                             Chapter 1 (year 1)
"Today is the day I y/n potter go to Hogwarts, the land of magic and adventure" I say as I jump from  underneath my bed sheet throwing my lamp by mistake on the floor, I wait looking at my dark brown wooden door to see if i will get any response from my mother. None. I continue my journey to my window watching the sun go fully up excitment rushing through me as i jump up and down screaming as hushed as i could. I woke up very early for this day.

As I rush down the stairs after brushing my teeth making sure they are all brushed how my father taught me I splashed the water on my face and head down hearing my mother call me "y/n potter come down this instant for breakfast!". I smile walking through the halway with doors i suddently stop standing still near one very specific door, the door where my father spends hours inside. Where I am not allowed. EVER.

As i look at the old wooden door i slowly reach my arm for it touching the cold round doorknob wanting to open it. One more twist and its opened, one more push and i can see, ONE more stept and i'm inside. O- "ahhhh!" I feel a suddent rush as if someone is pulling me backwards. I put my hand on my heart when i see my fathers face from above me looking at me with a straight face with fear laced in his eyes.

"Y/n how many times did i tell you not to try and open the door?" Says my father as i look down undefeated. He looks at the door for a moment thinking what to say as if he is debating to ask me something. "H-have you heard the voice again?" He says crouching down at my level looking me straight in the eyes as to see if lying. "No I promise". He nods and takes my hand going down to have breakfast. Leaving me with my excitment and questions.

                      At the train station
I hold my mothers hand walking down to find our train seeing hundred of people with children, as i look I see hugo with his parents (ron and hermione) smiling at me waving jumping up and down happy to see me. I smile at him and wave back knowing i will see him on the train. I suddently remember that my father had to come separate ways as he was a bit busy, i frown wondering if he is going to make it in time to say goodbye. He is always busy with secrets, as you can see I am eleven not stupid.

I am rather clever than he thinks and a very good observant for a eleven year old girl. When my father is home be spends as much time with me and mother having picnics, going to town or just playing. Sometimes he is too clingy for me, i would rather like drawing in peace you see he messes up my pencils and paper. Its as if he is afraid we will leave.

I feel my mothers hand on my chin pulling it up softly breaking me from my daydream smiling at me, "he will be here" she says "i know" I say back.  As we wait I see scorpius and his father Draco enter the station smiling to each other laughting. My father told me all about his time at Hogwarts and how he saved him.

The train makes a big noise and I see my mothers face which shows shock, i look around and as I turn I hear father calling me "y/n!" He says rushing here "y/n!".  He picks me up and hugs me as tight as he can whispering "you can do this y/n potter, be brave and write me as much as you can." He lets go and I say goodbye to mother kissing her cheeck goodbye rushing in the train.

I put my bags away and try to find a empty train car for when my friend comes so we can sit down and dream about our adventures at hogwart. As I walk slowly with my little feet along the corridor I look through the window and see one empty "perfect" i mutter opening the door and sitting down watching parents wave goodbye, this is when I realise I wont see my parents for a long time but I promise to write every week.

I wait patiently for Hugo to come along  and sit down thinking what is taking him so long, he probably got lost knowing how clumsy he is I try to be happy but I suddently remember why I was awake so early. I suddently feel a pit in my stomach, "the sorting ceremony!" I say quicky covering my mouth in shock with wide open eyes looking forward. The sorting ceremony is what I am scared off, as I said my fater told me all his adventures and about the war. Yes I know I might be a bit young to be told something like that but as I said I am
Smart and understand these adult things.

My father also said how 'you know who' defeated many of his friends and family but I am not scared so I always call him Voldemort even though my father tell me not to I still do it. My fear is being sorted into slytherin, thats my only fear as I dont want to dissapoint my father and mother. Well my father more as he doesnt like them and how he NEARLY was sorted into slytherin. I am scared he will be sad and that he wont talk to me anymore. "Please dont be slytherin, please dont be slytherin" I say over and over.

"Bloody hell this train is long!" I hear my friend say clumsly closing the door making a big thump along his way sitting down taking most of the space. He point at my necklance that I have been unknowingly holding tight and says "you still have that?" In disbelief looking at me as I was crazy. "Yes Hugo weasly you are the one who made this for me why are you so suprised?" I say looking at him confused, he shrugs and slumps back "I made it for you when we were kids didnt think you will keep it, you always break things".

I look at him shocked and slap his arm saying "I do not break things all the time!" Raising my voice at him hitting him continiously hearing him crying for help the door opens and me and Hugo stop in our trace looking at the person at the door. Scorpius Malfoy. He looks at me and then Hugo over and over as if we are crazy and shocked then he looks at me lastly thinking of something and starts to close the door.

I tell him "stop, you can come in, I bet the other train cars are full come on in." For some reason he and Hugo look at me like i am a mad person, he hesitates and sits down up straight  facing me and Hugo looking in the newspaper trying to avoid us. "Are you bloody crazy y/n" whispers Hugo, well he tried Scorpius looks at us slightly and goes back at his newspaper.

I give Hugo a annoyed look and he diverts the conversation. "Have you though whag you would do if you are sorted in slytherin?" I sigh and think for a second, "well its easy obviously I will just trick the sorting hat" I say as it is as easy as that. "Trick the sorting hat?" Says Hugo confused "how are you going to trick it y/n?". I roll my eyes at him at how many time I told him he still forgets, he would rather be jntersted in food when we talk rather than our conversation at times. "Hugo as I said I will tell the sorting hat I want gryfindor as my father did and it will work.. hopefully".

                          Arriving at Hogwarts

I take my bags and get off following with the other going to Hogwarts, when we arrive our stuff are taken and we are taken to the hall. The grand hall. I look in awe at how big and magical it looks "excactly how my father described it" i whisper to myself as I sit down with Hugo to a table with all the newcommers I try to stay strong and show it.

The Headmaster started his speech but all I could think of is about the sorting hat, I look at it and think of ways I can trick it "there is no way i will be a slytherin" I lean to say to Hugo. A few people go and get sorted into their houses; slytherin, ravenclaw, hufflepufs, gryfindors and so on. "Y/n Potter!" I hear my name being called out by the teacher, I look up walking slowly to the sorting hat looking at it as I sit down next to it. I look forward and see all the students whispering to each other at the name of potter they must know who I am by now.

The teacher places the sorting hat on my head and starts to humm, I move my head slightly to try and not drop it as it is way to big for my head and really heavy with lots of dust on it. "You are a loyal and brave child" starts the hat to say "you always try to prove your self and your strength" I close my eyes waiting. "You could achieve so many things as a slytheryn as your father could have" oh no please. "Please dont be slytherin, please dont be slytherin" I whisper on and on.  "My child you are a........."    "bloody hell!"
