The train has arrived at Hogwarts. Finally! I had an idea of what to do to Hermione and Ron and you might think it was cruel but it's just a prank. Somewhat. I got the idea when i remembered something I read about Hogwarts.

We all walked out of the train to see a giant man walking around calling to all the first years. We all walked over to him and it seemed that Harry knew him.

"Hiya Harry. Who are these people? Have you made friends already?" Hagrid asks politely.

"Ya. This is Ron, Ana and Hermione. They're all in first year like I am." Harry replies happily.

"Nice to meet'cha. Now lets go to the boats so you can see Hogwarts for the first time." We all start to follow Hagrid to Hogwarts with the crowd of other first years and I noticed the blonde haired kid who was rude to me earlier. The two fat *cough* sorry, chubby guys were tailing him like body guards. 

We all approached the lake and Harry, Ron, Hermione and I all sat down in the same one. I smilied, excited to finally see Hogwarts for the first time. The boats started moving and as we rounded a corner, I could see Hogwarts in front of us. The lights were on and it looked awesome. Now while everyone was distracted.

"Hey guys." I say to everyone.

"What?" Hermione asks, still staring at Hogwarts in amazement.

"VOLDEMORT!" I shout but not loud enough so that the other people in the other boats could hear. Hermione and Ron both jumped around five feet in the are and, as I was expecting,  right into the frozen lake water. A loud splash could be heard as the both came up for air, gasping.

"Are you guys okay?" I ask mockingly while smiling. They both just glare at me and start to climb back up into the boat.

"Hermione, Ron! Are ye alright?" Hagrid calls from his boat, about ten meters away.

"Ya we're fine." Ron calls back. Hermione and Ron are still both glaring at me. I try and fail to hold back my laughter and I fall on the bottom of the boat laughing my head off. Soon, Harry joins me and we are being death glared by Hermione but the fact that they were both soaked kinda ruined the effect. 

"So, how's your day going?" I ask them teasingly.

"Oh you know, cloudy with a bit of SOAKING WET." Ron shouts and the people on the nearby boats look at us strangely.  Wow! I never knew that Ron had a sense of humour.

Finally we get off the boats and we start walking to the castle where we are greeted by a stern but nice looking lady.

"Hello new students. I am Professor McGonnagal and I am the Head of Gryffindor and the transfiguration teacher here at Hogwarts. Soon you will go into the grand hall where you will be chosen to be put in one of the four houses here where you will stay under your education is finished. Follow me." Professor McGonnagal says and we all follow her as she walks through the halls. 

I looked around and I could see paintings where the people moved and I saw stair cases that were always shifting. I thought is was pretty cool. 

We then stopped in front of huge wood doors. I'm assuming that they led to the great hall where we were to get put into a respective house. 

"Soon, you will go through these doors and walk down to the front. You will then be called up one by one to be sorted. Just wait a moment." Then, Professor McGonnagal walked through the doors leaving all of us first years standing there, not knowing what to do. 

I spotted the blonde haired boy from before approach Harry.

"I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it with my own eyes. You're Harry Potter" He says, loud enough so that everyone could hear and then they all started to stare at Harry. I didn't really listen as they began to talk so I looked around instead to observe my surroundings. I then saw something white float out of the walls and realized that it was a ghost.

The kids start screaming when they saw the ghosts but I just staid quiet, I mean they're ghosts, they can't do much. 

"Ok everyone let's go." Professor McGonnagal calls when she finally reenters the room. We all file behind her in a single file line. We walk through the doors and I see four long tables with a coloured banner above it. We started to walk down the centre of all the students to a platform where it appeared all the teachers sat. In the middle was a worn, old hat set on a three legged stool.

Once we all got on the stage, the hat began to sing about the founders of Hogwarts. Listening to it, Gryffindor sounded like the house for the brave, Ravenclaw sounded like the house for the smart, Hufflepuff sounded like the house for the other people and Slytherin sounded like the house for the cunning. Looking at all the people sitting there and remembering what I have been told about it, Slytherin sounded like the evil house of Hogwarts.

Professor McGonnagal started calling peoples names to come up to be sorted. It went in alphabetical order from the last names so of course I was one of the last people to be called up because my name starts with a W. Yay. 

When I finally get called up, I walk up nervously to the chair and sit down. The hat is placed over my eyes and I hope that it will put me into Gryffindor with Harry, Ron and Hermione.

'So, you want to be in Gryffindor?' A voice in my head said. I assume it's the hat.

'Yes.'

'Why? When you would do perfectly in Slytherin? Both your mom and dad were in Slytherin.' The hat told me.

'You know who they are?' I ask him.

'Of course but I cannot tell you. You have to find out yourself.' I could then here him take a breath and start to announce what house I was in.

"Gryffindor!"
