RILEY'S POV

The train pulled into the station at Hogsmead. Finally! The train ride was soooooo long. I thought it was never gonna end. I stand up and grab my trunk, and owl. My owl's name is Nico. He had black feathers and Amber eyes. Just like my fav character from the Percy Jackson books. 

I turn to the seat I had sat in on the boring train ride. I hade left my hoodie on the seat. I grab it and run to catch up with my friends. 

It is dark when we step off the train. I see the carts waiting for us. I run to catch up to my friends. 

"CC, wait up!" I call. 

Casey turns around to look at me. "Ok. But hurry! I want to watch the sorting ceremony." 

I run to her and we run to the cart. It starts to move once we jump into it. I almost land on Tilda and Casey almost landed on Daisy.

"Sorry Tills. Didn't mean to sit on you." I settle into the seat next to her, and Casey is doing to same to Daisy. "It's alright." Daisy says. "I know I'm so gorgeous you couldn't resist." She flips her hair. We are all drama queens here. 

"Yep. Couldn't resist." Casey sits down and gets out her phone. Yes, I know, we aren't supposed to have phones at Hogwarts, but Kate figured out a way to bypass the spell that disconnected them, so, we have our phones!

"What time is it?" Sophia asks. 

"6:43." Casey replies. 

All of a sudden, our cart hits a bump. We all fall out of our seats. We get back up and look around. I didn't see a rock anywhere. Well, guess it don't matter. 

"Who do you think is gonna be our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher?" Noelia asks. "Whoever it is, it can't be worse than Dumbbitch." That's what everyone calls Dolores. I think I even heard Professor Mcgonagall call her that once. 

"Oh, I heard it was going to be Snape." Grace said. I groan. Snape was the worst. He always hated our friend group, probably cause we blew up potions all the time. 

I looked into my trunk and pulled out my eyes wand. 

"Guys, phones up! Now!" Tilda hissed at us. We were arriving to the gates on our home. Hogwarts. I can't believe this was our last year. No more first years to prank. No more teachers to annoy. 

I shoved my phone back into my trunk, and hit something hard. A book. I pulled it out. It was House of Hades. I forgot I had put it in there. I put it back in and latched my trunk shut. 

"These robes are so uncomfortable! I want to change into my weekend clothes.." Daisy complained. 

"Guys, we should definitely do that. Put on our best cloths over our robes, and wear them to the Sorting Ceremony!" I yell, getting excited.  

"We need our other trunks though." Kate said. 

"No we don't. I've got some cloths stored in my trunk." I say. I pull out a couple of sweatshirts. One has a Cabin 13 logo on it, another is a plain black one, and the other is a gray one with stars on it. 

I pull on the Cabin 13 one, and hold up the other two. "Who needs one?"

"I don't. I got my Selena Gormez sweatshirt!" Casey says, pulling it out of their trunk. That's their fav sweatshirt. "Slayyyy CC!" I say. 

"I have have my rainbow sweater." Tilda said. "Slayyyy!" I say. 

"I'll take the gray one with stars Ry." Kate says, reaching for it. I toss it to her and she pulls it on. 

"Can I borrow the black one?" Grace asks. I toss it to her too, and she grabs it, but drops it. She picks it up and puts it on. 

"I've got my fav sweatshirt!" Daisy says. Her sweatshirt says, 

"I won't be known for keeping my mouth shut, and I'm okay with that"

I love her sweatshirt. She takes off her glasses and pulls it on. Noelia pulls on a purple sweater and Sophia pulls on a chicken sweatshirt. 

We all look ridiculous, with the bottom of our robes looking like skirts. The cart slows to a stop. We climb out with our luggage. The students and professors stare, but we don't care. We rule this school. We walk to our tables, Kate, Sophia, and Noelia head for the Ravenclaw table to sit, Tilda, Daisy, and Casey go to the Gryffindor table, and Grace and I head to Slytherin table. 

We sit down and stare at Mcgonagall.  She starts the sorting ceremony, and we sit there. I'm so bored by the time it ends. Dumbledore stands, and motions for silence. The hall silences, and he gives the annual speech. Blah, blah, blah. 

After a while, the Feast starts. I grab all my fav foods, and eat it all very quickly. 

About an hour later, I head to bed. I walk down to the dungeons, and stop at our house entrance. "Snakes and skulls." I say the password, and walk inside. I walk to my room, which I share with Grace and another Slytherin who I forgot her name. I climb into bed and sigh. Just another day at Hogwarts. I don't want Potions tomorrow.
