Being a first year had some downsides of course, like not knowing anyone, or knowing where to sit. Cautiously you made your way around the running fellow first years, and made your way into a compartment containing only one other person.
"Mind if I sit with you?", you ask the boy in the room. He turns to face you and smiles,
"Of course, please. I was beginning to wonder if I was going to be alone the whole ride."
You take a seat across from him and hold out your hand,
"The names Briella Tuft." You say with a genuine smile.
"Cedric Diggory, nice to meet you Briella."
I was told the ride to Hogwarts would be around 8-9 hours long, which I thought I was going to dread but I was so wrong. Cedric and I talked for hours on end.
"Anything from the trolly dears?," a sweet lady asked from the outside of our compartment.
"Two pumpkin patsies and two cauldron cakes please." Cedric says and hands her the money.
"For you.," he says handing you one of each treat he had bought.
You smile and thank him, "These are actually my favorite."
"Mine too."
With only three more hours of the train ride left you both decide to take a quick nap, hoping it'll give you enough energy when you arrive at Hogwarts. You fall asleep dreaming about the next seven years at the school.
"Briella wake up!" You hear someone yell.
Groggily you rub your eyes and stretch out and look at the person in front of you holding a pair of robes.
"These are for you, put them on we need to be ready before we are put on the boat." Cedric says and give you the robes.
You nod followed with a yawn, "Thank you Ced." You say sleepily.
"You're welcome Ella." He says with a bright smile.
You and Ced made your way towards a tall man ushering students onto boats and you looked at him smiling,
"You must Briella." He says shooting you a genuine smile.
"Yes sir, I'm sorry I don't know your name." You respond.
"My names Hagrid but my friends call me Hagrid also." He says with a light chuckle.
You and Cedric share a similar laugh and climb into the boat.
"It's was nice meeting you Hagrid. I hope I see you again."
"You too Ella."

You and Ced start following the others into the castle like school and get stopped by a tall lady in a hat,
"The first years." Hagrid says towards the lady.
"Thank you Hagrid. I will take them from here." She responds with a small smile and Hagrid leaves. She turns to us with a kind of strict smile,
"Welcome to Hogwarts," said Professor McGonagall.
"The start-of-term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into your houses. The Sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts. You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory, and spend free time in your house common room. The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each house has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your house points, while any rulebreaking will lose house points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup, a great honor. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours. The Sorting Ceremony will take place in a few minutes in front of the rest of the school. I suggest you all smarten yourselves up as much as you can while you are waiting."
