The weeks before going to hogwarts went by in a blur. Before I knew it, we were standing on platform 9 3/4 which you had to walk through a wall to get to. There was a giant red train labeled the hogwarts express. I was about to step on the train to find Sophie when my mom pulled me over to tell me something. She whispered in my ear: ¨ If you aren't in Slytherin, I will disown you.¨ I don't know what Slytherin is, or how to not be in it. I whisper ¨Okay.¨, hoping it'll suffice. Mom shoves me on the train without another word. My trunk was super heavy so I was lucky that Sophie was waiting. "Hi Dakota." "Hi!" I hugged her She pushed me away like she was embarrassed by me. Maybe she wasn't waiting for me. I don't understand why she keeps doing that. "Um, bye." She said "Wait! Where are you sitting?" But she had already walked away. I wandered around trying to find an empty seat. I finally found one and plopped myself down. "Hi! Is it OK if I sit here?" A girl said "OH! Um. Sure!" The girl had orangish brown hair and freckles, she stuck out her hand "Everette. That's my name, sorry. Everette Weasley." She said "Dakota Enger." Our greeting got interrupted by another person walking into the compartment. He sat down. He was obviously muggle born. He was texting on his phone and had pink hair. "Oh, hi, I'm Morgan." "Hi" I said "Do you think this'll be like IRL D&D?" He asked Everette was very confused. ¨ What the actual (bleep) are you talking about?!?¨ Everette asked, I´m not sure if I like Everette. I can only assume she's either pureblood or half blood. My mom taught me that. She told me to only be friends with pure bloods or half bloods, but I don't know why, everyone seems nice to me. ¨Yeah, maybe.¨ I said We talked for hours, all three of us, until the train started slowing down. ¨ Wait, what's a Slytherin?¨ I asked ¨ My dad told me it was the evil house, my parents were both Gryffindor.¨ Everette said ¨ What's Gryffindor?¨ I asked starting to panic ¨Ok, there are 4 houses, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, Gryffindor is brave, Slytherin is Cunning, Hufflepuff is kind, and Ravenclaw is smart.¨ She said ¨The sorting hat is never wrong.¨ Everette said ¨Oh.¨ I didn't want to be a Slytherin. ¨ What if it is wrong?¨ ¨It's never wrong!¨ Then she swore a lot again. I think she's a Slytherin. We all got off the train and Morgan started telling me about his family. ¨My sister is here. She's in Ravenclaw. My parents didn't go here though.¨ he said ¨My mom went here. My twin sister doesn't get to go.¨ I said ¨Your sisters a squib?!?¨ Everette squealed ¨ That-¨ then she swore a whole lot. ¨Why does she keep swearing?¨ I asked ¨I don't know¨ Morgan said Everette went and followed her cousins onto a different boat so me and Morgan got one to ourselves. ¨ I want to be a Hufflepuff I think.¨ I said ¨ Ok, I always thought Hufflepuff was the best, but everyone hates it for some reason.¨ Morgan replied All the rest was a blur, we were talking, then all the sudden we were in line with hundreds of people watching us. The old lady in the front was calling names and those people walked up and put on the hat. ¨Emaline, Morgan!¨ The old woman shouted, Morgan walked up, I´m so confused. A couple seconds later the hat yelled ¨RAVENCLAW!¨ Morgan walked over to the Ravenclaw table looking overly calm ¨Enger, Dakota!¨ The old woman yelled I shuffled over and put on the hat. The hat muttered to itself for an unnatural amount of time before yelling ¨RAVENCLAW!¨ I smiled and ran over to sit by Morgan. Even if I wasn't friends with Sophie any more, I could be friends with Morgan. Also both Everette and Sophie are in Slytherin, I think they´ll be good friends.
Sorry, I got lazy with this one
