Some time later you arrive to Hogwarts. As you’re distracted by the beauty of architecture, Lily gives you a small smile and speaks “Surely must be better than American one, huh?”

“Not going to lie, it does look fascinating.”

You proceeded to walk deeper into Hogwarts, following the teachers you end up in a huge main hall.



You were amazed by the amount of lit up, flying in thin air candles, and the amount of people that were sat at the tables already. As you were about to follow Lily to her seat, she taps you on your arm and tells you that you need to go to the front, along with freshmen and new students to be sorted into a certain house.

A bit startled, and embarrassed you slowly leave Lily and head to the front. On the way there you notice a lot of people who were sitting look at you as you were the oldest new member.

When you finally get to the front, your hearing is covered by the sounds of clapping and announcements. But it was hard to hear anything else as you were trapped in your bubble of thoughts, you were nervous about being new and not finding someone to talk to if you get sorted into a different house, other than Gryffindor.

One by one little ones were called, finally it was your turn. Everyone were quiet and you felt like they all were staring at your bright, red cheeks.

You sat on a chair, which was directly below a sorting hat that was held by a professor. Within one, slight sigh, the hat was placed on your head.

“Hmm…” – it spoke. “You’re Brave, you just don’t know it yet. You’re intelligent, ah yes, yes, I see now..”

Just as you felt like your heart was about to jump out of your chest, you heard a shout coming from above your head. “GRYFFINDOR!!”

Soon the room echoed with the sound of applauds. You rushed back to Lily who stood up and while clapping, she gave you a big smile then patted your back.

Everyone once again went quiet as you sat down next to Lily. This time it was because they obeyed their respected headmaster, who gestured the students to keep quiet.

He then began to talk to pupils. “First of all I want to welcome the new students. I’d also like to introduce some of the new professors” – he proceeded to speak of teachers, introducing them one by one, and which subject they’ll be teaching.

After the event was over, you were ordered to follow head of the year’s, one for each house. So you followed the whole Gryffindor’s group.



You were soon led to changing staircases and stopped to look at one large painting of a posh woman holding a wine glass. As you looked at all sorts of moving portraits that were waving or gazing at the students, Lily tells you that the passage can only be opened by a Gryffindor who knows the password, that’s why we must never forget it.

When you step into the room, you see a cozy living room, Lily told you that it’s the area where every Gryffindor hangs out and that the bedroom are upstairs, one for boys and one for girls.



When you head to girls room, you notice a few of them glance your way but you couldn’t make out whether it was a good glance or a bad glance. Lily then pointed out that Hogwarts takes care of all the baggage.

She then told you that it has been a long night and you should rest. You agreed.

You found yourself in darkness. All you saw were flashing lights, and a man screaming for help. You were there, staring at him but doing nothing. His face was a pale blur and yours was blank. You were surrounded by fierceful trees who looked like they were about to spit fire, leaning back and forth like a bunch of maniacs, there was a sound of rain, heavy rain, which sounded like a bunch of angry snakes to you.

You woke up in cold sweat, in your bed. You look around the room and everyone, including Lily were asleep.



It was still dark outside and it was obviously raining. Not aware of what the dream meant you decided to get some fresh air outside the room.

So you headed down the changing staircases, right down to the ground floor, went into a hallway and gazed at the outside.



Many would find dark, empty hallways uneasy but it felt relaxing to you. You leaned against a window, and stared through it. Your focus was not on the view, however, but rather on your dream. Was it a memory or a dream? Seemed real yet it was not. You brainstormed and brainstormed until you heard a familiar voice coming from behind you.

“You’re not supposed to be out here at this hour”

You turned around, a bit startled but in your relief it wasn’t a teacher. But it was someone else, someone you’ve already seen back at the train and at the carriage. It was Tom.

You turn to face him and respond “Neither should you”

He slowly started stepping towards you.

“A lot of things happen in this school when it’s dark” – he says

You were not sure what to think about it, yet you knew you’d have to make an excuse

“I’m out here for a walk. Fresh air, that’s all.”

His cold sneer did not change at you, but he now stood only a few footsteps away from you.

“Half-blood or pure-blood?” – he asked

“Does it matter?” – you reply

“Mudblood?” – he then proceeds to speak in a low toned voice, his cold gaze was giving you shivers

“Excuse me?”

“This school promises to turn any witch or wizard very powerful” – he spoke slowly. “So far, it does not look like you’ll be one of them.”

He then turned around and walked down the hallway, you stared at his back until he disappeared in the dark. Unsure of what his problem was, you decided it would be best for you to head back to the room and try your best to fall asleep, just in case he wouldn’t snitch on your decision.

You return to your room, and once again lay in your bed. You close your eyes and relax.
Here we go, part 2 :D 

The curiosity of new students, am I right? just wandering around the halls like a maniac

And if you haven't noticed yet, my story isn't following the whole age scheme, so if the time of events taking place don't make sense, excuse it. (or any of the characters)

I love how you don't spend too much time on detail. Many fanfic writers spend paragraph after paragraph writing about a room/character, even though the readers have already seen the movie/book the fanfic is about.


Also, love this: Many would find dark, empty hallways uneasy but it felt relaxing to you. :D Don't really know why, it just speaks to me
