Jasmine's POV

So mum ended up being gone all summer. She found the dragon egg poacher. But he had already given the egg to the person who had hired him to nab it. He had no idea who the man was as he kept his cloak up. Mum continued tracking it all summer in the hopes of finding the egg before it hatches and return it to it's mother at the Dragon Sanctuary in Romania.

Anyway Lady and I stayed with dad the rest of the summer. He left occasionally to tend to things at Hogwarts. But he had one of the Hogwarts elves prepare my mails and keep me company. I read all my course books and helped dad brew some potions for Madame Pomfrey.

But today is September first. We had collected Hermione and her parents. Dad lead us to platforms nine and ten. "I don't understand" Mr Granger.

"You said we were going to platform nine and three quarters" Mrs Granger adds.

"There's no such thing, right?" Hermione asks me unsure.

"Oh there is" I tell her with a smile.

"My daughter will demonstrate" dad tells them. I stand in front of the barrier with my trolley. I went through. Hermione soon appeared with her mother. Dad appeared not long after with Mr Granger. "Now that you have come through the barrier once, it'll let you through in future" he tells Mr and Mrs Granger.

"Wow" Hermione says looking at the train.

"That's the Hogwarts Express, nonstop ride to Hogsmeade station" I tell her.

"That's the entire magical village not ten minutes from Hogwarts right?" she asks.

"Yep" I state.

"How long is the journey?" Mr Granger asks my dad.

"About seven hours, they'll arrive and be sorted. Then have dinner" dad tells him.

"What about lunch?" Mrs Granger asks him.

"A lady goes around with a trolley of food, which Jasmine has money for" dad states. "You two should get onto the train, you don't want to be late" he tells me. I nod and Hermione said goodbye to her parents. We then boarded the train. We find a compartment with a lone boy our age inside.

"Hi, can we sit with you?" I ask him. He nods his head. We put our trunks in the luggage rank and I shut the door. Before letting Lady out.

"Oh she's gorgeous" Hermione states.

"Her name is Lady" I tell her with a smile.

"Like from Lady and the Tramp?" she asks. I nod my head.

"Lady and the Tramp?" the boy asks confused.

"A muggle movie, pure-blood?" I ask him curious.

"Yeah, grew up with my Gran in the magical world" he states. "Are you both muggle-born?" he asks curious.

"I am" Hermione tells him.

"Half-blood, though grew up in both worlds" I state. "What's your name?" I ask him curious.

"Neville, yours?" he asks us.

"Hermione" she states.

"Jasmine" I say.

"Do you have a pet?" Hermione asks.

"A toad, want to see?" he asks us. We nod and he looks for it. "Trevor" he says confused and checks his pockets.

"What's wrong Neville?" I ask him.

"I can't find him" he states sadly.

"We'll help you look for him" Hermione states. I agree. We left Lady in the compartment and search for Trevor. No luck.

But while in the boats on the way to Hogwarts. Hagrid returned Neville's toad. He lead us to the castle entrance hall. Where he left us with professor McGonagall. "Welcome to Hogwarts. 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. Now while you're here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you house points. Any rule breaking, and you will lose points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup" she explains.

"The sorting ceremony will begin momentarily" she adds. Then left us to check to see if the rest of the school was ready for us. While she was gone I watched Draco introduce himself to Harry Potter. I smile when Harry refused to shake his hand, I think Harry and I will become good friends. Despite my parents history with his.

McGonagall returned and lead us into the Great Hall. Up between the house table. We line up in front of the staff table. In front of a stall that the sorting hat is sitting on. "When I call your name, you will come forth, I shall place the sorting hat on your head, and you will be sorted into your houses" she tells us and calls us alphabetically.

Hermione was sorted in Gryffindor, along with Harry and Neville. Draco was sorted into Slytherin, no surprises there. Though I wonder what house I'll be in. Dad was in Slytherin and is head of slytherin house. So people would think I'd be put in that house. But my mum was a Gryffindor like most born Prewett's. Guess I'll find out tonight, my parents assured me they'd be proud no matter what.

"Jasmine Snape!" McGonagall calls. I take a deep calming breath and walked forward. I sat on the stall and the hat was placed on my head.

"Ah I have been waiting to sort you miss Snape" the hat tells me.

"Bet you have" I tell it with a smile.

"You are much like your father, but also are like your mother. Have qualities of both Gryffindor and Slytherin" he states.

"Where do I belong?" I ask him. "I trust your judgment" I state. He hums and thinks things over.

"You are Resourceful, ambition, cunning, brave, determined, daring and have courage to face even your worst fear" he states. "Better be, Gryffindor!" he yells. The hat is removed and I look up at my dad. He simply nods and I give him a small smile. Before going to sit next to Hermione.

Everyone else was sorted. The feast began and it was amazing. Afterwards, Dumbledore gave his start of term speech. Before he told us to go to bed. The fifth year prefects showed us first years to our common rooms.  When I reached my dorm, I see Lady had already claimed a bed for the window for us.

"Good girl" I praise her and got ready for bed. Hermione took the bed across from mine on the other side of the window. While the other girls claimed the other beds. We all went to sleep.
