Also, I should explain the 7th year compartment is the closest to the front of the train, while the first is at the back she went through almost every compartment in years 2-7 asking if they knew where he was and when she got to the last compartment of the year 2 they just told her he was most likely in the 1st year compartment and Ron just so happened to be the 2nd Compartment after the closest to the 2nd years

(Hogsmeade Station, 8 pm, 9/1/1991) # MONTH/DAY/YEAR #

Hogsmeade station was a "tiny, dark platform" where the Hogwarts Express ended its journey north from Platform Nine and Three-Quarters. The railway station served both the village of Hogsmeade and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

[???]「 We will be reaching Hogwarts in five minutes' time. Please leave your luggage on the train, it will be taken to the school separately. 」A voice echoed through the train, having heard the announcement everyone in the carriage had left to get on the platform, but just before they left I went into my spiritual form,

# Fou is of the beast class, Has Inf Mana, Has the Independent Manifestation skill as well, and since he's not from the Potterverse originally he has to be there as a servant, It makes sense to me okay! #

[Hagrid]「 Firs' years! Firs' years over here! All right there, is everyone here? 」Hagrid was searching through the crowd with his eyes, to find the small dark-haired little girl he met just a month earlier, Not spotting her Hagrid's big hairy face gained a look of confusion over the sea of heads, afterwards he turned around to start leaving

[Hagrid]「 Right then, this way to the boats. C'mon, Follow me — any more firs' years? Mind yer step, now! Firs' years follow me! 」Slipping and stumbling, they followed Hagrid down what seemed to be a steep, narrow path, It was very dark on either side of the path because of the large number of trees, although nobody spoke much

[Hagrid]「 Yeh'll get yer firs' sight o' Hogwarts in a sec! 」 Hagrid called over his shoulder to the students following him

[Hagrid]「 jus' round this bend here! 」There was a loud "Oooooh!" after everyone had rounded the bend Because the narrow path had opened suddenly onto the edge of a great black lake, Perched atop a high mountain on the other side, its windows sparkling in the starry sky was a vast castle with many turrets and towers

[Hagrid]「 No more'n four to a boat! 」 Hagrid called, pointing to a fleet of little boats sitting in the water by the shore, Harriet and Draco were followed into their boat by Blaise and Pansy

[Hagrid]「 Everyone in? Right then — FORWARD! 」And the flock of little boats moved off all at the same time, gliding across the water, which was as smooth as glass, with no waves, Everyone was silent, staring up at the great castle overhead, It towered over them as they sailed closer and closer to the cliff upon which it stood

[Hagrid]「 Heads down! 」 Hagrid yelled as the first boats reached the cliff; they all bent their heads and the little boats carried them through a curtain of ivy that hid a wide opening in the cliff face continuing onward until they reached a kind of underground harbour, where they clambered out onto rocks and pebbles.

[Hagrid]「 Everyone here? 」After they clambered up a passageway in the rock after Hagrid's lamp, coming out at last onto smooth, damp grass right in the shadow of the castle. They walked up a flight of stone steps and crowded around the huge, oak front door,

The door swung open at once. A tall, black-haired witch in emerald-green robes stood there. She had a very stern face and Harriet's first thought was that this was not someone to cross.

[Hagrid]「The firs' years, Professor McGonagall 」Hagrid had said

[McGonagall]「 Thank you, Hagrid, I will take them from here 」She thanked the Half-Giant, Turning around, she pulled the door wide open, she entrance hall was humongous. The stone walls were lit with flaming torches like the ones at Gringotts Bank, the ceiling was too high to make out, and a magnificent marble staircase facing them led to the upper floors.

They followed McGonagall across the flagged stone floor. I could hear the drone of hundreds of voices from a doorway to the right, where the rest of the school was, but the Professor guided the first years into a small, empty chamber off the hall, they crunched in, standing rather close together, peering about nervously.

[McGonagall]「 Welcome to Hogwarts, The start-of-term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into your houses, The Sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts, You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory, and spend free time in your house common room 」She sternly informed the students, Her voice had a certain feel to it, the tone left no room for disagreement but was soft and caring

[McGonagall]「 The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin, Each house has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards, While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your house points, while any rulebreaking will lose house points, At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup, a great honour, I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours 」She continued to explain to her new first-year students about the house, and what's expected of them while attending Hogwarts

[McGonagall]「 The Sorting Ceremony will take place in a few minutes in front of the rest of the school. I suggest you all smarten yourselves up as much as you can while you are waiting, I shall return when we are ready for you, Please wait quietly 」Her eyes lingered for a moment on Neville's cloak, which was fastened under his left ear, and on Ron's smudged nose, Once She finished, she left behind the students to go into the Great Hall, After she left everyone was quiet and nervous waiting for her to arrive back to invite them in

[MOBU1]「 How exactly do they sort us into houses? 」Some random kid asked Ron, I guess they would take the place of harry somewhat

[Ronald]「 Some sort of test, I think, my older brother Fred said it hurts a lot, but I think he was joking 」Ron had explained to the child beside him, Now that I got a good look at it, this child looked as if Hermoine was gender-bent... FUCK!, And while I was contemplating if that was true, something happened that made some people jump about a foot in the air, several people behind us screamed

About twenty ghosts had just streamed through the back wall, Pearly-white and slightly transparent, they glided across the room talking to one another and hardly glancing at the first years, They seemed to be arguing about another ghost

[Friar]「 Forgive and forget, I say, we ought to give him a second chance--- 」What looked like a fat little monk was said

[???]「 My dear Friar, haven't we given Peeves all the chances he deserves? He gives us all a bad name and you know, he's not really even a ghost--- I say, what are you all doing here? 」A ghost wearing a ruff and tights had suddenly noticed the first years, Although no student answered him.

[Friar]「 New students! About to be Sorted, I suppose?」A few people nodded mutely at the ghost of Hufflepuff, The Fat Friar

[Friar]「 Hope to see you in Hufflepuff! My old house, you know? 」

[McGonagall]「Move along now! The students must be off, The Sorting Ceremony's about to start 」Professor McGonagall had returned to the new students, And One after the other, the ghosts floated away through the opposite wall

[McGonagall]「 Now! form a line, and follow me 」She ordered the students

[Fou]「 Fou-Fou-kyuuu (Hey Harriet, I'm gonna explore the castle) 」I notified Harriet that I would explore the castle when in reality I'm gonna get a good spot in the great hall to watch what is to unfold

[Harriet]「 Alright I'll see you later then 」Harriet got into line behind a boy with sandy hair, with Ron behind her, Ron even had the audacity to sneer at her, but at least knew now wasn't the time to cause trouble

And then they walked out of the chamber, back across the hall, and through a pair of double doors into the Great Hall, Where was I you might ask? well I was Right beside McGonagall the whole time, and when we arrived I jumped up to the top of one of the pillars, the view was perfect

It was lit by thousands of and thousands of candles that were floating in midair over four long tables, where the rest of the students were sitting, These tables were laid with glittering golden plates and goblets, At the top of the hall was another long table where the teachers were sitting, McGonagall led the first years up in front of the teacher's table in a line facing the other students, with the teachers behind them, Dotted here and there among the students, the ghosts shone misty silver, looking up you could see a velvety black ceiling dotted with stars, It was hard to believe there was a ceiling there at all, and that the Great Hall didn't simply open to the heavens, McGonagall silently placed a four-legged stool in front of the first years, On top of the stool she put a pointed wizard's hat, This hat was patched and frayed and extremely dirty

For a few seconds, there was complete silence, Then the hat twitched, A rip near the brim opened wide like a mouth and the hat began to sing

[The Sorting Hat]

「Oh, you may not think I'm pretty,

But don't judge on what you see,

I'll eat myself if you can find,

A smarter hat than me,

You can keep your bowlers black,

Your top hats sleek and tall,

For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat,

And I can cap them all,

There's nothing hidden in your head,

The Sorting Hat can't see,

So try me on and I will tell you,

Where you ought to be.,

You might belong in Gryffindor,

Where dwell the brave at heart,

Their daring, nerve,

and chivalry Set Gryffindors apart;

You might belong in Hufflepuff,

Where they are just and loyal,

Those patient Hufflepuffs are true And unafraid of toil;

Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,

if you've a ready mind,

Where those of wit and learning,

Will always find their kind;

Or perhaps in Slytherin

You'll make your real friends,

Those cunning folk use any means,

To achieve their ends,

So put me on! Don't be afraid!

And don't get in a flap!

You're in safe hands (though I have none)

For I'm a Thinking Cap! 」The whole hall burst into applause as the hat finished its song. It bowed to each of the four tables and then became quite still again.

# Yes I Copy pasted the hats song, I bloody love it #

[Ron]「So we've just got to try on the hat!, I'll kill Fred, he was going on about wrestling a troll 」Ron angrily muttered to himself, with the whole fiasco on the train I could see Harriet's Visible disgust for him from up here on this tall pillar

Professor McGonagall now stepped forward holding a long roll of parchment

[McGonagall]「 When I call your name, you will put on the hat and sit on the stool to be sorted 」

[McGonagall]「 Abbott, Hannah! 」A pink-faced girl with blonde pigtails stumbled out of line, put on the hat, which fell right downover her eyes, and sat down,

[The Sorting Hat]「HUFFLEPUFF! 」

The table on the right cheered and clapped as Hannah went to sit down at the Hufflepuff table. The ghost of the Fat Friar waved merrily at her as she walked to his house,

[McGonagall]「 Bones, Susan! 」She called another student to the stand

[The Sorting Hat]「HUFFLEPUFF! 」 and Susan scuttled off to sit next to Hannah.

[McGonagall]「 Boot, Terry! 」and yet another to the hat

[The Sorting Hat]「 RAVENCLAW! 」 The table second from the left clapped this time, several Ravenclaws stood up to shake hands with Terry as he joined them,

& Time skip to our Heroine &

[McGonagall]「P-P-Potter-E-E-E-Emrys-Pend-d-d-d-dragon, Harriet! 」The absolute shock after calling out her full name just silenced everyone, they were all too stunned to talk, all of the teachers' faces were just priceless I just wished I had a camera to capture the moment!

[NEXT TIME ON BOKU NO PI- *Ahem* Uh... Primate murder through a multiverse!]
