Bleeding Heart
Chapter 11:
Hermione pov:
Disclaimer; dont own anything!
After I tracked down Neville, we went from compartment to compartment. We asked if they saw a toad by any chance, and every time we came up with nothing.
I then sugested we split up, so we can cover more ground. I walked into the compartment with the lonly black haired boy, acept this time one of the red heads, with the plump mother was with him.
"Escuse me have you happened to have seen a toad?" I asked.
The red headed looked over at me with a mean look, and said "we already told him no."
I saw the wand in his hand, and said "oh, are you doing magic? Well, lets see then."
He cleared his throat, and then said "sunshine daisys, cotten mellow, turn this stupid fat rat yellow." He then started to..well... it looked like he was beating the rat over the head.
"Stop, stop, stop. Was that a really spell? Well, its not very good is it. I've only tryed a few simole spells myself."
I moved farther into the compartment, and sat in front of the black haired boy.
"For example, ocleous reparo," I said while giving my wand a wand made a zaping nosie, and then the crack in his glasses went away.
"There thats better isn't it," I said "you should probly get your robes on. we'll be there soon," I said.
I stopped at a few more compartments, and then ran into Neville.
We worked together, and stopped at about three more. After that Neville told me just to go back to my friends. Since I didn't really have any friends to go back to, I just wandered about. I went to find the gray-haired lady peddling her sweets.
"Two chocolate frogs please," I told the women, after I tracked her down.
She handed me the candy, and started to announce the trolly.
"Excuse me, are you Hermione?" a feminine voice.
I turned around, and saw a pale, blonde hair girl.
"Yes, I am. I'm sorry, what's your name again?" I asked.
The girl smiled kindly, and said "Ryhanna. Would you like to come sit with us?"
"I would love to," I told her. I was honestly relived.
We walked to her cabin and inside were three girls. On of the girls had long brown hair, and looked nice. Her name was Cierra, she was in Gryffendor. Another girl had curly dark hair, and looked kind of upset. Her name was Jacce, she was also in Gryffendor. The last girl had dirty blonde hair, and was slightly over weight. Her name was Airabella, she was Ravenclaw.
Once we sat down, Ryhanna introduced me. Then we started to argue about something extremely important. Boys.
"But in Gryffendor the guys there will be less likely to cheat on you!" said Cierra.
"Yea, but the hot one, are usually in Slytherins!" replied Jacee.
"But the romantic ones are in Hufflepuff," said Airabella.
After about an hour of arguing, we decided to agree to disagree. We then talked about school, I found out that they were going into there second year. We talked about a guy that cheated on Jacee, and then is trying to make her life hell. I'm beginning to think that guys don't ever mature.
The train let out a whistle, and came to a slow halt. The girls lead me out side the compartment. I told them I would talk to. Them soon, considering I had to go get my bag.
I made my way to the back of the train, when I ran into a tall guy with a badge on his chest.
"Where are you going?" he asked me.
"To get my trunk," I said after I stepped away from him.
He smiled, and then said "the house elves will get it, and put it into your room. Once your sorted."
"Thank you," I said kindly. I headed down the coridorwalked off the train.
"First years, first years. Over here," yelled a big hairy man. I slowly made my way over, slightly scared of the man.
Once everyone, but the first years left. The man yelled "to the boats!"
We walked for about five minutes, and then came to a lake. There were makeshift brown boats, sitting in the dark rocking water.
We filled the boats with five people, but the hairy man named Hagrid, needed one by himself. Once we settled into the boats, they started tomove on their own.
It was completely dark. The boats turned to the left. I looked over, and saw budge trees taller then hagrid by a long shot. I saw a creature peeking his head out of the forest watching us. The forest started to slip out of my vision without turning my head uncomfortably. Lights were shining on the water. I looked up and saw the most beautiful thing. The castle was huge there were several towers that reached to the hevens. The castle it's self sat on a huge cliff. There isn't even enough words, that could describ how beautiful it was here.
To soon we pulled up to the shore of the cliff. Their was about a hundred steps leading to the castle. As soon as I got out Hagrid told us to head up. I quickly took the steps. Once I was up, a old women stood proud and tall in front of me. She had a tight bun, that held back her graying hair. She held her hands behind her back.
"Oh, Professor McGonagal. There all yours," said Hagrid out of breath.
The women turned around, and lead us into castle. We passed; staircasses, portrats that waved, suits of armor, and a few ghosts. We passed a few doors that lead to who know were.
She took us to an empty room. It had green walls, and wooden floors. It was very empty, and dim in the room.
"You will wait here. when you go in you will be sorted into your house. Your huse will be like your family. yYou will; eat, sleep, and have your classes with your house. Your good deeds will gain you pionts, and your bad behavure will loose you points. At the end of the year we give out the house cup, to the house with the most points. There are four houses, Gryffendor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Before you get sorted..." she said while looking around at our group. "try to smarten yourself up."
She left the room. Everyone was talking amongst themselves. I herd one person say that their brother told them, that they had to battle a dragon. i laughted, its pretty clear that they didn't read Hogwarts, A History. When i stifled my laughing, proffessor McGonagal came back into the room.
"We're read for you know," she said. She turned around, and lead us out into the Great Hall.
We passed hundreds of students, sitting on four tables. we walked to the front of the room. there was a hat siting on a chair. It split open at the seem and said;
Oh, you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can top them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a steady mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means
To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!
Proffessor Mcgonagal rised up a list and said "Granger, Hermione."
I stepped forword, and sat on the stool. The Proffessor put the hat on my head.
"Very Brave, i see. Yet a pureblood, with a thirst to bee with her brother," said the hat.
"I'll put you in..."
A/N cliffhanger sorry its taken me forever, but i lost my muse. I'll do better in updating I promise!
Love,
Sarah
