The door swung open at once. A tall, black-haired witch in emerald-green robes stood there. She had a very stern face and Harry's first thought was that this was not someone to cross.

"The firs' years, Professor McGonagall," said Hagrid.

"Thank you, Hagrid. I will take them from here."

She pulled the door wide. The entrance hall was so big you could have fit the whole of the Dursleys' house in it. The stone walls were lit with flaming torches like the ones at Gringotts, the ceiling was too high to make out, and a magnificent marble staircase facing them led to the upper floors.

They followed Professor McGonagall across the flagged stone floor. Harry could hear the drone of hundreds of voices from a doorway to the right the rest of the school must already be
here but Professor McGonagall showed the first years into a small, empty chamber off the hall. They crowded in, standing rather closer together than they would usually have done, peering about nervously.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," said Professor McGonagall. "Now in a few moments, you will pass through these doors and join your classmates but before you can take your seats you must be sorted into your Houses."

"They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each House has its noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your House will be like your family, your triumphs will earn your House points, while any rulebreaking will lose House points. At the end of the year, the House with the most points is awarded the House Cup-"

"Trevor!" Neville said as he pushed through the crowd to pick up his little toad

He looked up at Professor McGonagall and apologized then went back to standing up with the others while (Y/n) gave him a reassuring smile seeing how nervous he was

"The Sorting Ceremony will take place in a few minutes before the rest of the school. I suggest you all smarten yourselves up as much as possible while waiting." Her eyes lingered for a moment on Neville's cloak, which was fastened under his left ear, and on Ron's smudged nose. Harry nervously tried to flatten his hair.

"I shall return when we are ready for you," said Professor McGonagall.

"Please wait quietly."

She left the chamber.

"It's true then"

Ron, Harry and (Y/n) looked over at the blonde boy who (Y/n) fought with on the train and she scrolled

"What they're saying on the train. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts" he smirked and moved forward towards the three friends while everyone started whispering

"This is Crab and Goyle" He introduced the two boys beside him

"And I'm Malfoy. Draco Malfoy." As he finished Ron snickered at him and Draco scowled at him
