The train whistles into Hogsmeade station as night falls. Hagrid, holding a lantern, walks along the side aisle while people dressed in robes flood out of the train. "First years! This way, please!" Hagrid calls out, ushering the newcomers. Y/n, Ron, and Harry, now in their robes, approach Hagrid. 

"Hello, Y/n," Hagrid greets them. 

"Hey, Hagrid," Y/n responds.

 Ron is amazed. Hagrid leads them to the boats. "This way to the boats! Follow me," he says. As the boats make their way across a vast lake, Hogwarts Castle looms ahead in all its grandeur, leaving everyone in awe. "Wicked," Ron exclaims.

As they continue to approach the castle, the first-year students walk inside and up the grand staircase. we see Professor McGonagall waiting for them on a higher level. She taps her fingers on a stone railing and walks to the top of the stairs to greet the newcomers, saying,

 "Welcome to Hogwarts I'm Professor McGonagall. In just a moment, you will enter through these doors and join your classmates. However, before you take your seats, you will be sorted into one of four houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. While you're here, your house will be like your family – your successes will earn points for your house, but any rule-breaking will result in lost points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points will be awarded the house cup."

 Suddenly, a scared-looking boy, spots his toad sitting near McGonagall and jumps forward, exclaiming "Trevor!" while catching his toad. Some of the students laugh as he backs away, embarrassed. McGonagall then informs the students that the sorting ceremony will begin shortly and leaves for the Great Hall, but not before smiling softly at y/n in the crowd.

A young boy with short blonde hair, who looks somewhat wicked, speaks up.

"I heard the rumors on the train are true. Y/n Grimblehawk is now attending Hogwarts."

 Whispers of "Y/n Grimblehawk?" are heard throughout the students.

"This is Crabbe and Goyle. And I'm Malfoy... Draco Malfoy. "

Ron chuckles at his name

"Do you find my name amusing? I don't need to ask for yours. You have red hair and wear a hand-me-down robe, so you must be a Weasley. And you must be that Potter" he sneered and added "Grimblehawk Be careful not to associate with the wrong crowd. I can help you with that."

 Draco extends his hand to Y/n.

"I don't need you to tell me who the wrong crowd is. Thanks, but no thanks. "

Ron and Harry laughed

Draco glares at Y/n. McGonagall interrupts and taps Draco on the shoulder with a piece of paper. He leaves Y/n with one last glare.

 "We're ready for you now. Please follow me."

McGonagall guides the group through the grand doors into the Great Hall, where thousands of students sit at four long tables and floating candles illuminate the ceiling that resembles a starry sky. Hermione points out that it's not real and is just bewitched to look that way, a fact she learned from reading "Hogwarts: A History." The first years are then led to the front where the Sorting Hat sits on a stool. McGonagall instructs them to wait along the side as Professor Dumbledore is set to make an announcement before they begin.
