The six friends got into one of the self-pulling carriages and it set off along the dark winding path to Hogwarts. Eloise sat in between Remus and Sirius and she looked up at the stars,
"I can see Orion's Belt!" she exclaimed, gesturing to the constellation, Sirius turned to her grinning,
"How? My dad is in London." she shoved him and tried to muffle a laugh as Lily launched into a speech about her excitement for Potions this year. Eloise tuned out swiftly but Lily's words came back into focus when she said her name,
"Hmm?" Eloise said looking up and Lily rolled her eyes,
"The Slug Club, we have a meeting in three nights time." Eloise groaned and caught Sirius and James snickering,
"You think it's funny?" she said to Sirius and he shrugged, "Well I guess you don't want to be my date then?" She smirked as his eyebrow raised,
"I don't know if you can keep up, Malfoy." he leaned closer to her ear, "I happen to be an excellent dancer." Eloise crossed her arms,
"I'll be the judge of that, Black." They heard the others laughing,
"I happen to be an excellent dance.r" James mocked through his laughs, and Sirius stuck out his tongue. The castle came into view and the carriage gradually pulled to a halt. Sirius helped Eloise out of the carriage, and earned himself a quick kiss on the cheek, and he smirked at James, as if to say 'there'. James offered Lily his hand in an over the top manner as if to do the same and licked his lips slightly, she scowled at him before slapping away his hand with a, "Shove off, Potter." and hopping down on her own. The boys cracked up at James looking like a child being refused chocolate. Eloise skipped over to him grabbing his hand,
"It's ok, Jamsie-poo I'll hold your hand." she said beaming at him and leading him towards the entrance, managing to make him crack a small smile.
They crossed the great hall, and sat on a bench, towards the middle of the table. The First Years were all lined up in between of the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw tables and Professor McGonagall began to read from her scroll,
"Abbott, Timothy." a small blonde boy was sorted into Hufflepuff, "Crouch, Barty." Eloise caught Sirius' eye as the freckled, sandy-haired boy from the compartment sat on the stool. After a moment or two the hat called out,
"SLYTHERIN!" and Sirius whispered in Eloise's ear,
"That doesn't surprise me." and she nodded in agreement. The rest of the first years were sorted and Dumbledore cleared his throat.
"Welcome back students to another year at Hogwarts, and for you new First Years, I hope you'll be very comfortable at our school. I'm aware that you don't want to listen to the rambling of an old wizard, so dig in!" He clapped his hands and extensive amounts of food arrived on each of the four tables.
