CHAPTER 2: The sorting

Fred's POV

`Mione? Where'd that name come from? I like it though, im going to call her that from now on. I thought as I walked back to the compartment George was in.

I walked into the compartment and sat down; not saying a word.

"What's wrong with Fred?" I heard Lee whisper to George.

"It looks like he ran into Hermione on the way back here!" he whispered back.

I looked over at George and Lee, "I can hear you!" I told them.

"Well then it won't hurt to ask if what I said is true." George smirked

I will not tell them I saw Hermione on the way down here because they'll think I fancy her. I thought.

"No I didn't run into anyone!" I said and I noticed George whisper something to Lee and all I caught was "Fred… 1st year…..likes…" So I bet he said something about me liking Hermione.

"Shut it Gred!" I yelled just as the train stopped.

We walked out to get on a boat and we just happened to get one with my younger brother, Ron, his new friend, Harry Potter, and `Mione.

We sat down with; George and Lee in the front, Harry and Ron in the middle, and me and `Mione in the back. I'm kinda glad they sat me by `Mione, I thought.

Hermione's POV

"Hey `Mione," Fred whispered in my ear and I blushed, which made him chuckle.

"Hey," I mumbled, "Where'd you get `Mione from?" I asked.

"I don't know but if you don't like it I can call you Hermione." He whispered.

"oh no! I love it…You can call me that," I whispered quickly. It would be my first real nickname and it sounds amazing when Fred says it, I thought.

"Good `cause I like calling you `Mione," he winked, "Oh look `Mione! You can see Hogwarts!" he yelled.

I looked over and saw Hogwarts. It was even more beautiful than I thought. It looked like exactly how I thought it would, I thought as the boat stopped and we all got out.

"First years! All first years follow me!" A teacher screamed by the front of Hogwarts.

"Well I think I have to go," I said to Fred and George; more to Fred though, "See you later." I started for the teacher I think someone called Professor McGonagall.

Fred Grabbed my arm and turned me around, "Bye `Mione, I'm still going to save that seat for you," he said as he walked off. I smiled and followed Professor McGonagall.

After a while all the first years went into the great hall and where being sorted into Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin.

"Finnigan, Seamus!" Professor McGonagall called as she directed a sandy-haired boy to a four-legged stool where sat an extremely dirty, patched and frayed pointed wizard's hat.

I'm really nervous and am really scared that I wont get into Gryffindor and then Fred wont ever talk to me again. I look around the room, searching the Gryffindor table until I found the familiar red hair and blue eyes.

Fred smiled and waved at me and I'm pretty sure I blushed as I waved back.

"Granger, Hermione!" I heard Professor McGonagall call and I walked up and sat down on the stool as she put the hat on my head.

"Ahhh, great potential for Ravenclaw I see in you," The Sorting Hat spoke to me loud enough so that only I can her him.

Gryffindor! Gryffindor! I thought.

"Gryffindor eh? But with a mind like yours, you could fit well in the house of Ravenclaw." The sorting hat implied.

Gryffindor! Gryffindor! I thought.

"Witty and chivalrous, better be..." It took a long time before the Sorting Hat shouted,

"GRYFFINDOR!" I heard wild cheers and applause come from the Gryffindor table as I stepped down from the stool.

I got Gryffindor! I thought over and over again as I walked towards the Gryffindor table.

"`MIONE! Over here!" I heard Fred call and I went to sit by him.

"Congrats on getting into Gryffindor!" Both Fred and George Said.

"Thank you!" I said as I watched the rest of the names be called.

Freds POV

I looked over `Mione as she watched the names be called. She was so beautiful! I thought, No Fred! You can't think that! You just met her! I shook my head and looked away.

"Oh so it's 'Mione now? I knew you liked her. Don't worry Forge, I won't tell" he said patting my back.

"I Don't like…." I cut of and said, "Thanks," instead.

We all ate and walked to the Gryffindor common room.

"Night `Mione!" I said as she headed towards the girls dorm. She turned around with a smile, "night Fred!" she said.

"What! No night George!" I heard Gred say.

"Goodnight George," she said before walking into the girls dorm.

"Night guys!" I said and went to bed myself.
