Chapter 2: Welcome to Hogwarts

I step out of Dumbledore's fire place. His room was huge. Filled with books, many paintings of I'm guessing headmasters before. The room held so much stuff I couldn't take it in really. It was much bigger then the headmasters office back home.

"Ah, Phoenix Evan's please, sit down want a lemon drop" said the headmaster.

I sat down on a red golden chair. A phoenix was by the desk. I never saw a phoenix ever, so that shocked me. It was so pretty, it nodded at me then went back to sleeping. I turn my attention to Dumbledore

Dumbledore was much older than Griffin. he had long sliver beard, blue eyes and half moon glasses. He seemed to have that grandfather look to him. He seemed kind but I'm guessing he was okay overall.

"Thanks, for letting me come here sir" I said quietly.

"You're Welcome Phoenix, now at Bruma they have different houses, sorted by a hat, I suppose" he asked and I nodded. Bruma indeed of houses in a way. But it was for different age group. For example if the last students who graduated were the Badgers then the new group aka 1st years will be the Badgers. There was seven different groups, Badgers, Polars, Winter, Seals, Penguins, Wolves and Bears. I was in the Wolves group with Alice.

"You will be sorted after the first years, right now I have to get to the feast just stand outside the great hall doors" said the headmaster and I nodded. According to my old school they had four houses here. Gryffindor for the brave, Ravenclaw for Intelligence, Hufflepuff for Loyal and Slytherin for Sly..each student was sorted into what house stood out in them the most. It was going be a while for me to get use to it.

"You will do fine here Phoenix, Welcome to Hogwarts" he said with a smiled. He had a house-elf. Dobby to show me to the great hall. I saw a houself before in America, they were free and pretty nice. I loved getting socks that I didn't need to them.

"Dobby is glad to meet you Phoenix" said Dobby, after I told him to call me by my first name. Hogwarts was huge, and it looked like I was going to need a map. I learn there was different places to get lost in, moving stairs, and pictures that moved. We did have some pictures that did that but nothing compared to this.

"Dobby is there anyway, that I can have a map of Hogwarts, I'm afraid I will get lost" I said as we went around the corner of a hallway.

"Dobby knows where a map is" he snap his fingers and a map appeared. I open it all it showed all of Hogwarts, even secret passages…it showed were everyone was. ( *Authors Note: Basically like the maunders map but it's not by them).

"The password to open it is Phoenix Lacrimae (Phoenix tears in Latin) and to make it seem like a regular parchment is Leones Rugientes (lion's roar in Latin)" said Dobby.

"Dobby this is great, thank you" I said in awe. We arrived at the Great hall doors. I could hear the students clap and cheer. I took a nervous breathe. Dobby wished me good luck and left. Before he did he mention I did look like another student..or remind him of one but didn't go father about that. So I just forgot about it.

"Please Welcome from Bruma School of Magic from America, Phoenix Evan's" said Dumbledore's voice.

That's my cue; I thought and open the doors. I could feel everyone eyes on me. Which I hated, I never liked being the center of attention. I got up to the stool and sat down. Saw the hundreds of students starting at me. I took a deep breathe to calm me down.

A voice in my ear, made me jump with fright.

Ah you're loyal I see, always there for your friends and your clever you would be good in Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, you are cunning but wouldn't be good in Slytherin. But you're brave, plenty of courage no doubt well I guess I have to put you in

GRYFFINDOR!

The Gryffindor's cheered and I smiled. The rest of the house did clapped. The Slytherins didn't, I guess there was fighting between Gryffindor and Slytherin.

"Phoenix will be in third year, please welcome her to Hogwarts" said Dumbledore as I sat down by a boy with black hair and green eyes.

He then talked about the Dementors. I shuddered at that thought. A heard students qutiely talk about how a man callled Sirius Black escaped from Prison. Why was I here again? Was it dangrous? I swear I heard that name before!

"We have Remus Lupin for DADA and Rubas Hagird for Care of Magical Creatures, (there was around of applause from many others for the half-giant) now let the feast began"

The boy looked familiar, like I met him before but that's impossible right? Also Remus Lupin...seemed to held something...a secret..he also looked like I meet him before. This was going to drive me crazy.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, I'm Hermione Granger, this is Ron Weasley and Harry Potter" said Hermione Granger, She had brown bushy hair.

"Thanks, I'm Phoenix Evans, Nix for short" I said with a smile. I think I'm going to like it here. At least they were nice, I hope we could be friends.

"So where from America are you from" asked Hermione, as I reached to get some pudding. I wasn't that hungry I ate before I came. Plus I love pudding always had. I didn't know really what it was called. I live in America so things were different.

"Wisconsin, it basically snows a lot in northern Wisconsin, where I live, its wooden area, and we have a lake but Hogwarts is much bigger then Bruma" I said after taking a sip of butterbeer.

"So did you get a tour of Hogwarts yet" asked Hermione. Hermione seemed to be asking the questions seeing as the other two were eating.

"Actually I have a map, I asked dobby who helped me get to the great hall, if there was a map and he kind of made me one" I said with a smile. Thank you Dobby I thought again.

Harry nearly chocked on his food when I said Dobby. I asked him if he was okay and he nodded...that was weird.

"Wait Dobby the house-elf "said Ron stuffing his face. I was guessing they meant him.

"Yes, he's really nice, we learned about house elf my first year at Bruma we have cooks, not house elf's" I said after finishing my pudding.

Soon the good vanished and we were told to go to bed. I followed my new friends up the stairs to the Gryffindor common room, then follow Hermione to the girls dorm.

I was tried so I went to sleep right away. Time difference was going to be something I was going to have to get used to.

Tomorrow let the classes begin….
