Draco woke me up a few hours later and told me that I should pull myself around and get dressed. Which I did. I left the cabin and went to the girls bathroom to change into my uniform. It was simple enough but once I was sorted into my house I would then wear house colour tie, robe and jumper with add ons like scarf and embellished hat and gloves. The train came to a stop and I made my way over with Draco, Crab and Goyle. Hargrid the Groundskeeper that father spoke very lowly of waited for us.
"Right this way to the boats. follow me." he turned and lead us first years to the boats that cross the black lake.
"Whoa." i breathed looking up at the school castle in all it's glory. I heard all about it from our parents but it was better than they described. We were all lead inside and up to the top of the stair case where a professor was waiting for us. Draco pulled me quickly up the stairs and rested on the banister.
"Welcome to Hogwarts." the professor who to mothers description was McGonagall. "In a few moments you will pass through these doors and join your classmates. but before you can take your seats. You must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor. Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin." Draco looked back at me with a smirk but it turned to scowl at my apprehensive expression.
"Now while you're here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you house points. Any rule breaking and you will lose points. At the end of the year. The house with the most points is awarded the house cup."
"Trevor!" a boy chimed shoving forward and picking up his pert toad. I chuckled a little and relaxed as professor M peered down at him. He bashfully stepped back. "Sorry"
"The sorting ceremony will begin momentarily." she left us alone.
"So it's true then, what they're saying on the train." Draco spoke up and my eyebrows furrowed he turned to me "Harry Potter has come to hogwarts." Wow. Harry Potter the boy who survived against one of the most famous drakes wizards of all time.
"This is my sister Vega, Crabbe and Goyle. And I'm Malfoy. Draco Malfoy." Draco introduced us as he stepped forward there was a sort.
"Think my name is funny do you? There's no need to ask yours. Red hair and a hand me down robe. You must be a Weasley."
"Leave them alone Day." i sighed but he ignored me and continued
"You'll soon find out that some wizarding families are better than other Potter. You don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there." he offered his hand.
"i think I can tell the wrong sort myself thanks." Potter replied. I saw the Professor come back and yanked my brother back to my side.
"Do you really have to embarrass me on the first day." I snipped at him.
"We're ready for you now. Follow me." Professor M stated and we were lead into the great hall. hundreds of students watched as we were escorted to the front where the sorting hat sat alone on a stool waiting to reveal that I wasn't as I portrayed myself to believe. The only Slytherin thing about me was my family. "Wait along here please. Now before we begin Professor Dumbledore would like to say a few words." Professor Dumbledore rose to his feet.
"I have a few start of term notices I wish to announce. The first years please note that the dark forrest is strictly forbidden to all students. Also our caretaker Mr Flitch has asked me to remind you that the third floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds to those who do not wish to die a most painful death. Thank you." he sat back down
"When i call your name. You shall come forth, i shall place the sorting hat on your head and you'll be sorted out into your houses." M began "Hermione Granger." a bushy haired girl stepped forward freaking out a little. she took first place and the sorting hat began.
