Reminder that they've just arrived at Hogwarts with their robes on, and no, Harry and Neville did not see Hermione get into her robes if you thought that.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The train started slowing down and Harry looked out the window, it was even bigger than he had imagined! The train suddenly stopped, nearly sending him flying into the window because of how fast it slowed down instead of stopping slowly.
Harry got up with Neville and Hermione following. Guess it's time for Ron bashing at the feast. The trio got out, hearing a loud voice over the loud voices of students reminiscing after a summer apart. "Firs' Year's this way!" They heard it, and Harry recognized it as Hagrid.
They started walking towards him, and they were a group of about 20 other people there. "Don' trip and follow me." No one talked until they started walking. "I hope we all get sorted into the same house, Harry, Neville," Hermione said like her life depended on it. Harry understood and nodded with a sense of great caring. They reached a dock with about 16 small boats and one large for Hagrid to get into. "Three to a boat, no more." Of course, people tried to get into boats with their pre-made friends which was mostly successful. At least our golden trio got into a boat all right.
The boats started moving when everyone was bundled up in one per 3 people. Like some Half-Bloods and most Muggle-Borns, Harry and Hermione were looking around the grounds and gaping at the castle. After about 10 minutes, they hit solid rock. "Alrigh' everyone! Outta the boats you go." Hagrid loudly said. They noticed a huge door, which opened a second later and a strict-looking teacher with a thin mouth came in.
"Thank you, Hagrid. Students, I am Professor McGonagall, Head of Gryffindor House, Deputy Headmistress and your Transfiguration teacher. Follow me." Harry admired how much authority she had and the trio along with everyone else filed behind her into the Entrance Hall, where she stopped walking indicating they should too.
"You will wait here until I come back to get you, do not go anywhere else," McGonagall instructed them, and most nodded their understanding as she left for the Great Hall.
A blond-haired boy with two boys who looked like gorillas came to Harry. "So the rumours are true, Harry Potter was on the train to Hogwarts. I'm Draco, Draco Malfoy." Neville chuckled at that. "Round face and looks like he's an orphan? You must be a Longbottom. What do you say, Potter? I could show you the right way, and the right people to be friends with unlike the blood traitor and the muggle-born." He looked like he wanted to say something else for that last word, but stopped himself from doing so and held his hand out. "No, sorry not sorry. I think I can tell the right way and who's good and bad." Harry said while nearly glaring at Malfoy. "My father will-" He nearly said that, good thing McGonagall came in before he could say it, Ay? Here's the best part about it, her reply. "Draco Malfoy, get back in line before I take away 5 points from whichever house you're sorted in.
He reluctantly went to the back with his gorilla friends, and they followed McGonagall up the stairs into the entrance hall, and she stopped them at the front where a hat a three-legged stool were there, and she took a piece of long parchment and started reading out a list. "Susan Bones!" She called, as a girl went up and put on the hat, and suddenly it came into life, shouting "Hufflepuff!". Most stood nervous, but some were very confident. "Draco Malfoy!" McGonagall called again, this time the hat instantly shouted "Slytherin!". It went on like that for a while, with people getting sorted into one of the four Hogwarts Houses (Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff). At last, we reached our trio and our special guest, Ron Weasley the about to be bashed so much.
"Ronald Weasley!" Two twins and someone with a "Prefect badge" looked the most worried, though the two twins, not so much. A boy with red hair who looked like he ate cakes and ice cream for breakfast stepped up, but tripped and rolled down all the way back to the First-Years still standing. "Sorry.." He muttered. He proceeded to go back up and put on the hat, and it shouted Gryffindor right when it hit his head.
"Harry Potter!" McGonagall called, and the hall went completely silent. Eyes followed Harry as he stepped up and put on the hat, he was defiantly feeling uncomfortable now. "Ah, an interesting one you are. How about... Slytherin?". Harry heard the rumours about Slytherin from Neville on the train to Hogwarts while they were practising spells and did not want to be in Slytherin. "Not Slytherin. Not Slytherin," Harry repeated in his head. "Not Slytherin? Well, well then. Gryffindor!" It called out at last.
The Gryffindor table cheered very loudly, to the point Professor Dumbledore had to quieten everyone down. The sorting then went on as normal, and to Harry's delight, both Neville and Hermione got sorted into Gryffindor as well.
"Looks like we are going to be in the same house," Harry told both of them. "Hermione, what's the water charm again?" Harry asked, he didn't quite remember it but knew it was a sixth-year spell. "It's 'Aguamenti' Harry." She said while putting some healthy food on her plate. "Aguamenti" Harry incanted doing the wand movements, while water started coming out of the end of his wand. "Woah, this is cool.". The entire hall looked at him as he said it a bit too loudly, and a sixth-year Slytherin shouted, "Hey! You aren't supposed to learn that until the sixth year!". No one paid them any attention, though. They were all too busy getting amazed that a first-year managed to cast a sixth-year spell.
"Off to bed you go now. I'm very sure you all want to get some sleep before your first day.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
After they reach the Fat Lady's corridor.
"Here is the entrance to Gryffindor tower, that password until December is "Caput Draconis," Percy the Prefect said. The portait of a Fat Lady in a pink dress asked them, "Password?" As they approached, so Percy said to her the password he told them about earlier.
The portrait then opened, revealing a portrait hole which they all climbed through to a common room where Percy stopped them. "The boys dormitory is on the stairs to the right, girls to the left.
Neville and Harry bid Hermione goodbye as they went to their respective dormitories. Fourtonately, Harry's bed was to the right of Neville.
"Hey Potter. Wanna become my best friend? I'm Ron by the way, Ron Weasley." The red haired boy said, holding out his hand like the other boy, Malfoy. "Sorry, not sorry, Weasley. I've already got two best friends, and they most defiantly didn't fall down the stairs during their sorting." Harry replied, making Weasley nearly trip, but he did actually trip from his own stupidity, and got up cursing Harry. There's even more, lads. Once he was in bed, he actually shit his own pants, and the idiot didn't even notice! Everyone started smirking at the stupid weasel, and he only realized next morning.
Remember to vote and give your opinions lads, I'll try to update tomorrow or on Monday.
