The carriage eventually stopped and I saw the great large entrance doors of the castle open. I jumped off the carriage and ran inside to the great hall where I was met with four grand tables with red, green, blue and yellow banners on top. My eyes met with Dumbledor's as he gave me a bright smile causing me to smile back at him. Since I didn't have any friends I somehow managed to befriend the headmaster. It started with me getting in trouble for being out past curfew, to basically therapy sessions and then to tea parties. I went straight to the Slytherin table, and took a seat near the door. People started coming in one by one causing the room to get noisier each second. Soon the whole great hall was full of people from young to old.
Dumbledore said his speech after the first years got sorted and made the food appear. I only took a small piece of chicken and some grapes. I felt a pair of eyes on me causing me a slight shiver to run down my spine. I looked around the room and my eyes landed on familiar brown ones. James was giving me a death glare and if looks could kill I would probably be dead by now. I just went back to eating my food. I finish my grapes and didn't even bother eating my chicken. I barely ate half the time for many reasons. I got up and started walking to the head girl of my house. I asked her for the password to the common room and she whispered to me. I walked out of the great hall and to the dungeons. As I walked through the stone hallways covered in moving paintings I couldn't help but remember my sorting in my first year.

Flashback

My 4ft 11inch self  walked in the great hall in awe as I stared at the star filled ceiling. Wonder and amazement danced in my dark brown eyes as I looked around the room, but as I looked at my fellow peers I couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. We walked up to a small pair of stares with a stool at the top and hat. All the teachers and students gazed at us younglings causing my palms to get a bit sweaty. The hat started singing a song about the four houses and when it finished I clapped along with everyone else. The stern looking woman who I believe said her name was professor McGonagall started calling people up to the hat to get sorted. "Potter James", she called loudly. James turner to look back at me in reassurance and I gave him an encouraging smile. He walked up and sat on the stool, Professor McGonagall placed the brown hat on his head. "Gryffindor" the hat yelled causing James to let out a huge grin. "Potter Aurora" the professor yelled. I nervously walked up taking a deep breath in and out trying to not trip and embarrass myself. I sat on the stool and the lady put the talking hat on my head.  " This a hard one, very strange." The hat said aloud. "I see... yesss... your much different than your brother. Very smart yet very brave. You would do anything to save your friends and family. Cunning and a quick thinker, I see so much potential in you, more than your family sees. You'll do well in this house, yes very well" The hat said in my head. "Better be GRIEF-SLYTHERIN!!!" Yelled the hat. My eyes widened and my breath got stuck in my throat. There is no way I can be in Slytherin, the hat must have gotten it wrong. What will mum say! And dad! And James.... I stood from the stool and slowly walked over to my new table and sat down. I looked at James and he was glaring at me with a burning passion. And in that second I new he hated me just like our parents did.

Flashback Over

I looked up from the ground and saw I made it to the portrait of Salazar Slytherin. "Pureblood" I said, not bothering for the bald man in the portrait to ask me for the password. The portrait swung open and I entered the common room. I walked to the girls stair case and climbed the stairs quickly. I found my dorm and I was happy to have one by myself for once. It was always awkward for me and the other girls when we had to share a room because I never socialized with them. When I entered my room I noticed my trunk was already there along with my lovely barn owl, I got my pajamas and went to the bathroom. I stripped down and took a nice long shower, escaping the world. The water hitting my skin helped me relax and almost made me feel as if I was fully energized. When I finished I put my pajamas on and dried my ginger hair. I got my ginger hair from my grandma. I guess you could say my family has a thing for red heads. Even James is madly in love with this red head named Lily. I got out of the bathroom and went to my bed.  I laid down on my bed and thought about what happened to day. After that I shut my eyes and went straight to sleep. Trying to tell my self that everything will be better tomorrow. Even though I knew that only happens in fantasies. But you could always hope right?
