Chapter 1 ~ first year

- 'For goodness sake Arya hurry up you are gonna miss the train!' my mom shouted across the room.

- 'I only need a moment' I said in a desperate voice trying to fit all my clothes in my trunk.

I can't believe I couldn't wake up in time to get ready properly. I stayed up late last night reading through my new textbooks that I bought from diagonally last week. This will be my first year at Hogwarts and since I received the letter from professor McGonagall informing me that I am a witch and I will study at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry I felt excited and overwhelmed at the same time. My parents, who did not know anything about magic and wizards were rather concerned but decided that it would be the best for me to go and study magic. I have a really good relationship with them and I know they are going to miss me because we have never been apart for so much time.

~platform 9, 3/4~

We made it just in time to the station. I wasn't sure how I would be able to cross the barrier but then I saw a ginger boy hound right into the wall. I shook my head in surprise and involuntarily I heard a boy asking the lady the exact same thing I needed to know.

- 'Hello, excuse me can you please help us too? It's her first time and me and my husband... well.' my mom asked politely

- 'Oh, no problem dear. All you have to do it's go straight to the wall' the redhead lady responded pointing to a brick wall.

The dark haired boy and I looked at each other rather scared.

- 'it's my first time too, if you are going to break your neck hitting the wall, so I will' he said with a small smile on his face.

I could not help but let out a little laugh.

Seconds later we were on the other side. I said goodbye to my parents and got into the train. All the compartments seemed to be full but I managed to find an empty seat near a girl named Susan Bones.

~The sorting ceremony ~

All I know about the sorting ceremony is that there are 4 houses each one has its own treats: bravery, kindness, wisdom and determination and I really don't know which one I belong, but I guess I'll find out soon.

- 'Hermione Granger' McGonagall called

-'Hmm I know where to place you... Gryffindor' the sorting hat said

- 'Ron Weasley'

- 'Oh another Weasley, I know exactly what to do with you... Gryffindor'

- 'Draco Malfoy'

- 'Slytherin' the sorting hat shouted even before the hat touch his head

- 'Susan Bones'

-'Hufflepuff'

- 'Harry Potter'

I looked at the boy whose name was called. How didn't I recognize him? Since I found out I was a witch I started to read a lot of legends and stories about their history, one of my favorites being the story of the boy who lived. The sorting hat spent quite a lot time deciding his house when she finally shouted:

- 'Gryffindor'

- 'Arya Blake'

I could feel my cheeks turn red as I made my way to the chair. I wanted to be sorted into hufflepuff, given that the only person I met was there.

- 'Hmm a good mind, a lot of determination I see, I see a kind heart if I'm not wrong, but where to place you?'

- 'Hufflepuff?' I asked beneath my breath

- 'Hufflepuff you say, if that's your wish'

I closed my eyes waiting for his decision.

- 'Hufflepuff!'

~Halloween night~

I was ready to go to the great hall for the Halloween dinner when I saw Harry watching out the window of one of the corridors. We weren't quite close given that the only time we spoke was on the platform.

-' Are you feeling good, Harry?' I asked

- 'Oh, umm... Yeah no worries uh...' he tried to remember my name.

- 'Arya'

- 'Right. You remembered my name' he smiled shyly.

- 'Everybody knows your name, isn't it?'

- 'Well yeah' he smile started to fade.

- 'Why aren't you with the others in the great Hall?' I asked.

He looked at me with sadness in his eyes. Just now I realized what this night meant for him.

- 'Oh sorry, I didn't mean to... I mean' I stuttered trying to explain myself.

- 'It's ok really, it's good to have someone around' he turned his face to me.

- 'Where are Ron and Hermione? You seem to get along well with them?

-' I don't want to ruin their night with my problems '

-' If it makes you feel good I can stay here with you. ' I said softly.

-' I think it's the best to go to the great Hall. Come with me.'

~The end of the school year~

My first year at Hogwarts passed so fast. My house lost the house cup to the Gryffindors ( I was pretty happy that if hufflepuff couldn't win, it was gryffindor the one to hold the house cup firstly because I didn't get along with some slytherins, especially Draco, and secondly because the most of my friends were gryffindors including Harry Potter).

~The Hogwarts express ~

I started to feel really sad about leaving my friends, especially my best friend Susan. I went to the compartment where Harry Ron and Hermione were seated.

- 'I think I'm gonna miss you guys' I said

- 'You just think' Ron said ironically

- 'OK maybe not all of you' I said.

Harry began to laugh. We have become quite close since our talk on Halloween night.

- 'Hermione, I need you to give me your phone number, I'll call you as soon as I get home to tell me what books you recommend me to read over summer.

-' Oh yeah I almost forgot. '

-' I can't believe you are using your phones for books. ' Ron said trying to seem superior

- 'Some of us know how to read' I said trying to be as serious as I could.

- 'Uuuu, no she said it mate leave it how it is' Harry said laughing.

- 'I think Fred and George were a bad influence on you' Ron said annoyed.

- 'No they weren't' I said winking to Hermione.

- 'I think this is it' said Harry as the train stopped.

- 'So you have to go back to your aunt and uncle' I said. I knew how bad they treated him. I felt so bad for him.

Before he could say anything I wrapped my arms around him. He awkwardly patted my back.

- 'I'm going to be fine' as soon as I let go of him

- 'I know' I said smiling.
