Chapter 4

AN: No songs this chapter :(

It's for plot purposes, everything that happens in this chapter is REALLY important.

Hope you enjoy! Still waiting for my first review...

Disclaimer: Only own my OCs and versions of the plot.

We had arrived at Hogwarts.

I quickly sped off the train leaving Lily and Severus behind as I wanted to be first off in my first year.

Just as I was about to be first odd however I bumped into a girl.

She looked very young, curly brown hair and brown eyes.

"What's your problem?" She shouted at me and I immediately felt guilty.

"I wanted to be first off since its my first year."

She looked at me for a moment before smiling.

"It's my first year too, and I had the same intention."

I thought for a moment before saying-

"How about we do it together?"

She grinned at me and nodded.

We linked arms, and hopped off the train together.

There I was, my first steps of Hogwarts territory.

It would not be my last.*

The girl smilied at me before saying,

"My name is Evelyn."

I hesitated a moment before responding.

"My name is Jame."

Her eyes widened.

"You must be the musical magician then! I heard your song on the train and it sounded very nice! Alot of people were talking about it on the way here!"

I smilied at her and nodded.

I then remembered that I had to speak with Dumbledore under Minnie's orders.

I excused myself from Evelyn and quickly ran off.

I heard a rather large man calling for first years.

I ran up to him and spoke quickly.

"Ineedtoseeprofessordumbledore!"

"Wha is it's?" Was what I heard for him. He had a bit of an accent.

"Professor Mcgonagall told me that when I got to Hogwarts I would need to speak with Professor Dumbledore."

The man smilied at me softly before saying-

"You'e wil talke to him after th sorting."

I nodded and went and found Lily.

"Where were you?"

"I had to talk to that man, as I pointed to the large man."

"His name is Hagrid."

I looked at Lily with wonder before she continued.

"He was with Dumbledore when they told me."

I nodded and followed Lily to the boats.

I sat in the boat, next to Lily and Severus.

Hagrid had an entire boat to himself as he led the way, and I noticed two boats back was James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter all sitting together.

I then looked at the castle.

It was beautiful, the lights exclaimed out of the castle and brightened up everything. The stone of the castle reflected the moon light.

I noticed tonight was a quarter crescent moon.

We than arrived on the other side of the lake and Hagrid led us into the castle where we came across a rather large stairway and Hagrid told us to wait here.

Lily looked nervous and was shaking, I poked her and she looked at me and smilied.

"How can you be so composed?"

I smiled before replying.

"It's what I do!"

Then from the top of the staircase Minnie appeared.

"If I can have your attention please-"

Everyone quieted down.

"As you enter the hall you will be sorted into one of the four houses.

Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, RavenClaw, and Slytherin."

She then smiled before saying,

" Your house will be your family here. Treat them well."

Then we all followed her into the Great Hall. Candles up, levitating; four tables, and banners everywhere before I saw the man, Dumbledore.

I felt uneasy again, as if he I was suddenly crushed underneath his power. Suddenly we all stopped walking.

Minnie held a list of names, and then began to call them out.

"Potter, James!"

James quickly stepped forward as Minnie placed the sorting hat on his head, the hat talked for a bit about courage this and family that, before proclaiming," GRYFFINDOR!"

The Gryffindor table applauded as Minnie kept calling out names.

"Snape, Severus!"

Severus walked up and the hat sat for a moment before proclaiming,

"SLYTHERIN!"

The Slytherin table applauded as well as Lily, even I gave two claps.

"Lupin, Remus!"

Remus went up and the sorting hat was silent on his head, finally the hat yelled out- "GRYFFINDOR!"

The Gryffindor table applauded as Minnie kept calling out names.

"Peters, Evelyn!"

Suddenly the girl I took my first steps with went under the sorting hat.

The hat took a moment before then shouting out- "GRYFFINDOR!"

I smilied at her and clapped.

"Pettigrew, Peter!"

The nimble boy timidly walked up to the hat.

The sorting hat then proclaimed

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Many people were surprised but clapped.

"Black, Sirius!"

Sirius then walked up to the hat, he took a look at James, Peter ad Remus and then sat down.

"Oh? What's this a black are you? I know just where to put you! But wait, what's this... Hmmm it's all here... Inside your head. Must mean..-

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Everyone in the room was shocked but then everyone except the Slytherins applauded Sirius.

Minnie then called out a bunch of other names, none truly meant anything to me.

Finally- "Evans, Lily!"

Lily looked at me and I smilied at her encouragingly. She managed to smile and walk up. The hat then shouted,

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Clapping came but I looked at Severus, he looked crushed, and hurt, badly; but refused to show it for longer than a few seconds to clap for his friend.

Minnie than called out another name.

"Prewitt, Alice!"

She was the second to last person; me being last, and the hat then shouted out, "GRYFFINDOR!"

She ran down to sit next to a second year boy and somehow, I knew they would be together in the end.

Minnie saw me and then smilied before calling my name, "Jame!"

I went up and their were mumblings around the tables. One because a last name wasn't called for me, and two because they all had heard me on the train.

Minnie smilied at me as I sat down.

She placed the sorting hat on me and he began to speak, not just to me, but loud, for everyone in the great hall to hear.

"Oh? What's this? I don't believe it?

Such, such raw power for a first year! Untapped into, but yet, the potential to become perhaps one of the more powerful wizards in history!"

The hat paused for a second and every eye was on me, no one expected that, not even me.

"You have the qualities of all four houses. And then you have things that push you away from certain houses. Your Loyalty is unmatched, greater than most Hufflepuffs, but it's a different type of loyalty. Your incredibly wise, however not the right type of smart for RavenClaw, your power is immense, but no ambition to use it for anything except... The pursuit of wisdom, loyalty, and friends and family.

You have powerful courage, and an amazing natural talent for arts..."

But the question is where to put you...

I glanced at Lily who was staring at me in awe and Evelyn who was beaming at me.

"Oh? Is that so? Then I guess there is only one house to put you in!

GRYFFINDOR!"

I smiled and Minnie was clapping, all of Gryffindor table was applauding me while the other houses clapped, with less enthusiasm. I went to the Gryffindor table and looked at the teachers who were applauding still, Minnie, Hagrid, An older looking man with hair just turning grey, almost bald, and Dumbledore.

For the rest of the feast no one truly talked to me, only small talk, such as "pass this" or "pass that."

As the feast ended and we were being dismissed I walked to Dumbledore.

"You wished to speak to me sir?"

He smilied before saying, "it can wait till tomorrow. Get some rest."

I then followed Lily and went inside the Gryffiondore Commonroom. It was nice; as much as a home as I've ever seen. (Besides Lily's house)

I then walked up to a room and found my trunk of belongings up there. Inside the room with me, I noticed, were James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter.

I could tell, this Hogwarts Experience would be like nothing I've ever experienced before.
