Dear diary,
When we finally arrived at Hogsmeade station I was so excited that it took me a whole lot of effort to keep my head cool. I noticed that Albus looked nervous. I grabbed his hand and gave him a little squeeze. He gave me a thankful look. I could feel him relax behind me when Hagrid started walking towards us. He greeted us with his usual enthusiasm and led all the first years to the boats. Albus and I said goodbye to James before we went after Hagrid.
I was glad when I heard that I sat in a boat with Albus and Hagrid. With us was the pale boy, he sat at the far end of the boat and stared into the water. He ignored us completely. When I asked Hagrid in a whispering tone who he was, Hagrid said that he was Scorpius Malfoy, son of Draco Malfoy. He came from a family of Slytherins and death eaters. I've heard of death eaters before. Mum and dad had told us some stories of the dark war, but not the whole story, they didn't want to scare us.
When we finally reached the shore, we said goodbye to Hagrid, but not before he invited us for tea on Thursday. Mum and dad had warned us about Hagrid's food, I decided to ask for some scones and biscuits at the kitchen on Thursday.
From the edge of my eye, I could see Scorpius walk towards the far end of the group. I felt pity for the boy, he looked lost and not like anything I've heard about the Malfoys.
I was so lost in thoughts that I didn't notice that the group had begun walking and Albus had to nudge my arm to shake me out of my thoughts.
Finally inside, I was starting to get nervous. This time, it was Albus who grabbed my hand and offered me support, and in return, I gave him a thankful smile. Again my eyes drifted towards Scorpius, I wanted to go to him and start a conversation, but when I finally found the courage to walk to him, professor McGonagall started leading us to the great hall.
Albus and I had a little conversation about where we wanted to be sorted in. Albus really wanted to be sorted into Gryffindor, I can't blame him. He is the son of Harry Potter, one of the most famous Gryffindor of all time.
I reassured him that he will be sorted into Gryffindor. When he asked in which house I wanted to be sorted in, I had to think about my answer. I would like to be sorted in Gryffindor, but Ravenclaw wouldn't be too bad either. I told Albus that I didn't mind any of the houses, then I joked about how I would be disclaimed by my father if I ended in Slytherin. Albus didn't seem to like the joke, it made him even more nervous. The joke was a bad decision, but before I could say anything else, Albus got called by professor McGonagall. He shot me a nervous glance and I patted him on the back before he walked clumsily to the stool.
The good news, he didn't need to be at the center of attention for too long, the sorting hat called out Gryffindor after 3 seconds or bad news, he was so relieved he stumbled down the stairs and landed face first at the head of the Gryffindor table. He smiled it off and sat down quickly next to James. .
After Albus left for the Gryffindor table, I started to look around for Scorpius. When I couldn't find him in the group of students, I looked towards the Slytherin table. There he was, sitting awkwardly with some other Slytherins. He didn't seem to like the coronation. Once again I felt pity for him.
When it was finally my turn, I tried to walk up to the stool with confidence, I'm sure I failed.
It was weird to hear the hat inside my head. I asked who had spelled him, and he said that I could be a Ravenclaw with my intelligence but that I would fit the best in Gryffindor. I thanked the hat and wished him a good day, He said that I had good manners and that I was the first in years to have said that. On my way towards the Gryffindor table I realized that the poor hat might be lonely, he only comes out once a year.
When I had reached the table I sat down next to Albus and James, James introduced me to some of his friends, who I greeted with a smile. When the food finally appeared, I noticed how hungry I actually was. The food was so good, I kept refilling my plate. I've rarely had tasted such good food. I mean, mom cooks well, but she'd better with books and spells.
When we were walking to the dorms, I bumped into Malfoy. We locked eyes for a second and continue walking after the we arrived at the Gryffindor tower, I bid everyone goodnight and walked towards the showers. I took a shower, greeted my new roommates, wrote my parents a letter and I'm going to sleep in my new bed. There's a big day ahead.
I hope you enjoyed it. I'll update soon 3
