5. Doorway to New Beginnings

The diamonds shone brightly in the night sky; brighter were the faces of young children filled with curiosity and anticipation, waiting to capture the essence of the magical world from its core.

Students scattered around the stations, some waiting for their friends, young children parting ways to unite later in the castle.

A group of teenagers stood together, saying their goodbyes and 'see you soon's to their younger friends. They all had smiles on their face.

"If you're really really lucky, like Sirius here, you'll be able to share same house as the great James Potter" James grinned. "Honestly, I wish both of you would be there."

"I will do anything to stay away from you Mr. Potter, you're a bad influence." Amara chuckled.

"House doesn't stop us from enjoying each other's company, right?" Regulus questioned, glancing at his brother.

"Of course. I would just appreciate it if I could be in the same house as my brother, we could spend more time together. Anyways, we ought to go. See you soon, brother." Sirius pulled Regulus into a warm embrace.

"We should leave or we will miss the carriage. Well, Hagrid is running a bit late I assume, oh speaking of him, there he is, long live. Well then, see you soon. " Remus smiled and rushed.

Sirius gave a soft smile to Amara and left with his friends. Regulus and her stayed and a giant showed up, with a big smile and glimmering eyes.

"Firs'-years! Firs'-years over here! 'ello' there. S'rry for de delay" The giant introduced himself and was addressing the first year's.

Amara felt a gentle tap on her shoulder as she was listening to the ground keeper and found her brother smiling at her.

"You're aren't nervous, are you? You do look a bit tensed." Eilam accused.

"A bit overwhelmed, I will get over it. Can't wait for the sorting. Do you want to say something like wanting to spend quality time with your sister and how you wish for your sister to be in the same house as you are? You know I'll be there." Amara chuckled.

"What? Ofcourse not. Don't worry about the sorting. Mother and father have gave enough of those.
I got plenty of that. Yours must be worse because of a certain heir of a noble household. The sorting hat knows where you belong. Don't stress it. You know we will see each other everyday."

" I know where I belong, we will be seeing each other a lot then. I'll be haunting you. " Amara grinned.

"Oh whatever. Now hush! go join the others. Have a great time, you will remember it for the rest of your time, you should make it a happy, good memory." With that he left and joined others waiting for him.

Amara ran on to reclaim her position next to Regulus as he gave her a smile and they walked together through a narrow path through complete darkness. It looked as if the darkness parted ways for the path.

"Let me guess, a speech about how wonderful it would be to have you in his house? It might be a older sibling thing." Regulus guessed with a smile.

No he did not, infact he looked quite disinterested of the idea.

She just smiled.

"Yeh'll get ye firs' sight o' Hogwarts in a sec, 'bout now!" The giant merried.

They reached the magnificent lake full on it's glory. The water was decorated with silver light and little diamonds. The water rested royally, letting the young audience to marvel at her easing beauty and beyond the dark velvety waters stood the Hogwarts castle proudly with it's heads high, full on it's glory, the magic inviting the young children who seeks it's wisdom.
