First Year

All the little wizards and witches had changed into their uniforms before the train came to a stop at The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The new uniforms consisted of a classic, white button-down shirt, a black blazer and trousers for the boys with a skirt for the girls. The first years would receive a tie and embroidered house symbol after being sorted like the upperclassmen.

Terra hated the long socks the girls had to wear because it itched and went way pass their knees. She fiddled with the material until it became comfortable, while following the platinum haired boy off the train.

Karl Jenkins and his posse shoves pass the two rudely, "Move it, slow pokes." He snarls and the gullible crew snickers.

"Grow up." Terra shoves back to the front using her elbows, "Come on, Malfoy." She grabs his hand and yanks him through the teasing boys.

"Oh, it looks like Voldys got a girlfriend already." Karl teases.

"Just ignore them." Scorpius whispers in her ear when she stops. "They love the attention."

She sighs after folding her arms, "Tell me about it, hopefully we won't have to see the little brat as much."

Scorpius chuckles at her insult, "Something tells me we might have too."

Once they stepped off the train, the night sky caught their eye immediately. It seemed as if each star twinkled brighter than the one next to it, resembling a dark abyss of diamonds.

A man standing as tall as a tree, beckons the first years over to him. They all walked over in awe of the few sightings so far. The atmosphere itself felt magical and surreal.

"Come now first years! This way!" Terra's eyes widen at the man's extreme height.

"Is he the baby giant?" She asks curiously with slight humor as the mass of small children rush behind the tall giant.

"That's Rubeus Hagrid, he's a half giant." Scorpius informs confidently, "Oh and the professor for Care of Magical Creatures."

"Yay," She replies sarcastically.

"Into the boats yeh' go! Jus follow behind me to our destination." Harid shouted so that his voice would carry to the back of the crowd.

They eagerly jumped into the boats not knowing what to expect, but when they rowed all by themselves gasps could be heard from every direction.

"What's so great about a silly boat ride," The young, grumpy girl yawned. It wasn't in her nature to be impressed and chirpy about most things.

To every half-blood or muggle-born wizard this was the greatest time of their lives. They didn't think that the experience could have gotten any better, but it did.

The silhouette of a massive castle with lanterns and torches grew from the darkness. All their small mouths dropped in shock. How could something so beautifully created be filled with many secrets, mysteries and constant darkness.

"Wow," They both whistled, breathlessly. "What a sight." Malfoy cheesed brightly.

As they got closer the Magic seemed to diffuse inside and around them. You could feel the impact in the place just with a stare. It was nothing like they imagined or heard. Hogwarts was better than expected.

"I'm totally going to get lost." Scorpius snickered.

After boarding from the boats they continued to follow the giant inside the castle. It was spacious and the paintings moved around, waving at the young wizards and wishing them a great year. They smiled back with little waves of enthusiasm.
