Adeline got out of Hogwarts Express.
"Firs' years this way!" Shouted a big, hairy man.
There were a lot of shocked faces, from first years, looking up at this man.
"Come on!" He shouted. 'urry up!"
Adeline followed the man.
"Get in ter the boa's. Groups of abo' five." He instructed.
Adeline sat with Susan, Hermione, a girl with blonde hair and a boy with brown hair.
"I'm Neville!" The boy smiled. "Neville Longbottom."
Adeline shook his hand. "Adeline Smith."
"And I'm Hannah Abbot." The girl with blonde hair said.
Adeline shook her hand and smiled.
"Come on firs' years!" Says the man, guiding them through the lake.
Adeline looked up to the castle. It was beautiful.
The beige brick towers, the bridges, windows.
"Wow! I can't believe it's all real." Adeline shouts.
"Of course it is. My gran told me about it." Neville says.
"Oh. I'm muggle born, so I didn't know anything until recently." Adeline mutters.
"Being muggle born won't change anything, right?" Adeline asks.
"No. Don't worry." Neville tells her.
A boat bumps against theirs.
"Of course it will. Muggle born witches aren't nearly as good as pure-bloods!" Said a boy with platinum blonde hair. "You'll be so far behind!"
Adeline frowns.
"But? I can do magic too.. I was chosen to go to Hogwarts?" Adeline stutters.
The boy laughs. "Doesn't mean you're any good at it."
Adeline shook her head. She'd show him.
"You're getting old, quickly. Your hair's going white." Said Adeline with a smirk.
"Shut up, mudblood. It's my natural hair colour." He tells her, the smile disappearing from his face.
Everyone gasped at this.
"Don't call her that!" said Neville. Frowning at the boy.
"It's okay, Neville. He's not worth anyone's time." Adeline told him.
"Not worth anyone's time like you." The boy said looking away.
Adeline rolled her eyes. Her mother would not approve of anyone like this.
They arrived in the boathouse.
Adeline stepped out of the boat and helped her new friends out.
They arrived in Hogwarts within no time.
The entrance was so impressive!
A lady with a green cloak walked in.
"First years." She said. "I'm professor McGonagall, you'll be sorted into your houses soon."
Everyone grinned.
"For the time you're at Hogwarts, your houses will be like family." McGonagall told them. "They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin." She tells them.
Once McGonagall had left, the boy with platinum blonde hair stood up.
"So! What they were saying on the train's true, then!" He says. "Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts."
There were murmurs along the first years "Harry Potter!" "Harry Potter?" "The boy who lived.."
"Who's Harry Potter?" Adeline asked Neville.
"He survived the killing curse when he was just a baby! Got rid of 'You Know Who'!" Neville whispers, grinning enthusiastically.
"This is Crabbe, and Goyle." The boy said. "And I'm Malfoy. Draco Malfoy."
A boy with ginger hair laughed, more like a snort.
"Think my names funny, do you?" Draco asks. "No need to ask for yours! Red hair, and a hand-me-down robe! You must be a Weasley."
Draco smirks.
"You'll soon find out that some wizarding families are better than others, Potter." Draco turns his head to Harry. "You don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort."
Draco puts his hand out, hoping for Harry to grab it.
"I can help you there." Draco says, with a smirk.
"I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself, thanks." Harry tells Draco.
The crowd breaks down.
The first years entered the hall and lined up.
"Hermione Granger!" McGonagall shouts.
Hermione walks up, sits on the chair and calms herself down.
The hat takes a while to make a decision.
"GRYFFINDOR!" It shouts.
Gryffindor table cheers for Hermione, as she walks down to the table and sits next the the prefect that Adeline had seen earlier.
"Susan Bones!" McGonagall shouts.
Susan sat down and waited for the hat to shout..
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Draco Malfoy!" McGonagall shouts.
Draco sits down with a smirk.
The hat doesn't even touch his head as it shouts..
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Ronald Weasley!" McGonagall shouts.
Ron sat down.
"AH!" Ron jumped. "Another Weasley... I know just where to put you!!" the hat shouted.
"GRYFFINDOR!" Ron sunk down in a sigh of relief and ran to Gryffindor table.
"Harry Potter!" Harry walked up to the hat.
"GRYFFINDOR!" Harry ran over to the Gryffindor table.
"Neville Longbottom!" McGonagall shouts.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Adeline smiles at Neville.
"Hannah Abbot!" McGonagall shouts.
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
Adeline hears her name.
"Adeline Smith!" McGonagall shouts.
Adeline walks up, scared. Hoping she'll be in a good house.
She sits on the chair and feels the warm fabric of the hat on her head.
"Hm.... Courage, a right to prove yourself, smart..."
"GRYFFINDOR!" The hat shouts.
Adeline smiles and runs down to sit next to Neville.
