It was her first day at  Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The Sorting Hat was a sentient magical hat at Hogwarts that determined which of the four school Houses each new student belonged most to. These four Houses were Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. The Sorting Hat originally belonged to Godric Gryffindor, one of the four founders of Hogwarts.

The Sorting Hat put Mannie in Slytherin

Mannie  was in the  grade 1 . She missed her homies and was quite sure that she was going to hate this new place. At lunch break, Junie and pam , two girls from GARDE 2  introduced themselves to her. they asked Mannie about her experience of 
Hogwarts Express and lake boat 

hogwarts express is 

King's Cross Station at 11 a.m., bringing students to Hogsmeade Station where the 2nd through 7th years ride horseless carriages up to the castle and 1st years cross the lake in boats with Hagrid


after that 

 They took her to a Quidditch ground

  Would you like to come to the Hole of Mysteries with us?" Pam asked her.

"Hole of Mysteries! Where's that?" Mannie asked astonished.

Near the tree was a hole, covered with hay and sticks. "This is the Hole of Mysteries," said Junie.


"Come on, let's jump into the hole," said Pam.

Holding each other's hands, Pam, Mannie  and Junie jumped inside. The hole became darker as they went deeper and deeper. 

Then all of a sudden it became bright. Lighted candles were everywhere. Mannie was frightened. Seeing her, Pam laughed. Junie pointed out to a rabbit lighting a candle. "That is Binkie the rabbit," said Pam. "She plans all our adventures."


"Hey  summer!" said Junie. "This is Mannie , our new friend. Do you have a mysterious adventure for us today in the mysterious school?"

summer smiled and said, "Hey Mannie , welcome to the Hole of Mysteries. Sorry girls, I only have a tiny adventure for you. It's not easy, mind you. You have to be very alert as it's to do with sounds. Be aware of he who can talk. Now follow me. You have to find your way out." Summer  went ahead.

The girls followed her. They came to a small room. summer had vanished. Once they got inside, the doors locked automatically. There were three animals in the room: a cat, a dog and a fish (inside a bowl). They could hear loud grunts from outside.

"I think there's a monster nearby," said Mannie, frightened.

"We have to take the help of these animals to get out!" whispered Junie.

"Or else we will have to stay here for ever," said Pam.

"How do we find our way out?" asked Mannie, feeling quite nervous.

"Let's think hard!" said Junie.

"I think I know!" said Pam. "Remember summer told us to be aware of 'he who can talk'. I think one of these animals can talk."

"But which one?" asked Mannie

"Let's find out," said Junie.

"Did you notice what the animals were doing when we got here? The cat was shaking its head and scratching itself. The fish was waving its tail and the dog was thumping its tail. I feel it must be either the dog or the fish. Let's find out."

Pam went up to the fish and said, "Can you help us?" The fish did not seem to have heard her and continued to wave its tail in the water.

Then Mannie went up to the dog and said, "What's your name?"

"Spike," replied the dog. "If you are looking for the exit, I can help you."

"Can you really talk?" the girls asked the dog.

"Yes I can," said the dog. "Now press hard against the door and chant 'Ashanti' three times. When the door opens run fast until you reach the top. Don't look back ever!"

The three thanked the dog and as soon as they chanted 'Ashanti' thrice, the door opened.

But, the grunting sounds grew louder, frightening the girls.

They ran up the dark path, stopping only when they reached up, at the beginning of the tunnel.

"Hey, we made it!" shouted Pam in excitement as they found back themselves in the school Quidditch ground 

"But what about the animals?" asked Mannie.

"They are in there, perhaps helping summer plan our next adventure!"

"Wow!" said Mannie. "I think I'm going to have a great time at Hogwarts!"

The bell rang just then and the trio returned to their class in the mysterious school.
