-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When the train stopped, me, Hermione and Ron got off, Ron was clinging onto his rat Scabbers, I think he was frightened of losing him again. I then saw Hagrid up ahead. "First years follow me!" he called out and pointed out to me, Hermione and Ron a boat, me and Ron were rowing while Hermione was sitting down quite close to me. When me and Ron rowed the boat, me, Hermione and Ron all looked at the castle in amazement. We passed under a bridge and got off at a underground bay type area. I felt Hermione take my hand in hers as we all walked to the entrance to the great hall, following Hagrid. We all stopped once we reached the entrance when I heard an unpleasant voice. "So it's true then, what they said on the train, the famous Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." it said, then I saw a blonde boy, along with 2 slightly taller boys behind him and they approached me. Hermione and Ron were at my side, I smiled for a minute then my smile faded as the blonde boy spoke directly to me. "Name's Malfoy Potter, Draco Malfoy. These are my fellow pals, Crab and Goyle." Hermione gave them a bad look then looked at me with a "Don't get into this." type of look. I looked back at her and I understood before turning back to Malfoy. "I don't care who you all of you are." I said while pointing to Malfoy, Crab and Goyle. Malfoy looked at me with an angry look now, he stepped right in my face. "Listen here Potter, nobody messes with us and one day, you will pay for using those words towards me." he said as he stepped away from me.

I turned to see Hermione smiling at me, "That was great." she said while holding my hand. Just then, the doors to the great hall opened and we all walked forward towards a chair. "So what house do you think we'll end up in? I hope I end up in Gryffindor like my brothers Fred and George did." I heard Ron say. Then Professor McGonagall,  I knew it was her because I saw her get up from the spot which had her name on it, said: "When I call your name, you will sit in this seat here while I place the sorting hat on your head so we will find out which house you are in." Ron was up first. "Ah! Another Weasley, a scaredy cat too might I add, but none the less...........Gryffindor!" it said and the Gryffindor's applauded and Ron went off to sit next to who I think were Fred and George. Then it was Hermione's turn, I can tell she was nervous because of the way she looked at me, before looking ahead and sitting down on the chair. "Gryffindor!" the hat shouted after a few seconds. Then it was Malfoy. "Slytherin!" the hat said immediately. It was finally my turn after him. The hat then made a speech. "Hmm, this is probably the most difficult decision I've ever had to make. I see plenty of courage and that you, Harry Potter, have not a bad mind." it began "Not Slytherin, not Slytherin. Anything but Slytherin!" I pleaded. "Not Slytherin eh? Are you sure?" the hat continued and I nodded my head gently. "Ah, well, there's only 1 place I can put you and that place is.............Gryffindor!" the hat finished, I sighed and smiled in relief as I made my way over the Gryffindor table where I sat down next to Hermione as she held my hand again. Then suddenly food appeared but before we got stuck in, the man with the beard that I saw stood up and began to speak. "Good evening everyone, I am your Headmaster professor Dumbledore, before we get stuck into this glorious feast, I would like to say a few words of caution that you all should be aware of." Me, Hermione, Ron and all the other students listened very close to what he had to say.
