Truly Magical (Phan)

Chapter 3

*DAN POV*

I looked out the window yet again but this time i saw something amazing. I motioned for the boy to join me and we both looked at what we saw in awe. There was a huge castle with a lake outside the front. There must have been a hundred towers with little flags at the top of a few. The land seemed to go on for ages and there were strange hoops in a field on one side. Everything was so magnificent and it looked like nothing i had ever seem before. It seemed, well, magical. 

The train stopped and all the children started piling off. Some of the older kids were yelling to keep all the luggage where it was because they would deal with that later. Once I got off the train, I went to the area where a tall, bearded man was calling all first years. I looked around the area for the boy and found him across the way. We made eye contact and started making our way towards each other. 

"I should probably tell you, there's a sorting coming up. It's where you get placed into houses and you just have to put an old hat on your head and it'll choose for you." The boy explained when he saw the panicked look on my face. 

I nodded and made my way towards one of the boats floating in the water. The boy and I got in and it started moving towards the castle. WE both had their eyes wide and mouths hanging open the entire boat ride. 

Once inside, an old woman came out and explained what the sorting ceremony did and what was going to happen. I couldn't focus on the lady because i was too busy looking around to notice everybody else was moving into another room. At the last minute, the boy came over and grabbed my hand, pilling me after the group. We caught up with the other first years and stood in line, waiting for our names to be called by the headmaster. 

"Daniel Howell."

I started making my way up towards the stage and sat down on the stool. The man came up behind me and put the old, wrinkled hat on my head. I cringed to the strange feeling and gasped as the hat started talking. 

"Hmm... a muggleborn. What shall I do with you? Id say... SYTHERIN!" 

I grinned and made my way towards the table with green and silver cloth running across it. MY mind was racing with questions about what would happen next but I shut them up when another name was called. 

"Philip Lester."

The boy started walking up on stage and I said the name in my head. Philip. It suited him nicely. I became interested in what house Philip would be placed in. I couldn't stop the frown on my face when I heard the sorting hat yell "HUFFLEPUFF!" 

Philip slowly made his way over to the Hufflepuff table and went through all the claps and high fives. He ended up sitting in a huge crowd of other first years from his house. They were all trying to talk to him and ask him questions but he ignored them. I noticed he kept staring over at me and i smiled slightly to him. He smiled back and turned his attention to the headmaster and his opening words.
