When we arrive at hogwarts we were greeted by a half giant whose name was supposed to be Hagrid who ushered us to a fleet of small row boats. "Four to a boat!" Hagrid called out. Hermione, Harry, Ron (I finally found out his name) a full ofnd I sat in a boat, while Harry put his hand on his scar and made a eye contact with me.

Soon we were met by a big castle. It was the most beautiful castle in the world.

"Hogwarts" i heard Ron breathe I was still in awe at the size of the place as i broke my gaze i can't stop thinking about the sorting ceremony.
I hope i get sorted in Slytherin, I thought. Ravenclaw didn't sound too bad Gryffindor either. All i knew was i don't want to be sorted in Hufflepuff. 

I thrown out my thoughts by Hermione pulling me out of the boat onto castle grounds of Hogwarts.
The school was even better up close. Hagrid ushered us into the castle and up a long staircase. When we got to the top of said staircase, there was a woman waiting for us, she was wearing a typical pointy witch hat and green robes.

"Firs' years Professor McGonagall" Hagrid said.
"Thank you Hagrid, I'll take them from here." Professor McGonagall said. She lead us into a door, that was i suppose to be the entrance hall. She paused at the medieval looking doors and take her chance to introduce the castle.

"Welcome to Hogwarts" Professor McGonagall said. "In few moments you will walk through these doors and join your classmate but before you can do that you will be sorted into houses. When you are at this school your houses will be like your family. You triumphs will earn you points, while any rule-breaking will lose you points. There are four house. Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. The sorting ceremony will start shortly. Please wait quietly as we get everything ready for you." Professor McGonagall said as she walks a way.

"How exactly will they sort us?" Harry whispered to Ron.

"I don't know" Ron replied. "But i think its a test from what i heard with Fred it was bloody brutal and it hurts alot" Ron said in fear.

I saw Harry gone pale i smirk already knowing what the 'test' was. Unlike the Weasley and the famous Harry potter i read about the four founder of Hogwarts and how they sort students, they just put a spell on a hat that would sort out the first years.
I rolled my green eyes as i heard a blonde introducing this "Crabbe and Goyle" who looked like they ate too much "Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." The blonde said. I heard Ron let out a chuckle. Draco's gaze shifted to Ron.

"Think my name is funny do you? No need to ask yours" he said. "Red haired, hand me down robes? You must be a Weasley" as Draco turn back to Harry.

"You'll soon find out that some families are better than others Potter. You don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort, i can help you with that" he extend his hand at Harry.

"I think i can tell the wrong sort to myself thanks." Harry replied coldly.
Soon Professor McGonagall walked back to the hall and tapped Draco's shoulder.

"We're ready for you" she said.
We all walked through the door to find a hall with four tables which i assumed were the four houses.

"Its not a real celling" Hermione said.
"Its bewitched to look like the night sky. I read about in-"

"Hogwarts a history" i said cutting her off. "One of your favourite books"
Hermione smiled at me as Professor McGonagall stop us at the front of the hall where a singe stool and a ragged hat sat on top of.

"Will you wait along here please? Professor Dumbledore would like to say a few words" Professor McGonagall said.

I have a few notices i wish to announce. To the first years please note that the forest is strictly forbidden to all students, also our caretaker Mr. Filch" Dumbledore said as he gestured to a man with a cat that had strange red eyes. "Has asked me to remind you that the 3rd floor corridor is out of bounds to all those who wish to not die in a painful death. Thank you" He said as he took his seat again.

"Well that was something" i said while looking at Dumbledore.
Soon the hat start to speak and sang a song, as the hat finish singing. The halls burst into cheers Professor McGonagall then stood up and came toward us.

"Now when i called out your name, you will come forth, i shall place the hat on your head and you will be sorted into your houses"

I watched as Professor McGonagall unrolled a roll of parchment.
I zone out the whole sorting cermony until were close to letter 'R' which is the first letter of my last name, the only thing i remember is that Hermione was sorted in Gryffindor, soon she called the name that we are all waiting for.

"Potter, Harry!"

The hall erupted with whispers that Harry Potter has come to Hogwarrts, as Harry made his way to the sorting hat, as soon as the hat was placed on Harry's head the hall was instantly silent. Even Albus Dumbledore stood up and watch Harry.
It was almost five minutes of Harry arguing with that hat. The sorting hat finally bellowed and yelled. "GRYFFINDOR!"

A wide smile spread across Harry's face as he joined Hermione and Ron. As Professor McGonagall look back at the parchment. There was fear in her eyes.

"R-Riddle Y-Y/N" Professor McGonaGall said

"Ahh another Riddle i see... The sorting hat said.  Your father was great you know.. too bad he turned out to be.. ah enough about that, let see hmmm.. you have a brain of a Ravenclaw, Bravery of a Gryffindor but you have ambitions and cunningness that's why i'll put you in.. SLYTHERIN!!"

There was silence Professor McGonagall look even more worried same to Dumbledore. Soon Dumbledore look at me with a fake smile on his face. I walked over to the Slytherin table and met by Draco Malfoy.

"Y/N Riddle huh? I think will be great friends" he said smirking as i shake his hands.
