Desire {Hogwarts boys x oc}

Part 6

When we arrived at the castle, I had to follow the first years to the sorting ceremony. I was nervous. I hadn't really thought about which house I wanted to be in, but if I had to choose now I would say Griffindor. I already met a lot of Griffindors, and they were all so kind.

Professor McGonnagal explained everything to us, and her eyes fell on me. 'Miss Hillcraft, you will be sorted last. Follow me.' The doors of the Great Halls opened, and the first thing that came to mind was just: Wow. I had been dreaming of this place since I was little, and now I'm actually standing here. It is even better than my imagination.

As we walk foreward, I feel a lot of eyes on me, and I try to ignore it. Every first year is being sorted, and one by one they leave me until I'm standing on my own. 'Hillcraft, Laura.' Professor McGonnagal calls me. I walk up the stairs and slowly turn around to see everyone staring at me. I shyly tuck my hair behind my ear as I sit down.

The sorting hat is put on my head, and I can hear his voice in my ear. 'Laura Hillcraft... you are an extraordinairy witch. But where to put you... Your father was in Griffindor, and I can see you have inherited his qualities. Your mother on the other hand, was a Ravenclaw, and you also have some of her wisdom. You are also very kind and caring, which would make you perfect for Hufflepuff. And lastly, Slytherin. You can be sly if you want to be, that's for sure. You also learned a few tricks from that LeStrange woman which could help you in Slytherin...' No please, not Slytherin... I don't want to give her that satisfaction. 'I understand that, deary. That woman put you through so much... you are very strong, don't ever forget that. Since you fit in all of the houses, I'm gonna let you choose.' I thought about what I was thinking before the ceremony. Griffindor. Definately. 'Well then. Your decision has been made... Griffindor!' He shouted that last word, and the whole Griffindor table stood up and yelled and cheered for you harder than they had for anyone else. The other houses seemed rather dissapointed.

I smile and walk over to the Griffindor table, where I sat down next to Hermione. Everyone starts to congratulate me, and I happily smile at them. I couldn't have wished for a better house to get sorted into. On my other side sits a boy, who is in the same year as me. 'Hi, I'm Dean Thomas.' He introduces himself. 'Hey! You've already heard my name at the ceremony, so I'll save myself the effort.' He laughs at my comment, but before I can say anything else, we're being seperated because two boys each sit down at different sides of me.

I look up to see the Weasley twins. 'Hi Fred, hi George!' I say, while looking at the person I greet. They look at me surprised. 'How did you know who was who?' They said in unison. 'I did my homework,' I said while winking at them. They smirked at me, but secretly blushed.

Dean POV

That new girl Laura is really amazing... Not only is she beautiful, she is also really kind and funny! She is the definition of perfect. For some reason I want her to like me, and I try harder when she's around. What is she doing to me?

The twins POV

It hasn't been that long since we saw Laura at Diagon Alley, but somehow we still missed her when she was not around. We're so glad she's in Griffindor, now we can spend more time with her and we might have a chance to win her over.

My POV

I have started a conversation with Hermione about the library at Hogwarts, when I hear someone shout: 'Hey Potter! Potter! Is it true? You fainted? I mean, you actually fainted?' My eyes widen when I hear that voice. I stand up to see a blond Slytherin boy laughing with his friends. I run over to him, hugging him real tight. The whole great hall is quiet now. 'What the-' he says confused. I softly said: 'I'd recognise that voice everywhere...' his eyes widened too, and he quickly hugged me back. 'It's you! It's really you! Merlin I am so glad you're okay! I was afraid she would find you again and-' I quickly hushed him, pointing towards the entire great hall. 'Maybe somewhere more private?' I ask. He nods, takes my hand and leads me out of the great hall, leaving everyone in shock.
