[It is nighttime at Hogsmeade station, the train blows its whistle and pulls into outside the station. Hagrid walks along the side aisle, with a lantern. People, in their robes, begin pouring out of the train.]
Hagrid: Right, then! First years! This way, please! Come on, now, don't be shy! Come on now, hurry up!
[Hazel and Ron, now in their robes, walk up to Hagrid.]

"Look at you all fancy in your robes," James says excited.

Hagrid: Hello, Hazel.
Hazel: Hey, Hagrid.
Ron: Whoaa!

Everyone laughs at Ron's reaction and his face is just as red as his hair again as he tries to hide in his seat.

Hagrid: Right then. This way to the boats! Come on, now, follow me.
[Later, a large number of boats are plugging across a vast lake, where up ahead a huge castle, known as the Hogwarts Castle, can be seen. People are in awe.]

Everyone, including the purebloods, smile remembering their first time going into Hogwarts. It was such an amazing experience for everyone and no one wanted to forget it.

Ron: Wicked.

"He's going to be saying that a lot isn't he," Alice says shaking her head.

[They continue on further towards the castle. Later on, the first year students walk in the castle, and up the staircase. As the camera pans, we see on a higher level, Professor McGonagall is waiting. She taps her fingers on a stone railing, and then goes to the top of the stairs to greet the newcomers.]

"MINNIE!!" James, Sirius, and Remus all shout.
"Mr. Potter, Mr. Black, Mr. Lupin how many times have I told you to not call me that," McGonagall says a smile threatening to break out on her face.

McGonagall: Welcome to Hogwarts. Now, in a few moments, you will pass through these doors and join your classmates. But before you can take your seats, you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Now while you're here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you house points. Any rule breaking, and you will lose points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup.

Each house cheers when they are mentioned, well except for Slytherin who politely clapped.
"You haven't changed your speech ever because that's the same one I heard," A 7th year Ravenclaw says.
"Why change something that doesn't need to be changed?" McGonagall says in reply

[A scared looking boy called Neville Longbottom, spots his toad sitting near McGonagall. He jumps forward.]
Neville: Trevor! [he catches his toad; McGonagall stares down at him as some of the students laugh] Sorry. [He backs away, embarrassed.]

"Awwww look at baby Neville!" Hazel shouts smiling brightly at someone she thinks of as a brother.

McGonagall: The sorting ceremony will begin momentarily. [she leaves to go into the Great Hall]

"Oh no..." Draco mutters knowing what is going to happen. His mother turns and looks at him wondering what was going to happen next as she heard his comment.

[A young evil looking boy, with short blonde hair, called Draco Malfoy, speaks up.]
Draco: It's true then, what they're saying on the train. Hazel Potter has come to Hogwarts. [some of the students are heard whispering, "Hazel Potter?" Draco introduces his two friends.]

"Shout it out for everyone to hear you bleached ferret," Sirius growls out.
"Im not a bleached ferret," Draco whines

Draco: This is Crabbe and Goyle. And I'm Malfoy...Draco Malfoy. [Ron snickers at his name] Think my name's funny, do you? No need to ask yours. Red hair, and a hand-me-down robe? You must be a Weasley. Well, soon find that some wizarding families are better than others, Potter. Don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there. [extends his hand to Hazel.]

Molly looks down at the fact that they can't afford to be able to buy new robes for Ron, and that he was already getting bullied about it.

Hazel: [not going to take Draco's arrogance] I think I can tell who the wrong sort are for myself, thanks.

Everyone starts laughing while Draco just pouts.
"Best response!" Sirius and James laugh out making Hazel smirk.

[Draco glares. McGonagall returns and taps Draco on the shoulder with a paper. He leaves Hazel with one last glare.]
McGonagall: We're ready for you now. Follow me.

"Oooo yay the sorting!" Some Gryffindors shout.
