Nico POV:

For almost the entire train ride, we made small talk. I learned of everyone's personality. So far, I knew that Ginny was a badass, Luna was a little mysterious, Niville was an awkward mess but that was relatble, and Corey was like a mix of Annabetha and Thalia.

Once we were close to the castle/school, everyone agreed to get changed. The girls would change in the bathrooms and the boys would change in the compartment. (There was a privacy thing on the door) all of us turned towards our respective corners of the room. Will flicked me playfully and I smacked him in the face. I gave him a 'not now' look. He sighed l, nodded, and continued to get changed.

Once we were all done we turned around and all sat down, waiting for the girls. Earlier they said they were girlfriends, so itd make sense if they were a little late from changing. Sure enough, Luna and Ginny came back with messy hair and looked a little paranoid. They totally were making out.

Once we finally got there, we hurried to get off the train. We had to be in a line to get on carriages with thestrals instead of horses. Our compartment had to be right behind Harry's. Of course. Will pulled at my sleeve and I turned around to give him a questioning glance. He nodded his head in a certain direction and I followed it. There was a very huge man with long frizzy hair and a beard.

"Is... Is that a giant?!" I whispered to Will in alarm. He nodded. "He doesnt seem hostile, lets try to slip past him unnoticed." I instructed Will cautiously. He nodded.

There needed to be a certain amount of poeple in a carriage at the least. That was four. The trio, was only three people. Guess who was closest? Me. I made an anxious face at Will, but it wasnt like he could do anything about it.

There was silence. I could feel their eyes on me. I was looking down at the ground. I sighed. If they werent going to break the silence, I might as well.

"Look, I didnt choose to sit here. I was forced to. And if you have a problem, say it instead of wishing me gone! Its not going to do anything if you keep things to yourself!" I started. It migthve been a little cold, but I was still annoyed by our last fight.

"I will say something! Youre annoying. Why cant you be friendly instead? Its not like its going to kill you!" Potter replied angrily.

"I am friendly, just not to dickwads like you! You didnt even give me a chance to show you what I'm like! All you did was call me a bitch and youve disrespected me this entire time! Youve had no reason!" I shot back to him.

He huffed and turned away. Finally, he shut up!

We reached the castle and Will and I were seperated from everyone in our grade level. They put us with the first years. Then a hat started singing. It surprised us so much, we had to try very hard not to laugh. They started calling names, and soon Will and I were the only ones left.

They called me first.

They plopped the hat on my head and it went past my eyes. I felt ridiculous. Then it started talking. In my head.

Hat: put your mental barriers down, kid.
Me: no. Why? Are you going to go through my memories? No way, that is not happening. And dont call me kid.
Hat: whatever, kid. I need them to properly sort you.
Me: fine, but youre not going to like what you find.

"Oh fuck!! Get me off his head! Now! Get me off, now!" The hat screeched a second later.

He was lifted of my head. "So... What is he?" McGonagall questioned impatiently.

"Hmm...Ravenclaw." The hat declared.
Next was Will. I sat down with the ravenclaws and Will and I made eye contact. We both seemed nervous. We wanted to get into the same house. After a while, the hat started to shout. It wanted to get off his head. Eventually it was announced that he was in Gryffindor. Will and I glanced at each other sadly. We knew we probably wouldnt see each other as much as we could've.
