Georgia Potter

Chapter Two

It has been just over a month since I found out about the wizarding world, Harry has spent that time exploring Diagon Alley whilst I have been spending it studying as well as going out into muggle London not that we are meant to, but a girl need a bit of freedom and I have never seen the city before. I decided to go shopping in Primark, I must have bought the whole store! I am just happy I just don't have to wear Aunt Petunia's hand me downs. We are now on our way to King Cross Station to Platform 9 and 3/4 but the problem is that does not exist, Harry and I did ask but got glared at by the train guard before we hear some people talking about it, we follow the sound. We spot a family of six, a short dumpy women, two twins, two boys and a girl all with red hair "excuse me are you talking about platform 9 and 3/4"
"Yes dear, are you new" we both nod "that's alright Ron here is new here too, these are my boys Percy, George and Fred the twins and Ginny my youngest and only girl and I am Molly watch what the boys do then go ahead" Percy went first, then the twins, Ron and Harry went together and I went with Molly and Ginny. We are greeted by a huge burgundy train with Hogwarts Express along it, the platform is crowded with students saying goodbye to their family. We left our trunks where we were meant to, Harry left Hedwig with his trunks but I took Shadow with me, we climbed on the train to find an empty compartment we found one I sat by the door whereas Harry sat by the window it was not long before Ron found us. Harry and him got along really well when Ron found out we were the Potter twins it was like he was a fan he wanted to know everything. Harry is quite proud of his scar, I'm not I am conscious to hide it I don't want to be known for it but you can tell Harry is kind of enjoying the friendship and the praise. I fell asleep for the rest of the ride it wasn't long before we arrived Harry woke me up to go get changed I grabbed Shadow once we got changed we have arrived at Hogsmedes Train station I hear Hagrid "First years this way" we all stood near Hagrid before he led us to some boats, I shared a boat with another girl called Pansy looking at Hogwarts from the lake was really impressive the pictures in the books really does not do it justice. We are waiting outside the Great Hall when Draco came over "Hi I am Draco Malfoy" he held his hand out to shake Harry's Ron piped up "bugger off Malfoy" Draco sneered at Ron "No need to ask you who you are, red hair and hand me down clothes must be a Weasley, you don't want to be friends with the like of him" Ron face when bright red "I want to be friends with him as he is much nicer than you" Harry snapped back and before anyone could say anything else a older women came towards us "Hello Students I am Professor McGonagol, please follow me" The Great Hall doors open, I couldn't help the gasp that came out of my mouth, the ceiling has been enchanted and candles were floating, you could hear a girl proudly boasting the fact like a know it all. We went to the front where the teachers table was there was a stool with an old looking hat on it. The hat sung a song, it was called a sorting hat and it places us into our houses, you are either placed in Slytherin, Grinffindor, Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. Professor McGonagall started to call students names it wasn't long before Harry's name was called the hat was placed on his head for a long time before it yelled "GRYFFINDOR!" The Gryffindor table erupted into a cheer as Harry walks over to the table "Georgia Potter" The Great hall went silent as I walked up to the sorting hat, Professor McGonagall placed the hat on my head "Another Potter I see, I can see traits of both Gryffindor and Slytherin but I can see you are more cunning so I declare you SLYTHERIN" I walked towards the Slytherin table as they cheered, I looked at Harry who was sad but then at Ron who was still waiting to be sorted looked absolutely disgusted. Draco was placed in Slytherin and he sat next to me "Are you okay?"
"Yeah I am fine, never been separated from my brother before but I'll be fine" It wasn't long before Professor Dumbledore was making his speech then the food appeared. I quietly ate the food before being told to follow the head boy to our dorm. Our dorms were in the dungeons, it was quite cold down here but as we walked in the fires was lit and it was nice and cosy. I noticed that we could see the lake from the common room which was really cool, I went to the girls room Shadow was already on a bed so I took that one and my trunk appeared at the bottom. I am sharing a room with Pansy, Daphne and Honey. Pansy seems very friendly with Draco with what I saw, Daphne was close to Pansy and Honey they all kept to themselves so I got changed into my pyjamas before picking up my potions textbook and studying before heading to sleep.

The next morning I wake up, I quickly take a shower before getting dressed and heading down to the Great Hall for breakfast, when I get there I am handed my timetable. From what I can see we have four lessons a day, so Mondays I have Xylomancy, Potions, Herbology and Transfiguration, Tuesday I have potions, Defence Against the Dark Arts, History of Magic and Charms, Wednesday Double potions, double Magical Theory and Charms, Thursday Transfiguration, Potions, Defence Against the Dark Art and Flying, Friday I got Charms, Magical Theory, Herbology and History if Magic and finally on Saturday I got double transfiguration and double potions before day of on Sunday. I am excited to get started we share classes with Gryffindor so I will see Harry, I start heading towards Xylomancy; this is a type of divination that relies on twigs, it is often overlooked this is taught by Professor Sparks. It wasn't long before we were heading towards potions, I sat at the back away from the other Slytherins but not near the Gryffindors. It wasn't long before you hear the Gryffindors come in, I see Harry and Ron sit together next to a girl with bushy hair, Harry doesn't even glance in my direction. The door slammed opened and Professor Snape walks in. Professor Snape decides to embarrass Harry by asking the most simplistic questions he could ask but obviously Harry didn't know the answer but the Gryffindor know it all that sat next to him couldn't have put her hand up faster but Snape ignored her. Snape got on with the lesson I was eager for the lesson to end so I could speak to Harry, Snape dismissed us I pulled Harry along with me "What is your problem?"
"Nothing, just leave me alone"
"Why are you ignoring me then?"

"I am just busy Georgia I've got to go" Harry walks off towards to where Ron was standing waiting for him. I did not move, I couldn't believe that Harry brushed me off like that. I storm off towards the dorms not wanting to eat and decide to skip the classes this afternoon. I decided to read the books on Herbalogy and Transfiguration instead and I practice some spells, all of the sudden I see Professor Snape standing at my door "Come with me Miss Potter" I follow without any hesitation "Lemon Drops" he took me up some stairs before long we got to a door and it opened and Dumbledore was inside "Come inside dear" His office was circular, full of peculiar items, a number of silver instruments stood on slindle-legged table emitting little puffs of smokes and whirring. The walls was covered in portraits of old headmasters and headmistresses who are soundly asleep then a large claw-footed desk and behind the desk on a shelf sat a shabby, tainted wizard hat the sorting hat. Dumbledore sat on a throne like chair behind the desk he pointed toward a chair infront of his desk where I sat "How are you settling in dear"
"Fine Professor"
"I hear you didn't go to your classes this afternoon Miss Potter, why is that"
"Harry isn't talking to me sir"
"That's not a reason to miss classes is it Miss Potter" I shook my head, "I'm sorry sir, it just I've never been separated from Harry before and he just infuriated me by ignoring me, like what have I done" Dumbledore nodded, "okay dear, you better head to dinner but do not let Harry bother you so much" I nodded and headed down to dinner where I sat at the end of the table with my book reading happily.
