A VOICE ECHOED THROUGHT, A voice echoed through the train, "We will be reaching Hogwarts in five minutes time. Please leave your luggage on the
train, it will be taken to the school separately." Coventina sighed, she want to sleep.

"Lazy, remind me of someone." Remina glance at James, Sirius snickers.

"I wonder who that might be." James says, obliviously.

"Why did I marry that idiot, again?" Lily muttered yet she was not even batting an eye at the jealous slytherin.

Aelora shivered in the cold night air. Then a lamp came bobbing over the heads of the students and Draco heard a familiar voice: "Firs'-years! Firs'-years over here! All right there, guys?" Hagrid's big hairy face beamed over the sea of heads.

"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 so dark either side of them that Coventina thought there must be thick trees there. Nobody spoke much. Neville, the boy who kept losing his toad, sniffed once or twice.

"Black, if you keep staring, then I will tear out your eyes." She muttered as Antares was staring at her dreamly.

"Don't give up, pup!" Sirius smiled proudly.

"You do realize that it's your goddaughter who he is simping for, right?" Regulus asks and suddenly realization hit Sirius just like the crucio cursed hit him before.

"Give up! Give up!" Regulus sighed.

"Yeh'll get yer firs' sight o' Hogwarts in a sec," Hagrid called over
his shoulder, just round this bend here. There was a loud 'Oooooh!'

The narrow path had opened suddenly on to 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.

"No more'n four to a boat!" Hagrid called, pointing to a fleet of little boats sitting in the water by the shore. Coventina and Aelora entered one with Anastacius following behind. Behind them was Draco, Delphina and Antares.

"Two pair of trio, made for
each other."

"Everyone in." shouted Hagrid, who had a boat to himself, "Right then - FORWARD!"And the fleet of little boats moved off all at once, gliding across the lake, which was as smooth as glass.

Everyone was silent, staring up at the great castle overhead. It towered over them as they sailed nearer and nearer to the cliff on which it stood. "Heads down!" yelled Hagrid as the first boats reached the cliff.

Many look at Hogwarts in an 'aww' expression. Hogwarts never fail to amaze them. It's beauty was ethereal.

"It's-" Aelora interrupted Coventina, "Beautiful." He said. "I was about to say normal but I guess, it's work." She shrugged.

"Are you serious?" Aelora asked her, looking dumbfounded.

"No but I am!" Sirius wave his hand up.

"We know." Half of Hogwarts shouted.

"My name is Coventina." She smirked. "Very funny." Aelora pouted, ignoring the looked Draco was giving him.

"Quiet it down." Anastacius raise
a brow toward them.

They all bent their heads and the little boats carried them through a curtain of ivy which hid a wide opening in the cliff face.

They were carried along a dark tunnel, which seemed to be taking them right underneath the castle, until they reached a kind of underground harbor, where they clambered out on to rocks and pebbles.

"Oy, you there! Is this your toad?" said Hagrid, who was checking the boats as people climbed out of them."Trevor!" cried a boy blissfully, holding out his hands.

Then they clambered up a passageway in the rock after Hagrid's lamp,
coming out at last on to 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. "Everyone here? You there, still got yer toad?" Hagrid raised a gigantic fist and knocked three times on the castle door.

"Aww! The boy is so cute!" Alice fusses over the little boy with his toad.

Frank Longbottom blushes, he look away to hide it. "She is so pretty.." He muttered.

Aelora made sure to stay in between Anastacius and Coventina while the Emerald trio followed from behind.

"So many people." Anastacius muttered annoyed. One thing
hate is people, yet he was perfect
in playing the role of the Prince charming.

Meanwhile Antares was watching over Coventina with a lovely smile
on his face, his grey eyes were shining
brightly something that Draco or Delphina have never seen before.

"So this is love.."

"Hmm hmmm."

"Is not that from the song of
a disney princess?" A Ravenclaw
asked.

"It is." Lily giggle.

"Learn what Disney is, got it!" James thought.

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

"Minnie!!"

"Boys!"

"The firs'-years, Professor McGonagall," said Hagrid.
"Thank you, Hagrid. I will take them from here." She pulled the door wide. The Entrance Hall was so big you could have fitted the whole of the Orphanage in it.

Coventina remembered the woman, she was the one who who came to
the Orphanage and who actually look happy to her.

Coventina secretly patted Aamon as the cobra was trying to take a look.

"The cobra actually funny." Remina chuckles. "Really? Do you want one?" Sirius asked.

"You would buy one for me?" She asked with a small smirk. "Anything for our Moony." Sirius says, his tone was sirious.

Remina chuckled and kisses his cheek. "Anything?" She whispers. "Anything."

"I want a whole library." She demand.

"Got it." He nod.

The stone walls were lit with flaming torches like the ones at Gringotts, the
ceiling was too high to make out, and a magnificent marble staircase facing them led to the upper floors.

They followed Professor McGonagall across the flagged stone floor. Coventina could hear the drone of hundreds of voices from a doorway to the right - the rest of the school must already be here - but Professor McGonagall showed the first-years into a small empty chamber off the hall.

They crowded in, standing rather closer together than they would usually have done, peering about nervously. "Welcome to Hogwarts," said Professor McGonagall.

"The sorting will start soon!"

"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."

'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 rule-breaking 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."

"Minnie, you need to change your speech." James says. "It will like I want
it stay." She answers. "Hmfp."

"You ate, professor!"

"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."

Her eyes lingered for a moment on Neville's cloak, which was fastened under his left ear, and on Ron Weasley's smudged nose. "I shall return when we are ready for you," said Professor McGonagall. "Please wait quietly." She left the chamber.

Arthur smiled at his younger son, he was happy to have create a family.

"The cute boy is name, Neville!" Alice smile.
