the hat answered that question for her a moment later.
SLYTHERIN!
"Bones, Amelia!"
A girl with short curly black hair stood up and made her way towards the stool. She sat down quickly on the stool, taking a deep breath before disappearing behind the hat.
A moment later the hat shouted-
GRYFFINDOR!
Crabbe, became a Slytherin followed by, Amos Diggory, a Hufflepuff, and then Edgecombe became a Ravenclaw.
"Evans, Lily!"
Lily took a deep breath. She walked up to the stool and put the hat on.
"Aye, Ms. Evans," Lily gasped out loud at the hat talking in her ear. "Yes I know your name, I can see into your deepest thoughts, and it's all written here. Some may question why you are not in Ravenclaw, but it's not for you, no, no you're much better suited for-
GRYFFINDOR!
"The world needs more heroes like you," the hat whispered to her as she took it off and went to sit across from Sirius.
"Gudgeon, Davy!"
HUFFLEPUFF!
"Lupin, Remus!"
Remus walked up to the stool and put the hat on.
"Yes, my little wolf! I've heard of you! There's only one place for you-
GRYFFINDOR!
"Mae, Addison"
Addy ran up to the front and took a bow before placing the hat on her head. It fell way past her ears and supported itself on her shoulders.
"Addy Mae," the hat started.
"Ahh a talking hat!" Addy yelled, to everyone's pleasure out loud!
"Ahh a talking girl!" said the hat sarcastically.
"Hey don't get that attitude with me!"
"Wow, you'd be perfect in Slytherin!"
"No, no, no, don't go there with me patches! I'm Gryffindor so just shout Gryffindor so I can be on my way!"
GRYFFINDOR!
"Stupid hat," Addy muttered finding her seat next to Lily, who moved over so she could be across from Sirius.
"Malfoy, Lucius!"
The hat barely touched his head before it screamed-
SLYTHERIN!
"McKinnon, Madison!"
Maddi walked up to the stool and slipped the hat over her head.
"Complex person I have here, your family line would say Slytherin, but your mother, she was a Ravenclaw. I'm sorry to tell you that you didn't inherit her intellect, but you have her defiance."
GRYFFINDOR!
Maddi sat down next to Lily and another boy. He was older and had a badge on his chest that was imprinted with a large P.
"I'm Kingsley, Kingsley Shaklebolt. I'm the Gryffindor Prefect. Welcome to Gryffindor!" he said shaking her hand.
"Pettigrew, Peter!"
Addy immediately recognized hi9m as the rat faced boy from the boat. The hat sat on his head for a very long time. His knees were bumping against each other.
Finally the hat shouted
GRYFFINDOR!
Next a pair of twins Gideon and Fabian Prewette became Ravenclaws.
"Potter, James!"
"Hmmm, Let's see plenty of courage, not a bad mind either, but no, not Ravenclaw material-
GRYFFINDOR!
James went and sat next to Sirius across from Lily. They all congratulated him.
The sorting ceremony was almost over now. Roiser became a Slytherin, Stebbins was placed in Hufflepuff and finally Vance became a Ravenclaw.
Dumbledor stood up and the whole hall became silent.
"Welcome everyone back to another year a Hogwarts! I would like the first years to note that no student is allowed to set foot inside the forbidden forest," he started.
"Duh," said Addy, perhaps a little two loudly, "Why else would they name it the forbidden forest!" earning herself yet another glare from Professor McGonagall.
"Also I would like to introduce to you all our new Defense against the dark arts teacher, Professor Piggly!"
Around her Addy could see many of the students trying in vain to suppress their laughter as Professor Piggly, a scrawny man with a mustache that seemed much too large for his face.
"Now," continued Professor Dumbledor, "tuck in!" Suddenly a large feast appeared right in front of them. The students laughed and ate while discussing their families and what they did before they came here. All too soon Dumbledor announced that the feast was over and it was time for the students to get to bed. Kingsley Shaklebolt and Alice Bones, Amelia's older sister, gathered the first years together and made their way up to the Gryffindor tower. Before they even made it up to the marble staircase, two Slytherin Prefects and the first years they were taking down to the dungeon dormitories ambushed them.
"What do you want McNair?" asked Kingsley sharply to the boy prefect.
"Nothing, just taking my students to the dorms," McNair responded coolly.
'Well in that case, I'm sorry to have to inform you that you are going the wrong way," Alice sneered, pointing in the other direction.
"Yes but we couldn't help but show the ikle firsties the importance of blood," said the female prefect, looking over the first year Gryffindors, "I can see they are still letting muggleborns in. Pity,"
"Come on, kids," said Alice sharply, "we're leaving." The Gryffindors turned to make their way up the marble staircase.
As she turned around Lily bumped into an unexpecting Servous Snape.
"Oh, sorry," she apologized.
"Watch where your going mudblood!" he said, a little two loudly causing Alice Bones to look behind her. In a second her wand was out in a threatening position at Servous Snape.
"If I ever hear you say that to another student again, I will have you writing lines until your hand falls off!" she threatened, "Now apologize to Lily!"
Snape jus snorted and walked back over to the Slytherin group, muttering that he would never apologize to a worthless muggle. Alice led the group up to their dormitory and parted with them at their separate rooms. Their stuff had already been brought up. Addy charged towards a bed screaming- "I call the bed by the window!"
Lily and Maddi took beds next to each other that had a coffee table in between them to keep midnight reading supplies. That left Amelia Bones to the bed nearest the door. Before bed that girls put stuff up in their room to make it feel more like home.
Maddi plastered fashion posters all over the walls that she had collected from various magazines. Amelia Bones had brought a Disco Nightlight for when they had sleepovers that she placed in the middle of the room and Lily had a calendar to mark off special dates.
Addy didn't have anything to add to the collection so she began entertaining them with anecdotes from some of her and James's past pranks.
As she got bored she began fingering a ring on her right hand.
"What is that?" asked Lily, looking at her ring.
"I don't know," Addy said, "I've had it all my life. It's a quarter moon right now. The ring always changes with the stages of the moon."
"Cool!" said Maddi coming in for a closer look. After that the girls pulled down their curtains and fell into a dreamless sleep, except Addy. Addy waited until she was positive that all the other had gone to sleep. She then went up to the ledge of the window and prayed softly,
Starlight, Star bright, First star I see tonight
I wish I may I wish I might, Have the wish I wish tonight.
N/A: I'm excited for the next chapter! everyone ofiically knows everyone elses name!
