Persuasive: A Marauders Story

Lucy Clock

We arrive at the castle and I managed to speak a few words. They seem nice but I don't yet know their names. Its strange. I walk up to the castle doors and find my way to the first years. They stare at me. Can't believing that a fifth year is getting sorted. Whispering around. 

"Ok. Before we go in I have a couple of things to say. Once you have been sorted you will then sit at your table. Either a prefect or another student will show you to your dorms. You will find your belongings there when you arrive." A professor says. "Hold on."

She strides away and quickly returns after a while.

"Lets go!"

~The Sorting ~

I wait quietly as one by the first years are sorted. They go to their tables and are greeted by others. 

"Lucy Clock" 

I walk up the the stool and sit gripping the edges.

She puts the hat on my head.

"Ah. A new family. No other siblings.. Muggle born I see." The hat bursts out. I blush slightly.

"Lots of corage. A sharp mind. Quiet. Oh So very quiet. Wanting to prove something. You could be something."

I blush. This is taking longer than the rest.

"Where to put you. I would have to say..."

Silence.

"GRYFFINDOR!" The hat burts out. 

I hop down from the stool and make my way to the Gryffindor table. I sit beside a gril with red hair and across the table are the boys from the train and carridges. 

"Hey. I'm Lily" She smiles at me. "And your Lucy right?"

I nod not wanting to speak. 

"Oh, I forgot. I am Remus. This is Sirius." I blush slightly at the tall handsome one with the black hair. "This is James and Peter." He says pointing to them.

"Padfoot, Prongs, Mooney and Wormtail." I whisper.

"What?" Sirius asks looking worried.

I blush.
