I love! I can't wait to see what happens next!!!

I told my friend Airensis (not her real name Admins) that I was the outgoing troublemaker in your story, and she almost fell out of her chair, she was laughing so hard. I have no problem being this way, it's just so unlike me. I'm usually that quiet kid in the corner with a book, always adhering exactly to the rules. It'll be fun to be something different this time!

That’s actually really funny, because I’m the opposite. My character is beginning to fit me just a bit. I’m usually mischievous, and that’s why there’s this one sub teacher that doesn’t like me-Well, let’s not get into that. XD

Next part out soon! Sorry, guys, I just haven't had much time lately, but I'm working on it!

Amazing! I gotta run though, I'm late for a class.

Allie restlessly fiddled with her hair, her heart thudding in her chest like a drum. Time seemed to be going in slow motion, as if the world were holding its breath. This was really happening, and she knew it! She was at Hogwarts, waiting in the corridor for Proffesor McGonogall to lead the first years into the Great Hall for the first time. All the confidence she had spent hours carefully building up on the train had drained out of her. 

"Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, this is really happening." Vyolette whispered to herself beside her. The girl looked pale with fright, and her excitement looked like the only thing keeping her from fainting dead away. 

Suddenly, the double doors at the end of the corridor burst open dramatically and Mcgonogall stood, observing the group through her steel-rimmed spectacles. "Thank you for being patient." She said. "Please follow me to the sorting ceremony." As if in a trance, Allie moved one foot in front of the other and, slightly dazed, she took her place in the line. She was in front of Vyolette, and behind a messy looking boy who seemed to be reading a book. Allie swallowed a smile. The boy was reading a book?? Shaking her head slightly, as if giving a small sort of shudder, she followed the boy into the Great Hall.

As Kitten stepped into the Great Hall, relief flooded over her. This was real. Now she was positive this wasn't a prank. This, this was something else. The great hall was filled with four long tables all facing one enormous one in the very end of the room. The Professor's  table, which was also where they were going to be sorted. The roof, well, the sky was a beautiful inky black, twinkling with stars. The four banners suspended above their heads, flickering in the candlelight, represented each of the four houses. Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin. As Kitten stumbled through the aisle she became aware of the hundreds of eyes staring at her, watching her every move. Maybe it was just her imagination playing tricks on her. 

The first years, with Proffesor Mcgonogall in the lead, came to a halt at the end of the hall in front of the Proffesor's table. Mcgonogall told the first student in line to wait there, then she went down the platform and returned with a wooden stool, a parchment scroll and a tatted old hat. "The Sorting Hat!" Someone gasped behind her. Kitten realised she wasn't prepared for this. Not in front of the school anyway. She turned around to LilyPad who stood behind her and gave her a small, nervous smile. Mcgonogall wasn't beating about the bush, though. She began to read names off the list.

Can I be a teacher please (preferably defense Ava the dark arts any teacher auld be great though).

Mcgonogall paused dramatically. She adjusted her spectacles and smoothed out the parchment. "Allie."

The girl bit her lip.. Why did she have to be first? She stumbled out of the line and plonked herself down on the stool, hundreds of eyes peering up at her. Proffesor Mcgonogall placed the hat delicately on Allie's head. She could hear the sorting hat whispering into her ear. Ah yes. It said. Brilliant, brilliant. Clever, kind, ready to learn. I know just what to do with you. HUFFLEPUFF!" The hall exploded with cheers. Dazed, but relieved, Allie skipped off the platform to join her fellow Hufflepuffs. She sat down next to a tall blonde girl who shook her hand and said "Welcome to Hogwarts."

"Aspen!" Mcgonogall called. Everything seemed to be going in slow motion. Aspen walked slowly towards the stool and cautiously took a seat, careful not to fall over, break anything or stumble. Mcgonogall smile kindly at her before placing the sorting hat in her head. The hat barely touched her before is shouted "Gryffindoor!" Aspen went to join her new house table, proudly.

Kitten: Ravenclaw!

Kyoto: Gryffindoor! 

LilyPad: Ravenclaw! 

Moonfrost: Slytherin!

Secret: Hufflepuff! 

Starseeker: Slytherin!

Vyolette: Hufflepuff!

The Great Hall erupted with cheers once more as the last name was called. Kitten smiled warmly at LilyPad who had just joined the Ravenclaws. The students had begun to talk again, but as soon as Proffesor Mcgonogall took her place on the Head Mistress chair in the middle of the table, the hall fell silent. "Welcome back to another year at Hogwarts." Said Mcgonogall, smiling warmly. "Before we begin our start of term feast, I would like to tell you all some general rules that you will do well to remember. First off, as usual, the Forbidden Forest on the grounds of Hogwarts is, of course, of limits. Also, as most of you know, you will receive Friday afternoons off. And one last thing: Due to popular demand, first year are now allowed to play Quidditch for their houses if they make the team. That is all."

More later!
