Chapter 2
As soon as Em entered the train she became very nervous. Where was she going to sit? What if everyone already had friends? All these worries came quickly to an end when she met Sadie Davis. Sadie and Em had very different appearances. While Em had long, straight brown hair, Sadie had shoulder length, curly blonde hair. Though girls did not look alike, they had almost matching personalities. Everything one liked the other would like also. Ever since they met on the Hogwarts train, they were best friends immediately. The only difference between Sadie and Em was that Sadie was a half blood. Sadie's mother was a witch and her dad was a muggle. Sadie though, grew up in the muggle world for her father's work. So Sadie always knew the muggle terms that Em would use.
As the train approached Hogwarts, Em did not know what to expect.
"We will be sorted when we get the school" explained Sadie. "There are four houses, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. My whole family has been in Ravenclaw, but honestly I don't think I want to. I would be proud to be a Gryffindor."
"What house do you think I will be in?" asked Em.
"Hm, personally I would think you would make a fantastic Gryffindor with me" Sadie responded smiling.
Em was waiting in the Great Hall for her name to be called to be sorted. Sadie had already been sorted into Gryffindor with a huge smile on her face.
"Emilia Clark!" shouted one of the teachers, who Em already had forgotten her name.
Em looked over at Sadie and Sadie just smiled and winked back. Shaking, Em walk up to the Sorting hat. Then Em put the hat on.
"Hmmm, very challenging you are" pondered the Sorting Hat. "There is magic in your mind that I have never seen before. How challenging it is to sort you know." Em was getting very nervous now. The students were looking at her wondering what is taking so long. The teachers, who were close enough to hear the hat, wondered what it meant by "magic I have never seen before".
"You could do very well in any house. So I believe you may have to choose" explained the hat.
"Please be Gryffindor" thought Em
"Well if that is what you choose, Gryffindor!" shouted the hat.
All the Gyrffindors cheered for Em. Em sat down smiling next to Sadie. Sadie asked, "How come it took you so long?"
"I'm not sure" responded Em. Em was not sure why she kept what the Sorting Hat said, but she felt like she needed to.
