After  we finished ,we apparated to Hogwarts and my dad walked back home.  My first time apparating wasn’t as fun as the other stuff I did for the first time today. I felt squished and I really wanted to throw up, but I can’t throw up my first day at Hogwarts… We suddenly appeared at the Great Hall and all the teachers were sitting in their table.

“Welcome to Hogwarts, Misses and Mister Baddy, I hope this month will be full of knowledge and new experiences,” Professor McGonagall was standing at a podium welcoming us and making a wave with her hand for us to take a sit “as all the Professors are aware of, you already know everything that had happened and will happen in the magical world for at least 4 years. Critical information that consists the future of us and the entire world.  I am sure that you have discussed with the Headmaster your facing from this powerful place and I absolutely trust his choices, so I am not going to get deep in this matter additionally  I am asking the same from the rest of the Professors. Well that’s all I have to say, I really hope that I didn’t scared you but you know how important this issue is. Again, welcome. I can’t wait to see you in class.”

We were all astonished by McGonagall’s speech so nobody talked for a minute. I observed the Great Hall; it was TEN times better than the film if this is possible. Flitwick and Sprout were absolutely the same, about r McGonagall and Hagrid  I have to admit that the movie makers did a good job at casting but the real feeling was different. But I can’t say the same for Professor Snape, he was so different face to face and knowing his backup story made it so hard to not run to him, hug him and tell him that everything will be okay until he starts crying. His aura told me that this man hides so many emotions, which is absolutely true, and I don’t doubt at all that every night he cries uncontrollably.

“I think we should start with the Sorting,” Dumbledore said, making his way in the head of the table as McGonagall left the podium , took her  pose by the chair with a catalog and held the Sorting Hat.

“ Berenice  Eirene Baddy,” she called.

“Bonnie is fine,” my sister replayed. As half Greeks we feel really proud of our names but you can’t imagine we called her Berenice, do you?

Bonnie’s P.O.V

I am so nervous. Why I am so nervous? I deal with matches and exposed to bad critiques almost every day but this is WAY different. This house will be my family for 5 years and I want the right choice. I want to be placed in the house that fits me better but what if I end up with the Slytherin duchebags?  I don’t know…

“Miss Berenice?,” McGonagall called me again and I moved quicker to the chair. I sit and she gently puts the Hat on my head.

‘I have to admit, you are something. You are the first that admits it, you are the first to reveal it .You will change some serious things in this school and I can’t wait to see that. There is only one choice for you,’ it did a dramatic pause and my heart beat faster and faster “in Ravenclaw.”

My heart stopped as the Hat was taken of my head and I stood up. It feels right; it feels completely right, but… I am completely sure that William is not a Ravenclaw. But maybe he can pretend to be one. That’s not possible, NOT in a million years. He is a real Puff. I am sure. I know him better than himself.  He will be so disappointed. But the hat can’t separate twins, it just can’t.
