Just in case anyone didn't know, Annabeth doesn't know she's a demigod yet.

"What house do you hope to get?" I asked Annabeth.
"I hope I get Ravenclaw but it wouldn't surprise me if I got Slytherin..." she said "I just know that if I do get Slytherin, my dad will hate me. Even more than usual".
"I know Harry will get Gryffindor" I said "so I just hope that I won't get that".
As the castle came into view, my jaw dropped to the floor. It was beautiful.
"Look at the architecture!" She said like a massive fangirl "I hope to design something like this!".
"It's amazing!" I agreed.

I couldn't take my eyes of it.

In just a few minutes, we got off the boats and we were waiting for the sorting to begin.
"Welcome to Hogwarts" said an old women with a pointy hat and emerald green robes "now, in a few moments you will pass through these doors and join your classmates but before you can take your seats you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin".

Yep clearly many people don't like Slytherin, the teacher included.

"Now while you're here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you points, any rule breaking and you'll lose points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup-" The teacher was cut off by the croak of a toad.
"Trevor!" A short boy yelled, then he noted everyone staring at him "sorry".
"The sorting ceremony will begin momentarily" the teacher said walking through the door.

"It's true then" said a blond boy with a permanent smirk on his face "the Potters have come to Hogwarts".
He eyed Harry for a second before finding me in the crowd of first years. I was pushed to the front of the crowd.
"This is Crabbe, Goyle and I'm Malfoy. Draco Malfoy" Malfoy introduced himself. A ginger boy snickered.
"Think my names funny? Do you? No need to ask your's, red hair and a hand me down robe. You must be a Weasley" he said glaring at the ginger. I stayed quiet, not wanting to get a detention on my first day.
"You'll soon find out that some wizarding families are better than others, Potters" he said looking at us. Who does he think he is? "You don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort... I can help you there" he held his hand out, waiting for it to be shook.
"I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself, thanks" Harry said.
"Yeah... No thanks" I said declining the blond's offer.
The teacher came back and hit Malfoy on the head with a rolled up parchment.
"We're ready for you, follow me" She said opening the doors.

My Kitten, who I had now named Mini, hopped onto my shoulder. I had let her run around the train for a bit.
"There you are Mini" I said stroking her grey fur.
"You have a kitten?" Annabeth asked.
"Yep" I replied.
"You two! Stop talking" the teacher said looking at us.

We now walked through the doors and we started the sorting ceremony. We walked to through the great hall and it felt like every eye was on me, I knew they weren't but it still felt awkward.

"Now before we begin" the teacher said "professor Dumbledore would like to say a few words"
"I have a few start of term notices, I wish to announce" said an old man who looked like Gandalf "First years please note, the dark forest is strictly forbidden to all students also our caretaker Mr Filch has asked me to remind you that the third-floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds to anyone who does not wish to die a most painful death, thank you". Wow what a speach, I love there being a chance of death in school. Gandalf sat back down and the other teacher stood up.
"So when I call your name, you shall come up and I shall place the sorting hat on your head and you will be sorted into your houses".

I zoned out until I heard Annabeth's name. She made it look like she was confident but I knew deep down, she was very nervous. She sat down and the hat was placed on her head. The sorting hat seemed to have a tough decision.
"SLYTHERIN" the hat yelled. Annabeth gave me a sad smile before sitting down at the cheering slytherin table.
"I knew it" Harry whispered to the ginger boy "she was hanging around with Percy... she's such a snake".
I would have punched him so hard but instead I settled for a death glare. He actually seemed scared.
I zoned out again until I heard the familiar name of my so called brother.
"GRYFFINDOR!" The hat yelled and Harry smirked.
And then... my name was called.
I walked up to the stool and sat down. The hat was placed on my head.
"Hmmm" the hat said to me (in my head) "very loyal... you could be a hufflepuff but you're also VERY brave so you could be a Gryffindor but even that I don't think suits you... maybe ravenclaw? No, you wouldn't fit in there...".
"Hey are you calling me not smart because I'll have you know-" I started saying to the hat but I was cut off by it yelling...
"SYTHERIN!!!" And it didn't even suprise me one bit.
