Hey! So thanks so so much to the people who reviewed, It'sSoRonksIt'sRight, Raven that flies at night, Tinytimtam and SaxophonellaE! It was really nice for my first ever chapter! And with that we continue with the story…
It seriously was the most beautiful thing in the world, the Hogwarts castle. Remus, James, Sirius and I were in the magic boats that were gliding across a river and we were just getting a proper view of the castle.
'Daaammn, that's beautiful.' Sirius I think was enjoying the view.
'Yeah, but not as beautiful as…' Remus stopped abruptly before he finished his sentence.
'What was that mate?' James asked Remus.
'Nothing, nothing.'
Our boat suddenly banged into the rocky edge and then Hagrid was instructing us to head up to the entrance and wait there. Once we reached the entrance, we were greeted by a strict looking teacher, with a tight bun and great posture.
'Welcome to Hogwarts, you will be waiting in the entrance hall until I call you on. Follow me.' She said.
As soon as she left and we were waiting in the entrance hall, voices and chatter broke the silence. I heard bits and pieces of it.
'Wow, this place is huge!'
'Look at that armour, that is real silver!'
'That teacher looked so bossy; I hope she isn't my head of house.'
'You know what; you would make a great Hufflepuff with your ugly face.' Sneered a voice at me.
'Oh, if it isn't Snivellus! Are you really bullying more people?' James said.
'Yeah well, so what, at least I don't go chasing around a girl I just met!
'Oh stop it both of you!' I heard Lily Evans voice behind me, telling the boy and James off.
'But Lily, he called my friend ugly!'
'And he said I bullied people!'
'I DON'T CARE! Severus, please just come with me.' Lily yelled.
And with that Severus left, all because of a girl.
The bossy teacher came back and asked us to come through with her to be sorted into our houses! I'm really hoping Gryffindor or Hufflepuff, they aren't too bad. When we walked through the massive double doors my eyes rested on the frayed wizard hat on a stool. It sang a song which I presume was the school song, then Professor McGonagall, I think I heard someone call her, read out a bunch of names in alphabetic order, but I wasn't really listening until it got to Remus' name. Sirius had already been sorted into Gryffindor.
'Lupin, Remus' McGonagall shouted.
The hat pondered for a bit until it shouted…
'Gryffindor!'
Sirius was already over there by the Gryffindor table cheering for Remus. Remus caught my eyes whilst he was walking over and quickly looked away, blushing.
More names were called, James got put in Gryffindor as well, and soon McGonagall was calling my name and I felt myself walk over and sit on the stool.
'Hmm, you are a bit difficult.' The hat whispered in my ear.
'Yes, yes, there are three options for you, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. Ravenclaw, no, it's not right for you. Hmm this is difficult. No it has to be...
'Gryffindor!' The hat shouted finally after a long debate.
There were more names called, but I didn't really care. I just kind of stared a bit at Remus for a while.
Then Dumbledore the head master was talking about some dangerous tree, other school stuff, but all the students just wanted a good feast. And it came.
The food was magnificent! With every kind of meat, all sorts of potato, there was corn, beans, bread, chips, Yorkshire pudding, the lot! I was sitting next to Sirius and opposite Remus and James and we all dug right in! We finished the main course, all of us having thirds. Pudding came next with treacle tart, pumpkin pastries, caramel shortbread. It was the best food I had ever had!
'And with that, bed! Off you hop!' These were Dumbledore's last words of the night.
I could hear the prefects calling the first years on to the tower, so I found Remus, James and Sirius and we all went together. When we were outside the tower entrance, which was a portrait, one of the prefects told us the password (animous) we all went in together, trying to be the first into the common room. And when we did get in, it looked like the cosiest place in the world and at that moment all I wanted to do was curl up in front of the fire with a book. But I was tired and the prefects sent us off to bed. I said goodnight to the boys and went into the room the female prefect said was first year dormitories. It turned out that Lily was in my house and dormitory! So at least I had one friend. I bid goodnight to her and as soon as my head hit the pillow, I was asleep.
The next morning I found the boys who introduced me to a small, chubby boy named Peter Pettigrew, who I recognized as one of the boys in Gryffindor. And with that we went down to breakfast where I had waffles and bacon, also where Sirius splattered me with maple syrup, all over my clean hair!
Our first class was Defence against the dark arts with Professor Merrythought who was a wee bit boring but it was interesting to earn Imps, which were quite interesting but I can't wait until we study more interesting subjects when we are older. We had more boring subjects, but we go tones of homework. The boys and I complained about it all night while we were doing an essay for potions.
All together though, it was the best first day I could've asked for.
And that was the second chapter! Yaysies! I just wanted to thank everyone who took the time to read chapter one as I kept checking it every so often and the number of views kept on rising!
Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
