Year 3 Chapter 1 - Another Year at Hogwarts

I was getting off the train and going inside Hogwarts. Summer was over and I was excited to be back in the Ravenclaw common room. Leo was on my right, holding my hand. It's been a while since we've seen each other.

"Leah!" Someone called me. I turned to see Harry with his friends, racing towards us.

Before they could run into us, I took out my wand and said "Wingardium Leviosa!"

The three started floating into the air making them laugh. The trio looked slightly older, but they didn't act any more mature then they were last time we were together.

I giggled and lowered them to the ground. Hermione took Ron's hand and pulled him along, leaving Harry behind.

"Hey Leah, Leo!" Harry tried to catch his breath.

"Nice to see you again Harry!" I replied with a smile.

"Hi, Harry." Leo waved.

"Hey, how was summer?" Harry asked.

"Amazing!" I sang. Harry and Leo laughed. We were now at the door to go inside.

"Well, I'm gonna catch up with Hermione and Ron. See ya!" He then ran off to find his friends.

"What you planning to do this year?" Leo asked when he was gone.

"Oh, I don't know." I shrugged. "I want to meet your sister!"

"Okay, sure!" Leo smiled. "She might be somewhere...."

"She's with Hagrid, silly!" I laugh.

"Oh, yeah. I knew that" he says, smiling with embarrassment.

"Leah!" Someone puts their hands on my shoulders.

I yelp, but when I turn, I laugh.

"Heather! Good to see you!"

We all talk and walk to the Ravenclaw table together. Heather separates from us and goes to Mary and Sheryl who still seem mad at me. They lecture Heather, then sit down together in silence. They must not want her around me anymore.

Leo and I talk as we wait for Dumbledore to say his speech. While we do, I see Aby and Berri come in the hall. They wave to the Respecters and sit with them.

I roll my eyes as everyone becomes quiet.

I turn to see Dumbledore at the stand about so say his speech. All of the professors are sitting in chairs next to him.

"Good afternoon! Welcome to another year of Hogwarts!" He started his speech.

Ten minutes later, Dumbledore ended the speech, and the first years started getting sorted into their houses. Just like any other year. I yawned.

"Grace Promantos!" Professor McGonagall called. A girl with really dark brown hair came on and sat down, as Professor McGonagall placed the sorting hat on her head. She had a smile on her face. Her eyes were electric blue and bright.

"Energetic, kind, smart...." I heard the sorting hat say. It spoke some more, then said, "How about.... Hufflepuff!" All the Hufflepuff cheered and welcomed Grace to their house. Leo and I clapped for her. Leo looked a little upset but happy at the same time. I guessed she was a little annoying. When everyone was done getting sorted into their houses, we ate and went upstairs. Aby tried to come near me to talk but Sherryl pulled her hood and forced her to stay with the rest of the Respecters. At least Berri found a company, speaking of which,

"Hey Leah." Olivia said as she came up to me.

"Oh, hi! How was summer?" I asked.

"Um, exciting, energetic," She said. I looked over at Berri again. The two look so alike, even I was having a hard time believing they weren't sisters.
