Who am I? A Harry potter Fanfic

Chapter 5- My Introduction

Dumbledore led me down all the stairs and into the Great Hall. Where we walked up to the staff table, here I was introduced to all the teachers and of course Hagrid the Gamekeeper. I was told to sit next to him, he was polite enough if a little intimidating at first. He was very friendly though asking me questions and I answered them and he answered the questions I asked him.

The food just magically appeared on the plates along the table. There was every breakfast related food you could think of, that included croissants and pain au chocolat. I wonder if the kitchen people were asked to make those just to make me feel more at home. It worked because I was actually quite hungry now. I ate two croissants with butter and then just one pain au chocolat.

By the time I had finished eating most of the students had made their way into the hall and sat at the four great tables. They all began to eat and talk with their friends. I saw a few look my way and then back to their friends with whom they began talking at a rapid pace, I could tell they were talking about me. Then when everyone had finished eating Dumbledore got up and went to a podium stand thing and called for silence.

 He looked back towards me then turned to face the students.

"I am pleased to see you have all slept and eaten well. I have someone I would like to introduce to you all. *beckons me forwards* This is Trixie she has been transferred here from Beauxbatons Academy of Witchcraft, and for those of you who don't know that is in France. I hope you will make her feel welcome here, but first she must be sorted into her house."*A teacher brings forward a hat and passes it to Dumbledore, he then places the hat on my head*

"Hmmmm a trick one here, I would dare say this girl is trickier to sort than Harry Potter. You have many qualities that would befit you being in all the different houses. You have the kanaivingness to feel at home in Slytherin but you also have the bravery of a Gryffindor. You have the strength of mind to be a Ravenclaw yet you have the caring nature of a Hufflepuff. What on earth should I do with you?Well it shall have to be Gryffindor!"

When I took the hat off my head one table in particular was cheering the loudest, it took me a moment to realise that they were cheering for me. I went to go sit at the table and there was only  space next to a boy who looked as though he was blushing by just looking at me. The other thing about this boy is that he was a redhead, a fellow redhead! I sat next to him and smiled at him. He blushed again at mei.  turned to him and pointed at my self saying "I am Trixie...Nice to.. meet you..Your name ...is?" He smiled at me and said "I am Ron, nice to meet you too."

Then everyone disappeared and I guess they had to go to their first lesson, luckily for me I didn't know what I had first. I just sat there for a few moments until I realised that Dumbledore had tucked a timetable into my bulging bag. I fished it out and consulted it until I found out that I had Transfiguration with Professor McGonagall, who it turns out is also my Head of House. I sat there thinking that I don't know my way around school and how would I find my way to my classes?

When I looked up I saw only one other person still in the Great Hall. He was leant against one of the great big doors and he was stood there as if he owned the place. He looked at me and smirked, that just made me think of the time when Gazzie had just become the most popular Queen B and she made my life hell and she made me cry most days. That just overloaded my memories with too many bad times so it just made me crack and start crying. I basically just lost it on my first day at a new school and first lesson hasn't even started yet, what a great start I'm having!

I just put my head down on the table and sobbed till no more tears would fall, it was then that I felt someone sit down next to me and say "It will be ok Gingernut, you'll settle in soon enough."

Gingernut.

It was a nickname that Gazzie gave me when we made friends then when it all went wrong she would call me it because she knew it would annoy the heck out me. This made me think it was here saying it so I said

"Don't call me gingernut, You don't want to mess with me so I suggest that you leave me alone and don't talk to me ever again. OK!"

I staked off but as I went I mumbled, whilst pointing my wand at him because I had turned to face him from where I was stood on the staircase, "furnuculus". The jinx would have an immediate effect and it made me smile as I went off to my first lesson. I did say this school would be good!
