Cathy and Alex have just lost their sister, Brianna. Luke has gone to the dark side...
We boarded the train. Ginny Weasley helped Alex and I find an empty compartment. A couple minutes later a boy who looked really tan with black hair walked in. He avoided eye contact and sat down as far as he could from me. I cleared my throat.
"Hello. I'm Cathy Granger and this is Alex Granger. And you are?" He looked up and looked straight into my eyes. Oh. My. Flipping. Gods. I already knew him. I had known him almost my whole life even though we only went to kindergarten together. My and his parents were really good friends. I hadn't known that he was a wizard!
"My name is Caleb Hansen."(it's a good ending but then the chappy would be too short.)I stared at him. Alex waved her hand in front of my face. I realized that my mouth was hanging open.
"Cathy! Cathy! Cathy close your mouth! What's up with you today?" I blinked. Caleb looked down and refused to meet my eyes. Alex looked at me oddly. I heard here voice in my mind. What's wrong Cathy?(Italics and bold are the person Cathy's talking to. Just italics is Cathy.) Nothing's wrong. Everything's right. I know that iI'll have a friend here besides you! Who is this friend? I've known Caleb as long as I can remember. Really? Then why'd he seem hesitant to look at you? I don't know! I can't read minds! Ok yesh!
We sat in silence till the trolley lady came up to us. We all bought a few things, Caleb bought a lot more though. We sat munching on jelly beans when Caleb spoke up.
"So Cathy.... When did you find out Alex was your twin?"
"Ummm... Actually we are triplets. Alex, Brianna, Luke and I were on a trip and we stopped at mum and dad's place. Then they told us."
"Who's your triplet? Brianna or Luke?"
"Brianna's our triplet. Luke is... i mean was my boyfriend." His expression harder when I said boyfriend.
" Was? Did you break up with him? How old is he? Did you ever kiss? How'd you meet him? Did he break up with you? What happened to Brianna?"
"I was sent to a summer camp where I met Alex, Brianna, and Luke. Luke took me for a walk and he asked me out by kissing me in the oldest.... ummmm.... building in America. He was 16. The summer was about to end when he told me he was a spy for the enemy. He wanted me to side with him and I declined. Brianna died soon after at the hands of a family member."
"Sooooo ummmm You and Lake are history?!"
" His name's Luke, and yes we are."
"Oh. Okay"
We all sat in silence the rest of the way to Hogwarts. When we got off the train a huge lumbering man walked up to us. Harry passed us and said hello to the great... person? What was his name? Hagrid? Anyway Hagrid led us to a lake with boats each barely large enough to fit him in. Alex, Caleb and I shared a boat. We sailed on and soon we could see glowing lights reflecting off the lake. We turned a bend and there sat the most glorious building ever.
Hogwarts. A largest mid evil style castle with towers at each corner. On one side several green houses sat near the walls of the castle. On the other side sat a small but at the edge of a forest. We floated up to a small stone boat dock and climbed out. People stared in amazement at the towering walls before us. Hagrid led us inside and we walked up several staircases. An elderly stern looking woman in emerald green robes waited in front of large doors Hagrid left. The woman cleared her throat and I finally recognized her.
It was Professor Mcgonigall! She told everyone about the "sorting". We waited a bit till she confirmed that we could enter. We walked into a huge room with ceiling 4 stories high. Windows were on every wall and the ceiling looked like the night sky. We were herded to the front of the hall where a stool sat with an old hat. The sorting hat. Professor pulled out a scroll and began reading out names.
It didn't take long before I heard "Granger, Alexandria!" Alex walked slowly up the steppes to the stool. The professor place the hat on Alex's head. What felt like 5 minutes later the hat finally called out "Gryffindor!" I was called up my hands we sweaty and my breath was short and rapid. Of course I was nervous! This could change my life for better or for worse! I sat on the stool. The hat was placed on my head and a small voice sounded in my ears.
"Well, well. what do we have here? Another demigod? Yes, yes you weren't supposed to have been born. Slyness? NO!! Friendlyness? Yes. Smart? Fairly. Brave? Well duh most demigods are. Might as well be GRYFFINDOR!!!!!" I pulled the hat off my head and handed it to the the professor. I ran down the the tables and sat across from Alex. I turned and watched the sorting go on as the professor said another name.
Caleb's POV
Ohhhh no. I stood there with the other first years as Cat and Alex got sorted. Then my name was shouted. I composed myself so that I looked confident. There's no way I'm going to humiliate myself in front of Cat. I walked slowly but surely up to the chair. The sorting hat was placed on my head and I heard a voice in my ear.
" A third one? Same properties as the last one blah blah blah. Except there's a little slyness in you. Slytherin would be good! No? Fine then GRYFFINDOR!!!" I handed the hat to the old lady and walked smoothly down the steps to my table. Cat patted the spot next to her and sat down. I looked and her. She looked at me and smiled.
It was a small smile. She diverted her attention to the sorting and I turned away to watch too. Every once in a while I would glance at her and she'd smiled back at me. I turned my thoughts to what the hat had said. A third one of what? A third American that had moved here? Oh well who cares. I sure don't. I know someone here and that's all that matters now. But it's even better that it's Cat.
Cathy's POV
When the sorting ended Caleb let out a sigh. We turned our attention to the platers and goblets on the table. They filled with food before our eyes! Alex dove in right away. We stuffed ourselves and chatted with the other people in our houses. Hermione came and gave Alex and I a hug. Then she noticed Caleb. She stood there for a little bit and then shook his hand. She then left to join her friends. Everything was going well.
