New Girl Chapter 2

Rose, and I are standing outside the great hall with all the other first years. We are quite a sight with our soaking robes and dripping hair. Of course Rose and i would be the ones to fall in the water. I'm shivering quite ferociously at this point and i am so thankful when Rose cast a quick drying spell. I send her a look of thanks before returning my attention to the lecture we are receiving.

Professor Longbottom (its so weird to call him that) is standing in front of us talking about the houses and rules.

Annie, who managed to stay dry, has left us to go see with Headmaster McGonagall. Something about being sorted privately. I wish I could be sorted privately. Wait did Professor Longbottom just say my name?

"Mr. Potter I think it would be wise if you listened to what I'm saying." Neville said, but smiled and explained that he'd just used my dad as an example for the Gryffindor house of which he was head. " Of course I almost was placed into Huffelpuff myself I still can't place why I was put in Gryffindor."

"What are you talking about Professor your brave? I mean look what you did to old Voldy's snake." The other first years including Rose all flinched when I said Voldy. I mean really he died twice it's not like he could ever come back to life.

"Mr. Potter thank you for reminding us all of that battle." Longbottom says and now I blush feeling really guilty. Whenever I bring that up my dad get all quiet and my mom cries about my dead uncle and our other various dead relatives.

"Sorry professor." I mutter blushing more fiercely. Behind me Scorpious snickers.

"That's perfectly fine Albus, but next time just remember yourself before you try and defend someone." Neville says and my blush softens. God why did I have to get the Weasley blushing genes? James didn't. Oh no when James was embarrassed he could just laugh it off, but not me.

"Alright I have just been signaled we are to go in. Come along." Professor Longbottom says as he opens the doors to the Great Hall and Rose squeezes my hand.

Rose's point of view

The Great Hall is huge and the night sky is so enchanting I can't help but gaze at it. I look over at the tables and see Annie sitting at the Ravenclaw table. Yeah she seems like a Ravenclaw to me. I mean she was reading on the train. Even my mom didn't do that until after the train started moving.

I scan the rest of the hall and my eyes catch James's eyes he sends me a comforting smile. Then when Albus when isn't looking in our directions he mouths to me "did you do it?" I nod and try and suppress a giggle as the image of Albus opening his trunk and finding three pink bras at the top of his trunk. It is even funnier because the bras were prank bras and when Albus touches them he will turn the exact same shade pink as the bras.

"How?" James mouths just as a girl is sorted into Huffelpuff. I think her last name began with a P which means Albus is next.

Before Albus gets called up I send James a smirk that says there is no way I'm telling you.

"Albus Potter." Headmaster McGonagall calls and a surprisingly calm looking Albus walks up to the hat. How can he be so calm? I mean inside I'm freaking out, but Albus just looks happy. Our whole family is or was in Gryffindor Teddy, Victoria, James, and our parents.

Wait is he talking to the hat? Oh my God he is. What could he be…

"Gryffindor." The hat yells cutting off my thought. I look over at Albus giving him a congratulations smile as the Gryffindor table roars with applause. Albus walks over and sits with some other first years I have yet to meet.

Soon Headmaster McGonagall starts calling names again and I lose interest. I look around the hall and my eye catches Scorpious Malfoy's. He sends me a smirk and I send him one right back. I'm not going to wimpy in front of Malfoy. It was his father who sent my mother so many cruel comments.

I look up to the front of the hall as the headmaster calls my name. I put on a mask of indifference as I walk up towards the hat.

"Oh another Weasley." The hat says and I jump at the sound of its voice, "Well let's have a look. You are brave, kind, intelligent, and sneaky. Where to put you oh were to put you? Not Huffelpuff no not Huffelpuff. Your brain is cunning and eager to learn, but books only hold so much interest to you. Where to put you where to put you?"

"Just place me where I will do the best." I think.

"Alright then it better be ….."
