"Potter, Lily" Proffesor Longbottom said.

It felt like the sorting had gone on forever. Lily had been standing in line half listening to Proffesor Longbottom calling names and the sorting hat announcing what house the student will be in. Lily walked toward the front of the Great Hall, sat on the stool, plopped the hat on her head, and waited. She could hear all the students in the room get silent and the burst out into loud whispers. Lily only heard a few bits and pieces of their conversations.

"That's HARRY POTTER's daughter!"

"Really that's her?"

"That's MY sister," nice James.

Then she heard a voice in her ears.

"Hmmm another Potter. I see you have your father's bravery, your mother's temper and beauty, and both your parent's intellegence. So I think i'll have to put you in..."

GRYFFINDOR!" The Sorting Hat debated in Lily's head. Then the Gryffindor table erupted in cheers as Lily hopped off the stool at practically ran to her new house. Later, Hugo was also sorted into Gryffindor and the whole school enjoyed an amazing feast. Once everyone had eaten their weight in food, Headmistress McGonagall stood up and cleared her throat.

"I'd like to welcome everyone back to another year at Hogwarts, as well as our first years. I know this ia going to be a great year." The headmistress started. After some more announcements, McGonagall dismissed the students to their houses for the rest of the night.

Lily followed the Gryffindor prefect (her cousin, Dominique) toward the Gryffindor dorms. 30 minutes later, Lily was sitting in the Gryffindor common room with Rose, Albus, Hugo, Madi, and Brad.

"So, what do you think so far? Isn't this school just amazing? I think that it's amazing!" Madi said very cheerily. Lily resisted the urge to roll her eyes at Madi's peppy attitude.

"I'm not sure yet, it's the first day..." Lily said. The conversation went on like that for a while. Madi saying something cheerfully and Lily replying awkwardly. Until the kids went to their dorm rooms.

Lily walked into her dorm and saw four other first year Gryffindor girls getting settled in.

After everyone intruduced themselves, Lily knew, Nora, Sarah, Jessa, and Olivia. It had been a long day so Lily went straight to bed, dreaming about what the next day will bring for her.

The next morning, Lily woke up before everyone else. She showered and got dressed in her new school robes. When she got back to the dorm room, all her roomates were up and getting ready.

"Hey! You're up early. Ready for our first day of classes?" Olivia said happily while sitting on her bed looking at her new potions book.

"Yes I'm ready! Are you kidding me? I've been waiting for this moment since I was like three!" Lily replied and all the girls started laughing.

"I wonder if the classes are going to be hard?" Sarah said a little panicky.

"My sister said they were extremely hard and that we are expected to know everything already. She's a third year so she knows like everything." Nora said.

"I'm pretty sure your sister was lying. I have two brothers and five cousins who all go here. And two cousins who are graduated and all of them said that the first day is easy." Lily reassured her roomates. Once all the girls were done getting ready, they left their room and went down to the common room.

After eating an amazing breakfast, Proffesor Longbottom handed out the schedules for the year. Lily looked over her schedule. All the first year schedules were the same. Today was:

Potions

Defense Against the Dark Arts

Lunch

History of Magic

Herbology

Once dismissed from breakfast, Lily and the rest of the first years made there way to the dungeons for their first Potions' lesson.
