(Author Note: Hello readers! Sorry for the delay in the chapter update. Here is another chapter tell me what you think. ~Potter-Weasley-Granger1)
As I stand in front of the whole school, I wonder how the next couple of years will be for me. I am finally able to get away from Dudley and make some real friends. Then Professor McGonagall says, "Gryffindor." The table of Gryffindor's erupt with cheers. I am glad that I have been put with my friends. The next names after I had been called I don't remember as I am talking to the others at the table. Soon everyone is sitting at a table and the food has been served. I have never seen so much food in all my life. Everything from chicken wings to pizza was piled high on platters. While eating, and talking I meet a boy named Seamus and another boy named Dean. They seem cool. It's seems that everyone had at least one parent come to Hogwarts and now they attend. Percy, one of Ron's older brothers is a Gryffindor prefect and tries to talk over all the commotion, but doesn't do very well. He seems like a very controlling person, which is weird since Fred and George as well as Ron are so easy going. After I am sure I would never have to eat again, Percy finally gets the attention of all the first-year Gryffindor's and he directs us to the hall way. Before we get on the stairs to get to Gryffindor common room Percy says, "Beware of the stairs they have a mechanical system that causes them to change and you might not be going to the floor you think." I think he is joking until a stair case actually moves, like as if it were magical. All the first-years follow closely behind Percy, scared that they will end up on the wrong floor. "Caput Draconis," says Percy as he gets to a picture of a fat lady. The picture then swings forward and we are all amazed. We follow Percy through the portrait and into a large room that housed a fireplace, armchairs, tables and a couch. "Caput Draconis, is the password for this week," starts Percy, "The password will be changed weekly. The only way to get into the common room is with the password. Boys dormitories are upstairs and down to your left, girls the same on your right. All your belongings have already been brought up." Ron, Seamus, Neville, Dean, and myself go up the stairs to find five beds circling a space heater in the center of the room. I find my stuff in front of a bed that is between Seamus and Ron's.
FASTFORWARD TO NEXT DAY
The next morning I wake and notice that everyone, but Ron are gone. I can't believe that they left us. I quickly shake Ron awake and we dress and hurry to our first class. We are late and the teacher has already started to talk about animals. Ron and I take our seats next to Hermione and I ask her who the teacher is. She doesn't say a word, but writes on a piece of parchment: Professor McGonagall. I notice that this is the same lady that called our names for the sorting. Then Hermione writes something else: She is also in charge of Gryffindor. Good, the lady that oversees us knows that me and Ron have been late to class, brilliant. I try to sit and focus as much as I can as McGonagall takes a large bird out of a cage. She starts to talk about the bird. I zone out and watch as Ron doodles on his parchment and Hermione takes vigorous notes. Before I know it, Professor McGonagall has ended class and everyone is getting up. The next class that all first-years have together is Quidditch. We walk as a group out to the Quidditch pitch and sit waiting for the teacher. Hogwarts' pitch is specially made, with zero gravity and special brooms you can somewhat fly. Then out of nowhere comes our teacher on a broom. She lands and says, "Welcome, my name is Madam Hooch. Today you will be learning how to mount and get in the air with a broom. Now all of you come to the side of a broom." We quickly get settled next to brooms that look as if they were used for sweeping. "Pick up your broom and mount your broom. Once you have a firm grip then lightly push up. The zero gravity will kick in when you are off the ground," announces Madam Hooch. I am floating in the air and I look around to see about three other kids floating as well including Ron, Draco, and Neville. Well Neville was floating but is now laying on the ground. "Everyone get off your brooms," shouts Madam Hooch. Ron, Draco, and I land back on the ground as Madam Hooch goes over to Neville. Honestly, he is probably fine he didn't even get a foot off the ground before he fell, but never the less he was taken to the hospital wing. Once Madam Hooch is gone, after telling us we would be expelled if any of us went on our brooms while she was gone, Draco starts to brag about how he can fly really well and how his father taught him how to fly. "Shut up Malfoy," I say getting annoyed with Draco. "Say Potter is that a challenge? You think that you are better than me at flying," egged on Draco. I just look at him since I had never even heard of Quidditch till I came to Hogwarts. Ron, Seamus, and Dean all cheer me on while Hermione is telling me that it is a bad idea. I chase Malfoy who let the zero-gravity snitch go. I know that the snitch needs to be back in the case before Madam Hooch returns or that we will all be in trouble. I watch as Draco is always five paces behind the snitch. I watch it and anticipate its next move then go for it. I am then side by side with Draco, but then my hand is around the small gold cylinder. I go to land and all of my friends are clapping, even Hermione who was worried about being expelled.
Who would come to the Quidditch pitch, but McGonagall. "Mr. Potter, come with me," she says. I just know that I am in trouble.
