Anna, Rose, Scorpius, Albus, Alice and I say goodbye to everyone that was in our compartment and go over to where a huge man was standing shouting "Fist years over 'ere" I recognised the man (from a book about the battle of Hogwarts) as Hagrid.
"No more than 4 a boat!" He says as he leads us to the black lake (I know the name because I read about it in Hogwarts a history) I climb on a boat with Anna, Rose and the this other girl with long black hair and black eyes, who was sitting there looking at us sourly. Alice goes with Albus, Scorpius and Frank.

The door to the great hall open and all the first years and I walk in. It's amazing.

There on a stool just in front of the teachers table is a battered old hat

It opens its mouth and begins to speak,

"I've done this job for centuries
On every student's head I've sat
Of thoughts I take inventories
For I'm the famous Sorting Hat.
I've sorted high, I've sorted low,
I've done the job through thick and thin
So put me on and you will know
Which house you should be in
Might it be Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
Maybe 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 maybe 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 the sorting hat."

And just like the sorting starts.
I watch as people go off to their houses.
Soon it's Roses turn.
"Rose Granger-Weasley"
The hat takes a few minutes before shouting,
"Gryffindor!"
Rose looks very proud of herself.

"K I ra -"
"Key-ra" I interrupt, blushing. Why do people always pronounce my name wrong? The Y makes and i sound as in ink. Not I as in I am.
I walk up and place the hat on my head.
"Brave, smart, loyal, ambitious. Hmm your difficult to place. But I see into you and I know where you'll do well. Better be- GRYFFINDOR"
The hat shouts the last word and I run to the cheering crowd of red and gold.
****
"Slytherin!"
Scorpius walks over to the Slytherin table he looks like he was expecting it. To be honest I wasn't. I thought he'd be in either Ravenclaw and Gryffindor.
I watch a few more people get sorted then it's Anna's turn.
"Ravenclaw!"
She smiles brightly at us as we clap.
****
"Albus Potter!"
The hall breaks off into whispers.
Albus walks up to the hat and waits a bit.
"Slytherin!"
The hall plunges into silence. I start clapping. Soon everyone is clapping.

After dinner we are shown our common rooms and dorm rooms.
I share a room with Rose, Alice and Dominique, Roses cousin. The girl from the boat is there too.
"Hi. I'm Kyra." I offer to shake her hand.
"I'm Polly, Polly Chapman. Pure blood. What's your blood status?"
"Mudblood." I says proudly
She makes a choking sound.
"Is there a problem with that?!" I glare at her.
"Yes. There is. You see, I don't want to share my room with filth!"
"Well then you don't have to!" And with that I turn to the bed in the corner (The worst one in my opinion) and use a spell I learned to make it it's own seperate room.
Rose stars laughing and adds a bathroom and staircase. "Now you don't have to associate with any of us" she says.
Polly huffs and we shove her in the room.
"Now let the party begin!" Dominique says.
