Ron, Harry, Ash, and I stepped off the train. Only to be greeted by a 10ft tall man shouting "Firs' years over here! Firs' years."

   We made our way towards the man,who Harry referred to as Hagrid.

     We were led to a dozen boats. Where we got an amazing view of Hogwarts. It seemed to camouflage with the night sky. "Woah...Alice I wish you were able to see this." Harry said, patting my back.

    I smirked, if only he knew....

    We finally reached the grounds, where I pulled Ash back so I could talk to him. "What? "

    "I'm gonna stack around here, get a better view of the place. " I muttered, careful of my words.  Ash's mouth made an O shape, then he left with Pikachu.

   3rd p.o.v

      Ash and Pikachu caught up with the others. Where professor McGonagall was standing proudly over the first years. "Now I am Professor McGonagall. In just a few moments you all will be entering the Great Hall and be sorted into your houses -"

     Neville ran infront of the professor and shouted, "Trever!"

    McGonagall gave Neville a glare, making him cower back to his spot. Ahem she was out of sight a boy with white blond hair stepped forward.

    "So its true? Harry Potter is in Hogwarts." He said, walking up to Harry.

    Many kids murmured under Harry's name. "I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy."

      Ron snickered, Draco turned to him. "Think my name's funny do you? I don't even have to ask for yours. Red hair, hand me down robes...you must be a Weasely." Draco retorted.

     "Back off." Ash said, stepping forward and placing a hand on Ron's shoulder.

    "Oh...I see you two have a body guard...watch yourself." Draco turned to Harry. "I see you put yourself in the wrong group...I can help you there." He stuck his hand out for Harry to take.

    Harry looked at the hand, then to Draco's face. "I believe I can find the right sort for myself." The professor came back and tapped Draco on the shoulder ; a signal to step away.

   "We're ready for you now." She led the first years to the great hall, where millions of other students sat at their house's tables.

    "Now when I call your name you will come up here and take a seat. Then I will place the sorting hat on your head, and you will be sorted into your houses." McGonagall lifts up a teared up, tattered brown hat.

    "Hermione Granger."

    Hermione sat down, the hat was placed on her head. "Right now....lets see....Gryffindor!! " An applause came from the Gryffindor table as Hermione made her way to the table.

     "Ron Weasley. "

    The second the hat was placed on his head it spoke. "Aha! Another Weasley, I know just what to do with you .....Gryffindor!"

   "Draco Malfoy."

   Draco walked up to the steps and took a seat. Before the hat touched a hair on his head it shouted out, "Slytherin!! "

    "Harry Potter."

   Murmurs swept through the crowd as Harry made his way to the chair, where the hat was placed on him.

    "Tricky....maybe I should put you in Slytherin." The hat muttered.

"Please no.."

   "No? Well then...better be....GRYFFINDOR!!! "

  A loud applause came from the Gryffindor table as Harry Made his way to the table.

    "Ash Ketchum."

    Ash walked up onto the chair with Pikachu perched on his shoulder. More people whispered to each other ; having never seen Pikachu.

     McGonagall placed the hat on Ash's head, and it immediately spoke.

    "Oh!! A Ketchum I see ...I remember your father very well. Lets see ....lets put you on GRYFFINDOR!!! " 

    Pikachu squealed in delight as Ash walked to the table full of happy students.

  "Alice Ketchum."

   Nobody answered.

   "Is Alice Ketchum here? "

  Alice's p.o.v

    I walked around the school, admiring the moving portraits and glancing around for anyone.  Anyone could admit whoever designed this castle was an amazing architecture.

   Gosh I feel like Annabeth.... wait....who is that?

    Absol and I walked a bit more until I heard my name being called. Looking around frantically I saw where the noise was coming from.

    "Follow me Absol." I muttered as I grabbed his horn and started walking.

   Inside the set of doors was a room with 4 long tables full of students. At the end was another table with a group of adults, including Dumbledore.

   "Is Alice Ketchum here? " A lady in green asked at the front.

   "I'm here." I shouted, raising my hand high above my head. Everyone turned their heads and was shocked to see us. If anyone asks, I blame Absol...

      We made our way to where the lady was, earning murmurs and shocked faces from others. When we finally got on the steps the lady's lips were thin.

    "Ms. Ketchum why weren't you here when I called you? " She asked furiously.

   "I'm sorry miss. You see I'm ..blind." I whispered.

   The lady nodded then sat me down on the chair. From there she placed a brown hat on my head. It was so big it covered my eyes.

    "Oh!! Another Ketchum...your just like your brother, loyal, fair, sometimes feisty. But you want to do everything you can to follow your dreams in your town. I now....Gryffindor!!!"

A thunderous applause broke from the far side table where Ash, Harry,Hermione, and Ron was sitting. Absol and I made our way there then sat down.

    "What took you so long? "Ash playfully asked.

   I shrugged then waved my hands infront of my dull eyes. Everyone fell silent ; Dumbledore was about to speak.

    "Now I have an announcement to make, no students are allowed on the 3rd floor this year. Unless you want to die a painful and miserable death. But other than that, we expect a great year...now let's dig in!! "

    In front us millions of platters full of countless deserts appeared out of thin air. "Alice!! They even have Pokepuffs!! " Ash exclaimed as he handed me one.

     I chuckled, taking a bite.

     After dinner a Prefect was leading us somewhere. As we walked along the stairs most paintings waved their hands or totally ignored us.

     We kept walking until we reached a giant portrait of a fat lady. "Password." She said proudly.

      "Butterbeer."

    The portrait swung open like a door. Which actually revealed a door.

      We crawled through the portrait and into a giant room with chairs, couches, paintings hung in all of the walls, and a giant fireplace at the center.

     "Boy's dormitories are upstairs to the right. Girls same on your left. Now you lot better get some sleep, classes start tomorrow."
