The woman turned around and opened a large pair of double doors and walked in a large room as all the first years followed. The group walked into a large, grand room that had floating candle sticks near the ceiling,with four long tables with students wearing robes and black hats sitting at them. In the back of the room there was a platform with another long table with many adults sitting at it. On the platform there was a wooden stool with an old brown witches hat that appeared to have a face on it, resting on the stool. They walked along an aisle of two of the long tables, the first years then stopped in front of the stage like platform and the woman stopped beside the wooden stool.

"Before you get sorted into your houses, professor Dumbledore would like to say a couple words." The woman spoke while gesturing to an old man with glasses and long white hair and a long beard.

"Hello, first years please note that the dark forest is strictly forbidden to all students. And students our caretaker, Mr. Filch, has asked that I remind you that the third floor corridor is out of bounds, to anyone that doesn't want to die a horrible, painful death". Amy's face was filled with concern when she heard that last part. 'Is this place safe for, you know, literal children?' Amy thought to herself, but for once decided to not speak up about it.

"Thank you" Dumbledore finished his speech. The woman then then began to speak, "when I call your name, come up to be sorted into your houses".

The woman then unrolled piece of parchment that was tucked under her arm. "Hermione Granger" she called out. Amy flashed Hermione a supportive smile which she returned. Then Hermione tuned back around and began walking to the sorting hat, she was muttering under her breath about relaxing and staying calm.

"Mental that one, I'm telling you" Ron said to Harry as Harry nodded in agreement. That comment caused Amy to elbow both boys in the ribs, hard. The boys whipped their heads around to Amy, whispering "what was that for?". Amy smirked at them as if she where saying 'you know why'.

When Hermione sat on the stool, McGonagall placed the old hat on her head. Within seconds its almost as if the hat came to life, it said a few words before shouting " GRYFFINDOR". The students at the Gryffindor began clapping and cheering as Hermione hopped off the stool after McGonagall lifted the hat off of her head and went to sit with them.

"Draco Malfoy" McGonagall said while looking at the parchment. The blonde boy's face lit up as he walked up to the stool and sat down. McGonagall began lowering the hat onto Draco's head when it shouted "SLYTHERIN". Amy slightly giggled to herself that the hat knew his house with even touching him. Draco got off of the stool and went to the Slytherin house where his housemates where cheering for him.

"Amy Brown" McGonagall called. Amy then strutted up to the stool. She sat down as the hat was lowered onto Amy's head. She sat there as the room was silent for a couple of seconds as the hat muttered under its breath before shouting "SLYTHERIN". Amy grinned as she winked to the crowd as she began to walk to the now cheering Slytherin table.

Amy sat down at the table as Draco and some of her house mates hugged, and congratulated her for getting into Slytherin. The room wen silent as Amy watched her two friends get sorted into Gryffindor, she was a little sad that they weren't in the same house as her, but happy that they where with Hermione.

After everyone was sorted into their houses Dumbledore raised his hands above his said as he said loudly "let the feast begin". Like magic, a large meal that was spread across the tables all through the Great Hall appeared within seconds. Amy gasped at how much food there was. The brunettes face lit up as she began to look around at what foods she wanted to eat. After she found some food she wanted, she decided to strike up a conversation, after all they where going to be like her family for the next 7 years.

"So, what do you think life here will be like?" Amy asked.

"Don't know, but I hope I have fun" Draco said, smiling.

"Me too" Amy replied as she rested her chin in her hands as she began to think of what her life at Hogwarts would be like. "I want to make a lot of friends, I'm already friends with Harry, Ron, and Hermione, I met them on the train, so that's a good start" Amy added with a smile.

Draco's face went from a smile, to a look of disgust. "Your friends with that Potter and Weasly, not to mention that mudblood Granger".

Amy looked at Draco angrily as she rose up and leaned her self over the table to look him in the eye. "Yes I am, got a problem with that?" Amy replied sternly as she narrowed her eyes at him. Draco then blushed in fear as he leaned back. "N-no" was all he managed to say before Amy sat back down. She then crossed her arms as her lips curled into a smirk "Good" she said, glad that she didn't get into a fight this early in the year. "Your quite bold, I don't believe I've formally introduced myself, I'm Draco Malfoy". Draco said with a grin. "Amy Brown" she said, returning the grin.
