AN: OMDWG I updated! Crazy huh? It's been too long guys, I apologize. I don't even have a decent excuse I just haven't been inspired. But yeah he's a new chapter! It's quite short again, I'm hoping they'll get longer once we get into the real story. Sorry if there are any errors, I don't really have an excuse again so I'll just say sorry. Anyway I don't really like this chapter especially not the end. It's a bit of a transition chapter. I think the tenses have got really messed up so I'll say now that this happened in Amy's past, the next chapter will start at her fifth year, she's just introducing things here. (Really badly might I add.) So yeah hopefully a real story will develop soon. I just wanted to ask, is Amy becoming a bit Mary Sueish? I hope not but if she is let me know and I'll try to fix that. Also you may gather from this chapter that I'm really bad at describing things and people so you can have your own imagination on what everyone looks like. Erm I think that's everything I wanted to say, so yay :D

Sorting, friend making and four years in a nutshell
I ended up on a separate boat from the boys. Not surprising really, you could tell they'd be best friends instantly. Instead I was in a boat with the red-haired girl and the hook-nosed boy I'd seen earlier along with a blonde girl with a heart shaped face. The read head spoke first "Sorry we didn't really meet before, I'm Lily Evans and this is Severus Snape." She pointed to the greasy haired boy who just ignored me. The blonde girl turned to me "I'm Alice Scott."
"Amy Eastwood." I grinned, my little rant earlier had given me new found confidence. Suddenly the Snape kid looked up at me. Sneering he said "You're muggleborn?"
"Yes." I answered, a hint of anxiety in my voice. "That wont be a problem will it?"
"I don't think so." Lily said "I'm muggleborn too and Sev told me it would be fine, didn't you Sev?" Without looking at Lily he nodded but the leer on his face didn't exactly reassure me.
Whilst we were waiting to be sorted all my confidence drained away. In fact I was so nervous about everybody staring at me, I wasn't paying much attention to my surroundings. Suddenly my name was called and behind me Lily whispered "Good luck!" I was glad that the hat was big enough to cover my eyes, I could pretend that no-one else was there. That illusion was shattered when I heard a few chuckles after I jumped because the hat was talking in my ear. I really wasn't used to magic yet. "Ah Miss Eastwood what have we here? You're fiercely loyal and a great finder, you'd make a brilliant Hufflepuff. But there's something else here, a hidden confidence and courage and my my you've got a sparky little temper haven't you? Yes I think I know exactly where to put you. GRYFFINDOR!" I sighed with relief that it was over and placed the hat back on the stool. I saw James give me a thumbs up and I smiled. As I walked over to the Gryffindor table, a million thoughts ran through my mind. Confidence, courage, me? Really? Yeah that was that rant earlier but that was just by accident, I'm not normally like that. A sparky little temper? But I was just a dorky little girl. I sat next to Sirius who was staring moodily at the table. I tried to think of something to say to him but just then I heard Lily's name being called and I turned away from him to watch my new friend be sorted.
I became friends with all the Gryffindor first years. The girls: Lily, Alice, Marlene and Mary. And the Boys: James, Sirius, Remus, Peter and Frank. However mine and Sirius's friendship was bit odd. I don't even know if you could call it a friendship. It was based entirely on insults and teasing and I'm pretty sure that for the first four years at Hogwarts not once did we speak an actual civil word to each other. Not that that didn't stop me from falling for him. I never said anything though because as he said, "Who would want to date a nerdy, speccy midget like you?"
I don't know why I fell for him really. I mean yes he's good looking but he's also a bit of a prick and I wasn't exactly the girl to fall for that bad boy persona. I never dated anyone else. I'd wanted to. I only fell for Sirius in third year. And even then I knew it wasn't ever going to happen so I should move on and find someone else. But no-one had ever asked me and it was after me complaining about this to the girls one dinnertime (All the girls are beautiful by the way and are never short on offers. Well except Alice who has been dating Frank since fourth year. And maybe Lily because James scares off any of potential suitors much to her annoyance.) that prompted Sirius to say is above comment. And though I tried not to let his jabs hurt me, some of them such as that one did because it was true. But I'm hoping to change that.
