Hufflepuff

We've arrived at the station well because the train just stopped and everyone started to get off the train, it was already a night, and I can see a 3m tall and hairy man wearing a coat waiting there guessing it was Hagrid, when he sees the student started to get off the train he started to talking loudly.

"Attention first years come with me!" Hagrid shouted calmy.

I just followed the kids who started to gather around the Hagrid, After minutes and gathering all the students Hagrid lead us to the boats that would take us to Hogwarts since 4 people are only allowed per boat I sat down with Ron, Harry, and some kid who I don't bother to ask his name.

After a tour of the lake, Hagrid then lead us to the stairs entrance to the castle, and upon arriving a tall, stick-looking witch, a little older or the same age as my grandma, was waiting for us in front of the big door, her eyes were tied up nicely and the color is black, her eyes were green, she wore a pointed hat and green in color, and once we gather all around her staring at her she began to speak.

"Welcome everyone to Hogwarts, in a moment you will stop by to be selected...."

I listen to some parts that she said but mostly not because while she was speaking about the school I play with Fin in a small state and I didn't care much about listening. I also want to either go to Ravenclaw house or Hufflepuff it's more into magic and I already meet Harry, Ron, and Hermione there's no need to disturb the trio.

"So it's true what they say on the train Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts," Malfoy said.

"They are Crable and Goyle and I am Malfoy, Draco Malfoy," Malfoy said.

While I am busy petting Fin and talking to him seems like Malfoy and Potter started and all I could do is laugh but only in my mind as I just snorted.

"Oh, Thomas how are you, my friend?" Malfoy asked me.

I looked at Malfoy and smiled as I spell Fin bog enough as 3m as all students retreated seeing the big bird.

"Oh Fin there you are how you've been doing does Thomas treat you well?" Malfoy asked Fin as he pets him.

Although I am no friend of Malfoy he is a kid that part of my childhood we both go outside in the muggle world to go some adventure and also we talked and play in my house or his house, sometimes his father and grandma either go to there house our my house, and for Fin and Malfoy they know each other because Fin is our ride going wonder the world, so you can say Malfoy is a friend of mine he is not as rude and rebellious as the book and movies say but who knows I can only guess.

"I've been doing well Draco same as Fin here he grew fast innit?" I said as I pet Fin.

"Ah, Mr.Shelby, I do not think Hogwarts allows Animal Beast," McGonagall said as she looked at me petting Fin.

"Ah my apologies," I said as I turned Fin into small again and putting him into my small case.

McGonagall then leads us into the dining room, I can the high tables where the teacher's seats and a high chair in the middle with a hat sitting on it, while I looked around and see the artificial night sky on the ceiling as well as the hundreds of candles floating our overheads, and a crowd of students sitting at their tables in much of the dining room.

Then an old man with hair and a white long beard goes upfront guessing it was Dumbledore.

"First of all, I would like to say a few words, a new student must remember that you cannot enter the forbidden forest under any circumstances, and our warden Mr.Flich asked me to remind you all that the right hall on the third floor is prohibited. for all those who do not want to suffer a terrifying death, thank you," Dumbledore said going back to his seat at the teacher's table.

"When I say your name, they will come closer, I will put the sorting hat on them and they will know what your house is," teacher McGonagall said.

.....

"Hermione Granger," McGonagall.

"Gryffindor!!!" The sorting hat shouted.

"Draco Malfoy," McGonagall.

"Slytherin!!!"

"Ronald Weasley," McGonagall.

"Gryffindor!!!!"

"Harry Potter," McGonagall.

"Gryffindor!!!!!"

"Thomas Shelby," McGonagall.

"Hmm.. certainly not Gryffindor nor Slytherin, even I cannot read your mind, whenever I read it bounce back it's like glass, same as your father hard to read his mind, young Shelby let me see your qualities to choose in which house I should put you," The sorting hat said.

And after minutes of just the talking of the sorting hat deciding what house should he put me in, it's so long that some kids started to their classmates.

"Hufflepuff!!!!!!"

I then walked over to the cheering table which is Hufflepuff's house, and I seat at the table as other students. I can see Ron and Harry looking at seems like there disappointed not going to Gryffindor well same as me although I did not come here to become his babysitter I came here to learn, watch the cannon and help when I can that's the only thing I could.

.....

After the sorting was over and everyone is appointed to their own houses, Professor Dumbledore introduce all this year's teachers and said a few more words, after which the banquet officially began, causing all tables to be filled with plates after plates of different foods.
