Faith was boarding the train to Hogwarts and even though she and Hermione got on together she wanted to be away from her twin. Their parents didn't know this but Faith didn't really like Hermione, they were sisters yes but Faith was Hermione's shadow.

Faith found a compartment that had four girls and one boy in it.

"Hi. I'm Faith Granger. You can call me Fai if you want. Can I sit with you guys?" Faith asked.

"Katherine Patterson but you can call me Kate. Sure you can come in." Kate said making Faith smile.

Kate was a girl with waist length wavy blonde hair and had striking blue eyes

Faith sat down next to the only boy who sat between Kate and the door.

"I'm Nathaniel Peterson, Kate's twin. You can call me Nate.

Kate was a boy with short blonde hair and blue eyes that were slightly darker than Kate's.

"I'm Kelcie Fox." Kelcie said with a bright smile.

Kelcie was a girl who had waist length straight brown hair and dark chocolate brown eyes.

"I'm Rebecca Black. But call me Becca." Becca stated with a small smile.

Becca had mid-back length wavy chocolate mahogany hair and light brown eyes.

"And I'm Alexis Marshall. Everyone calls me Alex though.

Alex had mid-back length dark brown hair and piercing blue eyes.

"Nice to meet you all." She said after putting her clothing case above her seat and then sitting down.

Faith, Kate, Nate, Kelcie, Becca, and Alex spent half of the time getting to know each other and becoming friends. Once they were half-way through their train ride the trolly came and they got some snacks.

"What house do you guys hope go get into?" Becca asked.

"It didn't matter. Besides we Will still be friends." Faith stated making them smile and agree with her.

Not long after that their compartment door opened. Hermione stepped threw.
She spoke after getting over her shock of seeing Faith smiling with strangers.

"Have any of you seen a toad named Trevor? A boy named Neville lost him."

"Nope./ Sorry./ No./ I don't think so./ Can't say that I have./ Sorry Mione we haven't." Was said at the same time.

Hermione sighed before leaving. The others looked at Faith with raised eyebrows.

"You know her?" They all asked at the same time.

"She's my younger twin sister."

They were getting off the train.

"Firs' years, firs' years follow me." A giant called.

"Hagrid." A boy with glasses, bright green eyes, and black hair called from beside Faith.

"'Ello Harry." The giant stated before returning to calling the first years.

"You know him?" Faith asked as she was waiting for the others to gather around.

Harry rubbed the back of his neck uncertainly.

"Yeah." He said making Faith smile.

"I'm Faith Granger but you can call me Fai if you want." She said as she stuck her hand out for a handshake.

"Harry Potter." Harry said shaking her hand.

"We're going to be great friends Ary (pronounced Ari)." Faith said with a wink making him laugh.

"Seems like it, Fai." Harry said making Faith smile brightly.

That's when all the first years gathered around them.

"Five to a boat." Hagrid said.

"See you later Ary." Faith said before walking off towards another boat that held two over-wight kids and a snobbish looking platinum blonde.

She got in which made the blonde glare at her. She scoffed at the glare as she sat down. "All the other boats are leaving and I'm not swimming." She stated before looking at the castle.

The blonde just stared at her wide eyes as their boat starred moving. She wasn't afraid of him which means she didn't know who he was. That means that she's a muggle-born which made him scowl.

Soon they made it to the castle and Faith, Nate, Kate, Kelcie, Becca, and Alex all meet up again. They all made their way up the stairs before they were stopped in front a duel ceiling to floor grand doors.

"I am one of Professors. Professor McGonagall. I will go in first to make sure that everything is set..." The Professor started to say before she was interrupted.

"Trevor!" Neville called out before he grabbed his toad which was near the now glaring Professor.

"...and then come back out to get you so that you can be sorted into your houses. The houses are: Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, and Slytherin." The Professor said before she went in the doors and all the eleven year olds started chatting amongst themselves.

The blonde who glared at Faith walked up to the top step and said. "I hear Harry Potter is attending this year."

Murmurs started throughout the eleven year old crowd.

"Yeah what of it." A kid with red hair called from beside Harry.

The red head was ignored as the blonde walked right in front of Harry. This made Faith make her way to stand on the other side of Harry.

"I'm Draco. Draco Malfoy." Draco said while holding his hand out for a shake. The red head snickered making Draco glare at him. "You think my names funny do you?" He asked before he got a better look at the red head. "Red hair and hand-me-down clothes. You must be a Weasley." He said making the red head pick at his clothes slightly. Draco the glared at Faith before turning his attention to Harry and stating. "I'll make better a friend than a mudblood and this traitor."

There were gasps in the crowd.

"Well being friends with a mudblood and a traitor are far better than being friends with a snobbish prat who has everything handed to him. I think that Harry can pick out his own friends. He doesn't need daddy to pick them out for him." Faith stated with a small smirk making everyone look at her in shock.

Draco couldn't even day anything back because Professor McGonagall came back. Harry looked at Faith in awe before giving a small smile in thanks. Faith grinned at him brightly.

"Come along everything is ready for the sorting." Professor McGonagall stated before the giant doors opened entrancing the eleven year olds.

They walked into the open doors and saw that the Great Hall was lot with thousands and thousands of candles that were floating above four long tables. That's where all the other students sat staring at the first years. The tables were lined with glittering gold plates and goblets. At the back of the Hall in front of a giant window was another long table which is where the Professors were sitting. The first years, led by Professor McGonagall, up in front of the Professor's table before they turned to face the rest of the student body.

Faith and Harry looked up at the ceiling to see that it was velvety black and dotted with stars.

"Its bewitched to look like the sky outside. I read about it in Hogwarts, A History." Hermione said in awe.

Faith rolled her eyes before hearing the clunk of a stool being sat on the ground in front of her. She watched as Professor McGonagall placed a old pointed witches hat on the stool.

The hall was in complete silence as everyone stared at the hat before it started to sing:

'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 Gryffindor apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
A d unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you"he 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 erupted in applause once the hat finished it's song before the hat bowed to each of the four tables in front of it.

Professor McGonagall stepped from bedsides the Sorting hat with a long roll of parchment and said. "When I call your name, you will sit on the stool, put on the hat, and be sorted into your house." She gave a pause before calling out a name. "Abbott, Hannah!"

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

"Black, Rebecca!"

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

"Faith cheered with the Hufflepuffs.

"Bones, Susan!"

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

"Boot, Terry!"

"RAVENCLAW!"

"Brocklehurst, Mandy!"

"RAVENCLAW!"

"Brown, Lavender!"

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Bulstrode, Millicent"

"SLYTHERIN!"

"Finch-Fletchley, Justin!"

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

"Finnegan, Seamus!"

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Fox, Kelcie!"

"SLYTHERIN!"

This made Faith clap for her.

"Granger, Hermione!"

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Granger, Faith!"

"Hum. Difficult you are. You seem to fit into all the house but your drive to show what you're worth is strong." The hat said in her mind.

'That's what happens when you get put into your younger twins shadow.' Faith though to the hat slightly bitter.

"SLYTHERIN!"

This made Faith smile before looking at Hermione. Her sister was staring at her horrified and disappointed. Faith just sighed and went to the Slytherin table, where she was getting some odd looks.

"Longbottom, Neville!"

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Crabbe and Goyle were sorted into Slytherin.

"Malfoy, Draco!"

"SLYTHERIN!"

Faith groaned at this making Kelcie giggle at her.

"Marshall, Alexis!"

"RAVENCLAW!"

Faith and Kelcie cheered making the other Slytherins glare at them. Kelcie looked down slightly but Faith ignored them.

"Peterson, Nathaniel!"

"SLYTHERIN!"

The whole Slytherin table cheered.

"Peterson, Katherine!"

"RAVENCLAW!"

Nate, Faith, and Kelcie all cheered making her smile.

The Sorting continued until it finally came to the last person.

"Potter, Harry!"

That made the murmurs start up again which made Faith roll her eyes.

"GRYFFINDOR!" The hat finally shouted after awhile.

"Whoo, go Harry!" Harry could hear Faith's call over the Gryffindor's cheers which made him smile. He knew now at least they were still going to be friends.

The Slytherins were really glaring at her now which made her stand up and snap. "Oh get over it your not the ones talking to him. Or maybe that's why your glaring." She said with her own glare making her piercing blue eyes look like ice making them shiver.

Once she saw this she sat down with a nod just as the food appeared on the table.
