It's amazing in here! Hogwarts, here I come. All my fears are washed away by stepping onto this train. Filibuster's Fireworks flying everywhere, chocolate frogs jumping out the windows, Quidditch players running up and down the aisles. I wander around until I find a compartment with James. After a few minutes, Albus comes to sit with us. So do Lucy, Lorcan, and Lysander. I swear Lucy's got a crush on Lysander, but she won't admit it.
After a while, a woman with a trolley comes down the aisle, asking if we want treats. Of course we do! She has Pumpkin Pasties, Chocolate Frogs, Licorice Wands, Cauldron Cakes, and so much more. It's hard to choose what to get, so we just get everything and share it. It's all so good! We feast on all the candies and cakes until we're all stuffed. We chat for the next few hours, and the time seems to fly.
About an hour before the train is due to arrive, we head to the small restrooms to change into our robes. I excidedly put mine on. They almost cover my sneakers. Oh, well. It'll have to do. I almost run back to our compartment, but I stop to look around at the train. It's wonderful. You can see the sloping landscape out of the side window. It's beautiful.
When the train finally arrives, the butterflies return. It's almost time to be sorted. I bite my lip and try to ignore the fluttering in my stomach. It's gonna be okay, I tell myself. You are a Gryffindor. But there's always a chance…
"Weasley, Rose." I nervously walk up towards the rickety old stool. I sit down.
Almost immediately after the hat is placed on my head, I can tell what it is thinking. "Hmm, a Ravenclaw," It whispers to me. "Very witty." I sigh. I really had been hoping for Gryffindor. Well, I think to myself, the sorting has decided and there's nothing I can do about it.
As it opens it's torn mouth, I close my eyes and try not to listen. Then I hear cheering. I open my eyes to see not the Ravenclaws but the Gryffindors jumping up and down. Everybody is cheering. My face lights up. I am a Gryffindor.
