We had finally entered the school, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We were lined up in a queue ready to be sorted. 

We stood in the stairway for a long time waiting to be seated for the ceremony. Then professor Longbottom came and introduced himself. He was the deputy headmaster of Hogwarts. Then I saw him talk to a brown haired girl and she got very embarrassed yes, that was Alice Longbottom who was starting Hogwarts this year too.

Alice was Lorcan's god sister. So Alice does come around and hangs out in my house in some summers. But Lorcan mostly goes to the Longbottom's house as Hannah Abbott loves cooking for Lorcan as Lorcan loves appreciating people and Hannah Abbott loves being appreciated and my parents are also rarely home so that's also a reason. Ok back to the scene,

Then they made us stand in alphabetical order and brought us through the oak doors of the great hall. There were hundreds of  students pointing and laughing at us. I saw the prefects and the head boy and girl trying to keep the situation calm and quiet.

We eventually sat down and it was time for Professor Minevra McGonagall the Headmistress of Hogwarts to give her address and open up the sorting ceremony. She had caught the attention of the students and started her speech. To be honest I listened a while and then I realised that I had to pick a house.

The sorting hat according to me was a waste of time. It basically puts you in the house you think of so I had to start thinking about it now. 

My the end of the speech I had made up my mind. I wanted to be in Slytherin. In Slytherin there was no place to slack off or be reckless. My grandma was also a Slytherin and I really look up to her. Slytherins are professional too and if I become evil no one is going to be surprised either, so I feel that I want to be in Slytherin.

The sorting ceremony had officially started. Family names such as 'Anderson', 'Beverly', 'Donaldson', 'Flagger', 'Godson', 'Ichigo', 'Jaques' had been called mine is Scamander and that had a long way through. 

'Potter, Lily' said Neville Longbottom. She was the first known person to get sorted. She nervously sat on the chair and Professor Longbottom placed the sorting hat on her head. I could see her hardly squinting  her eyes. Then after 3 minutes of Albus and James totally looking tensed. The sorting hat shrieked....

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Lily jumped out of happiness and ran to the Gryffindor table. James had completely lost it he stood up on the table and started roaring. Fred Weasley was screaming "WE GOT POTTER!!!!".

I swear if they get me they'll be disappointed. Then the next familiar name was Alice Longbottom. The hat was placed on her head after a minute or so it screamed:

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

I could see disappointment on her face as she slowly walked to the Hufflepuff table. The next familiar name was none other than my bro.

"Scamander, Lorcan" they said. My mind was racing I have to not be Gryffindor. Then I looked at Lorcan's very tensed face. He sat in the chair and I could see him begging the hat for mercy. A few minutes later it said:

"GRYFFINDOR!!"

There were a few claps with Lily's being the loudest.

"Scamander, Lysander" professor called. I slowly got up and walked towards the platform then just before I stepped on the platform I slipped in my own robes. How embarrassing. Guess I was tensed. I mean I have undeniably good awareness but still this happened. I got up and sat of the very uncomfortable chair. They placed the heavy old sorting hat on me. 

"Hmmm.... Very very interesting, intimidating, talent yes, a lot of hardwork, very cunning and ambitious, brave and got nerve, smart and witty..... Very special case... You have the good qualities of every single house! How interesting? Now where shall I put you? Ravenclaw for smarts, Gryffindor for bravery, Hufflepuff for hard-work or Slytherin for your cunning nature. Where do I put you? I have come across many students but you indeed very different".

There was silence for a while.

My mind said 'Slytherin'. The hat burst into laughter "Ahhh... Different... Traces of good and evil... Slytherin would be promising but you may be a threat. Hmm..." it said 

There was more silence and I whispered "Not Gryffindor".

Well it had been past 5 minutes. It was making excuses why I should and should not be in a house. I swear to god it was just beating around the bush. 

"I have decided" it said. Bro... it made literally no progress for 5 minutes and now its all of a sudden it had decided.

"You are worthy to be a......" the sorting hat said and shrieked...

"GRYFFINDOR!"

There were a few claps from the table and Lorcan's face was filled with excitement. No, this was totally expected. I went and sat next to Lorcan. At this point I had just accepted that I'll never get anything I ever wanted and get everything I didn't want.

It was actually quite obvious. Maybe I was the one over-exaggerating it.

I sat there thinking my ill-fate and got over it after the great feast.

Oh yes, Hugo was Gryffindor too. Roxanne also joined us. While Lucy went to Hufflepuff.

I was still not over the fact that I was a Gryffindor. Then the prefects brought us to the stairway and outside of the common room. They told us the password which was 'Fizzing-Whizz Bees'. Some password. 

Anyways then I went up to my dorm which I shared with Lorcan, Hugo, Jared Jaques and Valentino Anderson.

The guys talked for a while introducing themselves and wrote a letter to their parents and slept pretty quickly. I was just lying in my bed thinking why my fate was so bad. I decided to write at 11:00 p.m. and send a letter to my parents and grandparents. 

I lied down in bed after changing into some comfy-clothes. Then I wondered what kind of stereotypes and students I was gonna face in the first day of school. I never really cared about acadamics because I already mugged up everything so I don't even try to study things again and again.

Its gonna be a long day. I can assure that for sure.
