Hogwarts Year 1
"The First Years, Professor McGonagall." Said Hagrid when he dropped off some 11 year olds after a boat ride in the Black Lake.
"Thank You Hagrid." Said Professor McGonagall. "Welcome to Hogwarts, The start-of-term banquet will begin shortly. But before you take your seats in the great hall,you will be sorted in to your houses. The sorting is a very important ceremony, because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts. You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory and spend free time in your house common room. The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each house has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your house points, while any rule-breaking will lose house points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points will be awarded the House Cup, a great honor. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours. The sorting ceremony will take place in a few minutes in front of the rest of the school. I suggest you all smarten yourselves up as much as you can while you are waiting." She said while looking at Ron's smudged nose and Neville's cloak which was fixed under his left ear. Harry nervously tried to fix his untamable black hair. Unnoticed by him a blonde girl looked at him fascinated but unfortunately couldn't go and introduce herself as Draco Malfoy had just insulted the boy's friends. McGonagall came back and took them inside the Great Hall for their sorting. "Abbot Hannah." Called out McGonagall.
"Hufflepuff."
It went on for a while when McGonagall said," Greengrass Daphne."
"Slytherin."
Daphne went and sat at the Slytherin table.
"Potter Harry."
"Gryffindor."
"Great. Here goes my chance to talk to him." Thought Daphne.
The next time she met Harry was in the corridors. She bumped into him quite literally. She said ," I'm sorry." He helped her up and said," It's okay. Hi. I'm Harry. Harry Potter." "I know. I'm Daphne Greengrass." She replied. "Off to Potions?" He asked as he noticed her books. "Yes, actually." She replied. They walked the way in relative silence. In Potions, Snape asked Daphne to tutor Harry.
As they left the room, She said," Meet me in the Library after breakfast every Saturday. We have no classes then. It'll be easy for us to work on Potions." He agreed and tripped over something. She smiled. "You have a very pretty smile, Daphne." He said. She said," Thank You, Harry." And it was the start of a great friendship. Whenever Harry was not with Ron and Hermione, he was with Daphne. Her tutoring him in Potions lasted the entire year.
