Watching the Movies - A George Weasley Love Story

Chapter 7 - Hogwarts

A/N I am so sorry I completely forgot to post this and have been very busy at the moment

[It is nighttime at Hogsmeade station, the train blows its whistle and pulls outside the station. Hagrid walks along the side aisle, with a lantern. People, in their robes, begin pouring out of the train.]

Hagrid: Right, then! First years! This way, please! Come on, now, don't be shy! Come on now, hurry up!

[Harry and Ron, now in their robes, walk up to Hagrid.]

Hagrid: Hello, Harry.

Harry: Hey, Hagrid.

Ron: Whoaa!

Hagrid: Right then. This way to the boats! Come on, now, follow me.

[Later, a large number of boats are plugging across a vast lake, where up ahead there is a huge castle, known as Hogwarts Castle, that can be seen. People are in awe.]

Ron: Wicked.

"Really Ron. Wicked." George starts mockingly, smirking at Ron,

"That's all you had to say when you saw Hogwarts for the first time!" Fred yells 'outraged' slapping him across the back of his head with a smirk. Ron turns around glaring at his older brother's unsure which one hit him.

[They continue on further towards the castle. Later on, the first-year students walk in the castle, and up the staircase. As the camera pans, we see on a higher level, Professor McGonagall is waiting. She taps her fingers on a stone railing, and then goes to the top of the stairs to greet the newcomers.]

"MINNIE!!!" James and Sirius yell out excitedly jumping out of their seats and pointing to McGonagall on the screen,

"James, Sirius sit down," Effie (Euphemia) scolds both boys quickly sit back down,

McGonagall: Welcome to Hogwarts. Now, 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. Now while you're here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you 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.

[A scared-looking boy called Neville Longbottom, spots his toad sitting near McGonagall. He jumps forward.]

Neville: Trevor! [he catches his toad; McGonagall stares down at him as some of the students laugh] Sorry. [He backs away, embarrassed.]

Frank laughs lightly giving Neville a fatherly snap on the back, "Don't worry your mother was the same always losing her things," He tells Neville fondly wrapping an arm around Alice's shoulders, while Neville watches the two with tears brimming in his eyes. He blinks them back and continues watching the screen.

McGonagall: The sorting ceremony will begin momentarily. [she leaves to go into the Great Hall]

[A young evil-looking boy, with short blonde hair, called Draco Malfoy, speaks up.]

Draco: It's true then, what they're saying on the train. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts. [some of the students are heard whispering, "Harry Potter?" Draco introduces his two friends.] This is Crabbe and Goyle. And I'm Malfoy. Draco Malfoy. [Ron snickers at his name] Think my name's funny, do you? I've no need to ask yours. Red hair, and a hand-me-down robe? You must be a Weasley. 

"Draco!" Narcissa hisses at Draco,

"I know mum I said sorry... a month ago," Draco says adding the last bit quickly, "OW! Mum!" He whines rubbing his arm where his mother pinched him,
