The Great Hall

"Fir's years! Fir's years this way!" a booming voice yelled from behind Al and Scorpius making both boys jump. Al's father had told him that Hagrid was a sight to see. Standing over seven feet tall, he truly was the giant of a man his father had described him as and he was supposed to have tea with this man! At the thought of it he had to stifle a laugh.

"You mus' be Al!" the giant of a man said taking notice of the four first years standing in front of him, "You look jus' like yer da'!" Looking to the other three he said, "Now don' tell meh who you three are, le' me guess." Pointing at Sadie he said, "Now you look jus' like Hermione, you mus' be her daughter." Sadie nodded

"I'm Mercedes Isabella Malfoy. My mum calls me Sadie though." Hagrid looked startled at the idea of Sadie being a Malfoy.

"Malfoy? You mean she didn' marry Ron? I always thought she would. Seemed unavoidable." He said in disbelief. Rose took her opportunity to speak.

"Ron's my Dad. I'm Rosemary Marie Weasley." Hagrid looked her over.

"You look like a lot like Luna Lovegood." He told her. "She'd be yer mum righ'?" Rose squealed.

"Yes, you're right." Hagrid gave her a smile and turned to Scorpius.

"Now you look a lot like Draco Malfoy, is he yer da'? And Sadie is yer sister?" Scorpius nodded curtly.

"Scorpius Draco Malfoy." He said holding out his hand. Hagrid looked a little surprised as he shook it.

"Now, you four get in a boat we need to get yeh to the castle as soon as we can." He told them before continuing with calling for the rest of the 'Fir's years'. Al looked at the little boats and his heart sank. These small worn out boats were supposed to hold all four of them? He didn't think it was possible. Sadie had Al's worried expression on her face. There was no way he was getting on that boat. He voiced his thoughts.

"Albus!" Rose nearly yelled, "We have to get on those boats."

"Unless you'd rather swim across, I'd advise you to get on those boats little bro." a voice said making Al swear in fright, "Now, Al what would Mum think hearing you say those awful words." The same voice laughed a deep loving laugh. Al turned to face Sirius' laughing face. He looked an awful lot like his namesake, the infamous Sirius Black, Azkaban escapee, original marauder, and Harry's Godfather.

"Sirius!" Rose yelled, "I didn't see you earlier! I thought you had already graduated or quit!" Her eyes were wide in surprise.

"Sorry Rosie. I had to meet some mates of mine I hadn't seen all summer." His face turned a suspicious pink. Al took note.

"What he really meant to say is that he had to meet up with the first flavor of the week of the new school year." Al laughed as Sirius smacked him upside his head.

"Maybe I should tell Mum about your filthy little mouth that only tells lies." Sirius glared.

"And maybe I can tell Mum about you shagging up a new girl each week." Al retorted. Sirius' face hardend.

"You little arse. You know I don't shag a new girl each week. It's every other week." He said a smile playing on his face, "and you could learn a thing or two from me, ya know. Now get in the boat before I through you to the giant squid." He laughed seeing the slight fear flicker across Al's face. Al laughed too.

"There's no such thing! James tried to scare me with that, too. I'm not stupid you know." Al retorted. An amused smile played on Sirius' lips.

"Not everything James told you was a lie. Sometimes the little bugger gets a few things right." He said as he turned to walk away. Real fear shone on Albus' face. Quickly and silently he boarded the boat. Across the lake he saw Hogwarts lit up like a firecracker in the night sky. His fear slowly turned into anxiousness, so what if there really was a giant squid, what was inside Hogwarts would truly blow him away.

Much to Al's surprise their really was a giant squid, but in no way was it terrifiying (except for the fact that it was a GIANT SQUID). In fact it picked up a girl two boats over who thought she would be smart and stand up, instead she fell in.

The First years were down a hallway to stop in front of a set of enormous doors. They were greeted by a very strict looking woman.

"I am Headmistress Mcgonagoll. In a few short moments you will be led through these doors and into the Great Hall to be sorted into one of the four houses. I am sure that you are all quite anxious, but please wait out here for just a few more moments. When it is time for you to enter I will send the newly named Head Boy and Head Girl to escort you in." and with that the Headmistress turned and entered the Great Hall.

"I hope that I'm in slytherin" Al heard a small pixie looking girl with jet black hair say, "Don't you?" she asked Al.

"Um, I was hoping to be put in Gryfindor like my father." he told her. The girls face darkened slightly.

"Oh, and who might that be?" she asked with a smirk.

"Harry Potter." Her face brightened as she laughed a small pixie-like laugh. Before the Pixie girl had a chance to say anything else the doors to the Great Hall swung open and the Head Boy and Girl came to lead the 1st years into the vast room.
