Before actually getting to Hogwarts, we all sit in groups of three, in some lanky wooden row boats. I, of course headed over to Fred and George, leaving Ginny with Ron and Hermione. Sorry Gin, but I did not want to sit with those two, and watch them make secret bedroom eyes at each other the whole time. We sit in the boats for what feels like forever. The air was cold and I felt a chill go down my spine. I look behind me and accidentally lock eyes with that little, snaky blonde bitch. Slytherin suits him, green brings out his beautiful inner pillock. I give him a 'What are you looking at punk' look and he quickly shifts his focus elsewhere. That places a little smile on my face, I turn around and to my surprise the twins are looking at me. Their dark brown eyes looking into my soul. No seriously, I could feel them looking into my soul. Moving on I ignore the slight creepiness of their intense stares. Pools of warm honey or melted chocolate, how can they be so genuinely stunning. Not to be cliché, but I wouldn't be surprised if Greek gods did in fact crave them.

"If he gives you any more trouble, you tell us." Fred said. OK [Y/N] let's pretend that you didn't just get butterflies, oh and it's not just stomach type, great. I shift my lower half to get myself comfortable again.

"Yeah! We'll do a lot worse than our sick sweets." George chimed in. I give them both a faint laugh. Malfoy wasn't a threat to me, but I found the twin's efforts sweet.

"Thank you boys, but I think I can handle little boy peep on my own." I reply as I get up from my seat. I pat them both on the back and stand at the front of the boat. I look to my right and see the other three sitting in their boat. I wave but I don't think any of them saw me.

As Hogwarts begins to appear out of the thick fog, George stands up and takes a deep breath as he stretches his arms out, "Home sweet home!" he says. Fred hits him on the side and pulls him back down, rocking the boat ever so slightly. We all focus on the school as we come closer, and then it hits me. Nerves. I'm going to a completely different place for the next 5 years, new teachers and people, and they have houses here. What if you don't fit in [Y/N]? what will you do then? 'accidentally' start a fire again? ahah I'm pathetic. I really haven't made it easy on myself have I? I've already made an enemy out of several Slytherins. OH merlin, please don't put me in Slytherin! please no.

The boat came to a quick stop and jolted me forward out of my thoughts and seat. We reach the shore, George and Fred jump out of the boat and offer their hands to help me out. You've still got it [Y/N], still got it. I grab onto them both and jump out. We wait for the other three to regroup. Ginny jumps out of the boat quickly while Ron helps Hermione out. He has a lovestruck puppy look in his eyes, ew I'll be sick.

"So this castle is Hogwarts?" I ask. Everyone nods their heads in unison. I'm stunned at how beautiful the school is, I am excited to start. I've heard stories about the crazy things that happen here. Back at Beauxbaton, I was the most interesting thing to happen, so definitely not all that interesting.

We follow the group of students to the Great Hall, at least that's what Hermione said it was called. The room was huge, perfectly echoing the humm of all the noise, demented laughs ricocheting throughout. I suppose that's why it's called the Great Hall. The group of students shifted towards the middle of the room, but those who were already wearing robes sat at tables with other students who had the same robes. The twins bend down on either side of me to whisper in my ear, doing that strange twin alternating telepathy thing.

"I have a feeling that you'll be in Gryffindor."

"Yea! with us "

"And Ginny and Hermione of course"

I shrug my shoulders at the thought nonchalantly but inside there's nothing I'd like more. Then, the twins, Ron, Ginny and Hermione make their way to a long wooden table, which I was assuming was the Gryffindor table.
