Sorting day
Jessica and I spent the day waiting for the rest of the students to get here. In the past we would get to sit with out older friends at their table or the teachers or whoever we wanted to. No one cared what we did as long as we didn't mess with what they were doing or tried something too dangerous. I mainly stuck with the older Gryffindor's. Katie Bell was like my older sister and Oliver Wood was like an older protective brother, but Cedric Diggory is cool too. I also like the Weasly twins! Jessica had friends in Ravenclaw and Slytherin but she spent a lot of time alone. She was more independent than I was.Anyways so everyone finally got here. We joined the first years once they got to the castle. They didn't even notice we weren't there before, they we too caught up in everything else. We walked up a couple of staircases and we found Professor McGonagall up at the top. She gave me and Jessica a nod and started talking.
"Welcome to Hogwarts. You will be sorted into your houses. Your house will be like your family. There's Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Wait here a moment." When she had completely disappeared behind the door to the Great Hall, all of us started talking. I turned to Jessica, "Do you think we will be in the same house?" I asked. She shook her head. "You're mental if you think we will. We are completely different." She said. I looked at her waiting for her to start laughing. She was my best friend, my twin. She did have a point though, we had different friends and interests. We didn't even look alike.
Professor McGonagall walked back out and told us to come in. We walked along the middle aisle as I had seen all the other first years before me do. I high-fived my friends as I went. I was trying not to be nervous. A couple names were called. I knew most of the first years, Dumbledore kept a file on every student and those that would be coming in. I spent some of the summer memorizing my classmates.
"Taylor Dolton." I heard my name and went and sat on the stool. I expected to be nervous but I wasn't so I smiled and waited for the hat to decide. I was declared Gryffindor! I sat down next to Hermione. I listened to the names being called out then, based off of what I knew about them, would make a guess to where they would be sorted. Jessica was last to be sorted. I know she said that we wouldn't be in the same house but I still hoped. She was sorted into Slytherin. She walked over to sit by Draco and he put his arm around her. WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?!!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!
