Chapter 3

Me and oliver talked all the way back and unlike most of my conversations there were no awkward pauses where no one knew what the hell to say. We talked about mostly qudditch and Oliver said I might have a chance at being the gryffindor seeker. "We're holding try-outs at the beginning of the year you should come I think you have a good chance Oliver said to me as my face showed endless enthusiasm. Soon a little to soon Oliver looked outside and saw that we were nearing Hogwarts. "Better go change before we get there," he said as he got up and grabbed his robes from his trunk, "will you be at the tables or with the first years?" "Ummm... I'll have to get back to you on that I mumbled quite unsure of what to do but I did have one clue I was supposed to find a very tall man is what my father told me before we left. So after the giant locomotive had stopped I set out looking for a huge man. After a few minutes I saw him he was yelling "firs' years over here!" over and over. Here goes nothing I thought to myself. "Hello...?" I asked hesitatingly. "Oh hello there!" he said joyiously. "I'm hagrid and you must be the li'l slytherin girl, you know yer the talk of the castle." "Great!" I murmured sarcastically. Well you'll be in with the other firs' years to get sorted..." he trailed off, getting distracted by a couple first years who were looking at each other murderously. Once we got to the castle I couldn't stop staring at... Well everything! It was all so ancient and old. Then a couple minutes after Hagrid left us a rather stern looking teacher came in and told us to line up in alphabetical order. After having a row with a first year whose last name was slythma about who should go first in line (I won... I love winning!) she led us out where we saw about a thousand students staring curiously. One particularly shy student actually screamed and ran off stage (probably to vomit...). Then we spotted a large very tattered hat and the same thought ran through all of our heads "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT HERE FOR!" and then our questions were answered for that wretched hat on the stool in front of the hat opened a rip on the front of it and started to sing. After the song was done the sorting hat resumed being sorting hat and then professor McGonagall (the stern looking teacher) started reading out names and each one came forth put the hat on their head and seconds after the hat would call out a name (slytherin hufflepuff gryffindor or ravenclaw) and the great hall would clap. Finally my turn came I sat on the stool and placed the sorting hat delicately upon my head and waited. Suddenly a voice was in my head. "Well well well little miss slytherin..." it said evilly "Look before you do anything I want to tell you not to put me in slytherin... Pleeeeaaase" I said hurriedly. "Well I don't think you'd make a good slytherin your not very cunning... Better be GRYFFINDOR!" he shouted to the great hall... Silence... No clapping or anything. Then to voices spoke up from the gryffindor table. "Bloody hell I bet no one was expecting that!" the voice said "Yeah Fred right i mean what the camel!" said a different voice and with that most of the great hall burst into laughter when at last the laughter died down. The voice came again "What I was just trying out a new expression!" This time I figured out where the voice was coming from and I was shocked. The voice came from the most beautiful boy I had ever seen. He was a ginger with hair that was silky and shiny. The soft sprinkled freckles upon his face were absolutely adorable. And wow what a smile he had the CUTEST dimples one side of his smile rose slightly higher than the other. His flaws were so perfectly imperfect. And conveniently he was sitting across from Angelina so I had an excuse to go sit near him. "Hey there" said Angelina still out of breath from giggling. "Hi!" I giggled shyly. "Scarlet this is Fred," She pointed to the other identical red head that had spoken first,"And this George." she pointed to the identical twin. The amazingly handsome one. "Nice to meet you slytherin." they said together holding out their hands. I shook Freds and then George. Wow it was like electricity ran between us! Oh wait that was just an static I thought as he pulled his hand quickly away in shock of the zap. Meanwhile dumbledore was blabbing on about something or another then after a few more meaningless words food appeared and until then I hadn't how hungry I was. The whole time however I restrained myself from going into full on eating mode because I knew I was being closely watched by every single gryffindor and the last thing I wanted was to look like a complete idiot in front of everyone! Then, that beautiful magical voice spoke to me (and no not the one from above the one from across the table) "So," George said in that wonderful marvelous heavenly voice, "why did you want to be in gryffindor?". Oh damn their gonna think im stupid! "cmon we don't bite." Fred cooed trying to get me to talk. "Well I don't but I can't make any promises for Fred over here he has a history of bitings..." George joked around. "Well..." I panicked. No no no no don't panic scarlet no no no! But it was to late I had already burst into a fit of giggles. They all looked at me wide eyed "hehe..." I tried to make the situation less awkward but to no avail. "That was... Odd." Lee Jordan voiced what everyone was thinking
