The Sorting of James Potter

James, Fred, and Ali had all walked to the boats nervously. Sure, the outcome of the sorting didn't exactly matter for Ali, but she was still nervous. Who wouldn't be? Certainly, it'd be a miracle if just one person wasn't.

James had pressure on him- his parents were Gryffindors, and his father was the chosen one. He had a lot to live up to, really.

Fred had a lot of pressure on him as well- his father and mother both ow ed Weasley's Wizard Wheezes- a joke shop. His mother also had a lightning bolt scar on her hand that changed everything about her life years ago.

Not to mention he had a seventeen year old sister, who was Head Girl (she was suprisingly well behaved in the teachers eyes...), and another older sister that was fourteen and was known as the Queen of Pranks as well as her best friend, Frank Longbottom.

The two had tons of pressure, so to say.

Ali was lucky in they're minds, she had no pressure on them.

But, really, she did- Ali was expected to get good grades just like her great grandmother, Alice Taylor, had.

Yes, yes, her grandmother was the woman who created the potion, "The Draught of the Living Death."

The three kids all had pressure on they're backs, each unknown to the other.

They had soon hopped off the boats that they quickly took to the castle.

They were treated by a man that was a normal sized man, brown hair, and brown eyes. He had a smile on his face as he saw James and Fred.

The two recognized the man; he was Professor Neville Longbottom. He was the head of Gryffindor house, and the Herbology teacher, and also Adele's friend Frank's father. He was a very nice man over all.

"Hello! I'm Professor Longbottom, and I am the head of Gryffindor house, and I'm the Herbology teacher!"

Neville explained about the houses and everything- decreasing and increasing points. He told the group of first wears that he'd be back mommentarily.

The first years could head murmurs of excitment racing through the walls- the rest of the school was already in there?

Fred and James both nk new what was coming. Ali, however didn't.

The doors to the Great Hall then opened to the small first years.
