When the youngsters got off the train everyone was suprised to say the least, to see a half giant greeting them and telling them that he was supposedly from Hogwarts and he was to take them to the school. The giant led them away from the non 1st years and proceeded to take them to boats that they were supposed to row to the castle.

"Great, How the bloody hell am I supposed to know where the castle is you idiot" James complained to the giant.

"You wont have to row to the castle, the boats are charmed to get there themselves. Also if you keep using that language I can assure you that you will be out of the school in a heartbeat." Replied the giant with a dull tone.

While they were sitting in the boats the others questioned the decison of giving James and Draco their own boat. Those fears came to be a reality when through the fog they saw flashes of green, red, and all sorts of other light.

Just then they heard a loud crack and Draco sounded suprised.

"what are you doing here!" said Draco.

Nobody knew quite what happened. All they knew was that James was missing and Draco was too scared to talk about it.

When they got to the shore the giant showed them up theough the back entrance to the castle and took them inside only to pass them off to a lady who was wearing a dark green silk robe. Then she lead them off while telling them the rules of the school.

"I'm here" said James as he suddenly caught back up.

"Where the hell were you?" Whispered Audrina in a furious tone.

"Let's just say I did some things I shouldnt have and the ministry doesnt have an open mind." He hissed back.

The rest of the walk was pretty silent until they entered the great hall and waited to be sorted.

"Let the sorting... BEGIN!" Said Dumbledore.
