A girl with bushy brown hair walked into our compartment, followed by a chubby boy. She blushed when she saw Fred and George, but she tried to hide it.

"Ehm...We are looking for a green toad. Have you seen any recently?"

Fred chuckles "And what is your name missy, if I may ask?"

George is eating his lip, trying not to laugh.

"My name is Hermione. Hermione Granger. And what is yours?"

"Ser Frederick Weasley, mi lady." Fred said with a bow.

George starts cracking from laughter, and she's blushing even more. I kicked George in the ribs trying to sush him.

"Don't pay attention to them, they laugh to anything. I'm Joan." I smiled

"Hey" she said still confused "um...this is Neville." she pointed to the boy behind her "He lost the toad."

"I'm sorry but we haven't seen any... Try down the hall..."

"Okay, thanks. And we are almost at Hogwarts, you should put your robes on." "Um…thank you..." I said watching Fred and George shaking from laughter. Hermione glared at them for a second, and then got out pulling Neville to follow her.

I threw an empty box of chocolates at the twins "Really, guys?..."

As we were getting out of the train, I saw a really big man holding a lantern, and it made me realize it was already night. How far away from London was Hogwarts exactly?

The twins saw my confused face, and smiled "That's Hagrid. He's half giant, and he works in the school as a key keeper."

I still couldn't say anything; I just looked around trying to realize where I am.

"We have to go, see ya at the dinner!" they ran to their friends who were waiting for them.

"First year, here!" Hagrid yelled, standing by a lake. It was light enough to see dozen of boats in it. Unfortunately, that's not the only thing I saw -I swear there were grey tentacles around one of the boats before we got closer. It seemed like nobody else saw it, they were talking and laughing about something.

Hagrid looked at me with his big black eyes "Nervous?" I shrugged smiling.

He chuckled at that "Good. Let's go now. We don't want to be late, do we?''

He gestured us to follow him and we all got in boats one by one as quickly we could.

As we got in the castle I heard sighs everywhere around me, even I was speechless - it was magnificent! I've never seen anything like it.

As we were waiting to walk into the great hall, I saw Draco. He was looking at me but turned his head when I saw him, and started talking to a guy with glasses that was in my boat. I went to talk to him, to say that I'm sorry, but Hermione stopped me and started talking some stuff about Hogwarts that she read somewhere. Before she was finished, the woman returned and took us into the Great hall, full of older students awaiting food.

I started getting chills. I looked around and saw the twins giving me thumbs up. I smiled a little and turned to see the witch that was talking, Minerva McGonagali. She called our names, one after one, and a hat put us into houses. Hermione and the guy with glasses, I think his name is Harry, were sorted into Gryffindor, but Draco got in Slytherin. I wasn't nervous anymore, I was just num waiting for my turn.

McGonagali called my name "Joan Katt."

I walked up and sat on the small wooden chair as she put the hat on my head.

"Hmm..." I jumped when the hat started mumbling, "Ah...another Katt... Your blood wants to be in Slytherin, but… But, your head wants to be in Gryffindor." Huh? " And what about your heart? It wants to break in two pieces so it can go either way, doesn't it?... Well...I think I'm going to put you in..." …
