Teddy Lupin

        I woke up to the sound of giggling in my room. Rolling over I see four year old Albus and two year old lily. They are standing next to my bed looking at me with a look of anticipation. Wait a minute, where's James?

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" I heard someone roar and jump on top of me. There sitting on my bed is James with a huge grin on his face. 

"Did I scare you." He asks in a hopeful way. This kid is only six and I know he will be trouble. 

"No, but I think you did brake my back." I inform him sitting up. 

"Yes!" He cheers, "Oh, and there's food is downstairs." He tells me then he runs down the stairs. 

 "C'mon!" Albus whines as he drags me to the kitchen. 

During breakfast James asks me, "What house do you want to be in?" I think about it for a minute. 

"Gryffendor or Hufflepuff, like my parents." I reply, as I finish eating. 

"Teddy go get your trunk, we leave for the platform in 20 minuets." Mrs. Potter tells me. I rush up the stairs and come back with my trunk and owl, moony. We drive to kings cross and get to platform nine. 

"Uncle Harry, I don't see the platform." I say nervously. Uncle Harry isn't my actual uncle, but that is what he said I should call him.  He laughs a crouches down closer to me. 

"All you have to do is run at that barrier." He tells me with a serious look on his face. 

"What?" I ask in disbelief, "Wont I crash." He chuckles again,

 "No it's magical, it's the entrance to platform nine and three quarters." He points me trolly at the wall. 

"Just close your eyes and run, you'll be fine." He reassures me. I still look nervous. Taking a deep breath I run, and expect to crash, but I don't. I look around and see tons of kids in running around pushing trolleys. There are owls flying overhead and kids chasing each other down the platform. Smileing I push my luggage over to a man loading the train. 

I walk back to the potters and my grandmother. Grandmum gives me a large hug and kiss and says goodbye. James, Albus, and lily tackle me with a hug.  Aunt Ginny and uncle Harry give me a hug right before the whistle blows. Waving goody for the last time, I board the train and head for Hogwarts. 

Once on the scarlet stem engin, I look for a compartment. I find a nearly empty one, with only one girl in it. 

"May I sit here?" I ask. She looks up at me and smiles.  

"Sure, I'm Elizabeth Bennet." She says. 

"Is this your first year?" I ask her. 

"Yes, is it yours?" She responds. 

"Yea." I say a little nervously. 

"I never did get your name." She tells me with a smile. I sit down across from her. 

"Teddy Lupin." 

The rest of the train ride is wonderful. We eat sweets and talk about what we think hogwarts will be like. All too soon the train ride ends, and I get really nervous. 

"Firs' years, o'er 'ere." A large man calls. He has a large beard and looks to be eight feet tall. This must be Hagred, Uncle harry told me all about him. 

We get into little boats. I share on with Lizzy. 

"In jus' a momen' yer gunna get yer firs' look at hogwarts." Hagred informs us. As soon as we turn around a hill, I see a huge castle. It has lights glowing in the windows and there are beautiful hills and forests on the grounds. 

When the boats dock we go up a large staircase. 

"Hello students! I am the headmistress, Menaeriva Mcgonagall and headmistress of  Hogwarts.In a moment you will be sorted into your houses, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slitheryn, and Hufflepuff. Your houses will be like your family for the next seven years. Good behaviour will be rewarded with gaining points for your house. Bad behaviour will take points away from your house. Now let the sorting begin!" Professor. Mcgonagall tells us as she opens the doors to the great hall. 

The great hall looks spectacular. There are hundreds of floating candles above our heads, and the celing looks just like the sky. As soon as we got to the front of the hall they started calling names for us to get sorted. They started calling names, and I waited eagerly for them to say mine. 

"Bennet, Elizabeth." Calls Professor Mcgonagall. Slowly she walks up to the stool. The hat slips over her eyes when it is placed on her head. 

"RAVENCLAW!" this hat calls after a couple of seconds. I cheer as she goes to her table. 

After a while the headmistress calls, "Lupin, Edward." As I walk up to the many of the teachers have faraway looks on their faces. Professor Mcgonagall gives me a small smile as she places the hat on my head. 

'Hmmmm, very brave like your father. But so kind, and loyal like your mother. It must be'...."HUFFLEPUFF!" The people at the table on the far right cheer as I take my seat. I can not wait to spend the next seven years of my life here.  

Seven years later 

"Welcome, everyone to hogwarts, in a moment the first years shall be sorted." Says Professor Mcgonagall. She walks out of the hall to give the first years her speech. 

A few minutes later, she walks in with the first years close behind. I look and see James strutting towards the front of the hall. The sorting begins, and we aren't getting very many Hufflepuff's this year. 

"Potter, James." Calls the headmistress. James saunters up to the stool, and gives the headmistress a smirk. She sets the hat on his head and the hat immediately shouts, 

"GRYFFINDOR" everybody applauds, but I'm a bit disappointed he's not in Hufflepuff. 

After the sorting the headmistress gives her speech. 

"Welcom first years, and those who are returning. I would like to remind you the Forbidden Forest is still forbidden. Please no casting spells in between classes and do harm each other. You may begin." And with those final words, the food appears. 

I talk with my friend Jackson, and my girlfriend Victorie Weasley. Vic and I have have been going out for a year. I can't wait to finish hogwarts, I know I am going to be an Auror. 

At the end of the feast I lead the first years down to our dorms. Afterward Victorie and I sit and talk by the fireplace. I know this is going to be the best year yet.
