Cathy pov

Time skip to 1 September

I arrive at kings cross, wearing muggle clothing.

All my stuff was in my pocket, having wandlessly shrinked it beforehand.

I walked towards the barrier between 9 and 10.

Once on the other side I look around for them, accidentally bumping into some red head.

I apologise and get tackled by someone else, falling to the ground from the force of impact.

"CATHY," violet screamed, giving me a tight hug.

"Can't breathe," I struggle to say.

"Sorry, I missed you," she says letting go and pulling me towards the train.

"You saw me two days ago," I chuckled getting on the train.

"That's two days to long," she said siriusly, finding an empty compartment and entering it.

We waved at her parents, then sat down and waited for the train to start moving.

Almost the whole train ride we had talk about pranks.

Sometimes we were interrupted when a perfect came by, or just other first years, but nothing much.

When the candy cart lady came by and we both bought lots of chocolate and other candies.

But mostly chocolate for me.

The deal started of simple, who could do the most outrages prank without anyone knowing it was you.

A perfect came by and told us to change into our robes.

We changed in our compartment, since we have known each other to long to be bothered.

We still turned out backs, but neither of us moved to leave the compartment.

When the train stopped and we got out, a big man beckoned all of the first years over to him.

He instructed himself as Rubues Hagrid and told us to get into the boats, no more than four were aloud in each boat.

Vi an I sat in one, along with that red headed boy I bumped into.

Our boat was the only one with three people.

Everyone gasped at the sight of the castle.

I had seen it before in photos, but none of them did it justice, it's absolutely magnificent.

Inside was warm compared to outside.

It looked very welcoming.

I now get why they said it was like their second home.

We walked up some stairs and stopped at two big doors.

In front of the two big doors stood a strict woman, who I knew to be Minnie McGee.

She told us about the houses and the sorting hat then let us in.

We walked to the front looking at the bewitched ceiling.

after the hat sang a song Minnie started calling up names and me and vi were guessing their houses.

Aimee Meanswell was the first to be sorted and got in Ravenclaw.

Diego Chaplin was the first Hufflepuff.

Ben Cooper the first Gryffindor.

And Josh Nemoy the first Slytherin.

After Barnaby Lee got sorted in Slytherin I knew I was next.

'Lupin-Black Catherine' said Minnie, as her eyes widened slightly.

I walked up to her making eye contact smiling then winking at her.

'You're definitely going to be Ravenclaw,' violet said in my head.

'And you're going defenitly to be Slytherin,' I replied

'Hmm what do we have here...oh Lupin-black I see, not bad, very kind but messy,'

'I'm not messy, I'm-' he cut me off.

'Oh and very brave too, but no Gryffindor won't do, neither will Hufflepuff. You're very intelligent.'

'Thank you.'

'Yes, Ravenclaw would do you good, but you are too cunning for them, you will do anything to complete your goal, yes it's more suitable if I put you there'

'Are you sure? I've always like the colour blue better.'

'Let it be SLITHERIN,' he shouted to everyone, some cheered for me, some only gave me calculating stares.

I got of the stool giving Minnie the hat and walking towards the table.

'What did they say?' asked violet.

'They said I would fit better here,' she nodded

"Malfoy Violet," said Minnie, she walked up and sat on the chair for a minute.

"Ravenclaw!" they shouted, she got up and headed there.

When she sat down we made eye contact and gave each other a thumbs up.

'The irony that we are in the house we thought the other was going to be in,' I said

She didn't answer so I looked over at her and saw her staring nowhere.

'Hello violet. Earth to violet. Violet!' she jumped slightly.

'What are thinking about?'

'Nothing just thinking about what my dad's going to say.'

'Well you're not Gryffindor so he's not going to be that mad, because even though he was kind of friends with my parents he still doesn't like Gryffs all that much.'

"Weasley Charlie," McGee said.

The red headed boy from the boat walked to the chair and sat down.

'I think Hufflepuff,' I said.

'Are you kidding, he's probably going to be a Gryffindor.'

'Well he could be a-,' I started, but got interrupted by the hat.

"Gryffindor!" he got up and walked toward the loud table.

After we had dinner and desert we walked towards our common rooms, with our perfects leading us.

They told us that the boys were on the left and girls were on the right.

Then came our head of house, Snape, or as my parents and co used to call him snivellus, to give us the down low.

I wasn't really listening, instead I was trying to come up with a new nice-ish nick name for him.

"Ms Lupin-Black could you please pay attention," he snapped at me.

"Sorry professor, I'm just very tired," I said as I bowed my head down in a shameful matter.

But it was just to hide my smile as I had found my new nick name for him.

He continued telling us stuff and then sends us off to bed.
