It is nighttime at Hogsmeade station, the train blows its whistle and pulls outside the station. Hagrid walks along the side aisle, with a lantern "Right, then! First years! This way, please! Come on, now, don't be shy! Come on now, hurry up!"Hagrid calls out
Harry and Ron, now in their robes, walk up to Hagrid.
"Hello, Harry" Hagrid says noticing the young boys. "Hey Hagrid" Harry smiles up at the giant man "Whoa," Ron says looking up surprised.
"Right then. This way to the boats! Come on, now, follow me" Hagrid continues with his task.
Later, a large number of boats are plugging across a vast lake, where up ahead there is a huge castle, known as The Hogwarts Castle, that can be seen. People are in awe. "Wicked," Ron says to Harry whose eyes are wide at the beautiful castle.
Klaus looks mesmerized at the sight before whispering "I need to paint that." The Mikaelsons nod in agreement with their brother also mesmerized by the beauty of the castle.
In another boat are Cedric and Iris with Cedric's other friends "It is so beautiful" Iris says looking at the castle the others smile nodding in agreement with the girl. Cedric's friend Ben noticing the scars on Iris's neck eyes widen before looking up at Iris asking "What did you say your last name was Iris?" Cedric glares at his friend in warning knowing what his friend has started to piece together. Iris smiles up at him and replies "Oh! It's Potter" she informs him.
James and Lily smile at Cedric "Thank you" James tells Cedric. Cedric looks confused before asking his friend's father "For what?" "For being a good friend to my daughter" Cedric smiles and tells him that is something he would never have to worry about because she will always have him as her best friend. Making Iris smile grateful to have a friend like Cedric hoping that what he says is true and that she will never have to lose him.
Ben noticing his friend's glare tries to stop from fangirling to the best of his ability and smiles saying "It's nice to meet you, Iris" Iris smiles at Ben before telling him it's nice to meet him too Ben is, meanwhile squealing in his head at the girl who fought smiling at him. Cedric smiles happy that his friend didn't make his new friend uncomfortable and decides to help by changing the topic.
"Poor Ben" Marlene says amused by the boy on screen and chuckling.
They continue further towards the castle. Later on, the first-year students and Iris walk into the castle, and up the staircase. As the camera pans, we see on a higher level, that Professor McGonagall is waiting for them. She taps her fingers on a stone railing and then goes to the top of the stairs to greet the newcomers.
"Welcome to Hogwarts. Now, in a few moments, you will pass through these doors and join your classmates. But before you can take your seats, you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Now while you're here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you points. Any rule-breaking and you will lose points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup" McGonagall informs the children.
"Minnie that's the same speech you gave us! I thought we were special to you" Sirius yells out dramatically.
"It works well why change it and stop calling me that Sirius!"McGonagall replied sternly causing the said boy to just cross his arms and pout to Moony. Remus just rolls his eyes before patting his back giving into his friend's dramatics saying "There there" while patting his back.
A scared-looking boy called Neville Longbottom, spots his toad sitting near McGonagall. He jumps forward.
"Trevor!" the boy yells as he catches his toad; McGonagall stares down at him as some of the students laugh "Sorry" he mumbles backing away embarrassed.
