"Shay! Shay!"

I lifted my eyes from my food as my mother came running in with a letter in hand.

"You got a letter!"

My mother gave it to me. It had my full name written neatly onto the front of it. I turned it over ready to open it, when it was snatched out of my hands.

"Jack! Give it back!"

I stood up from my chair ready to snatch it from him, when he lifted it as high as he could.

"You've been excepted into Hogwarts"

I stood there acting confused, my eyes still on the letter. My brother bent down to look at my face.

"Do you not remember what Hogwarts is?"

"Yes I do!"

I snatched the letter back and opened it before it could be taken from me again.

Dear Ms. Caster

We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. Please find the enclosed list of all necessary books and equipment.

Term begins 1 September. We await your owl no later than 31 July.

Yours sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress

Behind the letter was a list of books and items.

"Oh our daughters growing up"

My mom pretended to fake cry and she 'wiped a tear' from under her eye. I just rolled my eyes and continued to read the list of items.

The day had come. I was now entering platform nine and three quarters. I was a little late but not majorly. My parents and my brother waved to me as I boarded the train. Almost immediately after I had gotten on the train, it start to move.

Thanks train scare the heck out of me.

I walked through the isles looking for an open seat, but none was found. Ah wait scratch that. There was space in one of them, it only had a boy with round glasses and a red head sitting there.

I knocked on the door opening it afterward.

"May I sit here? Everywhere else is full."

They both looked up at me nodding. I closed the door after I had entered, sitting the farthest away from them.

"I'm Ronald Weasly"

I looked to the red head, he held out his hand to me, which I took out of courtesy.

"Shay Caster"

I leaned back into the seat looking out the window at the trees and the lake. It was a sucky view because I was looking at it half way across the cart cabin thing.

"I'm Harry, Harry Potter"

I looked over to the boy with round glasses, my eyes wide.

"Really? Your Harry Potter?!"

He nodded. I sat up in my seat. I couldn't believe it, I was sitting near Harry Potter. My parents would always tell stories about him when me and my brother were little. My mom knew all about that night, because she works at the ministry of magic. She says it was the most hectic night ever.

I was about to say something when the squeaking of wheels interrupted me. I hate squeaky wheels.

"Anything from the trolley dears? Anything from the trolley?"

Ron held up a mangled sandwich thing saying he was all set. I just shook my head. But before I knew it Harry had payed for the whole thing.

We had made it to Hogwarts. And now we were standing in front of one of the professors. Professor McGonagall I believe. She called up one person at a time and placed a hat on their head, the hat -which was the sorting hat- would tell them their house. I wasn't sure which house I would be in because my family's a little weird. My dad was Ravenclaw and my mom and my brother were both Gryffindor. So I'm at a loss.

"Rickashay Caster"

That's me. I made my way to the stool and sat on top of it. It felt weird when the sorting hat was placed on my head, he would move around, it was kinda fun really.

"Hmm"

The voice of the sorting hat rang in my ears.

"Your a tricky one"

Really? I never knew.

"Your brave like a Gryffindor."

He moved around on my head a little more.

"But your wise like a Ravenclaw"

I just sat there. I really didn't care.

"Your a hard worker like Hufflepuff"

"But your determined and cunning like Slytherin..."

"Where to put you."

I just waited. He moved around a bit more. You know what troubles me, I don't know the actual gender of the sorting hat. I mean he sounds like a man, but some women sound like men. But he could have no gender at all because he's a hat.
