James, Albus (Al), Rose, Fred II (Freddy), Lorcan and Lysander (Sandi) were sat in the carriage of the train, just chatting and catching up with one and other. Lorcan and Lysander were already in their Robes Lorcan with is blue tie and bearing an eagle on his robe whilst Lysander had a yellow tie and bearing a badger on his robe, even though Lysander and Lorcan were twin brothers they were not sorted into the same house which seem to surprise their parents but none the less they were still proud of their two sons. James and Fred II were yet to change into their Robes, although they did have their red ties around their heads singing entertaining the others. Albus and Rose were on the Hogwarts Express for the first time and this will be the first time they go to Hogwarts and unlike: James, Fred II, Lorcan and Lysander they had not been sorted. out of the two cousins Albus was more anxious, for the past month James, his older brother, has been teasing him about the fact he thinks Albus will be sorted into Slytherin, but In Ablus’s opinion he couldn’t see what was wrong with being in Slytherin house after all they were cunning ambitious and not faint hearted which were characteristics Albus possessed.
With only 10 minutes left of the train ride left they had all finally changed into all their robes and were talking about the sorting ceremony when James abruptly changed the topic “Have any of you lot heard from Molls or Louie they said they would come meet us after talking to their mates, wait Sandi why aren’t you with Louie?” ask James obviously excited to see Louie again, Louis Weasley, son of Bill and Fluer, was James’s older cousin and James admired him a lot. James and Louis would all ways get into trouble playing jokes on the family at Christmas and on their friends in school. Louis was also Lysander’s best friend although Louis was a year older than Lysander they spent every minute outside of class together, “Honestly I don’t know I mean, I did tell him to come find me but he must be busy! You do know that he’s the most popular student in his year, all the girls fancy him so he’s probably just talking to them you know” as Lysander said this his mood seem to drop, Lysander and Louis we’re best friends they were inseparable but Lysander never liked the idea of Louis talking to all the girls and charming them. “Cheer up San-Man one day all the girls will be after you” said Fred II whilst ruffling Lysander’s hair, Although slightly immature and very playful Fred II always seem to talk like he knew exactly what was going to happen, like he lived a life before. “Yeah Freddy I can see it now Sander Scamander world class super model breaking all the girls’ harts” said Lysander sarcastically “And all the boy’s harts too, Sandi” James said whilst swooning at Lysander’s feet. They were all laughing even Lysander being cheered up by Fred and James’s messing around when the door flew open “bonjour mes amis, ca va?” said a soft voice coming from the door. A thin blond haired boy walked in with stunning blue eyes and a Black robe on with the Hufflepuff crest and a yellow tie which complemented his light skin “Louie” Shouted James jumping up onto Louis “ahh mon petit cousin, ‘ope you ‘ave been getting into mischief” Louis always spoke with a French accent even though he was English and could speak in and English accent, he adopted his mother’s accent to seem more “sexy and exotic”. After a long catch up with all his cousins and the Scamander twins he opens the door and says “I need to meet the rest of my other Friends so we can go up to the castle together coming Sandi?” and Lysander bid goodbye to his brother the Weasleys and Potters he left after Louis to were some of the Hufflepuffs sit.
After pulling into the station: James, Fred II and Lorcan left Albus and Rose with Hagrid to go up to the castle with the rest of the first years to get sorted James and Fred II gave Rose and Albus a hug and as they were leaving James shouted out “Oh and Albi have fun in Slytherin house” and walked off laughing, when a pale boy behind them spoke “yeah my family wants me in Slytherin house too, but I don’t know if I’d fit in” the pale boy had big blue eyes and long blond hair he smiled at Albus and Rose “Oh don’t worry I’m sure you’ll be right at home in Slytherin, I know who you are!” the blond boy just stared at Rose with his mouth open in shock, he hadn’t even stepped into the castle and someone already doesn’t like him “Hey Rose don’t be so mean, it’s ok I’m sure you will fit into Slytherin it’s a really good house! I’m Albus by the way Albus Potter.” He held his hand open to shake the other boys hand “Nice to meet you Albus I’m Scorpius Malfoy” He shuck Albus’s hand and smiled Rose looked away in anger “Rose what’s up you’re acting really rude!” but before she could explain herself a huge man took them onto the boats and up to the castle Rose was on a different boat from Albus and Scorpius and when they were all taken up the main entrance Rose was busy talking to some girls who were on her boat. After about 5 minutes a tall man walked up to the crowd of first years “Hello my name is Professor Longbottom and I welcome you all to Hogwarts now before I take you in to have the feast you need to be sorted into your houses there are 4 houses Gryffindor” with this he had a slight smile “Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin and when sorted your house will be like your family, any triumphs will gain you points are rule breaking will lose you points” Professor Longbottom remembers on his first day what professor McGonagall said to him before he got sorted into Gryffindor and every year he does try to keep it word to word. “Well here we go good luck” Longbottom said with a deep breath. As Albus, Rose, Scorpius and the rest of the first years walk down the middle of the great hall they saw a old witches hat sat on a stool and as soon as all the first years came to a halt the hat began to sing
“Oh I may not be a silly young thing
I might not be the best to sing
but if you listen closely to my song
I will tell you, where you belong,
Possible with Gryffindor where the brave sit bold as brass
or yet maybe with wise old Ravenclaw with those brains you’re sure to pass
then again with Slytherin is where your real friends may hide
or take place with our Hufflepuff where loyalty will come aside
now you know who is who and where is where
now place me on your head so I can take a look in there”
The whole of the hall erupted with applause and as soon as the clapping and cheering died down Professor Longbottom called out “Louisa Kent” a small dark haired girl ran up to the chair and placed the hat on her head he sat on her head for a few seconds and shouted out Gryffindor” as more and more names were called out Albus felt more and more anxious two more Gryffindors three Ravenclaws and a Hufflepuff Albus was thinking “no Slytherins yet why” that’s when Scorpius’s name was called out Albus patted him on his back and Scorpius went up to the stool “hmmm of now this is a treat nothing like your father or mother but yet something in there is telling me you are needed in” a pause for what seemed like hours in Scorpius’s mind then the hat shouted “Slytherin” and Scorpius ran up to the Slytherin table and sat down. More and more names were called and more Slytherins were being sorted and now it was looking much more evenly distributed when Rose Weasley was called, she sat at the stool and the moment the hat touched her head it shouted “HAHA, more Weasleys well I’m sorry Gryffindor this one isn’t yours oh no far to cleaver for that she’s a Ravenclaw” and Rose ran up to the Ravenclaw table and sat next to Lorcan who shuffled up a few spaces so she could sit next to him. Straight after Rose’s name had been called Albus’s name had been called and as it took a whole 30 seconds before the hat spoke you and your father are identical but this time I’m going to stick with my gut, if I had one and I know which house will help you on your way to greatness so it better be Slytherin” Albus smiled and he ran to the Slytherin table and sat next to Scorpius and Albus leant over to Scorpius and whispered “knew you’d fit in here” Scorpius smiled after the last names had been called Professor McGonagall stood up and said “Welcome to what I’m sure will be a very interesting year, so may the feast begin” and then the tables burst with fantastic food Albus and Scorpius looked at each other smiled and started to eat.
