~?The Chosen Ones?~

The boats stopped at a dock right in front of the giant school that looked like a fairy-tale castle. Well it's ironic, Iris thought with amusement plastered on her face, that wizards are fairy-tales.

"Come-on!" Zoey shouted, pulling Iris and Pansy along behind the group of other first year students.

"Alright! Alright!" Pansy yelped from the surprise of being pushed by their best friend, "We're moving!"

Iris, Zoey, Pansy, Harry, Ron and the other students followed Hagrid as they made their way up the castle stairs. They had suddenly stopped at the top of the stairs, Harry, Iris, Zoey, Pansy and Ron were all at the front of the large group.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," The old woman at the top of the staircase said, looking down upon the young children. "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."

The woman pulled out her wand and made movements that made the lion, badger, eagle and snake. "-They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Now while you're here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you 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."

"Trevor!" A boy with a round face burst out of the crowd and toward a toad that was sitting next to the old woman- who was staring down at with an expression Iris couldn't quite grasp.

"Sorry," The boy mumbled before backing away into the crowd.

"The sorting-ceremony will begin soon," The woman said before going into the doors in front of them.

"Who's that?" Iris asked Pansy and Zoey.

"Oh! Yes I keep forgetting you wouldn't know much about here..." Pansy exclaimed, "That's Professor Mcgonagal, my mum says Mcgonagal doesn't like us Slytherins." Iris nodded before she heard a voice say-

"It's true then," Iris heard the voice say from next to the railing, "The Potter twins have come to Hogwarts."

Iris could hear some of the people behind them whispering, "The Potter twins!?! Here, at Hogwarts!?!"

"This is Crabbe," He pointed toward the two boys who looked as if they were body-guards, "-And Goyle, and I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." Iris heard Ron make something that was almost like a cough, but she knew it was a bad covering for a snicker.

The boy rounded on Ron, "Think my name's funny, do you? Well no need to ask for yours, red hair and hand-me-down robes– You must be a Weasley." Draco turned away from Ron and back to Harry and Iris. "You'll soon find that some wizarding families are better than others, Potter. You don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there."

Draco extended his hand toward Harry, who glared at him "I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself thanks." He replied sassily.

The platinum-haired blond turned to Iris, his pale hand still extended, "Well," Iris said, staring into the boy's silver eyes." As much as your offer sounds nice... I don't want to be friends with a bitch."

Harry, Ron and Zoey snickered whilst Draco glared daggers at Iris, their eyes still locked on each-others, Iris still smirking slightly. He took his hand back and opened his mouth to give a sharp retort but was interrupted by the old lady coming back and tapping him on the shoulder.

"We're ready for you now. Follow me." She said as she turned her back to the group and walked toward the door, opening it to reveal a hall filled with hundreds of people, all of them staring at the group of first-years.
