EXTRAVAGANT

A Hogwarts Story

Millie Brown was excited. She had received her Hogwarts letter last Thursday. Currently, today was Wednesday, she was running alone to catch up to her peers.

She was thirteen. She was just a little late to the party, but it was okay.

She scuttled along the small eleven year olds. She watched as the sorting hat was placed on the head of a small freckly kid with wild hair.

His name was Jack Grazer.

Millie watched in anticipation as Jack but his nails, hoping to get a good house.

Personally, she would like to become a hufflepuff, but the kids often teased her about it.

"GRYFINDOR!" The hat shouted.

The boy sighed in relief.

After a few more people like Noah Schnapp, who got Ravenclaw and Sadie Sink, who got hufflepuff, it was finally Millie's turn.

"Millie bobby brown!"

She hurriedly rushed to the small three legged stool.

"There's no need for rush, child. The sorting hat waits for all." Professor Mcgonagoll assured her.

Millie rushed a kind smile and turned towards the crowd, eyes squeezed shut.

Professor Mcgonagoll places the hat delicately on the small petite brunette.

Millie prayed that she would get anything but Slytherin. It's not that she thought it was bad, it's just that her neighbour, Maddie and MacKenzie Ziegler, were both put into Slytherin and Millie didn't like them.

Maddie and MacKenzie are in there third year and mocked and teased Millie every time they came home for the breaks. They disliked the fact that Millie got accepted too, they wanted to be the only witches in the town.

"RAVENCLAW!"

Millie sighed. She didn't get hufflepuff, but Ravenclaw was still better then hanging with Maddie and MacKenzie.

After the sorting ceremony, Millie and the first years in ravenclaw, stumbled into the common room.

They were about to walk through the portrait, when a feminine voice asked, "What gets shorter the older they are, and taller the younger they are?"

"A candle and or pencil." A tall blonde haired girl replied quickly.

Millie could tell by the pin on her shirt that she was important.

The tall girl motioned for everyone to go in.

Inside, Millie spotted a lanky raven haired boy sitting across from the fireplace, he wore the same pin that the girl did.

"Alright. Everyone gather around!" The blonde girl politely said.

Everyone gathered and the black haired boy stood next to her.

He pushed his glasses up his nose.

Millie found it quite cute the way his rimmed spectacles complimented his appearance.

"I'm Lila Buckingham. This is Finn, Finn Wolfhard, and we are your prefects. If you have any questions, you can ask any of us."

She smiled kindly and told everyone to head to the bedrooms.

Millie walked towards the rooms like everyone else, but ended up face first into the wall because of the number of students pushing and shoving.

"Be careful. RavenClaw is for students who think with there brain. Not students who don't."

She glanced up and saw the same boy from earlier.

"H-hi.."

"I'm Finn. And you are?"

"Millie. Millie brown." She smiled nervously.

Finn. The name was familiar. She could swear she heard it before.

"Do you know Maddie and MacKenzie Ziegler?"

"Who could miss them? There basically begging for attention." He snorted.

She shared a smile with him.

They had a silent pause moment.

"Well, I-Uh.. gotta go now.. so. Bye Finn." She hurriedly rushed away.

"Wait!" He grabbed her wrist.

She turned in confusion.

"Meet me in the common room later? I'll be waiting." He sent her a sly look that sent chills down her spine.

"O-okay.."

He winked at her and left.

Oh. Millie. What have you gotten yourself into?
