'Wow' was all I could say as I was lead through the grand doors of Hogwarts School of Witch craft and Wizardry. Kingsley had just dropped me off at the front steps and I was greeted by Norm Savior (one of the school prefects).
'Don't worry the effect of it will wear off soon.' she smiled down on me.
All I could think of was all of the things that had happened to this place, and yet it looked as good as new and also damn Norm is tall he would be going over 6ft for sure.
He lead me to a stair case with a gargoyle sitting in front of it, he then muttered something and it leaped aside. We then ascended the stair case and through a door.
All around the walls were pictures of witches and wizards who I could only guess were rather important to the school, maybe they were past headmasters and headmistresses. I looked up at the ceiling and bumped into Norm. he gave me a you ''should be paying more attention'' look and sat down at one of the two seats in front of a desk.
'Ah, Ellii it's wonderful to finally meet you.' this person I took as to being Professor McGonagall.
'Nice to meet you too.' I smiled
'Well, without going into to much detail I shall introduce you to your host family. But first we shall get you settled into your room. And... now where did I put it?' she then stood up, walked over to the corner of the room and brought back with her a small chest.
'Ellii, this chest contains some information about the school that you might like to know. We have heard that you like history and we are satisfied that this information won;t be neglected by you.' she handed me the chest.
'Wait until you get settled in and then open it.'
I didn't know what to say this is just so awesome.
Not long after I was following Norm and Professor McGonagall lead me up to my room.
'You will be staying in the Gryffindor tower with one of your host family members Lily.'
this was just getting me excited, in one day I got to meet Harry Potter and now his daughter Lily, there is no way this day could get any better. Oh I know strawberries covered in chocolate mmm.
The common room was amazing, there were more photographs of people on the walls, your random ghost floating through. But the one thing that I wasn't too comfortable with was the numerous eyes staring at me.
We continued walking up another stare case until we were faced with a door. All over it were named etched into the wood. At looking at this Professor McGonagall frowned but continued to enter the room.
There were 5 beds placed around the room, a small fire in the middle and off to the side I could only guess was the door to the bathroom. Each bed had a trunk sitting at the base and the closest one I recognized as mine.
'Now Ellii, this is where you will be staying. I think you will find this room very suitable as you will be staying with Lily and a few others in your year.'
'Oh thank you professor.' awww they know how to make someone feel welcome. Not long after there was a knock at the door and Norm pocked his head in.
'Professor, I have them waiting in the common room for you.'
'Oh thank you Norm, we will be down soon.' she turned to me 'Well lets go meet your host family shall we.'
I nodded and followed her back down the stairs to a now nearly deserted common room apart from 3 bodies, Norm and 2 others.
'Ellii, I would like to introduce you to Albus and Lily Potter.'
Lily then came running at me with speed and crashed into me with a huge hug. I didn't know what to think, I was already starting to think that people here were nice but this was just a little weird.
'Hello, I'm Lily!'
'Hi.' was all I could say as the person behind her had caught my eye.
Albus looked just like his father, from the unruly black hair, slender muscular figure and green eyes. They could be identical, apart from Albus didn't wear glasses and he was somewhat more handsome than his father.
He stepped forwards and held out his hand, 'Hello, I'm Albus!'
'(giggle) Hi, Ellii.' Oh my gosh I can't believe I did the giggle thing again. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
'well I see that you will be alright now Ellii. I shall leave you with Lily and Albus to become more acquainted and shall see you at dinner.' and with that she was gone and so was Norm. only Lily, Albus and I occupied the room.
Al I could think of was wanting to yell back to Professor McGonagall to come back and not to leave me in a room with Albus. This is going to be an uncomfortable year.
