The Next Generation of Hogwarts

Hogwarts

The castle was huge with its stone walls that almost whispered to you if you got close enough. Albus still had his arm around my shoulder as we walked into the castle. We walked through many corridors until we came to two enormous wooden doors. All of a sudden a boy came up behind me and Albus and said "Blimey it's not even your first day here and you got a girl, Albus." I jumped and Albus rolled his eyes angrily.

"Go away James!" Albus said rubbing his face with both hands.

"Fine but before I leave if your not going to take her I will." James said winking at me.

"Bugger off James." Albus said irritated. James shrugged and mouthed the words 'owl me' and walked off.

"Don't listen to the silly old git." said Albus.

"He just likes making Albus mad." Molly said giggling.

"Who was that?" I asked laughing a little.

"My brother." Albus said through clenched teeth. I giggled a little. "what's so funny?" Albus asked me trying not to shout.

"Oh, nothing it just seems like someone's a bit jealous." I said trying my hardest not to laugh. Albus went a deep red and I couldn't help but laugh. Molly, Cedric, and I all started laughing histarically. We had to stop because we were in the dining hall. The headmistress' name was McGonnagal. She had completely white hair pulled back in a tight bun. She had a harsh face with a few wrinkles here and there.

"Children, children listen up! I'd like to welcome the first years to Hogwarts! First we will begin with the... Oh my good god what is that?!" professor McGonnagal asked pointing to a ferret.

"Bloody hell that's Diagon!" I whispered to Albus.

"Who's is this?" asked professor McGonnagal holding up the ferret. "If it's one of the Weasly twin's I..."

"It's mine! I'm sorry he slipped out of my pocket so sorry professor." Albus said going up and retrieving Diagon from the headmistress. When he came back he slipped Diagon into my pocket again silently, his hand lingering at my hip for a moment.

"Well thank you Mr. Potter. Now where was I oh yes we will begin my sorting you first years into houses! There are four houses, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. Now let's start. Draco Malfoy junior!" she exclaimed and quiet snickers were heard. The arrogant boy who was in our car was walking up to the stairs to the stool with a smirk on his face. he sat down the hat wasn't even close to his head when...

"SLYTHERIN!" The sorting hat pronounced without question. Draco went to the Slytherin table. After that a lot of people went after him, Molly and Cedric got into Gryffindor. Most of the houses were named right away but when Albus went up it took it quite a while. "Ahh Albus Severus Potter, brave and strong, but cunning and clever, you are named after two people who were in two different houses, Slytherin or Gryffindor? My instinct tells me Slytherin but what would you like to be in? mmmm yes I see. GRYFFINDOR IT IS THEN!" The hat made his decision and now I was the only one left.

"Evangeline Black!" the headmistress called. I took a deep breathe and went and sat on the stool. The hat was on my head now and I could feel in get into my head and think what I'm thinking. The sorting hat just sat there not saying anything or moving. Everyone stopped moving and talking and the headmistress had an anxious look on her face.

"Undecided, come back in a month and see if anything has changed." the hat said almost in a whisper. I swallowed and froze. The hat was quickly taken of my head and I was snapped back into reality. I was pulled in so many directions I couldn't handle it and I ran out of the dining hall and I ran to the bathroom. I wretched my guts out for at least 5 minutes and I was just sitting in the stall crying, not know what to do. All of a sudden there was a knock on the stall door.

"Go away I need a minute!" I have shouted then sniffled and started sobbing again.

"Come on open up" a gentle voice I didn't recognize said through the stall door.

"I said go away" I said my voice getting weaker by the word.

"Not even for a friend?" The gentle voice came again. My curiosity got to me and I stood up and opened the door with all one swift movement. When I opened the door to Albus's worried but still gorgeous face. I stopped and just looked at him tears still streaming down my face. "Are you alright?" he asked putting his hands on my arms comfortingly. I took a deep breathe and was about to say I was fine when I completely broke down.

"No!" I said and broke down into sobs again. Albus pulled me into him and hugged me I rested my head on his shoulder and just cried listening to his soft reassuring words. He picked me up bridal style, still whispering into my ear as I sobbed my eyes out, and carried me over to the wall where he slid down the wall with me still in his arms and sat down. my torso was curled up on his chest and do that I was sitting in his lap sideways. I lied there till I fell asleep in his arms.
