She waved him good-by and went to find a seat on the train. She stuck a talisman on the door knob, so everyone would just ignore the car she was in when passing by. She enjoyed her ride in solitude but she realized she had to talk to the people sharing the wagon with her. To her surprise, they were someone she knew already.
"Ria Lectus," she reached out to shake Fred and George's hands. They recognized her, but couldn't decide on what to do and were surprised to see her taking the initiative.
"I have been studying abroad and am coming back to Hogwarts this year." Ria explained as she could hear their speculation. "I think I will be joining the 5th grade."
"Oh, that's where we are in."
Ria was glad to hear that.
They stepped out of the wagon ready to head towards the Great Hall.
"Miss Lectus," Professor Snape called her, "If you will come with me, that would be ideal."
She went with him, hearing Fred and George's thoughts on this horribly mean potion master.
"If you would remain here, and wait for your name to be called." Snape led her to be waiting with the rest of the first-year students, she realized she still needed to be sorted.
The line got shorter and shorter, and she stepped forwards, feeling the weight of the hat and how it's wiggling on her head while he's talking.
"Ha, a new comer. No, a returner. Interesting, very interesting. Oh I see, I see, quite special aren't we?
Ria frowned.
"Oh, you disagree? Well we all have different judgements , don't we? Some people might consider it a valuable treasure. But not you huh? You don't want it." The hat was dancing on her head, if it's a person, it would be stroking his chin and pacing back and forth"
"You are quite curious, but not necessarily curious about the knowledge. You can be nice, but no you are not a Huffpuff. Perhaps Gryffindor? Oh, you don't think of yourself as brave? I see I see, social distancing huh? Well then perhaps you can find some true friend in, SLYTHERIN!" The hat shouted.
Ria rushed to the Slytherin table, the prefect introduced himself and greeted her. Other people came to shake her hands as well, and she smiled at Draco Malfoy. She was not surprised by this result, but somehow she felt slightly disappointed seeing Fred and George go back to talking to the rest of the Gryffindors after sparing her a plain look.
