Disclaimer: I do not own Hogwarts or any characters, I only own Fawn, and Clare the rest belongs to the wonderful J.K.Rowling.

I fly high through the air on my broom. The crowd chants my name. Clare! Clare! Clare! Clare!

"CLARE!" Yells Charlie shaking me awake.

"What" I say groggily. Blinking at the sudden light.

"Sleeping beauty awakes, finally!" Exclaims Fawn while I yawn.

"Hurry up! The carriages are all going to be taken and we'll have to walk" pouts James.

"Sor-ry mr pouty face. Just let me grab my trunk."

We hobble out to the carriages with our trunks. "Why do these have to be so heavy" I heave, lifting my trunk into the carriage. And joining the others who are already seated.

The carriage begins to move and there castle comes into view. It's breathtaking no matter how many times you see it. A gentle breeze sweeps in from the lake, leaving a mist the feels magical, and the castle seems to twinkle in the night.

When the carriages pull up to the castle it starts to rain.

"Quick! Run!" I scream running as fast as I can with my trunk and trying not to get wet.

"Hi Nymphadora" I say as as every one adds their trunks to the pile in the entrance hall where they'll be taken up to our dorms. "How was your summer".

"It was amazing. We went to Russia and toured the ruins of the old Eastern School. We got to stay with a famous Auror." she said all this in one breath with a smile on her face. "How was yours?" She questions

"It was just most magnificent. Everything was ordered and proper" I say in a posh accent. "Just kidding" I grin "I stayed with the Weasleys. We played Quidditch and I convinced them to go to a muggle thing called a cinema."

"Ahem" James faked coughed awkwardly behind me.

" It was great seeing you again." I say, rolling my eyes as we run into the great hall.

The first years came into the hall looking scared and awkward. I caught Percy's eye and waved. He gave me a faint smile.

"Whose that" said Fawn. Gesturing towards Percy.

"Charlie's younger brother".

"What" whispers Charlie, leaning across the table.

"Percy" I whisper back. Listening to the start of the sorting.

Once all the first years were seated and started settling down Dumbledore stepped up to the podium.

"Welcome new student to your first year at hogwarts, and to our old student, welcome back. Now I have only a couple of words to say, tuck in". Announced Dumbledore, stepping down from the podium.

The chatter stated up in the hall as food appeared on the table.

"Yesssssss" called out Charlie, reaching across the table.

"What" said James, staring at him weirdly.

"RIBS!" Charlie cried enthusiastically.

"How are we friends with you" said Fawn, collapsing from laughter.

"Be...cause...we're...just...like...him" I manage to choke out between laughs.

I heaped piles of delicious ribs and potatoes on my plate. When deserts started appearing I snatched up the treacle tart.
