1996
Wednesday September 1st
I got a letter over the summer that I was going to be Gryffindor's prefect, I told Hermione straight away, I could tell that she was jealous, but she was happy for me, so now I'm on my way to Dumbledore's office to discuss what my jobs as prefect are.
I knock on his door, and I hear his voice: "Come in"
I enter the room and Dumbledore is sitting at his desk doing some paperwork he looks up and says thrilled: "Oh Harlow, glad you could come, it's very exciting being prefect, are you ready?"
"I am professor"
Dumbledore: "That's good, so you must show the first years to their dormitories of course and help them settle in. And there will be some meetings that you need to attend to"
"Who is the other Gryffindor prefect?"
Dumbledore: "I thought you knew, its Ron Weasley"
"Oh okay, that's great"
Dumbledore: "I'll see you both at the feast and then it's time to show the first years to their dormitories."
"Yes professor."
I leave Dumbledores office and then go down to the sorting ceremony, I sit along with the other fifth years, all the first years are standing in front waiting on their turn, I remember my first day, I was standing with the other first years, listening to Ginny talking with the others and I felt so lonely, when the sorting hat was placed on me I was so afraid that I got placed it Hufflepuff, I would want to be in the same house as Hermione. Lucky for me, I was placed in Gryffindor, and I was so relieved.
I don't really pay attention to the sorting ceremony; I catch a few names that comes into Gryffindor. Logan Ravens, a short blond boy who looks way too young to be at Hogwarts. Hunter Evergreen, a Latino boy with the cutest smile, Liv, and Leah Autumn they look like twins, and I think that they will be trouble just looking at their smile. And Eleanora Flower a short black-haired girl who looks just as nervous as I was on my first day. They all sit down with the four other first years that I didn't catch the name on. Just before the feast begins Dumbledore makes his annual speech and we sing the school song.
When the feast appears on the tables I see that Ron stuffs himself like he always does, I see that Hermione is rolling eyes at him, and I know that she has given up on disciplining him.
