The sudden stop of the train jolts Y/n from her slumber. She rubs the tiredness from her eyes before noticing the two boys still lay sleeping in their seats. A tired hum escapes her lips as she stands up, "Hey, wake up you two. We've arrived, we have got to get going." Her voice making Harry and Ron stir in their seats. She motions for them to follow her, opening the compartment door while they yawn standing up from their seats.
Stepping out on to the platform, the three of them were met with the cold brisk night air. The feel of the chill helped to dispel any drowsiness she had left. "First years! First years over here!" Someone's voice booms with an order.
"Oh it's Hagrid! Come on." Harry says hurrying off to where Hagrid was standing. Ron and Y/n look at each other and shrug before following after Harry.
"Right this way first years! Don't be shy!" Hagrid laughs and winks at Harry who's excitedly the first one over to follow Hagrid. So Harry, Ron and Y/n, along with the other first years follow after him off the platform and over to a fleet of boats. All the first-year students pile into the boats ready to ferry them across the dark waters.
As the boats glide across the waters of the Black Lake, Y/n marvels in the breathtaking view of the beautiful night sky above them. Upon hearing the awes in front of her from Ron and Harry, she looks ahead of them seeing the castle of Hogwarts coming into view. "Wow..." A sense of excitement rushed through her, captivated by the enchanting sight of the school.
Once they reach the shore, the first years pile off the boats on to the docks. Everyone begins following after Hagrid, while Harry and Ron follow in suit still in awe. Y/n and the others enter the grand entryway lit with flaming torches. There at the top of the stairs stands Professor McGonagall, the deputy headmistress and the Transfiguration professor. "Welcome to Hogwarts" The stern look on the Professor's face softens as she looks out at the new first years. "In a few moments, you will pass through these doors and join your fellow classmates. But before you take your seats, you will be sorted into your houses."
Piquing her curiosity, Y/n listens as the four houses are named- Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Dread fills within her as her mind wonders what house she'll be put into.
"As you enter your respective houses, you will find a home away from home. Your housemates will become like your family, supporting and encouraging you throughout your journey at Hogwarts." The first years listen to Professor McGonagall intently, their eyes wide with anticipation. They all listen as she explains the importance of earning house points and the consequences of breaking the rules.
Suddenly a boy calls out from behind, "Trevor!" Y/n and the other first years turn their attention to where the voice came from. Neville Longbottom looking anxious as he rushes to the front of the crowd to his toad that sits beside Professor McGonagall's feet. She looks down at Neville with a bemused expression while he picks Trevor up in his hands and takes a step back.
