We walk into the small cubical of a room and put our luggage above our heads on some rails then Ron and I sit across from the girl. "Hello," I start, "My name is Harry Potter." Then Ron says, "I'm Ronald Weasley, but everyone calls me Ron." The girl across from us says, "Pleasure, my name is Hermione Granger." She then proceeds to shake both of our hands. After our introductions, Ron and Hermione start to talk about what their parents do for a living. Ron's dad works for the Prime Minister and his mom is a stay at home mom. Hermione on the other hand, both her parents are dentists. Then Hermione asks me what my parents do. Ron then gives me forgiving eyes. "Uh, my parents were part of the law enforcement, until they got killed during a burglary," I say. "Oh, Harry I am really sorry, I didn't know," says Hermione. "It's alright," I sigh. We got off the topic of parents and on to other things like our favorite sport, subject, and other things.
"Anything from the trolley dears," asks a really nice looking old lady. "No thank you, I'm all set," replies Ron. I look at Hermione, then to Ron who had a bunch of sandwiches smashed in some plastic wrap. I then say, "We'll take the lot." Next thing I know Hermione, Ron, and I are knees deep in sweets. "So," mumbles Ron as he is eating some Bertie Bots Every flavor beans, "What house you think you will be in?" I knew about the houses from one of the twins, but I didn't really know anything about them. "Well, what are they," I ask. "Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin," starts Hermione, "I read a book called Hogwarts, A History and it said that Gryffindor's value bravery, daring, nerve, and chivalry. Hufflepuff's value hard work, dedication, patience, loyalty, and fair play. Ravenclaw's value intelligence, knowledge, and wit. And Slytherin's value ambition, cunning and resourcefulness. It depends on what really sounds like you. I personally think that Ravenclaw sounds just like my speed. How about you Ron." Ron thinks for a moment then says, "I don't know all of my family has always been in Gryffindor, and I don't want to let my family down, but I might be really good in Hufflepuff. I'm not too sure." Then it's my turn. "I don't know. I'd like to think that I value all of those things, I'd like to be smart, and brave, and hardworking, and resourceful. I guess that it doesn't work that way." "Well Harry your parents were in Gryffindor, both your parents. That is where they met," replies Ron. "Really? I had no clue," I say. My parents had meet at Hogwarts, wow. "What about sports teams," I ask, "Do they have sports teams at Hogwarts?" "Yea, they have Quidditch. It's sorta like futbol in a way, also kinda like team hand ball. Hogwarts has this really cool field that has like zero gravity and you use motorized brooms and fly around. It's super cool. Fred and George are both on the Gryffindor team as beaters," explains Ron. I nod thinking about how cool it would be to be on a sports team. I have never been able to do that before. Dudley had been put on futbol, and cricket teams, but he had always quit saying that they required too much running and that he didn't like that. Then a boy comes tubbling through the door. "Soorry," he says, "My names Neville, I was wondering if you have seen a frog. His name is Trevor and I lost him." I look at Ron and Hermione and they both shake their heads. "No sorry Neville we haven't seen a frog," I reply. "Ok thanks," He says then goes to leave, but stops. "Hey you might want to put your robes on we are going to be at the school soon." "Thank you, Neville," replies Hermione.
Shortly after we return to our room after changing into our robes the train starts to slow, until it completely stops. We get off and the daylight we once had is long gone and the night has taken over. The three of us start to follow a group of upperclassmen, but get stopped by a really large man. "First years this way," he yells as he points with a large lantern. We follow the other first years and the large man follows behind us. "My name is Hagrid, and this is how this is going to work. I will be in a boat and after me you will get into groups of three and follow behind. Don't worry about paddling these boats have nearly silent motors that will do all of the work," says Hagrid. Ron, Neville and I were put into one boat while Hermione was placed in a boat with a girl and boy in another boat. As we are floating along we can see the giant castle that is Hogwarts, all the lights and how truly wonderful it is. After a short trip, we arrive at a boat dock and Hagrid helps us get off the boats and we head up as a group of first years to the school.
Once inside it seems so much larger than the outside. The stair cases are huge. We wait as a group to go through an abnormally large door. I'm not really sure what we are waiting for, but I am really excited. "Trevor! There you are," says Neville. We turn to look at Neville and we see that Trevor is in another boy's hair. "Get your rotten frog off my head. My father will hear about this! I can't believe this," shouts the bleach blond haired boy. Ron starts to chuckle. "What are you laughing at," asks the boy. Ron just looks at him. "Red hair and a hand-me-down robe, you must be a Weasley," says the mean blond boy. Just then a lady comes around the corner and says, "In a moment you will pass through these doors and join your class mates, but first you must be sorted into your houses. There is Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. While you are here your house is like a family. Do good things you will gain points, break rules you will lose points." We then walk as a group through the open doors. As we walk down the center isle I see that there are four tables that are set up. They are really long tables, then at the front sits people who I can only assume are the teachers. Our group gets to the front of the room and the lady stops us, "Alright, when you hear your name called come up here and I will give you your house. Hermione Granger!" I look over at Hermione and I see that she is really nervous, but she walks up to the teacher anyway. They she yells, "Gryffindor." The Gryffindor table then starts to yell and clap. Next, she calls Draco Malfoy. Draco ends up being that mean blond kid that made fun of Ron. He gets to the front of the room and is placed in Slytherin. A girl named Susan Bones, who rode to the castle in Hermione's boat is called next. She is sorted into Hufflepuff. The next person she calls is Ron. I can see the terror in his eyes as he swallows and walks to the front. I know that he so badly wants to get into Gryffindor to make his parents proud, but that he thinks he might be a Hufflepuff. He looks as if he is holding his breath as the lady says, "Gryffindor!" Even I clap as Ron goes to his seat. Then she says my name, Harry Potter. I know that my cheeks are red as I stand before the whole school all I can think in my head is anything but Slytherin.
(Author Note: What house will Harry be put in? Comment and tell me what you think should he remain in Gryffindor like the books or should we change it up a bit. Thanks! ~Potter-Weasley-Granger1)
