As the Hogwarts express came to a stop we all got told to leave our luggage in the train. As Sarah, Tim and I stepped out of the Hogwarts express a really tall man with uncombed hair called "All first years to me!" We did as he told us.

There was a kid with glasses and black hair who greeted the tall man and called him Hagrid.

We followed the tall man who supposedly is called Hagrid to a lake where we go told by him to all sit in a boat and only up to 4 people in a boat. I got in a boat with Sarah, Tim and a girl with long blonde hair who later introduced herself as Hannah Abbott. 

We all looked at the Hogwarts castle as it looked marvelous in the moonlight.

At the end of our trip we got picked up by an older woman with a typical witch hat. She refers to herself as professor McGonagall.

"Trevor!" Exclaimed a guy while professor McGonagall gave a speech and picked up his toad in front of her. 'Well this must be the Neville kid as he found his Toad called Trevor after all' I thought to myself "We will let you in if we're ready" Professor McGonagall told us while going into the room behind the door as we were waiting on a staircase.

"It's true then what they're saying on the train. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts" Said by a boy with blonde gelled hair as everyone started whispering. "This is Crabbe and Goyle and I am Malfoy. Draco Malfoy" 

A ginger haired boy started snickering at that. "Think my name is funny do you? I don't even have to ask yours. Red hair and a hand-me-down robe. You must be a Weasly." Draco retorted with a glimpse of disgust in his face and voice.

I started loosing interest in this conversation as I could tell how this was gonna go. It would end in Draco want to have a friendship just for the fame of 'The Boy Who Lived' while Harry was going to decline as no one would be dumb enough to accept that offer. Professor McGonagall returned and told us that we can enter the great hall.

"This night sky on the ceiling is not real. I read about it in 'Hogwarts: A History'" I heard the bushy brown haired girl from earlier say in a very self confident almost arrogant tone.

As I walked towards the podium I saw (C/n) at the Gryffindor table smilling at me.

As we all have reached the Podium Professor McGonagall explains that when she reads our name aloud we have to take a seat and she will be placing the sorting hat on our head as he decides the house we will be in for our Hogwarts years.

"Hannah Abbott" Reads Professor McGonagall as the blonde haired girl I had sat in a boat with before took a seat and after the sorting hat got placed he decided "HUFFLEPUFF!!!" The Hufflepuff table screamed in Joy as she took a seat in on the table.

"Tim Davies" Professor McGonagall called out as my new friend took a seat and the sorting hat got placed on his head. "Hmmm interesting... very interesting. Now I know it. You must be a RAVENCLAW!!!" Shouted the hat as the Ravenclaw table was proud and acknowledged the new member as Tim smiled sheepishly not being used to this much attention.

"Hermione Granger" Was the next one to be called out. 'And who have we there? The bushy brown haired girl with the bossy aura' I thought to myself. "Oh no. Relax" I can hear her mutter to herself.

"Mental that one. I'm telling ya" Says the gingerhead who previously got mocked by Draco Malfoy.

As she sat in the seat the sorting hat shouted "GRYFFINDOR!!!" And the whole Gryffindor table cheers as (C/n) welcomes her to Gryffindor.

"Draco Malfoy" Was the next one and before the sorting hat even touched his head he screams "SLYTHERIN!!!"

"Ronald Weasly" Was next one in the row and the sorting hat shouted "GRYFFINDOR!!!" and again the whole Gryffindor table cheered for another Weasly including (C/n).

"Sarah Robinson" as professor McGonagall called Sarah out she was getting visibly nervous I gave her a pat on the shoulder and said comfortingly "Everything's gonna be fine" She turns around and saw me smiling at her. "Thank you" She says while wearing a comforted smile on her. After the sorting hat was placed on top of her head he exclaimed "HUFFLEPUFF!!!" And she went to the Hufflepuff table which cheered for her being in their house.

"Harry Potter" McGonagall exclaimed. On his way to the seat everyone was in tense and watched as to where 'The Boy Who Lived' was being sorted into. Harry whispered to himself "Not Slytherin" and after the sorting hat repeated his words the hat said "Well if you're sure... better be GRYFFINDOR!!!" And now the whole Gryffindor table was practically having a party on their own because 'The Boy Who Lived' was sorted into their house.

"(Y/n) (L/n)" And as I went forwords to take a seat I suddenly got nervous as so many eyes were watching me. However that feeling of pressure went straight away when I saw a smiling and proud (C/n) (L/n). My cousin had this nice and comforting aura that whenever I felt uncomfortable or had negative feelings of any sort he would be there for me and help me get up. He would be the one encouranging me to give more than I already did even if I already gave 100% before. He was a reliable character. Whatever he sets his mind on he gets done. So after a while people would start to notice that and after that he was renowned for being very stubborn, diligent but most importantly reliable and likeable. And people around him who felt uneasy would often feel like they could challange the world after his comfort. And so with his smile and reassurance that I can do this, it was a piece of cake for me. The sorting hat started to think in which house I belonged to and realised that I would be none other than "HUFFLEPUFF!!!" And I started walking towards the Hufflepuff table and hugging Sarah as we were in the same house. We looked at Tim quite sadly as we were not in the same house as him.

After the ceremony the prefects of each house showed their respective first years the entrances and accomplishments that must be fulfilled to enter the respective house. When there we saw the Hufflepuff common room. It was really cozy and warm and the dormitories would be to the left for the boys and to the right for the girls. So now we all went to go grab some sleep as we would needing it for our first day at Hogwarts.
