After Benny had said goodbye to his parents and had his luggage loaded onto the train he got on and went to a compartment right at the back. He waved to his parents as the train slowly started to leave.
After they were out of sight, Benny sighed.
He started looking out of a window as the countryside whizzed past.
Someone knocked on the compartment door and a small boy peeked in with blue eyes and blond hair.
He said "can I come in here please; all the other compartments are full." "Course you can" replied Benny.
The small boy slipped into the compartment with his trunk. He introduced himself as Sam and Benny introduced himself back.
They chatted for ages until two girls came past giggling.
They knocked on the door and asked to come and sit with them.
One had long, blond hair and introduced herself as Daisy. The other had long, wavy, black hair and introduced herself as Tilly.
After a short amount of time, they said goodbye and went back to their compartment.
Benny and Sam quickly got changed into their robes after Benny's brother came in with a shiny red and golden prefect badge telling them that they were nearly there.
After they had got changed, a giant of a man who introduced himself as Hagrid, took them up to the castle once the train had stopped.
They rowed up to the castle in boats and had to leave their trunks in the entrance hall as they were taken into a room by a young teacher who introduced themselves as Professor Lupin.
Benny knew him, he was his father's Godson, Teddy Lupin, who had graduated from Hogwarts 5 years earlier but stayed there as a Defence against the dark arts teacher and Deputy Head.
After Professor Lupin had introduced himself, he explained about the four houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin.
Each student was to be sorted into one of the houses and they would be in that house for the rest of their learning at Hogwarts.
Professor Lupin then led the group into the great hall in a single file line.
After, the deputy head withdrew a piece of parchment from his pocket and announced in a booming voice "First years will be called up one by one to be sorted into your houses with the sorting hat.
He then waved his wand and a scruffy old hat floated down from the ceiling and landed on a small, wooden stool. Lupin read:
"Brown, Drew"
A small boy shuffled up to the front as the hat rose in the air, he sat on the stool and the hat fell on his head. "Hmm" spoke the hat. "Brains, brains, brains." The boy blushed. The hat carried on "Better be... RAVENCLAW!!" The small boy ran over to the table with the blue tablecloth as the crowd on that table cheered.
Several more people were sorted into various houses.
"Malfoy, Scorpius" read out Lupin.
A medium sized boy with bleach blond hair strutted up to the stool and sat down. The hat barely touched his head when it shouted "SLYTHERIN!!" A loud cheer came from the green table.
"Malfoy, Sagittarius" read Lupin.
An identical boy to the previous one marched proudly to the stool. He sat down. Again, the hat barely touched his head before it shouted "SLYTHERIN!!" Another loud cheer came from the green table.
A few more children were sorted into various houses.
"Potter, Benny" read Lupin
Everyone became silent as they watched the blond haired boy walk nervously up to the stool. He sat down as the hat came down on his head. The hat paused. It then said "oooo, a Potter is it; well you are very similar to your parents, so it better be... GRYFFINDOR!!" The crowd went wild over at the red table and Demetri and his friends were whooping and chanting "WE GOT ANOTHER POTTER" repeatedly.
After the crowd had settled down the rest of the first years were sorted, including Sam and the two girls he had met on the train who were all in Gryffindor.
The headmistress stood up and welcomed herself as Professor McGonagall and explained the basic school rules as well as that the students' timetables were held in a box that would appear in their place which also held their House Uniform to replace the present one.
After muttering two words that sounded like yum yum, a massive feast appeared on the empty plates which now held starters.
Benny helped himself to duck spring rolls and tomato soup. After the starter disappeared, the main course came.
This was roasted vegetables and Yorkshire pudding as well as sauces, gravy and various meats. Benny had crispy pork and Yorkshire pudding, along with roast vegetables, potatoes, and gravy and apple sauce. After about half an hour of the main course being there the pudding appeared while Benny was chatting to Sam.
This was all sorts; like profiteroles, Chocolate log, chocolate fondant with strawberries, banana and marshmallows, and even battered mars bars. After fifteen more minutes of eating and chatting, the boxes that the headmistress talked about earlier appeared and each first year took one as well as the other years taking merely an envelope.
Then the first years were lead to their common rooms. Benny and the rest of the Gryffindor first years were lead to the seventh floor by Benny's brother Demetri.
Demetri walked up to a brand new polished painting of an old man. There was a plaque at the bottom of the portrait that read 'Professor Albus Dumbledore, The Greatest Wizard Of All Time, Headmaster At Hogwarts School For Witchcraft And Wizardry.' Demetri spoke to the painting: "Good Evening Albus." The portrait replied back
"Good evening Demetri, I assume you are here to show the first years their common Room."
Demetri smiled and replied back "Yes Professor. Now, may I have the password?"
Albus returned the smile "The password is found in many sweet shops, the answer is on a jar. The sweet is named after a fruit that is sour, but don't spill the filling in the car." He said.
Demetri laughed and turned to the first years. "The answer is very easy to find, say sherbet lemon to the portrait to see what's inside."
He explained. Demetri swung back round to face Dumbledore and smiled. Dumbledore smiled back. "SHERBET LEMON" Demetri commanded in a stern voice.
Dumbledore replied "yummy, my favourite" with a chuckle afterwards and swung back to reveal an archway which through Demetri led the first years.
After a bit of explaining about the daily routine, the first years were allowed into their dormitories.
Benny and Sam rushed straight to their dormitory where their trunks were already by their beds. They plonked themselves down on their beds with their owls in their cages beside them.
They packed their new Uniform into their drawers and their new books on the shelf on top and pinned their timetable and notices on the cork board above the shelf.
After Benny had unpacked everything apart from his broomstick, he sat on his bed listening to music on his Iphone which fascinated some wizards who didn't buy muggle stuff. Benny and Sam went down to the common room and sat on the armchairs by the fire. The two girls that they met on the train sat behind them, giggling.
Ignoring them, they carried on listening to music on Benny's Iphone and then, at about 11pm, they went up to bed.
Another chapter finished. Next chapter could be up tommorow, or could be up in two weeks, I'll never know. I have already started writing it and it shouldn't take too long. Hope you liked the bit about Dumbledore, he was so good, he couldn't be rid of the story even if he was dead. The fat lady was boring anyway. I won't be giving very many rare hints, hats why they are rare. Occasionly, the chapter title might give a bit away, but not much.
Hope to see reviews, I've only got about 1 so far, in a couple of chaps time, I still have only one review, I will post a chapter saying why I refuse to put up more any how I will stop writing if there aren't any reviews to tell me people are reading this. A review could only be a line that takes 2 seonds but I want to know what you think!!!
Benny
