Everyone was sitting at the four long house tables. Y/n next to Fred and was therefore the person closest to the teachers table. Suddenly, all heads turned as the doors that led into the great hall swung open, and Professor McGonagall led all the new first years down towards the teachers table at the far end of the hall. As Harry, Ron and Neville passed by Y/n, she gave them a small wave.
Harry gave her a pained smile as he followed the rest of his year and made his was closer towards the sorting hat. "Now before we begin, Professor Dumbledore would like to say a few words."
Dumbledore stood up so he could address everybody, "I have a few start of term notices I wish to announce. The first years please note, that the Dark forest is strictly forbidden to all students." he looked over at the twins and I before continuing, "Also our caretaker, Mr Filch, has asked me to remind you, that the third floor corridor, on the right hand side, is out of bounds, to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death." That was a bit darker than his normal announcements. Y/n looked at the people around her who seemed to be thinking the same thing. "Thank you." he sat down as McGonagall stepped forward.
"When I call your name, you will come forth, I shall place the sorting hat on your head, and you will be sorted into your houses." She picked up the hat before calling the first name, "Hermione Granger." A girl with bushy brown hair stepped forward and began muttering to herself. She sat on the stool, and once the hat had been sitting on her head for a few moments, it called out, "GRYFFINDOR!" Y/n clapped loudly along with all the others at their table as she sat down next to Percy.
"Draco Malfoy." Now a boy with slicked back, platinum blonde hair began to walk forward. At his name, the twins began hissing, so Y/n elbowed them to shut up. He sat down, and the hat had barely touched his head when it called out "SLYTHERIN!" Smirking, he went and sat down at the green and silver table.
"Susan Bones." A girl with long, ginger hair stepped forward nervously. As she did, y/n saw Neville wince, and touch his scar. She looked at who Neville was looking at, and saw Professor Snape looking down at the first years. That was weird, she hadn't heard Neville say anything about his scar hurting in years, so she brushed it off. "I know, HUFFLEPUFF!" The hufflepuff table cheered loudly as Susan went and sat down at their table.
"Ronald Weasley." As their brothers name was called, y/n saw Fred, George and Percy all stiffen in anticipation. "He'll be fine." She said reassuringly, as she grabbed Fred's hand who was closest. He looked down at their hands and y/n quickly realized what she had done and blushed. She let go and turned back to the front as Ron sat down on the stool. The hat was placed on his head. "Ah." It said and he jumped. "Another Weasley, I know just what to do with you, GRYFFINDOR!" All the Weasleys stood up as everyone at the Gryffindor table clapped for it's newest member.
"Harry Potter." Whispers began to fill the hall. Potter? As in Lily and James Potter's son? The Potter's who fought against He-who-must-not-be-named? Y/n ignored them, and watched nervously as he cousin walked up to the stool trembling. The hat was placed on his head. It thought for a long time, nearly longer than when Y/n had been sorted. But finally it decided, "GRYFFINDOR!" All of Gryffindor cheered, Y/n the loudest, as he sat down. "Good one Harry." she said to him. He smiled back at her, relief all over his face.
"Neville Longbottom." Whispers, more intense than the ones that Harry had recieved erupted all over the hall. Neville Longbottom? As in the Neville Longbottom? Well it's not a very common name is it. The small boy walked up trembling and sweating. He sat down on the stool, and the hat was placed on his head. The hat deliberated for a few moments then shouted so the whole hall could hear, "GRYFFINDOR!" The entire Gryffindor table, which had been waiting in anticipation, wooped and cheered. Fred and George started to chant, "We got Longbottom, we got Longbottom!" Neville looked incredibly embarrassed at all the attention, but relieved at the hats decision.
As he sat down, people began patting his back and shaking his hand, and Y/n looked at him straight in the eyes and mouthed, "Well done Neville." Neville smiled at her as the rest of the Gryffindor table became quiet and sat down so that the sorting could continue.

Y/n was walking up to the common room after the feast with Katie, Angelina and Alicia, who were all swapping stories of their summers. "I can't believe you met Gwenog Jones Alicia. That's so cool!" The girls all shared exclamations of joy and envy of Alicia, "I know! I have no idea how my aunt never told me she was friends with Gwenog 'Bloody' Jones."
"Was she nice?" Katie asked as they turned a corner.
"She was polite, but she was kind of full of herself."
"Oh, that's a shame. She's a great player though." Angelina said, before telling the Fat Lady the password so they could all enter, the boys following behind. Everyone else nodded in agreement.
"Goodnight ladies." Fred said as sauntered up the stairs. "'Night guys." George said as he followed, laughing at his dramatic twin. "See you in the morning." Lee said, following the other two. The girls chorused goodnight before heading up their own staircase.
Once they had all gotten dressed and ready for bed, they all sat on top of their beds, ready to talk some more. "So you and the twins are talking again?" Angelina asked. Y/n's female friends had all realized that her and the twins weren't talking very quickly, but y/n had not told them the reason. She only said that they had had an argument.
"Um, yeah. We are." y/n replied
"I thought they were ignoring you? Did you all make up or something?" Katie asked.
"Well, I was just sitting in a compartment by myself, and they both walked in pretending everything was normal. When I asked them why they were acting like that, they just said that they wanted things to go back to how they were."
"Well I'm glad you're all talking again. You were all sad and mopey when you weren't talking to them. I like seeing you happy again." Alicia said smiling.
"Thank Lish." Y/n smiled back.
"Well, goodnight everyone." Angelina said, as she lay down and pulled the covers up to her chin. They all chorused 'Night, before laying down themselves.
As Y/n drifted off to sleep, thoughts of Fred and George filled her mind. She was glad to have her best friends back.
