Despair of the Daughter: A Hogwarts Next Generation Story

The Sorting Ceremony

We got into what one could call a line, and got called up in alphabetical order. "Aarons, Maggie!" The professor called
The nervous looking girl stepped up and got sorted into Hufflepuff.

I tuned out most of it, until I heard "Matthews, Anna!"
I watched as the professor who I still didn't know the name of placed the hat on her head, and her get sorted into Ravenclaw. It was the one we didn't expect to get at all, but she seemed quite happy about that. She sat down at the Ravenclaw table with the biggest smile on her face. I tuned out more until I heard "Potter, Lily" she walked up confidently, and before the hat could fully touch her head, it called out Gryffindor. There were more names, and it was more of a blur, and then "Scamander, Lorcan!" He walked up nervously, and got the hat placed on his head. It sorted him into Ravenclaw. The same was true of his twin. Then finally, me. I walked up to the hat, and got it placed on to my head. I hear "Ravenclaw!" and go sit down with my best friend, her boyfriend, and his brother. What a night.

After being sorted, we had some free time to do whatever we wanted. I saw Lorcan take Anna out to the courtyard. I figured they wanted to be alone so I hid in a bush. I could see Lorcan’s large, nervous eyes glimmering in the moonlight.

“Uh, Anna I wanted to ask you something uh, kinda really important. I love you, okay? I cherished that moment on the train like it was the last day I'd be alive. I-I want to be yours! I think it’s special. Love, romance, I mean we are only 11 but that doesn’t stop me wanting to be with you!” He. I swear he’s the most wholesome kid to exist. Anna’s jaw dropped.

“Lorcan Scamander.” She said that as if she was exchanging vows to be his wife.

“You say that as if I did all that for my health! I enjoy all the time I spend with you. Of course, I'll be yours. I can’t express my love for you, it’s that big.” Lorcan melted.

“I love you, Anna. I really, really do,” Anna planted herself right on him in a massive hug. Lorcan looked down on his girlfriend as she looked up at him with sparkly eyes. He leaned closer and closer until their lips touched. They ended up melting on the grass together, cuddling.

“The moon looks really pretty tonight” Anna admitted.

“Pretty like you?” Lorcan replied, hugging her tighter and cuddling closer and closer.
