Among The Great Fight [ON HOLD]

Chapter Four: Hogwarts

I hear a big gruffly voice ring out repeatedly . " Firs years follow me!"

I look up seeing a giant man, a black furry beard waving his hands, calling out to us. I look over my shoulder as Harry and Ron are making their way towards the man. "Eliza are you coming?" I hear Harry ask.

"Yeah" I mumble and rush up to my new friends.

As I finally got over there, I notice glimmering blue water, and lots of small boats fit for four. The voice calls out again saying four to a lifeboat. He repeats this over and over again until its stuck in our brains like glue.

Harry looks at me while Ron just stands there. "Want to go on the lifeboat with us?" He asks. I nod my head saying yes politely.
As we got on the boat, neither of us said a word. We just sat there as the boats started to move. I look over seeing no one pulling the boats. I awe in amusement wondering if it was ghosts, but then I realized that it was obviously magic.

I watch as a gigantic building crept closer and closer. I look down at the sparkly dark blue water. You could see the reflection of the moon and faintly the million of colorful stars. A tall stone arch made its way into view as we passed under it. "Whoa.." I say as the building is right in front of our eyes.

As the boats made a slow stop, we step out cheerfully chattering. The man with the black hairy beard walks in the building. My feet starts to move following after him.
A gigantic staircase comes into view and an older women with green robes stands at the top. She has on a black hat and wrinkles by the corner of her eyes. "Follow me." She says sternly.

We began to follow her throughout the building. I see lots of stairs moving and pictures waving hello as we were told to wait here. "This is wonderful." I thought to myself. The stone wall defiantly made me enjoy its historical beauty. As she stops by an empty chamber just slightly off the hall by the grand stair case, we stop as well waiting for her to start speaking.

Suddenly I see a blonde head make its way towards me. "Draco." I said. He snickered. "You must really enjoy saying my name." I rolled my eyes. "You wish." He snorts out laughing and I sigh in defeat. "Why can't you be nice?" I ask. He just smiles and walks away leaving me with my own question to answer.

Ron and Harry made their way towards me as we got lost in the crowd. "What was that about?" They asked. I shake my head. "I'm not quiet sure myself." I say in a daze. I was still wondering about the question I had asked Draco. Ron nods and Harry slightly smiles while I stay quiet. We hear a loud clicking noise and the older women's voice, we brought our attention back to her.

"Welcome to Hogwats." She says while smiling brightly at all of us. She introduces to herself as Professor McGonagall.
"The feast will start shortly but before you take your seats in the grand hall, you will be sorted into your houses." She then starts to talk about that our house that we will be sorted in, will end up being like a family to us.

"The four houses are called Gryffindor." Her brightly eyes glances throughout the room. "Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin." Her final glance was towards Dracco as her stern voice stops talking for a second. As if she was trying to let it sink in. "Now I will be calling your names. If I were you, I would smarten yourselves up. I shall return when we are ready for you."

I turn to Harry and Ron as Harry asks how we get sorted into the houses. I'm glad he asked because I am wondering the same thing. Ron answers and says "Some sort of test, I think. Fred said it hurts a lot, but I think he was just joking." Wondering about who Fred is I ask Ron. He laughs and says that Fred is his brother and that George is Fred's twin.

I see Harry jump and hear several people scream. As I look around I notice many ghosts that are streaming through the back wall. A ghost came towards us asking if we are the first years. I nod mutely with a bunch of others. Introducing as the Fat Friar, she calls to everyone saying " Hope to see you in Hufflepuff. That's my old house." And as it was on cue, a sharp voice echoed inside the room. I look over seeing Professor McGonagall telling the ghosts to move away as it was time for the Sorting Ceremony's to take place. The ghosts floated away into the walls doing as the Professor said to. "Follow me." She says once more. "And form a line."
We all quickly form a line; I was behind Ron. While Ron was behind Harry.
