  It was the next day,I woke up and got ready wearing a plain robe with no colour house on it yet,I was quite upset I missed the actual sorting ceremony but at least i won't have to get sorted with first years.
I made my way down the moving stairs,on the walls were moving paintings and scared first years were holding onto the banisters for dear life. I got use to them soon enough and found my way into the great hall where everyone was eating breakfast,there were four big tables representing each house and there students. There was the hufflepuff table with bright bubbly students smiling and laughing at eachother,on the ravenclaw table were a bunch of quiet smart students. On the gryffindoor table I spot Ron,Harry and Hermione sat together laughing.
I scan the room again and look at the last table,the slytherin table. I see Max making his way there and sitting next to his friends,they were two quite chubby boys sat either side of him. Suddenly I spot Malfoy.
"Oh please" I mutter unbelievably. Max had befriended Draco and they were sat together chattering away. Malfoy looked up at me and that's when I shot my head away praying he didn't see me staring.
"Ahh Mrs Dameria what a pleasure. Let's get you sorted shall we!" A lady says,she was quite old,wore a pointy hat on her head and wrinkles covered her forehead,her grey hair was up in a bun at the back of her head. I smile as she silences the whole hall by tapping her glass. Suddenly all eyes were on me. No one else were late here so I was the only one that had to be sorted. I'm glad Ron and Harry didn't get excluded at least. That seemed to be the only thing not letting me die of embarrassment.
"Good morning everyone!" The lady yells who I learnt to be called proffesser mcgonagal.
"Today a new student,Hazel Dameria is to be sorted as she was a late arrival. She is in second year along with her twin brother Max Dameria. Also her father,proffesser Dameria,works here now in flying lessons. Let's get you sorted!" She announces. I spot my dad grinning widely from the side of the slytherin table ,he stood over all the slytherins intimidatingly,as I smile back at my dad a man taps him on the shoulder,shoulder length dark hair,he had a silky black coat and a furious look on his face,he looked at me and nodded breaking out into a small and short smile.
Then,I look over at the gryffindoor table,Harry,Ron and Hermione were waving with big smiles drawn on their faces. Then I get a tap on the shoulder.
"Take a seat mrs dameria" a voice commanded from behind me,I turn to see a long grey haired man,beard as long as his hair aswell. Dumbledoor it must be. I sit down on the chair and gulp anxiously. They place the sorting hat on my head and waited for its response.
"Well well Hazel,you're quite well known here I see. You have kindness in you,but also very feisty,I see intelligence. A wide amount of it. I know exactly what to do with you.." the sorting hat states. I feel my heart almost bursting out my chest waiting for the announcement when finally.
"Ravenclaw!" It calls out,a few gasps spread against the room. It was a relief,I wasn't bad like my parents and Max. I wasn't as evil. It all made sense. I sigh off relief as I stand up. The ravenclaw table clap and cheer almost deafening. As I walk over I hear them chant my name "dameria!dameria!"  I knew i would fit in here. I smile widely sitting down on the ravenclaw table receiving hugs and nice messages. I peer over my shoulder to see the trio clapping for me. Ron raises his thumb and gives me a thumbs up.
"Well done!" He mouthed,I mouthed thank you back before swiftly turning back talking to my fellow ravenclaws. I never dare check to see Max or my fathers face.

As I start digging in to breakfast I felt a tap on my shoulder,I turn to see a tall girl,brunette hair and looked just like me but older. It was my sister,she stood there smiling with a tear of happiness rolling down her face. I checked her tie to discover she was in ravenclaw too.
"Michelle..." I whisper. I jump up and hug her tightly.
"Hiya" she cries.
"I've missed you so much!"
She tightens the hug as she hears the words come out my mouth.
"I miss you too. I've already seen Max,he's glad you're in ravenclaw,he doesn't want you messing with slytherins but dad might take some warming up"she explained. I was almost crying at the sound of her voice. I didn't realize how much I've missed of her life. She was in her fifth year.
As the hug came to an end she kissed me on the head.
"You'll always be my little sis Haz. If you ever need anything I'm here." She wipes a tear from her face, I nod.
"I must be going. You'll love it here trust me" she continues. I hug her one last time then I watch her walk back to her friends.
I cant believe it,shes here. I'm here. We are all here except mum. This is amazing.
