Title: My first day at Hogwarts!
Hi. Im Hannah, and Im about to start my first day at Hogwarts.
Im muggle-born, so I was very shocked to get my letter, even though my best friend is going too I want to make friends- lots of them.I hope were put in the same house, and I want to go into Ravenclaw- I think that house sounds the best by what my big sister says. Shes a second year, shes in Slytherin, I have no idea why- she said she wanted to be in Gryffindor.
Im on the train now, sitting with Cassidy, my best friend. My sister is here aswell, with her friend, Kazzy.Ive heard that the famous Harry Potter is in his 3rd year here, and is on the train, RIGHT NOW! I hope I see him, talk to him, be his friend if Im lucky enough.
Yes! The trains slowing down! Please! Let me be in Ravenclaw, please!!!!!!
As I jump off the train with Cassidy, I hear a hoarse voice shout: 'Firs' years, over 'ere, all firs' years gather aroun' me!' I turn around to see who it is: its a man so tall he could of easily put me on top of the train, me and Cassidy walk nervously over to him with a group of other first years.
'Evry'one 'ere? All right lets go.' he says turning around and heading for a huge lake, where a few boats are floating at the edge.
'Were not going on the boats are we?' I asked Cassidy, terrified that I knew the answer. She nodded. My heart stopped. Im terrified of water- I guess you could call it a phobia.
'Right, everybody into a boat and no more'n four to a boat.' the man said, climbing into a boat for himself.
When we had crossed the lake we were showed inside a massive castle where, I think, the school was.
A woman with her hair tied a the top of her head in a tight bun then made us follow her into a huge room which Cassidy says is the Great hall. We were told to stand at the front and when our name was called, to walk forward and put a hat on our head. I was one of the last to be sorted: Cassidy was sorted into Hufflepuff. Then my name was called. 'Hannah Walters.'
I nervously walked to the stool and put the hat onto my head. It spent a few minutes to decide and then yelled 'Gryffindor!' a huge cheer came from one of the tables which I guessed was Gryffindor's table, so I walked to the table and sat down. I caught eyes with my sister who gave me a dirty look and turned to face the front.
'Another year has arrived and there is a time for speech making- but this is not it! Tuck in!' Shouted a man who was Albus Dumdledore, the headmaster, from the front. Directly after he said it, food appeared on the plates and everyone piled food into their mouths. I sat there, lonely, with no friends on my table, when a girl with bushy brown hair and large front teeth sitting opposite me said 'Are you going to eat? You should, otherwise you'll be starved to death.' I nodded to answer her and picked up a chicken leg to eat.
'You must be a first year. I dont recognise you. What's your name?' A red haired boy sitting next to the girl said, looking at me intently.
'Hannah Walters.' I said nervously 'I muggle-born and my friend was sorted into Hufflepuff.' I said, my eyes filling with tears.
