Just as Kim, Leah and I had finished getting dress the Hogwarts express had finally stopped in Hogsmeade station. Scorpius laughed at the excitement on my face, I guess he thought it was funny, but I couldn't help it just knowing that I was so close to walking in through the doors of Hogwarts for my first time was exhilarating.

When I stepped off the train the only thing that I heard was someone yelling "first years, first years this way" all of the first years gathered around this giant man. I think Dad told me about him.....let me think.....ohh yeah this is professor Hagrid. He teaches Care of Magical Creature for third year and up. Dad also said that it was Hagrid's fault that he almost lost his arm in his Third year.

Anyways, that thought aside all the first years followed Hagrid to the boats which means I was going to be separated from my brother for a bit. I wasn't too happy about that, but at least I had my best friends with me. Hagrid had told us all to get in groups of four and get in the boats. So I grabbed Leah and Kim and got in a boat, and then I heard someone else get in. I turned around to find another girl sitting in the boat with us.

"Who are you" I asked

"My name is Cynthia, is it okay if I sit here?" She replied

"Not at all. Sure. Why not" Kim Leah and I answer simultaneously.

Then the boats started to move on their own, which I thought was pretty cool. The only thing we could hear around us was the ooh's and ahh's of the other students. Then the castle came to view then all you could hear was wow and amazing and wicked and so many other words that could mean awesome.

The boats had stopped in the boathouse and everyone got out of the boat and started to proceed to the castle. We let Cynthia walk with us...I thought it was a great opportunity to make new friends, and it would take my mind off of what house I was going to be put in..."so Cynthia where are you from?" I asked.

"I'm from Doncaster." She replied

"Cool...we are all from London." Leah said

"What do your parents do for a living my Father is a healer at St. Mungos?" I asked

"My parents are dentists."

Leah and Kim gave her a confused look.

"They tend to people's teeth" I said

"Ohhhhh," was all Kim could say

"Gelina how do you know that" Leah asked with a look saying that she wants to know more.

"I don't know this is actually the first time I had heard the word...weird"

Anyways we kept asking her questions all the way up to the castle. This is what we found out. Her name is Cynthia Gunning, she is from Doncaster England, her parents are dentists and that she is Muggleborn...not the greatest fact in my opinion but I better give her a chance she doesn't look like she has very many friends in the wizarding world...and that she loves to read.

"Would you like to hang out with us tomorrow?" I asked. Leah and Kim gave me weird looks, I just ignored them.

"I would love to, you girls have made me feel so welcomed"

Leah whispered so Cynthia couldn't hear "Gelina what are you doing, your Dad would kill you if he found out that you had just made friends with a Muggleborn."

"He won't care about that, he is generally kind to muggleborns now."

"Okay, but if you get in trouble, it's not our fault." Kim replied

We were finally confronted with the front doors to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, and I couldn't wait to see what was in store for me after I walked in through those doors.
