  After boarding the train, Ron and I desperately searched for an empty carriage. I sighed; I suppose this was one of the benefits of getting up early. But then again, what kind of psychopath would go through that just to get a carriage?! After what seemed like forever, we still had not found a carriage, when I suddenly saw the boy who had asked for instructions, he was trying to shove his trunk through the train door. "Need a hand? ", I asked. "Yes please! "He panted, breathing heavily. With Ron, the boy and me holding his trunk, we somehow managed to get it up. "Talk about packing lightly ", I groaned, collapsing on the seat. I took this time to study the boy. He had luminescent green eyes and brown hair. He was wearing a ragged checkered sweater that looked as though it was second hand. Suddenly, I noticed something on his forehead... it was a scar... a lightning bolt scar.

You know how sometimes in movies; the characters spit out their water when they hear something. Well, I did not have water. But if I did, I assure you that would have happened. "You're Harry Potter! "I gasped.

"YOU'RE HARRY POTTER! "Ron gawked, noticing the scar.

"Oh him ", Harry said, "I mean yes..."

He looked uncomfortable so we dropped the subject. "I'm Aria... Aria Weasley "I said, extending my arm.

"And I'm Ronald Weasley "

"Nice to meet you both "

We spent the rest of the ride having vivid discussions on topics ranging from home life, siblings and Hogwarts.

"Our brother Percy's prefect this year, and he's awfully proud of it ", Ron said annoyed.

I scoffed "You can say that again, he only reminds us of every week, every day, every hour, every minute and every second. What house do you expect to be in Harry? "

"Houses??? "He asked, confused.

Ron filled him in. "There are four houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Gryffindor is for the brave and loyal, Hufflepuff is for the kind, Ravenclaw is for the smart and Slytherin is for the spoiled Assholes of the bunch. "

"Ron! I exclaimed, that's not very nice. "

"Well, it's true, he grumbled. There isn't a single wizard who's gone bad that wasn't from Slytherin. Anyhow, do you want to see some magic, Fred showed me a spell! "

Just then a bushy - haired girl came in, she was already dressed in her robes and had rather large front teeth.

"Excuse me, have any of you seen a toad? A boy named Neville's lost his, she said with a rather bossy tone.

But before we could even reply, she cut in. "Oh, are you doing magic, let's see then.

Ron looked at her and hesitantly lifted his wand, before rehearsing the words.

Sunshine daisies

Butterfly Mellow

Turn this Stupid

Fat rat yellow

Nothing happened.

The girl scoffed, "Are you sure that's a real spell? Well, it isn't very good, is it? Of course, I've only tried a few simple ones, but they've all worked for me ".

She came in, ignoring the fact that she was completely uninvited and whispered a spell, pointing at Harry's glasses.

Oculus Reparo

Harry's glasses were fixed! Ron gawked in awe, I simply rolled my eyes, biting back a criticism. This girl really just came in here to show off.

"Holy cricket! "The girl said, noticing the scar," you're Harry Potter! I'm Hermione Granger and you two are" ...

"Aria Weasley and that's my brother Ron ", I replied, the annoyance in my voice clear as ice.

"Pleasure ", she said whilst wrinkling her nose"

With that she left. I sighed happily, with people like that this was going to be a long year.

After leaving the train, we were greeted by a giant man with a beard.

"Ello Harry, Who're your friends? "

"This is Aria and Ron, Hagrid "

Hagrid nodded at us "Alright! First eres, follow me! "

We were transported on boats on top of the Hogwarts's Lake.

I had to stifle my laughter when a rather haughty looking boy fell face first into the lake.

At last, we were in Hogwarts. I gaped in awe at the moving stairways, the roaming ghosts and the alive pictures. The place was beautiful.

I felt the dopamine bursting inside me, God I was excited!

We were standing in front of the door to the great. A tall, stern looking lady explained that we would be sorted now and left us alone for a few minutes.

Suddenly a tall boy with brown curly hair and hazel eyes and a toe head blonde with long hair approached.

"So, it's true then! "The brown-haired boy exclaimed; Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts!

People began whispering in disbelief.

"I'm Mattheo... Mattheo Riddle and this Draco Malfoy "

Ron let out a small laugh and Malfoy turned to him sharply with a frown.

"Think my name's funny? "No need to ask for yours, "He sneered. "Red hair and a hand - me - down robe. You must be a Weasley, he said with a disgusted face "

Anger boiled inside me, but I was trying not to make a scene on the first day of school.

"You'll soon find out that some wizarding families are better than others Potter, you wouldn't want to go making friends with the wrong sort "he said staring directly at Ron.

Oh, that was it

I scoffed loudly and both boys turned to me. "As if you're so great. Toe blond hair, a snobby face, a haughty personality and idiotic. You must be a Malfoy "

The other boy glared at me "He is, and his family is highly respected, unlike yours..."

I laughed. "Well, I'm so sorry your highness, I had no intention of disrespecting such royalty! The sarcasm was dripping out of me and both boys were glaring intensely at me.

If looks could kill... well, let's just say it wouldn't be great for me.

Just then professor. Mcgonogall came in, it is time to be sorted, she said.

As we walked in, I noticed a rather dusty hat sitting on a stool.

When I call your name, I will place the hat on your head, and you will be sorted into a house.

Hermione Granger!

GRYFFINDOR!

A relieved look crossed her face as she sat herself at the Gryffindor table.

Mattheo Riddle!

SLYTHERIN! The hat said almost immediately.

Draco Malfoy!

Same thing.

Harry Potter!

The hall went silent and after a while the hat came to a conclusion.

GRYFFINDOR!

Ronald Weasley!

Ron went shakily to the stool. ANOTHER WEASLEY, the hat exclaimed, and Ron jumped. WELL, I KNOW JUST WHERE TO PUT YOU...GRYFFINDOR.

Arianna Weasley!

It was my turn, I walked calmly to the stool and sat down.

AND ANOTHER ONE, WAIT... BUT THIS ONE'S DIFFERENT.

Wait what?

YES, THIS ONE'S SLYER THAN THE OTHER'S, MORE INTELLIGENT TOO. SARCASTIC, OUTSPOKEN...SLYTHERIN!

Slytherin??? Ah Shiitake Mushrooms
