The Girl who Lived

The Sorting

Ella's POV
After we got off the boats me and Hermione went to stand with Harry and Ron. Just then an old slim woman draped in a green robe and a tall witches hat on her head came out of the hall and into the corridor we stood in.
(I forgot McGonagalls speech so I'll probably get it wrong)
"Welcome to Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Witchery. In a moment you will join your classmates. But before you do you will be sorted into your houses. While you are here your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn your house points. Where as your bad deeds will lose your house points. The houses are Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin and Gryffindor. Now just a moment please" She left and went back in the room. Just then a boy with white blonde hair and storm grey eyes walked up to us.
"So it's true Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts" he smiled. His head turned so his eyes met mine. He smiled. When he said Harry Potter everyone started whispering. "This is Crabbe and Goyle and I'm Malfoy. Draco Malfoy" his smile grew. Ron chuckled as Draco said his name.
"You think my names funny do you?? There's no need to ask yours. Ginger hair and a hand me down robe you must be a Weasley" Ron's smile disappeared. "But you can't be a Weasley" he looked right at me again. "Hmm let me guess... Ella Potter. Right??" I nodded. He smirked. "You see Potter you'll soon come to realise that some wizarding families are better than others. You don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort" he gestured to Ron "I can help you out there" he stretched out his hand towards Harry.
"I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself thanks" Harry smiled as did Ron and me. Draco looked crestfallen. McGonagall tapped him on the shoulder and he walked back to the crowd.
"We're ready for you now" we all walked in to the hall in a line. "Now in a moment I shall place the sorting hat on your head and you shall be sorted into your houses" we all nodded. "Granger Hermione"
"Yes very smart. Oooh and brave. Very much a Ravenclaw but if placed in Gryffindor the bravery could come out. Better be Gryffindor!!!" There was an eruption of cheering from the Gryffindor table as Hermione joined them.
"Malfoy Draco" I looked up at him. His eyes once again met mine. He smiled again. He was cute. But he was awfully mean and rude. But cute. As soon as the hat hit his head it announced Slytherin.
"Weasley Ronald"
"Another Weasley I know just what to do with you Gryffindor!!" Ron relaxed and walked over to the Gryffindor table.
"Potter Harry" everyone stared at him as he went up. Eventually the sorting hat gave him Gryffindor.
"Potter Ella" I walked up to the stool.
"Hmmm let's see. Let's see. Gryffindor!!" I smiled at walked over to the Gryffindor table. Harry,Ron and Hermione all smiled at me. After the feast finished we all followed Ron's brother Percy to the Gryffindor Common Room.
"Percy's a prefect and my annoying brother" Ron told us. "He's a real pain in the ass. To perfect" we all nodded and followed him up to the dorms. As we walked up to the dormitories Harry pulled me aside.
"We should ask Dumbledore about the whole twin thing"
"Ok tomorrow"
"No Ella today. Now" Harry grabbed my hand and led me out of the common room. We crept around the castle to Dumbledores office. "Now how do we get in??"
"Hmm let me try something. I read well Hermione told me 'Alohamora'" the door clicked open.
"Cool"
"Thanks" cautiously we climbed the steps.
"Hello I was wondering how long it would be until you two made your way up here" Dumbledore smiled is. We have an awkward smile back.  "Now come sit" we walked over and sat down. "Sherbet Lemon??" We both nodded and he handed us one. "Now Harry you know you have the scar as Voldemort couldnt kill you. Ella you were there too. Harry was infront of you when the curse was fired" we both nodded. "You are indeed twins" he explained a bit more before letting us go back to bed.
"Aren't you glad we did that??" Harry smiled.
"Yeah at least we know for sure that we're twins now" the two hugged each other goodnight and went up to their dorms.
