Worthless the Forgotten one (Harry Potter Book 1)

Hogwarts and the Sorting

After five minutes the train was stopping at Hogsmeade as the four of us finished dressing in our robes as everyone started to go off the train leaving our luggage like the voice told us due to it'd be taken up to Hogwarts.

"Right, then. First years, this way please!" Hagrid called as I steadily stepped off the train with Draco behind me in case anything happened, and then Hermione with Neville came next as they steadied me but I didn't like being helped. "Come on, first years, don't be shy. Come on now, hurry up."

"Hello, Worth." Hagrid greeted me and I smiled, he remembered me.

"Hi, Hagrid. I'd like you to meet Draco, Hermione and Neville my new friends." I said and motioned to my friends with a smile so bright, it could light up a room. I never had friends before and I hoped they'd never leave me for Potter.

"Woah!" Ron said and Harry and Seamus looked to Ron and I suddenly felt glares burning into my back as I walked. I knew one set was Potters but who are the others? Hermione, Draco and Neville noticed though and glared back, they wouldn't allow that with Worth, she was their friend.

"Right then. This way to the boats. Come on now, follow me." Hagrid said and I followed with Draco, Neville and Hermione following as Potter kept shooting flares my way.

As we walked I heard water. "Only four to a boat now!" Hagrid shouted and I froze. Water? We're going on water? Suddenly Draco helped Worth on seeing the frozen look as Neville helped as Hermione grabbed the front of the boat.

As we set off I was pale, I didn't like water. Not since Marge tried to drown me when I was young and also, I couldn't swim. I was never taught. As my ears twitched I heard gasps of awe, and I sighed, I knew it was Hogwarts but I couldn't see, it's always downgrading and depressing, I used to be able to see like everyone else.

As we finished our boat ride, we got off of the boat and then walked as I felt stone beneath my feet as everyone muttered, I was next to Hermione as we walked up the stairs as I felt eyes on me from above, I knew someone was watching us. I always had that sick sense that was always right. But as we came to the top, I bumped into Neville as he came to a halt as I heard someone in front of us.

In front of the students was Professor Minerva Mcgonagall, in her usual green emerald teaching robes and her green emerald hat to match, as she looked sternly and unemotional to the new first years in front of her.

"Welcome to Hogwarts. Now, in a few moments you will pass through these doors and join your classmates, but before you take your seats, you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Now while you're here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you points. Any rule breaking, and you will lose points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup." Minerva said and I touched Hermione slightly who looked to Worth.

"Who's that?" I whispered to Hermione. I didn't know who was in front of me due to their voice was unrecognisable to me.

"Professor Mcgonagall, she teachers Transfigurations." Hermione whispered to her and I nodded. So this was my Transfiguration Professor for the next seven years, great.

But as she did speak though I did hear a croak of a toad, as I touched Neville and motioned and Neville looked to see Trevor.

"Trevor!" Neville shouted as everyone laughed as he picked up the toad from Mcgonagalls feet and he looked to her. "Sorry." He then retreated back into the group as I helped him and I felt bad for Neville, as he must of been blushing due to everyone laughing at him. At least I was used to being bullied at school due to Potter and Dudley.
