"Hurry up Imme", screams Scorpius. The two siblings run to catch the train before it leaves for school. It is Imme's first year at Hogwarts and she can't wait to be able to learn all about magic. The children born into magical families used to be able to practice before they get to school, but that was a long time ago. When they get on the train, Scorpius leaves her to go and sit with his friends. Imme and Scorpius are twins and have always stuck together, but he wants to seem cool, so he decided to make Imme find her own friends. The twins look just alike with straight blonde hair and pale skin with gray colored eyes.
Walking down the aisle of the train, she sees four kids around her age. She opens the door and asks if she could sit there. "Of course you can!", says a girl with bright eyes and a goofy smile. "My name is Augusta Longbottom, but you can call me August! These are my friends Rose Weasley, James Potter, and his brother Albus. What's your name?" Imme looked at the smiling faces around her and started to feel out of place. She never had this much kindness shown to her from strangers. Usually everyone stays away from her family or screams bad things at them. Imme found enough courage to speak up. "My name is Imme Malfoy."
The four kids look at each other, but had no comment on her name. They didn't talk about anything related to her family, and for that Imme was grateful. Everyone got along great. They were all laughing and playing around the entire time to Hogwarts. James and Imme played with the chocolate frogs before August came up and bit the head off! She laughed it off and went back to talking to Rose about what classes they might be in together. Soon James and Imme joined in. When the train pulled up the newly found friends kept going with their conversations. The group walked in with all the other first year students and waited for a seat. Scorpius came over to Imme. He pushed through her new friends and looked at them in disgust. "Imme come sit with me and my friends. You don't want to hang out with these losers." She looked at their faces and then back at her brother. "No thank you." "No Thank you? Come on Im. Don't talk to these freaks. You belong with us." Scorpius waits with his arms crossed for Imme to go with him. "I'm not going Scorpius. Go back to your dumb-brain friends. These are my friends now." Scorpius stomped away, with a scowl on his face, back to his friends. When Imme turned back to the group she saw them all staring wide-eyed. "I can't believe you just did that!", screamed August. They all started laughing and took a seat near the front. Everyone has been talking about what house they will be in. Albus and Rose wants to be in Gryffindor like James, and August wants to be in Hufflepuff. Imme didn't want to talk about what house she wanted, she felt ashamed that she was more than likely going to be in Slytherin. Her whole family was sorted into Slytherin from the beginning. Imme didn't know what house she wanted, all she knew is she didn't want Slytherin.
"It's okay Imme, cheer up! The hat will know where to put you; don't look scared. It's not that bad, I did it last year." James tried to cheer her up as best as he could. He saw she was nervous about being sorted. The ceremony began and Imme gave James a small smile before turning around to see the celebration. One by one the first-year students went up to the stool and had the hat placed on their head. August was the first one to go up to the stool out of their friends. She was practically bouncing the whole way up there. When she sat on the stool they placed the sorting hat on her head. The hat mumbled something to her and then screamed out "HUFFLEPUFF". Everyone cheered and August squealed and jumped down to her seat. A few more students went and then it was Rose's turn. They placed the hat on her head and in no time the hat called out "GRYFFINDOR!" They all clapped and went on to the next kid. Soon it would be the twins' turn to go. Imme was getting more nervous by the second. Scorpius was called to the front. He walked up there proudly with a weird smirk on his face like he always has when he's excited. Just like Rose's, his time up there was really short because right when they place it on him the hat called out "Slytherin". It was her turn next and she couldn't help the nerves as she walked shakily up to the hat. When Imme sat down and the hat was placed on her head, she heard the sorting hat mumble about which house to be placed in. "Well your entire family has been in slytherin. But your heart is not there... You aren't like your brother. hmmmm." She was freaking out. She did not want to be in slytherin. she didn't want to be like the rest of her family. She was good. "Of course you do", said the hat in her head. He waited for a couple more moments until he announced to the crowd where she would be placed. "RAVENCLAW".
