I remember when I was first placed in a house. I remember being slightly cold still from being splashed with lake water by some annoying soon to be Ravenclaw girl. I had dried off in time for when Professor McGonagall read my name from her scroll.
         "Brianna Wallace."
Shit. I thought. I also remember walking forward nervously hoping to God that I don't trip on my way up there. I can still see the strange looks I got from the other professors. As I walked forward, I realized I hadn't given much thought to which house I'd prefer to be in. I had heard good things about Gryffindor. But I knew I wouldn't be that lucky.
             I sat down on the old rickety wooden chair and awaited my fate as McGonagall slowly lowered the creepy talking hat onto my brown-haired head. I jumped when he started moving on my head, earning a few chuckles from my future classmates and teachers. I got goosebumps as he spoke.
          "Hmmm yes, yes. I see. Maybe Rav- no wait. Mhm, ah hah yeah! Slytherin!!!" I sighed with relief knowing I could sit down. I quickly walked to my right to sit at the last long table. All of the older Slytherin students were already sitting there, but there were a few new students like me who also looked quite nervous, calming me a bit because I remembered I wasn't the only one who was scared. I remember watching the rest of the first years being placed. I noticed two red haired boys being place in Gryffindor. The whole night I'd never seen another student be placed as quickly as those two. It was like BOOM Gryffindor! As soon as the old scratchy material had hit the tippiest top hair follicle it knew.
           After the headmaster had welcomed us, I had my first meal as a Hogwarts student. I didn't know how my parents would feel about my placing. They were both Hufflepuffs.
           After dinner, our Head of House, Professor Snape, lead us to our common room in the dungeons. He looked kind of mean. I took my bags to the girl's dormitories. I went to place my things on a bed but some girl with jet black hair threw her bag down first and sneered at me. I wanted to ask her what her problem was but I figured she was just a bitch. I took my stuff and settled for another bed.
           Then the blonde with the bed next to mine said,"Ignore her. She's a total bitch. Her name's Carli. She thinks she's cool because her brother Evan is a seventh year and captain of the Slytherin quidditch team."
      "Oh," I simply said.
      "By the way, I'm Jo. Second year."
      "Brianna," I said.
      "Well, welcome to Slytherin."
I also remember thinking that I like this girl. Maybe this won't suck.
