Part 3

"Now, before we begin, Professor Dumbledore would like to say a few word" - Professor McGonagall

We all stay silent and professor Dumbledore stand up from his seat and started to tell us something important

"Now, I have a few start-of-term notices that I wish to announce, first years please be note that going in the Dark Forest is strictly forbidden to all students" - Professor Dumbledore

Professor Dumbledore continues, but in other hand I was lost in my thoughts that I didn't catch up what Professor Dumbledore said, until he said "Thank You". I immediately snap out from reality.

"when I call your names, please step forward" - Professor McGonagall

Professor McGonagall started to call the names of the First Year, and then again, I was lost in thoughts thinking about the Dark forests and why is it forbidden going there.... I hear someone calling my name

"Christina Smith!" - Professor McGonagall

But I didn't hear her because I was still lost in my thoughts, until someone tap my shoulders and whisper to me

"Pssst! Tina, Professor McGonagall calls your name!" - Rowan

I immediately snap out back to reality when Rowan said. Everyone is looking at me in confusion, suddenly the students start to whispering

"Christina Smith? Is she James's little sister?" - Student in Ravenclaw

"You mean James Smith? The Fourth Year from Gryffindor? I heard he break the rule and decided to run away, and he disappeared"- Student in Hufflepuff

"How dare she come here, I'm sure she'll be just like her brother. I hope the sorting hat won't put her here in Slytherin, it will be shame if she's here" - Student in Slytherin

"She doesn't belong here" - Student in Gryffindor

That's right I remember, 4 years ago my brother James received a letter from the Hogwarts, he tell this to our mom and me. I saw how happy he is because he was dreaming to go here. And when he started learning from the Hogwarts I thought everything will be fine. But, one night, someone come to us saying "Your Son, James Smith is missing. he suddenly disappeared after he broke the rules and run away. We can't find him, we assume that his here since your his family" I can't believe my ears, my brother was learning in Hogwarts for four years and he broke the rules?

That time I wasn't believed that he broke the rules and he run away then disappeared. I was believed myself that he did that for a reason and his disappearance too.... I can still hear them whispering I look down in Embarrassment. "I don't belong here" was in my head....

"Silent!" - Professor McGonagall

All of them stop whispering after professor McGonagall shut them up, then she looks at me and said

"Please step forward Ms. Smith, so I can place the sorting hat in your head" - Professor McGonagall

I obey her, I step forward. She put the sorting hat in my head.

"Now, let's see... Hmm... Okay.... So you come here for a reason? .... Alright... Okay.... Gryffindor!!!" - Sorting Hat

And it's so obvious that the Gryffindor hate what they hear, I can't blame them but I just can't believe that they Judge me so quickly just because of my brother who broke the rules in Hogwarts. I stand up and go to the Gryffindor and sit down. As I watch the others sorted their house, and of course my friend Rowan is also Gryffindor she sit in front of me with a big smile on her face.

"Wow! I can't believe I'm with you! In the same house! *smiling bright*" - Rowan

"Me too Rowan, I'm happy that your here" - Christina

"Harry Potter!" - Professor McGonagall

Everyone went silent again, as they watch Harry step forward and Professor McGonagall Place that Sorting Hat on his head. we all waiting, and finally the sorting hat shouted "Gryffindor!" Everyone Clamped and welcomed Harry to the Gryffindor.

the ceremony end well, We're already in our representative house, there are two rooms in each houses. One Room for Boys and One Room for Girls, After the Ceremony the night was tiring and we need to sleep early for our first Day tomorrow. I change my clothes to night gown, I go to my bed sitting in the edge as I watch my roommate Laughing Happily. Rowan saw me, and she sit beside me, and of course like others in the room we were chatting, but while happily Chatting with Rowan, a girl suddenly interrupt us.

"So, your James's little sister? Why are you here in Hogwarts? Are You here to break the rule just like your brother? Or run away and disappear just like him?, I mean you don't belong here just like him" - Girl

She said while crossing her arm, Rowan was about to talk to defend me but I stop her and look around us. Everyone was looking at us, some of them were whispering, their eyes we're glaring at me as if I did something wrong, others looked at me with their disgust look. And I turn my head to look at the girl's face

"If you don't mind, you should mind your own business, and yes I'm his sister. But that doesn't mean I'll be just like him and I come here for reason" - Christiana

The girl was about to open her mouth but another voice come to interact.

"She is right though, if I were you just mind your own business and focus for our first day tomorrow, not her brother" - Unknown Girl

"Who are you?" - Girl

"My Name is Hermione Granger, now if you please go back to your friends to have chit chat, I would like to speak to Christina" - Hermione

"Whatever" - Girl

The girl rolls her eyes before walking away from us, the girls started to chatting back to their friends again.

"Tina, why didn't you let me defend you earlier. She should know her place! " - Rowan

"It's okay Rowan, the reason why I didn't let you defend me is, I don't want you to get in trouble because of me. It's better if they bother me instead" - Christina

"So Your Christina Smith the rumor of James's little Sister. I usually heard about you going here in Hogwarts as First Year" - Hermione

"Ummm, I'm I that famous? Because everyone is literally talk about me even though they don't know me"- Christina

"well, your James's little Sister. Everyone is talking about him how he break the rules, and worse of all is he run away and never see him again. It's like he disappeared like a thin air" - Hermione

"Well, my brother NEVER breaks the rules of Hogwarts, unless he has a reason why" - Christina

"That's right, Tina's brother must have a reason why he break the rules and run away then Suddenly Disappeared, so stop judging them just because of her brother's mistakes!" - Rowan

"I know that, and I'm not here to judge Christina. In fact I want to ask if she like to be my friend?" - Hermione

"You want to be friend with me???" - Christina

"Yeah, if you want" - Hermione

I looked at Rowan but she just shrug, and I look back at Harmony with a kind warm smile on my face

"Of course, I'd love to be friends with you Harmony" - Christina

"Great! And also your not the only one that every Hogwarts talk about, even Harry Potter too. You and Him are famous in Hogwarts, they are always talk about you. "The two first year Harry Potter and Christina Smith is now in Hogwarts" you have no idea how famous both you are"- Hermione

"Wow! I envy you tina, even draco notice your appearance, the moment they announced your name. Girl your so lucky! I wish I would be like you!" - Rowan

"Oh Rowan, you don't know what it feels like to be famous especially here in Hogwarts, and also I did not come here to be famous Rowan. I come here to learn some spells that could help me in the future" - Christina

I said while smiling at both of them, while chatting for a few moments. All of us went straight to bed, we said our goodnight to each other and we immediately deep in sleep.
