My time at Hogwarts

New friends ??

The train stopped and we all got out, and into a carriage. We were riding to the castle and watched as it grew closer and closer. We arrived and went into the castle to watch the sorting.

Helen got sorted into Hufflepuff and so was a family friend of ours, Cade. All was going swimmingly until a little boy, who looked like he was about to pass out from fear of being in front of so many people, was being sorted. The boy sat on top of the stool and the sorting hat yelled, "SLYTHERIN!!" I looked over and saw Eliza cheering her new addition to Slytherin. But, then I heard something that really made me mad. I heard, coming from the Gryffindor table, a insane amount of booing coming from two twin boys with fiery red hair. I immediately grew furious with the two complete strangers. I then decided after the feast I was going to go up and say something to them.

The feast took more time then I remembered, probably because I wanted it to be over with. Finally, it had ended and I left the Ravenclaw table very quickly to go talk to the boys.

"Hey, um excuse me?" I said coming up to them.

"Yes?" They both said in sync which was kinda cool, yet freaky.

"Were you the ones who were booing the kids getting sorted into Slytherin?"

"Of course, we were! If we don't who will?" One of them said.

"Ok, well, I have something to say to you."

"Oh, um, well, I'm afraid I must have somewhere to be so you will just have to tell Freddy here!" And he took off. I got the feeling he didn't really have somewhere to be which really annoyed me.

"Alright, what do you want to tell me?" Said 'Freddy'".

"Well, Freddy, I was just coming here to ask you too not boo the Slytherins anymore. Why? Well, image you are in a completely new place with new people and new surroundings. You ride the train talking with some people about how there is one house that is 'sooo evil' and it would be the absolute end of the world in you were sorted into it. Then you get to the school only to find that you have indeed been sorted into the 'sooo evil' house. But, then you see your fellow Slytherins and think 'maybe this won't be so bad. Then you hear two obnoxious teenage boys booing at you, then getting the whole table to start doing it. You run to your table absolutely humiliated. You get up to your room only to cry yourself to sleep because you don't want to be evil!!" I said narrowing my eyes.

"Well doesn't someone just have lots of free time? Also, do me a favor and call me Fred."

"Ok, Fred. Did you get any of that I just told you?" I said slightly getting annoyed.

"Oh, yes indeed I did and thanks to you I am going to have to walk to my tower all by my self." Fred said.

"Oh wow you poor thing! You're going to be so scared." I snapped.

Fred only laughed. "You're funny, what's your name?"

"Veronica Hearst, what's your full name?"

"Fred, Fred Weasley."

"Oh I know who you are now! You and your twin are practically pranking legends!"

"Oh, Hearst there's nothing practical about it, we are pranking legends. Now as much as I love talking about my success I think we need to get going. Do you mind if I walk along with you, or are you going to lecture me for walking to fast?"
