The Girl Raised By a Qilin Book 1: EDITED

Welcome to Hogwarts and The Sorting Hat

It is nighttime at Hogsmeade station, and the train blows its whistle and pulls outside the station. Hagrid walks along the side aisle, with a lantern. People, in their robes, begin pouring out of the train. 

Hagrid: "Right, then! First years! This way, please! Come on, now, don't be shy! Come on now, hurry up!" 

Harry and Ron, now in their robes, walk up to Hagrid. 

Hagrid: "Hello, Harry. Y/n." 

Harry: "Hey, Hagrid." 

Y/n: "Hi." 

Ron: "Whoaa!" 

Hagrid: "Right then. This way to the boats! Come on, now, follow me." 

Later, a large number of boats are plugging across a vast lake, where up ahead a huge castle, known as the Hogwarts Castle, can be seen. People are in awe. 

Ron: "Wicked." 

They continue on further toward the castle. Later on, the first-year students walk into the castle, and up the staircase. As the camera pans, we see on a higher level, that Professor McGonagall is waiting. She taps her fingers on a stone railing and then goes to the top of the stairs to greet the newcomers. 

McGonagall: "Welcome to Hogwarts. 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. Now while you're here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you house points. Any rule breaking, and you will lose points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup." 

A scared-looking boy called Neville Longbottom spots his toad sitting near McGonagall. He jumps forward. 

Neville: "Trevor!" 

He catches his toad; McGonagall stares down at him as some of the students laugh. 

Neville: "Sorry." 

He backs away, embarrassed. 

McGonagall: "The sorting ceremony will begin momentarily." 

She leaves to go into the Great Hall. A young boy, with short blonde hair, called Draco Malfoy, speaks up. 

Draco: "It's true then, what they're saying on the train. Harry Potter and Y/n Potter have come to Hogwarts." 

Some of the students are heard whispering, "Harry Potter?" "Y/n Potter?" 

Draco introduces his two friends. 

Draco: "This is Crabbe and Goyle. And I'm Malfoy...Draco Malfoy. [Ron snickers at his name] Think my name's funny, do you? No need to ask yours. Red hair, and a hand-me-down robe? You must be a Weasley. Well, soon find that some wizarding families are better than others, Potter. Don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there." 

He extends his hand to Harry. 

Y/n smirks.

Y/n: Somewhat deserved. To mock someones name is to mock their entire identity.

Harry: [not going to take Draco's arrogance] "I think I can tell who the wrong sort are for myself, thanks." 

Draco glares. 

Draco: "What about-" 

McGonagall returns and taps Draco on the shoulder with a paper. He leaves Harry with one last glare. 

McGonagall: "We're ready for you now. Follow me." 

She leads everyone through two large doors and into the Great Hall, where there are four long tables with thousands of students, as well as floating candles. The roof appears to be the sky.
