The train approached the platform and we immediately boarded on, with our luggage trailing behind us.

Not knowing where to go, I followed my brother.

"Here," he said, "Sit here with me."

I bit my lip guiltily "You don't have to sit with me, you can go with your friends, it's okay," even though I wanted him to stay with me deep down.

"No, I'm staying with you. You're my sister, you're more important."

Hearing him say that made me smile, my brother meant the world to me. We didn't fight a lot; we were very close growing up despite the fact he's two years older.

"What happened at the station?" I remembered to ask, I was very curious.
"Because we're magic, we have a special platform in which the Muggles can't get to, because if they saw it then they'd know about Hogwarts, and we don't want that to happen. Get it?" He explained.

The train journey lasted quite a while, I must've fallen asleep, all I remember was being woken up by my brother's voice:

"Hey you, we're here, let's go" and he lifted me up.

When we arrived I just couldn't stop staring, this school was huge. My brother had said all sorts of things about it whenever he returned home, but I never imagined it to be anything like this. I still clutched his hand, trusting him to guide me.

A voice boomed out, "First years wait in line, all other years proceed to the main hall at your house tables."

My brother leant down to speak "Okay, good luck, I'll be waiting for you in there. Love you" he hugged me good-bye and I watched him walk off into the crowded hall.

The first years were all standing in a line, there were hundreds of them!

The one which stood out the most was a little blonde haired boy who seemed very arrogant and very eager to get in.

"This line is taking forever! When can we go in?" He shouted.

He glanced around and I blushed immediately, he was a lot cuter when I actually saw his face.

We were ordered into the main hall where the house sorting would begin.
I saw my brother and managed to give him a quick wave and smile before walking to the front.

"Right," the same loud voice boomed again "The first years will be sorted, Professor McGonagall will read out each student in alphabetical order of last name. Let the sorting commence!"

I was nervous, but excited at the same time. I couldn't wait to find out.

"Aarons, Christopher"
He shyly walked over to the seat and had the hat placed on his head.

"Ravenclaw!"

After the first person, I didn't really pay much attention to who else went up. I just listened out for my name.

"Diggory, Ophelia"

I made my way over and searched around to find my brother, by doing that, my eyes got locked on that blonde boy again. He smiled slightly before he quickly turned his head, I don't think he planned for me to see, but I did.

The sorting hat hesitated for a moment whilst it was on my head.

"Hufflepuff!"

I saw my brother stand up and clap which instantly made me feel warm inside, I walked over to the front where he was sat. He hugged me tightly as soon as I reached him.

"Well done, Fee. I'm so proud of you."

I waited impatiently to see the other children walk up, but I was only waiting for one.

"Malfoy, Draco"

My heart skipped a beat when I saw him walk up.

Unlike me, the sorting hat didn't hesitate with him for a second.

"Slytherin!"

He walked over to his table where his friends cheered, he was searching around the room for something, just as I did when I was looking for him.
