Arrival at Hogwarts:
Stepping off of the Hogwarts Express nervously, Silvia followed a loud voice, booming over the hundreds of people. Not able to see over the many heads , she pushed her way to the voice, finally getting there unharmed. Her eyes looked up at the giant hairy man, blocking out the light of the moon, standing in his shadow - others were staring up at him too.
Once all first years were gathered, they all headed over to the lake, watching the other students ride up to the castle in horseless carriages through the trees as she walked with the others. They didn't have to walk too far, down the steep narrow walkway, surrounded by trees. Silvia turned around the bend and there, in plain sight was Hogwarts castle.
She gazed up at its beautiful structure of many towers, the golden lights shining from a couple of windows, while the others reflected black. Carrying on down the widening path was a huge black lake which mirrored the starry sky above. On the lake, bobbing up and down on the water, which caught her eye, were numerous boats, little boats about enough room for four people to each.
All the boats glided along the lake as if floating, all heading towards the castle, watching it getting bigger and bigger by the minute - Silvia was hypnotised by its vast size and beauty of the place. She couldn't wait to get inside.
From the outside the castle seemed cold but once she was in, she felt warm and welcomed, she fell in love with it in first sight, and it was even better inside. They were all gathered outside large oak doors, people chatting excitingly and nervously along each other. Silvia listened rather than spoke, she now just wanted to know what house she would be placed in. Her mother had told her about the Sorting Hat and not to be so afraid and to relax - she would do just that.
A professor appeared up front, she didn't notice until she heard her speak over the voices, asking for all to be quiet. She explained what was going to happen and soon enough they were walking into the Great Hall of Hogwarts.
Silvia gasped, looking up at the millions of candles floating high above them, a smile on her face, not taking any notice of the older students on each of the four long tables - watching all the newcomers walk. Her eyes looked around, up at the stone figures at top near the windows and each of the house flags, swaying freely.
People in front were stopping as they were all now gathered, facing the staff table. Silvia didn't quite notice and walked into the light haired boy in front, and quickly apologized, her cheeks redden slightly.
She was starting to feel nervous as she watched the professor place a four legged stool in the middle, and then the Sorting Hat - an old, tattered hat moving as if it was looking around at them.
Silvia jumped a little as the hat began to sing, not expecting it, she smiled in amusement but started to listen to the words it sang. After, the hall broke into applause and the first years did the same, a couple however didn't and were talking to each other, snickering.
One by one, in alphabetical order of last name, each of the first years were being called up and sorted into their houses. Silvia's heart was thudding harder as the professor was calling out each 'A', waiting for her name to be called. I must stay calm, she thought, watching a girl sit on the stool and placing the tattered hat upon her head - she looked worried.
A couple of minutes went by "HUFFLEPUFF!" the hat shouted and the hall filled with applause - mostly from the table she was rushing over to.
"Alexia, Silvia" Silvia swallowed, her legs were like jelly and she was surprised she could walk. She sat down on the stool, her hands grabbing the hat, shaking, she placed it on her head.
The hat moved, muttering a little, her heart was racing, hundreds of eyes were on her, watching her every move and reaction, waiting to know what house she would be placed in.
"Hmmm, I could see you in one of two houses... but you seem to fit best in HUFFLEPUFF!"
