If you guys are wondering my pottermore test was gryffindor so I guess you could say in some light that me and Loretta are quite alike.

Chapter 7

Every inch of me was happy as I walked to the great hall, even though we had only just met I was so glad to be in a house with my new... I guess friends is the word!

As I walked through the door almost every face turned to look in my direction but I wasn't too fazed by this, I could see people trying to recognize me and some people obviously remembered me from the train and wondered which bench I was to be sat in, so I walked down the middle of the aisle that separated Gryffindor and Slytherin, I spotted Remus first, then James then Sirius and finally Peter then stopped in the isle and sat at the gryffindor bench, the three of them cheered.

Sirius POV

As the doors to the great hall slowly opened, Dumbledore was about the end his speech but waited for Loretta to find her bench. As she stood in the doorway I wondered which house she was placed into.

Inside of me wished for in to be Gryffindor but I tried not to keep my hopes up, I mean we could still be friends if she was put in Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff but Slytherin would be a worst case scenario! She is so itelligent and funny though, there is no way the sorting hat would place her in Slytherin, would it.

She started to make her way down the isle between Slytherin and us, so it was one of the two.. As she came closer I saw her look to me, James, Remus and Peter. She finally stopped about two meter from us and then came and joined us on our bench. "Yay!" We shouted in unison.

Loretta POV

"Hey guys." I whispered and hugged Sirius who was sat next to me. I was beaming and then everyone turned away from me and to Dumbledore. "Let the feast begin.." He proclaimed and I'm sure I saw him smile at me. "Suddenly I realized how rude I was being, new to the school and I didn't even introduce myself to the other people around myself. "Hi." I said to the girl next to me, she was very pretty was chestnut hair a messy fringe and a slender figure. "Hey, welcome to gryffindor! I'm Deanna." She introduced herself. "I'm Loretta, transferred here from Beaxbattons." I tell her, she seemed pleased to meet me. "I know that place! Apparently its beautiful, anyway, how are you liking Hogwarts?" She asked in a friendly tone. "Well in the half hour I've been here it seems pretty good." She giggled and then we both began to tuck into the beautiful food. "So what year you in?" she said. I pretended to count of my fingers "5" I laughed.

"Hey, I really did think you were a first year earlier." Moaned Sirius and I shoved him almost making him fall off the bench. "Course you did!" I tell him.
