The Train Ride and the Sorting

My mother and father said goodbye and told us that we better be in Slytherin or else it will be bad for us. I shrugged, grabbed my trunk Snuffles' cage, and Onyx, my owl, was on my shoulder and left my brother with the family.  I found an empty compartment and took out my wand and my spell journal. About 5 minutes later 2 boys asked if they could sit here, and I muttered a yes while concentrating on a spell I was trying to create. They were talking to each other when everything became dead silent. I looked up and they were staring at me. When finally the one with grey eyes, he seemed familiar, asked me if I was really creating a spell, and I replied yes. They were surprised. Then I realized  who they were. "You're the Potter boy and the eldest Black child, I knew you were familiar !!" I exclaimed excitedly. They were glad that I knew who they were , but wanted to know how I knew them and who I was. "I am Samantha Elizabeth Scarlette Silvergrass, the second eldest, twin to William Jacob Winfrey, and younger sister to Pandora Aurum Stryker Silvergrass. Disgrace to the pure-blood society and Prank Queen. I know you because of the pure-blood get togethers!" I told them proudly, while grinning. They smiled. Then 2 other boys came in, and  sat down. One was tall lanky, and had a ton of scars. His name was Remus J. Lupin. The other boy was short, fat and his name was Peter Pettigrew.  I then knew the first two boys' names, it was James and Sirius. I then got a vision, that the 5 of us were best friends, but we were adults, and  then Peter had killed James and some redhead. I gasped and told Sirius and James what I had saw, they told Peter they don't want to be friends with him. Then I told Remus because I figured that I could trust him. About an hour into the train ride 2 other people came in. A redhead named Lily Evans and a greasy haired boy named Severus Snape. We came up with the name Snivellius for him. I whispered to Sirius that  this was the girl from my vision, and that her and James would get married, but not to tell him. 


"So what house do you want to be in?" asked James. " Slytherin, and I hope that you are to Lils" Said Snivellius. I snorted with Sirius, but frowned and replied that my entire family was in Slytherin. Sirius looked sullen as well he replied "Me too." This made James gasp,"and I thought that you two were decent!!"  Then we looked at each other and grinned. "Hey maybe we'll break tradition." I suggested. Then he said he wanted to be in Gryffindor, so Remus, Sirius and I agreed. Snivellius retorted, "Well if you'd rather be brawny than brainy-" 

"Well seeing where you want to go you want to be neither!" James replied back. Lily got up and told Snivellius to come out and they left. We all looked at each other and burst out laughing. Then a sweet voice came through the glass ringing "Anything from the trolley? Anything from the trolley dears?" Sirius and I bolted up and crashed into each other, making us fall and everyone else laugh. Rolling my eyes, I got up and helped him up. We then bought at least half the trolley. While stuffing ourselves full we got to know each other better. I learned that James' family were considered blood traitors, and that he wanted a sister, but his older one had been kidnapped. I learned that Sirius grew up in the same type of house I did. That he disagreed with the 'pure-blood rules' and wished that his brother Regulus did too. Also he was always compared to his younger brother. Remus was always loved at home but his family was also very prone to sickness so he gets sick like every month. But I also know that he is hiding some type of secret. Then I realized that we were about half way through the ride. So I went into my trunk and brought out my forest green backpack. I told them that I would be right back.

Once I was out of the compartment I changed into a small black labrador. I turned myself invisible and put red and gold coloured dungbombs in the compartment that Pandora and Will were in. They were sitting with what looked like the Malfoy twins, Avery, Mulciber, Bellatrix, and the Lestrange brothers. I rolled my eyes and set them off. When the damage was done everyone was red/gold, and on the window it spelt out Jinx. Proud of myself I let out a bark and became visible. Pandora and William must have known it was me because they started cursing me out. I changed back and ran to my compartment. Dying with laughter, I went in. They asked me what was so funny, and I told them everything that happened excluding the fact that I turned into a dog.

~Time Skip~

We all sat into a boat and we made our way across the Black Lake. We turned a bend and saw the magnificent Hogwarts for myself. And let me tell you it was gorgeous. Hagrid handed us to Minnie McGonagall to get sorted. The sorting hat was placed on a stool. Then it started to sing.

Oh you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.

You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.

There's nothing hidden in your head

The Sorting Hat can't see,

So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.

You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;

You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;

Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
if you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;

Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folks use any means
To achieve their ends.

So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!

Then Minnie McG started the sorting. "Abbott, Jeffrey" she called. "Hufflepuff" "Black Sirius" she called next, he went up smirking. He sat down and after sitting on his head for a couple minutes it called out "Gryffindor" Everyone except James, Remus, and I gasped, even the teachers. He strutted his way to the red and gold table. After a bunch of other names, I don't remember, remus went up and got sorted into Gryffindor.  Then after a bunch of other names James went into Gryffindor. After like 5 names she called "Silvergrass Samantha" nervous I walk up to the stool and sit Ahhh another Silvergrass .  Are you going to put me in Slytherin?  Oh you would do good there but you're much braver than your family, and more loyal. SO IT MUST BE "GRYFFINDOR" The entire room gasped. I was so happy, I ran over to the table, grinning at my friends. My brother got into Slytherin, as did Snivellius, Peter Pettigrew, and Lucius Malfoy. But his twin Elizabeth was in Gryffindor. So tonight for the first time in a long while 3 pure-blood Slytherin families lost one of their children to Gryffindor. After the sorting Bellatrix, Pandora, and Lucius came up to Elizabeth, Sirius and I and started screaming at us that we were blood traitors and that we were a disgrace. We looked at each other and shrugged. After  that we ate like pigs, until we were full and then the prefect told us that the password was "Godric" We went to our separate dorms and I saw that I shared a dorm with Marlene McKinnon, Mary MacDonald, Alice Lightwood, Lily Evans and  Elizabeth Malfoy. All our stuff was there. I put on PJs and let Snuffles out. We climbed into my bed and fell right asleep.
