I'M GOING TO HOGWARTS!!! OOOH YEAH!

The Sorting.

"First Years this way!" A gigantic man with a loud voice shouted as we arrived at Hogwarts. I followed Fred, George and Lee as we were lead to a lake, were thousands of little boats were tied up, with lanterns.

"Woah!" I gasped in awe at the huge castle, which was overlooking the lake. George put a hand on my shoulder.

"Looks impressive, doesn't it?"

"You can say that again!"

"Looks impressive, doesn't it?" I punched his arm playfully, as we got on the boat.

"No more than three to a boat, sorry," Hagrid said. Fred, George and Lee looked at me apologetically.

"It doesn't matter!" I smiled "Payton and Charlotte are in the boat over there! Meet you there!"

"Okay!" They smiled and I ran over to Payton and Charlotte before someone else could take the last space.

"Hiya, again!" I climbed into the boat, which swayed a bit as it was a cold September's evening and the water was choppy.

"Don't forget the plan!" George yelled from their boat, two rows down. I giggled and replied;

"I wont! But I bet we'll beat you there!"

"Oh Really?"

"Really!"

"It's on!"

"Bring it!" I shouted, as Hagrid shot us glares from his boat which made us slide down our seats, in fear he might chuck us into the lake. God knows what monsters and creatures lived in there.

"What was that about?" Payton asked suspiciously.

"Nothing, just wait and see!" She looked at me, suspecting I was up to something but didn't say a word.

~~~

"Ha! Beat you!" I said, as Lee, George and Fred all arrived outside the Great Hall. I did a small victory dance and gained a few dirty looks from people who must have thought I was mad or something! Oh well.

"Yeah, but your boat was closer to begin with!" Fred argued.

"Just admit defeat!" He crossed his arms and stood silent before finally giving in.

"Fine! But I bet that I'll be in Griffindor!"

"I don't doubt that for a second, so, lets go over the plan again, yeah?"

"Okay, so after we're all sorted, Lee's going to put one of the dung bombs in one of the cakes, then you say:

"'Hey, everyone! Look!' Then, Peeves will chuck a load of waterbombs down, after that, George will encorage the nearest person to cut the cake, then when it explodes, we all act suprised and then, Peeves dissapears."

"Awesome!" Me, George and Lee all said, as a tall, strict looking teacher stood infront of the doors of the hall.

"Welcome. I am Professor McGonagal." Fred wolf whistled, sending the group of first years into a fit of giggles.

"Yes, well, shortly, you will all be sorted into your houses. These are Ravenclaw, Griffindor, Hufflepuff and Slytherin. Follow me now." She made us line up in two rows. I was stood next to Lee.

"What's a Hufflepuff?" I asked, wary of the thousands of students staring at us. He laughed as shrugged it off as we all collected in a group infront of a stool which, on top, was placed an old, worn wizards hat.

"Now we will begin the sorting." I stood there for a long time before I heard Payton being sorted into Griffindor.

"WHOOOOO! GO PAYTON!" I cheered, as she made her way to the table of Griffindors, congratulating her.

"Who's that?" Fred asked.

"My friend Payton, she used to go to Muggle School with me."

"You had to go to school before Hogwarts?"

"Yeah, didn't you?"

"Nope. Witches and Wizards don't need to untill they are 11. That's when you find out your a wizard."

"Oh." I said, as my name was called.

"Good luck!" The twins said in unison, as I made my way to the stool.

The old hat covered my eyes, which I suppose was a good thing, because it meant I couldn't see the other students staring at me, I jumped as the hat spoke, making the some of the students giggle, which made me blush furiously.

"Hmm, your very smart..." The hat whispered.

"No I'm not." I interupted.

"Although you doubt yourself." It continued, in a slightly annoyed tone.

"You would do well in Ravenclaw. However, your strong relationships to your friends means you would defend them, putting your life at risk, if that were to happen, so maybe not Ravenclaw. You definately don't belong in Slytherin.." I sighed, thankful I wasn't put in the house of all evil. "..Power and status isn't on your top list of prioritys. Your too energetic for Hufflepuff, so it better be...GRIFFINDOR!" The hat shouted and I ran over to the table, seated near Payton and Percy, waiting for the rest of my friends to be sorted.

~~

After the sorting ( everyone got put into Griffindor and I was now introducing Lee, George and Fred to my other friends from Muggle school) it was time to put our prank to action. We were just waiting for the end of Professor Dumbledore's speech.

"May I take this time to welcome all the first years to Hogwarts and-"

"CONGRATULATE THE NEW COUPLE OF THE TERM: DANNY AND PIPPA!" Payton shouted, Pointing to Pippa who hid behind Danny who was grinning, slightly embarrased that everyone had now turned their heads to look at the new couple, who's faces were as red as the ties they were wearing.

"Yes. Well, I would like to say that the Forbidden Forest is off limits........" I zoned out, daydreaming happily untill George nudged me, winking. I took in a large gulp of air and shouted;

"Hey everyone! Look up there!" Pointing at the ceeling and Peeves, acnoleging his signal, began pelting everyone with waterbombs. I squeeled as one hit me in the face. Fred laughed and I returned the gesture as one hit him on the back of his head. Lee had snuck the dung bomb into the cake, and George convinced Pippa to have a slice of it.

BANG!

The cake exploded, hitting ever Griffindor and even some Ravenclaws on the table next to us, coated us in icing. The hall erupted in a loud chatter untill Dumbledore silenced it.

"Quiet! Now, would the houses like to follow the prefects to their dorms!"

"This way, come on! Hurry up!" Percy shouted obnoxiously. We all followed him.

As Fred, George and Lee passed me, I grabbed their arms and pulled them behind the crowd.

"Recon it worked?" I grinned.

"Like a dream!" George replied.

"We have now, made Hogwarts history as the greatest pranksters ever!" Fred exclaimed, and we high-fived, running after the group of Griffindors, heading for the dorms.

"Bye!" I said, heading for the girls dorm to see who I was sharing with.

"Wait!" George shouted, as Fred and Lee left to their own dorm.

"Yeah?"

"Meet us back here at 9pm, okay?" He smiled.

"Okay!" I smiled and left to catch up with the others.
