When (Y/N) got her letter to Hogwarts, she was extremely excited. She felt like she might finally not feel alone all the time and people might actually notice existence.

When September 1st finally came she was as ready as ever could be, she was on time and she is never on time. Vivian didn't come with her on the platform because she had to work but she said she would come next year, and that was enough for (Y/N).

Since she was a nervous wreck, she was following her brother Joshua around everywhere and he was not having it. To the extent where he opened a random compartment door and pushed her in there.

She fell onto the floor of the compartment, since he pushed her quite hard. She groaned and stood up, then she realised that she wasn't the only one in the compartment.

"Oh! Erm- hello, sorry about that." She stuttered rubbing her arm nervously.

"It's ok um- you can stay here if you like." A boy with messy red hair said, (Y/N) smiled at him and sat next to a messy raven haired boy who wore circular glasses.

"I'm Ron, Ron Weasley. Who are you?" He asked giving you a strange look.

"I'm (Y/N) McKinnon." She turned to look at the boy she was sitting next to, who seemed to be staring at her and quickly looked away when he realised she was looking at him.

"I'm erm- Harry Potter." He muttered, stumbling on his words.

"Cool, nice to meet you Harry and Ron." She beamed at them, Harry smiled and Ron grinned.

"Wait you don't know who Harry is?" Ron questioned with a curious look.

"Of course I know who he is, I just don't think he needs anymore people asking for autographs or asking to see his scar." She shrugged, Ron nodded and Harry gave her an thankful look.

They spent most of the ride chatting and eating sweets, (Y/N) found out Harry lives just two minutes away from her. Later on she decided to let out her tortoiseshell cat, called Mittens.

"Your cats weird." Ron said giving Mittens a quizzical look.

"No she's not, she just has one blue eye and one brown eye, that's not weird." She said stroking Mittens, who was sitting on Harry's lap. When (Y/N) let Mittens out of her cage, she immediately jumped right onto Harry, he smiled petting the beautiful animal.

"I thinks she's gorgeous." Harry said shifting in his seat, (Y/N) smiled at him gratefully.

"Who (Y/N) or the cat?" Ron asked completely confused. Harry flushed red at his words and suddenly took a liking to the specks dust on the window. (Y/N) just sat there and stared at Ron shocked that he would say that.

"Mittens is gorgeous but clearly Harry was talking about me." (Y/N) said making dramatic hand movements. Ron laughed at the raven haired boys flustered state, Harry just covered his face in his hands, making his friends laugh harder. Suddenly the train door opened, and a bushy haired girl stood at the door, the trio stopped laughing and gave her a confused look.

"Have any of you seen a toad, a boy called Neville lost one." (Y/N) smiled at the girl then shook her head and the bushy haired girl sighed.

"What's your name?" (Y/N) asked the girl.

"Hermione Granger."

"Nice to meet you Hermione."

"You too, you might want to get changed into your robes, we're going to arrive soon." Hermione said,  (Y/N) nodded and started grabbing her stuff.

"Oh hi Mickey, I see you've made friends, I guess I helped you after all." (Y/N) turned around to see her older brother Josh standing at the compartment door, next to an absolutely lovestruck Hermione.

"Don't call me Mickey, your surnames McKinnon too." She crossed her arms and he smirked.

"I personally think it suits you better." He grinned and she rolled her eyes, smiling a little.

"Well, I just came to check up on you, let's hope you get sorted into Ravenclaw even if your not smart enough to be one." He walked over and messed up her hair then walked back to the door and left saying "Bye Mickey."

(Y/N) told the others she was going to get changed and left. She bumped into a boy after getting changed into her robes, he had beautiful dark skin and intriguing brown eyes.

"Oops sorry." He muttered looking at the ground.

"It's fine, I'm (Y/N)." She smiled at him, he looked up from the ground and stared deeply into her eyes.

"I'm Dean." He smiled back, they talked for a little longer but (Y/N) ended the conversation feeling it was best for her not to leave her new friends waiting.

When all the kids were led to boats to cross the river, (Y/N) met a very nice and extremely tall man called Hagrid. She spent most of her time with Hermione mainly because Hermione kept on telling her things but (Y/N) didn't want to be rude so she listened. When it was finally time to get sorted a stern looking woman led them into a large hall, candles floating in the air, the beautiful night sky above them. (Y/N) looked around and saw Josh on the Ravenclaw table with a few of his friends.

The Professor then placed a hat on a stool at a front, after it sang its song, she called out names from a list she held. Hannah Abbot was the first to be sorted. Draco Malfoy who seemed to be a bully was sorted into Slytherin along with his minions Crabbe and Goyle. Dean, a Irish boy called Seamus, Neville - the boy who lost his toad - and Ron all got sorted into Gryffindor. When Harry's name was called, the sorting hat certainly took its time, he seemed to be a bit of what they call a 'hat stall' but after a few minutes he got sorted into Gryffindor.

(Y/N) didn't mind what house she got put in, they all had great traits and one wasn't better than the other. However Ravenclaw or Gryffindor would be her top choices since Josh is in Ravenclaw and her friends are now in Gryffindor. When her name was finally called she walked up to the old brown hat and placed it on her head, it slipped over her eyes a little. The sorting hat muttered things about the different houses and where it should put her. After a few long minutes of the hat muttering she had enough of it.

"Can you hurry up please, your taking longer than you did with Harry and that's a long time, I also don't want to get a disease and your not the cleanest hat." She muttered so only the hat could hear, the hat chuckled but continued to mutter.

"Ok yes, yes, I think I've come up with a decision," it said so everyone could hear. "Better be GRYFFINDOR!" The whole hall erupted with cheers from the Gryffindor table. Josh clapped politely, disappointed he's not with his sister but proud of her.

(Y/N) pulled the hat off her head and rubbed through her hair making sure nothing was in it. She smiled at her friends as she sat down but continued to rub her hair.

"You were the longest hat stall yet." A red head like Ron said.

"Your lucky I told him to hurry up or he would've taken longer," (Y/N) laughed, the boy and his twin smiled and introduced themselves as Fred and George.

Everyone was silenced again to continue the rest of the ceremony. (Y/N) was glad she was in Gryffindor knowing she was going to have a great time with her new friends.
