Chapter Two
The Sorting and Family
Finally after what seemed like forever the Hogwarts Express was at Hogwarts, Jade stepped off the train with her cat, Austin, clamped in her arms and her eagle, Justin, perched on her shoulder. She was wearing her Hogwarts robes already and she began looked around taking in the new sites. Then she heard a voice behind her,
"Firs' years! Firs' years over here!" Jade turned around and she caught her first glimpse of Hagrid, she gasped.
"Oh that's just Hagrid the gamekeeper. You had better get going or he will leave you behind." Fred said giving Jade a little push, "Don't worry he doesn't bite."
Jade smiled and then waved to Fred and George as she was caught in a wave of new first years that were going towards Hagrid. As soon as they were there Hagrid issued them into the boats so that they could begin their ride across the lake and towards Hogwarts. Jade's boat had three girls in it including her self. The other two girls were friends, Jade could not see the girl in front but the girl in front of her had long black hair, and Jade heard the girl in front call her "Cho."
Before Jade knew it she was standing in line behind Cho waiting for her name to be called. Standing in front of all the other students in the hall she quickly caught sight of Fred and George. Then again it wasn't too hard, their bright red hair stood out amongst the other students easily. Jade couldn't help but smile. Then she heard Professor McGonagall call,
"Chang, Cho!" The sorting hat was on her head for about a minute when it shouted,
"RAVENCLAW!"
Cho stood up, took off the hat and then she walked over to the table second from the left where the Ravenclaws stood cheering, some of the color was now returning to her face. Jade sighed still a long way to go until it was her turn.
Slowly the line got shorter until, finally Jade was the last one left. Professor McGonagall finally called,
"Williams, Jade!"
Jade walked up to the stool and she put the Sorting Hat on her head. She suddenly head it whisper in her ear,
"Well this is very interesting, interesting indeed. I had one other like you and he did very well in Slytherin as you would to and yet it seems you would also do well in Griffindor. Now which to put you."
Jade thought quickly, 'I don't want to be in Slytherin, anything but Slytherin.'
"Well if you don't want to be in Slytherin then you are better of in – GRIFFINDOR!"
There was a bunch of cheers as Jade stood up and walked over to the Griffindor Table. She took a seat next to Fred (George was on Fred's other side) and across from Percy. Dubmledore stood up and announced the beginning of the feast. Jade helped herself to some of the food that had just appeared while listening to Fred and George plot something else against the Slytherins. Soon after the talk turned to their families all of the older students were asking the first years what kind of families they were from and Jade was no exception,
"What's your family like?" Percy asked.
"Oh um..." Jade suddenly fell silent.
"Go ahead, we don't care if you are Muggle-born or not." Fred said urging Jade to tell more about her family.
"Ok, well my father is dead, he was killed by You-Know-Who, when I was just two years old." Jade began. "And the worse part is I saw You-Know- Who kill him, but still that was a long time ago."
"Oh I am so sorry." George said.
"How's your mother holding up, then?" Percy asked.
"She died two months before I got my Hogwarts letter." Jade finished.
"Have you grown up in a Muggle Orphanage then?" Lee Jordan asked, he had a surprised look on his face. He couldn't see what it would be like to live in a place with not magic.
"Oh, no I have been living with my Aunt, Uncle and Cousin all of whom are witches and wizards." Jade smiled at the thought of the people she was staying with. "They are all very nice and my cousin and I are best friends."
"Is your cousin still in school?" Fred asked.
"Actually she attends Hogwarts as well, she is in the second year." Jade said looking around for her cousin.
"What, house is she in and what is her name?" George asked.
"Her name is Rachel (pronounced Rashell) and she is in Slytherin." Jade promptly announced.
"SLYTHERIN!" Jade jumped when everyone, just about shouted this, then she looked around at everyone's shocked face and she began to explain,
"Rachel is nothing like most other Slytherins. Actually she is a lot like Fred and George, a huge troublemaker, she can be really mean sometimes, which is why she is in Slytherin. However she does like to torture them when she gets the chance." Jade's face now split into and evil grin much like Fred and George's. "Just like I intend to."
"I knew we would be good friends with you for a reason." Fred said.
"And that is because she is a troublemaker like us." George finished.
Jade smiled, she was glad to have such good friends already and on her first day at Hogwarts as well. Who knew what tomorrow would bring.
