[Chapter 2] The Grand Staircase
Amy and Hermione met up with Harry and Ron as they exited the train. Amy adjusted herself so her bag was across her shoulder underneath her robes. The group began walking when saw a large man with long hair and a beard, holding a lantern while waving his arm so people know to follow him. The four went up to him as everyone followed. The giant led them to many row boats witch groups of four boarded. Amy, Hermione, Harry, and Ron found an empty boat with a lantern in it, one at a time the boarded and sat down. Amy and Harry sat in the front , and Hermione and Ron sat in the back. They picked up the ores and rowed the boat to the castle where they will be staying for the school year.
Since they where towards the front, they where one of the first boats at the dock. There was a large crowd in front of the school as they followed the man they called Hagrid. They entered the school and went up the grand stair case, to see an old woman standing at the top, waiting for them.
"Welcome to Hogwarts, now in a few moments you will pass through these doors and join your classmates, but before can take your seats, you must be sorted into your houses. There are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Now while your here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn new points, any rule braking will lose points. At the end of the year the house with the most points is awarded the house cup.
"TREVOR". A boy exclaimed as a toad hopped out of his hands and onto the ground in front of the woman. He walked up to her and picked him up, when he looked up at her, a quiet 'sorry' was heard from him as he walked back to where he was standing.
" The sorting ceremony will being momentarily " the woman said as she walked away.
"Its true then, what there saying on the train". Said a boy with platinum blonde hair with at least a gallon of gel in it, his right eye was a light blue, and his left was an ice grey.
"Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts, this is Crabb and Goyle, and I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy. He continued as Ron let out a small chuckle. "Think my names funny don't you?" Draco said clearly irritated as he looked Ron up and down. "No need to ask for yours, red hair and a hand-me-down robe, you must be a Weasly.
"You have no right to make fun of someone's background, or at least in this case where they got their robe" Amy said sternly as she stepped closer to Draco.
"Yet he has the right to make fun of my name?" Draco asked while narrowing his eyes at Amy. He kinda had a point, but she had to make this right.
"I never said he did, then again all he did was laugh while you went out of your way and insulted him, so you both did something wrong, there its even" Amy said crossing her arms as she looked at both Ron and Draco.
Draco's eyes softened as he simply stated "I guess your right on that one"
"Yeah" Ron simply said with a small smile.
Draco then turned back to Harry and said "They'll soon find out that some wizarding families are better than others Potter, you don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort. Draco said with a smirk while holding his hand out to Harry.
Harry looked at Draco's hand then at him with a scowl on his face. "I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself thanks". Harry and Draco switched expressions with harry smirking and Draco the one with a scowl. Ron tried to hold back another laugh as Hermione and Amy smiled at each other knowing where Harry got this new bound boldness from.
The woman re entered the room holding a rolled up piece of parchment in her hand when she tapped Draco on the shoulder with it where he then walked back to Crabbe and Goyle. " We're ready for you now, follow me." She said as she turned around and began walking to a large pair of double doors.
