Chapter 2
Alex's POV
After Seamus basically dragged me of the train I came face to face with a crowded platform filled with students I weaved my way through the crowd along with Seamus, Dean Neville, and JJ and arrived at the front. Standing before me was one of the tallest men I've ever seen he looked almost like a giant but was not that tall. He led us all to the boats and we took off towards the castle whilst JJ, Seamus, Dean, and Neville all sat in one boat I sat with these two other girls who seemed very nice. One was named Susan and the other was named Hermione. We were all chatting and Hermione was telling us some of the stuff she knew about Hogwarts I think I now know who's going to be the one I come to if I can't do any of the work we were getting closer and closer to the castle and let me tell you it looked awesome and truly breath-taking we all got off our boats and I said goodbye to my new friends and made my way to the boys and entered the castle we were all looking around in awe it was so amazing much better than what my brothers described to me. We all entered a dark staircase corridor and made our way to the top which a seemingly old woman occupied.
Once we were all standing around The woman spoke "Welcome to Hogwarts in a few moments you will pass through these doors and join your classmates but first you will have to sorted into houses there are Gryffindor raven claw hufflepuff and slytherin….." then a few moments water I heard a faint croaking sound and then Neville dived forward and shouted "TREVOR!" whilst picking him up we all grew silent as Neville looked up to a cold hard stare of the woman and Neville said "sorry" and stepped back "the sorting ceremonies will begin momentarily" she continued before stepping away I turned to Neville and checked to see if his toad was ok but then a boy with blonde hair and a smug look on his face and said "so it's true then what they're saying on the train Harry Potter has returned to Hogwarts" we all started whispering to ourselves then he started taking again to what I guessed was Harry and said his name was Draco Mowfoy (sp?) and a ginger haired kid snickered at that I almost did as well I was starting to get a bad vibe of Draco so know knowing who to avoid this year check.
As Draco was talking the woman came back and bought us into the great hall as I walked through I was met by hundreds of pairs of eyes it was kind of UN nerving but we all made our way to the front where the woman know known as magonigal explained the sorting ceremony as she did this I was hoping that I got into the same house as the others and I was hoping that house would be Gryffindor because that's the house my brothers were in. Hermione was called first and I kind of felt sorry for her being called first she ended up being in Gryffindor then Draco got slytherin, the ginger who I know now as Ron got Gryffindor, Susan got hufflepuff then harry was called and after much debate with the hat got Gryffindor after that it was my turn I was so nervous I desperately didn't want to get slytherin I know that most of the people from slytherin are not the best people hang around with and I didn't want to be one of them. I walked up to the chair and sat down as magonigal placed the hat on me I kept still as it thought it said things like "interesting a very bright mind a lot of courage lots of potential ahhh I know it GRYFFINDOR!" everyone cheered as I got of the stool and had the brightest smile on my face as I made my way up to the Gryffindor table and sat next to Hermione.
As the night went on Dean Seamus JJ and Neville all got Gryffindor as well as some others and we all started to eat the feast I don't think I have ever seen so much food in my life so I dug in Ron who was sitting two seats down was stuffing like a pig and it was disgusting and Hermione and harry seemed to think that as well by the looks on their face but I live with 3 brothers so im kind of use to it although it's still not nice to look at when you're trying to eat for the remainder of the feast I chatted to the others from Gryffindor I got to know harry more and he seemed normal, I got in really well with the twins Fred and George even though I can't tell them apart they are big on pranking and invited me to join them one night which I accepted and even talked to Ron he wasn't bad at all we had a lot in common apart from the way he eats but I can deal with that. Then once we were all finished we all made our way to the common rooms we entered this huge staircase hall which the stairs moved (I thought that was awesome) then Dean then tapped me on the shoulder and pointed to the walls where paintings were hanging MOVING AND TALKING! We both smiled at each other and observed them all I think I could watch them for hours if I wanted to we walked up to the fat lady and Percy said the password and entered the common room and got to our dorms it turns out I was rooming with Hermione and a girl named lavender brown she isn't that bad once you get to know her just very hyper and talkative and VERY girly she kind of reminded me of Alice in some ways so it was a nice connection to home.
After I said goodnight to Seamus, dean, JJ, Neville, Ron, harry, Tristan, and Kieran….etc. I went to bed and dreamed of all the good things that were going to come with classes tomorrow.
A/N: sorry I didn't update yesterday I had the chapter ready but my internet was taken down and set up again differently cause I've just moved into a new house but its fine now so here it is I know it isn't that long but I wanted the classes to be a separate chapter and it's when she starts classes and will probably may include the odd explosion from our lovable Irish fellow ;) sooo I want to say that in almost all the Seamus fan fictions I've read the OC has never been friends or like each other very muchwith lavender and I want to change that and be kind of unique so there won't be as much dissing of lavender in this story but there will be some drama I kind of haven't planed this out exactly but I have a rough idea ive got no idea how long it's going to be but im doing all the films all in one book so there will probably be no sequel BUT this should be fairly long I know all the good plot lines happen later in the film series but I don't want to skip any of the movies so just bear with me well this has been a long and boring A/N so I won't keep you any longer but please comment and heart this story it would mean a lot thanks x
