Forever the Lion and Badger

Pranks and Letters

It's my first year at my dream school Hogwarts. I look around at all the families saying goodbye to their children as they board the train. I wish my family was here to see me off but they are busy, always busy. I get on the train and walk down the aisle trying to find an empty compartment, enjoying a little quiet sounds pretty nice right now. The sound of my own breath was quite relaxing until, until two boys who looked alike ran into my compartment destroying the silence.

G- " That was a close one right Fred!"

F- "Right George, The Trolley Witch is just Mental."

I watch them in silence as they try to catch their breaths, wondering why they were so out of breath. Fred was the one to notice me first, in the corner closest to the window. He's eyes were very hypnotizing, I have never seen brown eyes quite like that. He Started to walk over and took the empty seat in front of me.

F- "Well look George we found someone."

G- " Hello I'm sorry if we disturbed you."

They look friendly, a little scary because they look alike. I feel like they can be trusted, hopefully because what I'm about to do is so out of character.

S- "Hi, you weren't disturbing anything." I said really shyly

In my family I'm known as the quiet, shy, and kind person of the whole family. My mother says I take after my great grandma, but even then she was a Gryffindor.

G- "I'm George."

F- "And I am Fred."

G & f- " The Weasley twins"

They said that so casually in unison, I guess that's just a twin thing. During the entire train ride we talked and laughed. I learned that they are only in their second year at Hogwarts, and are in the Gryffindor house. My dream house, they are both in it. Finally the train came to a stop, Fred and George had to go to the carriages. Getting to Hogwarts was a little weird, being in a little boat with all the other first years.

Finally it was my turn to get sorted, I'm praying I get into Gryffindor at least to make my parents proud. Walking up to the stool in the front of the Great Hall, while every person looks at you, was very scary. As the hat was placed on my head it started to speak in a low creepy voice.

Sorting Hat- "mmmm, very interesting a Vane with little Judgment, But very smart," Oh no please not Ravenclaw. " A lot of bravery and ambition, Loyalty and Kindness is very big in you."

A slight panic comes into my mind as he says those words, I have to be in Gryffindor, my family has been in Gryffindor for centuries. Also Fred and George are in Gryffindor. PLEASE SHORTING HAT SAY GRYFFINDOR.

Sorting Hat- " I know, Hufflepuff."

My heart dropped into my stomach as I made my way to the Hufflepuff table. I was in such a state of shock I didn't even realize Fred was calling me. As we all finished dinner we all made our way to our common rooms. Fred had stopped me before I could move down the hallway.

F- "Hey Hufflepuff, looks like we have potions together since they combined the two year."

S- " That's nice."

I was in no mood for talking, How was I supposed to tell my dad that I am not in the red and gold house? Instead I'm in the yellow and black house, the baggers they will never speak to me again.

F- " Okay well I'll see you later then bye."

He waved at me and ran off toward his brother. This made me feel a little better, at least I still had them as friends. The Common room was in the basement and the password was Golden Flower. The common room felt like home. It had circle chairs and brass Lamps, There were a lot of plants hanging from the wall. It felt safe and cozy, maybe the sorting hat was not wrong, maybe I belonged here.
