The train stopped as we arrived. I looked out the window and saw Hagrid standing with a lamp, calling every 1st years towards him.
I stood up and followed Hermione, Ron, Harry, Fred and George off the train then went to Hagrid "See you at the sorting!!" I shouted.
I got to Hagrid and smiled at him. He used to baby sit me when I came in the summer, which was always full of scary animals except the hippogriffs that he secretly keeps in a paddock.
As we set off towards the boats I realised I was like a foot taller taller than everyone else (the 1st years) except Hagrid who was half-giant.
They were all starring at me and whispering to their little buddies. I laughed at the sight of this little girls face when she saw the boats. She was all alone.
"Hey, what's your name?" I asked "Mine is Charlotte but you can call me Lottie!"
She smiled at me and fiddled with her fingers. "My name is...um...Annabelle" she said shyly.
I smiled at her "That's a wonderful name!" I exclaimed "Would you like to share a boat with me?"
She nodded but looked absolutely terrified. We hopped into a boat and she sat on my lap holding my hand really tightly.
I rubbed her arm and tried to calm her down. I know the feeling of being so scared. I always get panic attacks and dreams from my past life that are too horrible.
I missed Vicky. He was coming in Halloween which seemed ages away. That wasn't fair. He had only dent 2 owls in the summer holidays which I am so angry about.
We went around a rock and the castle came into view. Even though I have seen it a lot, put is still breathtaking.
The boats arrived at the docking area and we all hopped out and headed inside the massive grand doors. "1st years this way to be sorted" I heard a familiar voice said, it was Professor Mcgonagall. I smiled and waved at her. She nodded at me.

Annabelle sat on the stool and Professor Mcgonagall places the sorting hat on her blonde hair. "Griffindor!!" The hat shouted.

I sat on the hard wooden stool as Professor Mcgonagall placed the old hat on my long curly brown hair. "Hmm..this is hard...you have many abilities...many pasts which are Slytherin..but I think...hmmm..GRIFFINDOR!!" The hat shouted. I smiled energetically and run towards the Griffindor table, not caring that everyone was starring at me.
I sat next to Harry and Hermione. "Yay!!" I exclaimed hugging them before the delicious food appeared from the plates.
Hermione looked disgusted "Don't worry I've met the elves and they enjoy it so much!" I told her before digging in.
