Chapter 2: The Great Hall & Sorting Ceremony

Y/n POV
We exist the train to be meet with a half giant man, who Harry soon informs me as being Hagrid. He is the gamekeeper, keeper of keys and grounds of Hogwarts. He leads us firsts years down to the shores of the lake that is named the Black lake.

Looking at it I could understand the name, the lake indeed looks black. We soon move into boats and are taken around the lake with only lanterns to light our way. The journey was quite beautiful and peaceful.

Upon reaching the other side, we are lead up some stairs and were told to wait outside of some massive doors that leads to a room called the Great Hall.

"Hopefully I get any house but Slytherin." Ron commented.

"What's wrong with Slytherin?" I asks wondering why their was a 'bad' house.

"That's the house where all the dark witches and wizards come from, they're all no good." Ron states.

I was going to say something in return when I was interrupted, "The rumours are true, Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts." A boy with platinum blonde hair says as he walks over to be in front of Harry.

"I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." He introduces himself, his name causes Ron to snicker next to me.

"You think my name is funny do you? No need to ask yours, red hair and a hand me down robe, you must be a Weasley." He says with distaste, causing me to instantly start to dislike him. He just insulted my one my first friends.

"You'll see Potter that some people are better than other, I can help you there." He says and puts his hand out.

"I think I'll be fine on my own thanks." Harry savagely comes back with.

You tell him Harry.

Soon a teacher named Professor McGonagall comes out and tells us we can walk in. Upon walking in, I couldn't help up look around in awe. It looked like something strange out of a movie or fantasy. You can see the stars through the ceiling and the floating candles look too good to be true.

We soon reacted the end and gathered around as we waited for our names to be called out, to be sorted by the sorting hat.

"Hannah Abbott."

"Hufflepuff."

"Blaire Emily." A light blonde short haired with a fringe haircut, light brown eyed and olive skin toned boy walks up and sits down.

"Hufflepuff."

"Seamus Finnigan."

"Gryffindor."

"Hermione Granger."

It's the girl from before.

"Gryffindor." Ron looked slightly disappointed at the announcement.

He must be hoping to go there.

"Daphne Greengrass."

She looks pretty

"Slytherin."

But I might not be able to hang out with.

"Neville Longbottom."

He looks nervous, I feel you.

"Gryffindor."

"Draco Malfoy."

The rude boy.

"Slytherin."

The hat barely touched his head?!

"Theodore Nott."

"Slytherin."

"Pansy Parkinson."

"Slytherin."

"Melody Prince." A Black haired with a sleek straight hair look, deep blue eyed and light skin toned girl walks up.

I almost feel jealous of how pretty her hair is.

"Slytherin."

"Harry Potter." Whispers spread across the hall as he headed up, reminding me that he is actually consider famous.

"Gryffindor."

"Lorraine Riddle." A dark brown haired in a battle braid, emerald green eyed, pale skin tone girl walked up. The mention of her, seemed to caught the attention of some of the staff.

Is she famous as well? Maybe she's the daughter of someone who was famous here.

"Slytherin."

"Dean Thomas."

"Gryffindor."

"Y/n Turner."

That's me.

I move up to the stool and take a seat. The hat is soon placed on my head. "Interesting, very loyal and brave as well. But where to put you." The hat says so only I can hear.

"Better be Gryffindor." The hat says out load.

I'm with one of my friends, hopefully Ron gets in too.

I excitedly moved over to my new table, noticing how the girl named Riddle had her eyes trained on me. I sat down facing my back to her so I'm not sure if she stopped.

"Ron Weasley."

"Gryffindor." My prays were answered and the three of us are together.

"Kelsey Winter." A chestnut brown haired with a tousled lob hairstyle, grey eyed and light olive skin tone girl walks up.

"Ravenclaw."

I haven't really seen anyone else go there.

"Blaise Zabini."

"Slytherin."

He was the finally person, allow the ceremony to move on to Dumblefore's speech, it was rather short just tell us that the 3rd floor or something was off limits.

Upon the ending of the speech the food appears before us on the table. I was hungry so I begun grabbing different foods I was in the mood for and started to happily eat away at it as the house ghost begun to show themselves.

I look around and notice Malfoy jump causing me to chuckle, though I also noticed that the Riddle girl wasn't even a slight bit fazed by the ghost and neither was the Prince girl next to her.

Are they used to seeing them or something?

I turn back and listen in on Nearly headless Nick introduces himself and flips his neck.

That's a little gross and a painful way to die.

I started feeling bad for him after thinking that, but he seemed fine so that feeling soon went away.
