I held on to Dumbledores arm, as he told me too, he whispered to his wand and off we went. I felt a pull from behind, then everything started to spin, it wouldn't stop. This made me feel dizzy and weak, just like when I went on my first ride at the fair with Macka.

Flashback
Me, Sarah and Macka were walking around the fair with blue bubblegum flavored fairy floss. Sarah and I were fighting with the fairy floss throwing it at each other, then Macka asked "why don't we go on the Mega Spinner". Sarah made up a reason for not going on the ride, meaning I'm left to go on there. I tried to convince Macka but he just kept saying I'm a chicken. I hate I when people call me a chicken, so my conclusion is I'm going to do it.

The reason why I didn't want to go on any rides was because I've never actually been on any, and the fact a girl last year fell off and died. It was a tragic, most of the town was a her funeral. The fair was canceled for the rest of the weekend, investigators covered the area trying to discover what happened. Apparently the bolt was lose on the part of the ride were she was and she fell out.

As I was entering the brightly colored ride I began to feel a lump forming in my throat, I swallowed and kept going. We sat on the leather chairs as the employer bucked us up. The man put his thumbs up and the ride counted down 5...4...3...4...2...5...1...

At first it was ok, the speed was a speed I could handle. After a couple of seconds the speed ascended, I felt a little sick in the stomach but I could handle it. The ride made it to the top speed and I felt like fainting, everything was blurry, my hearing was terrible I could only hear the music of the ride. I could see someone ones mouth moving, but no words came out.

The ride stopped and it was like heaven being back on the ground, I never knew I could miss the non-moving ground. Macka helped me off the ride due to me still feeling sick. Sarah ran up to me a asked me if a enjoyed it with a cheeky grin on her face, I glared at her and she laughed. Today was the day I stopped going on rides.
(Flashback ended)

This spinning was to intense for me, it was way worse then the Mega Spinner. I think I am extremely sensitive to spinning and fast movements. I'm starting to feel sick, I can feel migraine coming along. When I got migraines I normally close my eyes and that's exactly what I did but I'm falling asleep instead...

I woke up in a room filled with 4 main colours Scarlet, Emerald Green, Yellow and Blue. I'm guessing these colours were the colours of the school. There were many trophies and awards scatted around the room. There was a brown desk and two chairs facing it. To the right of the desk there was a large brown door that looked from the medieval times.

As I got off of the comfortable black silky couch and made my way to door, I saw a trophy with the name 'Harry Potter, seeker' written in the center. I remember Dumbledore mentioning about him and what he did in his first 2 years of being in this school. But what is a seeker?

Exiting the trophy room I made my way into a large corridor. No clue what to do I did what a boy in the orphanage told me 'When nothing goes right go left'. Never understanding what the boy meant I still went left any way. Skipping down the corridor I was noticing that there were many medieval doors, torches and strange stone walls.

Passing the 13th door I realised this door was different. The 13th door was larger and had double doors. Feeling the wooden texture hoping something magical would happen I heard footsteps on the other side.

Letting my curiosity side take over I pushed the wooden doors open to discover Dumbledore standing in a extremely large room. Dumbledore turned around to face me and explained about the room. This room was the Great Hall and every year the school sits at there tables and watches the first years get sorted on September the 1st.

Dumbledore sat down on one of the small wooden chairs in front of very long tables. I sat down next to him asking if I could ask some questions. Of course he said yes, so I asked my first question.

"So when I woke up today I noticed there were 4 main colours in the room blue, scarlet, yellow and emerald green, why are they there?". "Those are the main colours of each house, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. These houses are the place they will belong in their years of Hogwarts, here the houses are there homes."

"What does each house represent?". "Ahh... Well there's Gryffindor the brave, daring, nerve, and chivalry. Their animal is the lion and the colours are scarlet and gold." Dumbledore said while pointing to a scarlet and gold flag with a lion in the centre.

"Then let's see there's also Hufflepuff they value hard work, patience, loyalty, and fair play. The animal is the badger, and their two colours are Yellow and Black. Next there's Ravenclaw the colour blue and bronze, their animal is a eagle. The members of ravenclaw value intelligence, knowledge, and wit."

"Last but not least there's Slytherin this house values ambition, cunning and resourcefulness. Slytherins animal is the serpent, and its colours are emerald green and silver."

"How do you know what witch and wizard belongs in each house?" "In the early days of Hogwarts, the four founders handpicked students for their Houses. The founders were worried how students would be selected after their deaths, so Godric Gryffindor the founder of Gryffindor took his hat off and 'put some brains' in it, allowing the Sorting Hat to choose students."

"I wonder what house I'll be in if I was a witch?" as I said that I saw a twinkle of mischief in his eyes. Dumbledore then said "would you like to find out", "come" he said while I was nodding.
