Chapter 3: Welcome to Hogwarts

"Alright kiddo, today's the day. I've taken the day off work to send you off to Hogwarts" said Stephen with a grin on his face looking at his son with his bags packed. "You excited boy? It's truly going to change your world - in a good way of course" 

"Yeah of course I'm excited, who do you think i am? Negative Nancy?" Y/N told his father, in return Stephen beamed at his son's excitement and eagerness especially in such odd circumstances. 

About an hour later they arrived at Kings Cross Station, to Y/N's confusion of course; "This seems... awfully 'muggle' to me" his Dad ignored this and ran headfirst into the border wall between platform nine and ten causing Y/N to almost faint at the idea of slamming into the wall and spending the next few months in a muggle hospital. "Well... here goes everything" he muttered to himself before warping through the wall as if there were nothing there and what was once filled with men in business suits was now a different sound of children screaming, a large red train blowing it's steam horn.

"Well holy-"

"Ah there you are son, don't go running off on me now."

"Yeah, as if I'd want to run away from this" Y/N grinned, his blue eyes reflecting everything with a small glint in the corners his father associated with excitement. 

"Well hurry along now, don't cause too much trouble aye?" Stephen told him rustling his hair and waving him goodbye

Y/N boarded the train and searched around for an open compartment before coming across one occupied by Ron in which he was already acquainted with, he was shoving his mouth full of chocolate frogs or well at least Y/N thought judging by the mass amount of wrappers and wizard cards. Before Ron could even say hello another boy walked in, Harry, in which Y/N had met at Diagon Alley only a few days before, he took a seat across from Y/N and exchanged greetings once again

"Merlin's beard... are you Harry Potter?" Ron asked not taking his gaze off the lighting bolt shaped scar on Harry's head. "I'm Ronald Weasley" Ron added as he engaged in a fight with his rat, he pulled out his wand and swished it around a few times before the same girl with bushy brown hair Y/N had met at Diagon Alley opened the compartment door, she gazed upon Ron's wand and giggled.

"Are you doing magic? Let's see it then"

Ron looked flustered but quickly took a deep breath in and spoke clearly "Sunshine, daises, butter mellow, turn this stupid fat rat yellow!" a small yellow spark hit the rat in which Ron was calling "Scabbers" but the rat simply looked at him like a disappointed father. Y/N and Harry couldn't hold their laughter and almost suffered a loss of oxygen before Ron, who now looked like a tomato told Hermione to do something better which silenced Y/N and Harry before she aimed at Harry's broken glasses and muttered "Occulus Reparo" the frame of the glasses quickly formed back into a state that looked almost new.

Harry stared at his glasses, Ron hid his face and Y/N beamed at Hermione's ability 

"Holy cricket you're Harry Potter!" she bellowed in shock causing Y/N and Harry to look at her in confusion 

"Why does everyone keep addressing Harry and I like the Royal Family" he asked genuinely to which Hermione just giggled and walked off going to help a round faced boy find his pet toad. 

Y/N, Harry and Ron became closer over the time of the trip that all seemed to quick before the train pulled to a stop and everyone piled out 

"Firs' years ova her'" a loud voice bellowed as they all headed towards the docks where a gigantic man was waiting for them "Ello 'arry" he called out from his boat as they began rowing across the lake towards a magnificent castle the likes of which Y/N had never seen before

"Hello Hagrid" Harry called back but no where near as loud. 

They climbed the stairs and were met by a stern looking woman in a green attire.

"Welcome to Hogwarts" she said

"Now shortly you will walk through these doors and join your classmates but before that you will be sorted into your houses. There is Gryffindor, the house for the brave and chivalrous, Ravenclaw, the house of wisdom and knowledge, Hufflepuff, the house for the friendly and outgoing, and Slytherin for the cunning and ambitious while you are here your house will be like your family, your triumphs will earn you and your house points and the house with the most points at the end of the school year is awarded the ho-

"TREVOR" a boy Y/N recognized to be Neville from the train ran through the crowd and picked up his toad. McGonagall gave him a stern look and finished her sentence as she lead them into the castle where Y/N found himself standing in a gigantic hall with four tables lined up alongside eachother each housing a different house

"The sorting will begin momentarily" McGonagall finished

"I will call you up one at a time and place the sorting hat upon your head" 

Harry and a blonde kid had a slight exchange however Y/N didn't pay attention and he observed all the teachers at their head table before McGonagall began calling up the first years. Y/N didn't pay attention until a name was called that caught it

"Hermione Granger" Y/N watched as the bushy haired girl took her place on the stool and after a few seconds was sorted into Gryffindor, next was the blonde haired boy Y/N now knew as Draco, the hat barely even touched him before he was quickly sorted into Slytherin

"Ronald Weasley" Ron took his place on the stool and once again was sorted into Gryffindor leading to a large applause from certain other red headed students. 

"Harry Potter" at this the whole hall fell to silence awaiting to see where the boy who lived would be sorted, Y/N could've sworn he saw Harry mumbling to the sorting hat before it yelled
"GRYFFINDOR"
the entire gryffindor table rose to their feet and a "We got Potter" chant started led by none other than the Weasley twins. Hermione and Ron clapped and cheered loudly for their friend

"Y/N L/N" 

Once again the room fell to silence much like a mufliato charm had been cast, Y/N took his seat on the small wooden stool and McGonagall placed the giant hat on his head. 

"Hm, very wise... ambitious, but brave and a heart of gold... but what is this? well of course.. you must be a.."

"GRYFFINDOR"

the entire gryffindor table once again rose to their feet and an "Y/N" chant erupted, Y/N thought he saw the headmaster beam at him as he took his seat next to Hermione and opposite Ron and Harry. 

Dumbledore began his speech about things students were not permitted to do and places they were not permitted to go but Y/N barely paid attention he just couldn't believe how quickly his life had changed. 

Dumbledore clapped his hands and a banquet appeared on each table.

"Holy sh-" Y/N said as a ghost with it's head half hanging on it's neck appeared from seemingly nowhere

"Have a good summer Nicholas?" Percy asked the ghost 

"Well besides once again being rudely denied a role in the headless hunt once again, yes I did."

Nicholas pulled his head to the side in dramatic fashion causing Hermione to squeal

"I think i'm going to be sick" said Y/N covering his mouth 

After the feast Percy instructed the first years to follow him to their common room, they arrived at a portrait containing an obese lady who then asked them

"Password?" 

"Caput Dragonis" Percy responded in an awfully bossy tone when the picture swung open revealing a room containing comfortable looking chairs and couches, a cozy fireplace and other things, "Welcome to the Gryffindor common room" Percy began again "The boys dormitories are up the stairs to the left and the girls to the right, your belongings will be awaiting you on your assigned bed"

Y/N and the other boys made their way into the dormitory where Y/N found a very neat king bed with his luggage sat infront of it and his owl in which he had named Grey, he was never very good at names, sat atop the bed frame his bed was placed in between Harry and Ron's who was then next to Seamus and Dean Thomas.

After socializing with the other boys for a bit Y/N got tired and drifted off to sleep.
