Adeline's POV:
„First graders! First graders to Hagrid, please!", I hear someone shouting. I'm not a first grader, obviously, but I don't know if I have to come with them because it's my first year at Hogwarts.
„Adeline? Adeline Allard?", a boy asks. He is tall and has red hair and a lot of freckles.
„Yes, that's me", I answer.
„Hello, umm I am Ron. I'm a prefect and Professor McGonagall told me to tell you that you can take a carriage to Hogwarts. You don't have to take a boat, which is... I mean you're lucky, right? It's raining a lot and... I mean I wouldn't want to take a boat!", he says and laughs a little. I smile at him.
„Thanks, Ron", I say and look around. I observe the platform and spot Pansy waving at me.
„I'm going to a friend now, thanks again, Ron", I say and walk towards Pansy.

Pansy, Blaise, Draco and I take a carriage. I am getting more and more nervous and the others must have noticed, because Blaise tells me to relax.
„Take it easy. I think you will make a great Slytherin", he says.
„Yes, I just really want you to be a Slytherin",
Pansy says and I smile at her. I would actually enjoy being a Slytherin. I would have some friends already...
Draco doesn't talk with us which I don't mind. He doesn't seem like a nice company and I can't imagine that we will be friends.

When we arrive at the school, we leave the carriages and walk towards the gate. We are greeted by a witch who wears a hat and a long robe.
„Ahh, Miss Allard! Please stay with me. The other students may head to the great hall already! Hurry up!", the witch shouts.
„I am Professor McGonagall. You will be sorted in a few minutes, just wait here until I tell you to follow me", she says.
I look around and see a lot of excited faces. The first graders are even more excited than I am. I breathe in and out slowly to calm myself down.

"First graders and Miss Allard! Please come with me! The first graders will be sorted and you, Miss Allard will be sorted after them", Professor McGonagall explains. We step into the great hall and everyone looks at us. We walk to the front and Professor McGonagall says the name of the first student who is being sorted now. I don't listen to the sorting hat because I try to focus on myself. When every first grader is sorted, Professor McGonagall calls me to the chair. She puts the sorting hat onto my head.

"Ohh, that's an obvious one! Slytherin!"
Professor McGonagall takes the hat off of my head and I smile. I get up and head straight to the Slytherin table where Pansy is waiting already.

"I knew it! I just knew you would be a Slytherin!", she says happily. I smile at her. I am genuinely happy to be in Slytherin.

I am ready for my new life.
