A/K: Sorry it's been awhile but it's here so read and if you're feeling generous review!

The train ride was beautiful. But on the actuall train not much happened. Fred and George stopped by a couple times showing Harry and I all these awesome wizard games. But really, other than that, I was bored. Harry and Ron talked a lot but I felt sorta weird being a girl and they were talking about sports (both wizard and muggle). I was staring out the window and the guys were talking about who knows what, when the compartment door opened and a girl walked in. I looked at her and tried to smile but she wasn't looking at me.

"Have you seen a toad? A boy named Neville has lost it." She said. His mind or his toad? I thought and had to suppress a smile. Harry and Ron shook there heads and I was about to offer to help when she seemed to realize something, "You're Harry Potter!"
"Uhhh Yeah." Harry replied

"I know all about you! How The Dark Lord tried to kill you and you survived and no one has seen or heard of him since!" She finished out of breath. I rolled my eyes, this was going to get annoying and fast. Besides, no one seemed to know who I was. How depressing. School hadn't even started and I was a loser.

"If you….." I started but Ron cut across.

"I'm Ron Weasley and you are?" He asked the girl.

"Hermione. Hermione Granger." She replied a bit smug. I rolled my eyes again.

"Listen. If you need help finding the toad I'll help." I said forcefully making sure no one cut across this time. "I'm Hannah by the way." I held out my hand and she took it. I gave her a big smile.

"Thanks but I think we're good. You all had better change into your robes, we're almost there." She turned and walked out. I looked at Ron and Harry. Something passed between them like a telepathic message. I turned back to the window and resumed my zoning out. Five minutes later the door slid open again.

"Harry Potter. So it is true. You are here." A voice drawled at the door. I turned and saw three boys. Two big and dumb looking. The other tall slim and looked almost regal. I looked at the third boy and arched my eyebrow.

"Yeah I'm Harry. Who are you?"
"I'm Draco Malfoy. This is Crabbe and that's Goyle." Then he noticed Ron. "Oh look, a Weasel." He snarled. Ron turned bright red and stood up looking like he was going to punch the Malfoy guy, Harry right behind him.

"Whoa. Lets just calm down here okay? There's nothing wrong with being a Weasley from what I van tell and I'm sure Malfoys are great too." I said stepping between them. I looked Malfoy in the eye and didn't blink. He looked back then looked away.

"Who are you?" He asked in a slightly subdued voice.

"I'm Hannah. Harry's adopted sister." I put emphasis on adopted. This Draco kid obviously had a problem with Harry and I didn't want to be lumped into it.

"Great. Another loser." Malfoy said with a snarl.

"Well excuse me!" I snapped back. He stared back at me and I turned back to the window crossing my arms in front of my chest.

"Sorry, but unless you're pureblood you're not good enough."
"Well I don't think I want to be good enough because you know what? I'm a MUGGLEBORN!" He just stared at me in disbelief.

"No your not."
"Uh Yeah I am. So take that."
"You know what?"
"What Malfoy?"

"Oh yeah, Potter?!"

"Yeah." I walked forward three steps and slammed the compartment door in his face. I turned and leaned against it.

"Great Hannah," Harry said, "We haven't even gotten there and you've made us an enemy."

"All in a days work." I replied with a smirk. I pulled my trunk down and grabbed my robes. I just pulled them on over my t-shirt, skinny jeans, and Converse. Who cared what I looked like? "You to better get dressed." I told the guys, "We'll be there soon."

The train stopped a few minutes later. Harry, Ron, and I all got off together. I took a deep breath of the new air. It was crisp and had a chill to it. I saw Malfoy and turned my back to him quickly. I didn't want to get in a fight. Not yet at least. Then I heard a familiar, booming voice.

"Firs years over here! Firs years here!"
"Hagrid." I whispered to Harry he nodded and smiled. We walked towards him. I was a head of both Harry and Ron. I just wanted to get to the castle.

"Hello Hagrid." I said as I reached him.

"Ello Hannah." He looked around me. "Where's Harry?"
"Oh. I don't know actually. Probably back there somewhere with that Ron."
"Ah. Well we'll be takin' the boats tonigh. Firs year specialty." He added in an undertone. I smiled. I was calm and composed on the outside but inside my nerves might as well have been doing the can-can. I looked around and saw the girl from the train looking for the boy's toad. I couldn't remember her name though. Was it Halley? Hermione? That was it! I caught her eye and smiled. She smiled back, if a bit nervously. Once all the first years were there we followed Hagrid to the boats. Hagrid looked us over and began assigning us in groups of three to boats. I was in a group with Harry and Ron. Hagrid got in a boat and looked at us. No one moved. Then I stepped forward stepping in the boat behind Hagrid. Everyone else followed me. The journey to the castle was dead silent. All you could hear was the lapping of the waves against the sides of the boats. I looked to the boat on my left and saw Draco Malfoy starring at me. I stared right back until he looked away. Once we reached the castle we all stepped carefully onto the shore and walked to the front doors. We all stood staring at the doors then simulataniously Harry and I walked up and pushed them open. We all poured inside not making a sound. Then we heard a voice.

"Welcome to Hogwarts." It said in a Scottish accent. We all looked up to the source of the voice. A woman was standing at the top of a stair case and was now making her way down. "I am Professer McGonagall, head of Gryffindor and teacher of Transfiguration." We all stared at her in awe. She reached the bottom of the stairs and continued. "You are about to enter the Great Hall where you shall be sorted into one of four houses. Either Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin will become your home." She said the last house with loathing. "Now follow me." She turned and opened the second pair of large doors. We all entered the room and the chattering that was going on seemed to die down. We all followed McGonagall then stopped as she did. She walked onto the podium and stood next to a stool with an old hat sitting on it. "When I call your name you will come up here and sit on this stool. The Sorting Hat will then decide which house you will be placed into. And now, Abbot, Hannah!" I started at the first name then realized it wasn't me. She was sorted into Hufflepuff. I zoned out after that looking absentmindedly around the room. I caught sight of Fred and George. Fred smiled and gave me a thumbs up sign that made me feel so much better. "Granger, Hermione!" I looked to the podium and saw Hermione sit on the stool.

"GRYFFINDOR!" the Hat shouted. The Gryffindor table claped loudly as Hermione joined them. The list went on. The boy who had lost his taod was placed in Gryffindor and Malfoy in Slytherin. Then McGonagall reached the P's.

"Potter, Harry!" She called. I thought for the briefest moment that it wasn't in alphabetical order since I should have been first, but forgot that as Harry sat on the stool. The Hat seemed to be talking to him and it took like what seemed a lifetime. Finally the Hat shouted "GRYFFINDOR!" I clapped along with the Gryffindors. Harry caught my eye and smiled at me then I smiled back. After the cheers of 'WE'VE GOT POTTER!' died down the next name was called.

"Potter, Hannah." The Hall went silent. It was quieter than when it had been Harry. Ron nudged me forward and gave me a smile. I walked up to the podium and sat down. The Hat was placed on my head.

"Interesting. Another one." Said a voice in my ear, I guessed it was the Hat. "You too could do well in Slytherin. But Ravenclaw has possiblities as well. Hmm. You struggle with who you are. Not a Potter but that's the only thing you know."
"Not Slytherin." I begged. The Hat laughed.

"Another similarity between the two. Well then better be RA….GRYFFINDOR!" I exhaled, not I had been holding it, and practically ran to the Gryffindor table. I was greeted realizing by a table full of cheers. I smiled and hugged Harry then sat down. The list went on. More and more people joined us, including Ron. Then a very old man stood.
"Welcome to Hogwarts." He said. "I am Professor Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts. Just a few notes to first years, the Forbidden Forest is strictly forbidden, no wandering after hours and prefects and the head boy and girl have almost complete authority." He looked around the room at us. "And now let us eat. Tuck in." The plates in front of us filled with food and we all dove in.

After dinner Dumbledore gave a speech that I missed thanks to Fred and then we followed our Prefects to the Common room. The password was gillyweed. Then we all went to our dorms and the day was done.
