September 1st, 1989. It was my first year attending Hogwarts. It was a little nerve racking as I had never been away from my parents for so long. I got hold of my nerves and stepped of the Hogwarts Express following Hagrid to the boats that would take us to the castle. As we arrived I could feel my stomach twist and turn causing me to feel nauseous. I had made two new friends while on the train. Fred and George Weasley. They were twins so I often got them confused. They were the ones who told me it was going to be okay as we made our way up the staircase to see a woman standing in green robes and a pointed witch hat. She wore oval spectacles just at the top of her pointed nose. The woman smiled as she saw us walking up towards her. Her smile made me feel very comfortable.
"Good evening students, I am professor Mcgonagall. Just inside these doors is a sorting ceremony waiting for you. The sorting ceremony will determine which house you belong to. The houses are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Your house will be like your family. At the end of the year, one house will win the house cup. Your houses success's will earn you points while any rule breaking will cost you. Now please wait patiently while I tell headmaster Dumbledore that you are here." She said with a smile turning away and walking through the grand wooden doors closing them behind her. "What house do you think you will be in Y/n?" George asked. I tried recalling the traits of each house and calculating a response. I was a very smart girl and very hard-working. I valued friendship and loyalty as well. I could be very brave when need be. Seeing as I had just described all 4 houses I answered with a shrug of my shoulders. "I think we are going to be placed in Gryffindor! Our whole family are Gryffindors." Fred said proudly. My mother was a fantastic witch. She was a Hufflepuff. She helped fight he-who-must-not-be-named in the battle of Hogwarts. My father was a Ravenclaw. He was extremely intelligent and very hardworking. Just then the grand doors opened to reveal the great hall filled with other students sitting at tables that had been assigned to their house. We walked through the great hall up near the table with what looked like all of the schools staff. Looking around the huge room I noticed that the ceiling had been bewitched to look like the night sky. It was gorgeous. Then I saw him. He had fluffy brown hair and grey eyes that shimmered in the light. He was sitting at the Hufflepuff table. I quickly looked away when we made eye contact. I continued walking but came to a slow stop as we approached professor Mcgonagall. She stood next to a wooden stool that had a ragged old hat placed on top of it. She took out a very long piece of parchment and started calling students names. The first student was a girl called Angelina Johnson. She approached the stool and sat down. Professor Mcgonagall placed the old hat on her head and it began to move. "Hmm bravery yes lots of bravery, hardworking I see. Determination yes very determined. I know where to put you, Gryffindor!" the hat shouted and a loud applause came over the hall as she walked over to the Gryffindor table with a huge grin on her face. A couple more students were called and then Mcgonagall called out "Y/N Y/L/N". I took a deep breath and stepped up to the stool sitting down slowly. She placed the hat on top of my head and it began to speak "Ah this will be difficult very difficult. Intelligent I see and determined to prove yourself. Quite a loyal one I see. Values relationships which isn't a bad trait. But where to place you is the question." It spoke. I gripped the side of the stool tightly and closed my eyes. "I know, Hufflepuff!" The hat announced, and I finally relaxed. I stood up and walked over to the Hufflepuff table and sat down next to the boy I had seen before. I looked over at him and gave him a little smile. "I'm Y/N." I said sheepishly. He smiled back, "Cedric Diggory." ——————————————————————————— A/N; This is my first story so please leave suggestions!
