Sirius Orion Black-

The Hogwarts Express lurches to a halt after what feels like a lifetime. I catch sight of the legendary castle looming in the distance, its towering presence both awe-inspiring and slightly intimidating. 255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvY9HJbnjW

A tall giant, who goes by the name-Rubeus Hagrid is hollering and ushering us into carriages. I am shoved into a carriage with James and another boy named Remus Lupin. The sound of students chattering and the occasional hoot of an owl fills the air as the carriage begins to move.
I introduce myself to Remus and strike up a conversation with both him and James. Remus Lupin is a kind and intelligent boy, with a calm demeanor that instantly puts me at ease.
As the carriage rumbles along the path leading to Hogwarts, we exchange stories and discuss our expectations for the upcoming school year. James, who seems to be full of mischief and energy, shares his excitement about joining the Quidditch team and causing a bit of trouble. Remus, on the other hand, expresses his eagerness to delve into the magical curriculum and explore the vast library at Hogwarts.
The ride is both thrilling and breathtaking, as I catch glimpses of the enchanting landscape outside. The towering trees, the shimmering lake, and the occasional glimpse of magical creatures all contribute to the magical atmosphere surrounding Hogwarts. Eventually, the carriage comes to a stop, signaling our arrival at the school.
I step out of the carriage and make your way toward the entrance of Hogwarts Castle. The beginning of my magical journey is about to unfold, and the castle's grand doors await our arrival.
Still in a state of awestruck wonder after the brief voyage, the group of first years starts filling into the Great Hall. The enchanted ceiling of the Hall is adorned with countless floating candles, casting a warm and flickering light that dances across the room. It's as if the stars themselves have descended to illuminate the students' path.
I've always longed to attend Hogwarts, even when I barely understood what it was about and that's all that mattered to me.
Suddenly, the chatter dissipates as the doors at the end of the Great Hall swing open, and Professor McGonagall, the Deputy Headmistress, strides in with a long parchment in hand.
''When I call your name , you will come forward and put the hat on to be sorted into a house'-announces the Professor. There's a brown hat on a stool-known as the Sorting Hat.
A rush of adrenaline courses through my veins. I swear if the hat tries to place me in Slytherin- I'm gonna burn it. There's no way in hell I will be put there.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nV1vzQT1G

One by one, the professor calls out the name of the students and we watch them getting sorted into their houses. James and Remus- both get sorted into Gryffindor. 255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaorTK98chC

I recognize the girl from the train. When the hat is placed on her head, it shouts-'Ravenclaw' in the blink of an eye. 255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOWZReo3FA

I leap up onto the platform confidently and take a seat on the stool. The Professor places the hat upon my head and suddenly..I hear a voice echoing in my mind-
'Hmm....a Black but a rebel- You dare to refuse the house of Salazar, boy? '255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOXzaccVBq

'Gryffindor!-' shouts the hat.
Yes, yes, yes!!255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQSop3rKns
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6J3ub5RQO
I practically bounce off the stool. There is a stunned silence on the Slytherin table but slowly a round of applause and cheering blooms from the table lined with red and gold. James is grinning from ear to ear and so am I as I take my place on the table- the place where I really belonged.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVHpEclU5Y

'Good job, mate'-James thumps me on the back. ' By the way, did that hat talked to you?''255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCty7CrDmjz

As the Sorting Ceremony nears its end, I observe the redhead girl, Lily, being sorted into Gryffindor. Her fiery hair and the determination in her eyes seem to perfectly align with Gryffindor.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBa7MLelRJ

Snivellus gets into Slytherin. Well, No surprises there.
Now, it is time for the other Shafiq sister, Ahava. To be honest, she's very pretty- with brown eyes and brown hair. I recall my encounter with her on the train and how her thoughts on Slytherin left me somewhat irritated. I hope she's not gonna end up with that slime.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYfdrDl03k

I watch keenly as she walks to the stool. She holds her head high but I notice the way her hands are shaking. The hat is taking its time with her. And at last it declares-
"Slytherin".255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqODsbTViT
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNu2ZYpJL9
I am appalled at once . Beneath a pleasant exterior she may be adept at concealing a potentially harmful nature .255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGwDKrDlKQ
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3NJtzyO6o
She appears to be shocked as she slowly gets up from the stool and walks to the Slytherin table where Snivellus gives her a high-five.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mkjs8RGG2
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN0TLAC2CN
When our eyes meet, I glare at her- to which she just flinches and averts her eyes .

The Great Hall erupts into cheers and applause as Headmaster Dumbledore concludes his welcoming speech. Finally the long-awaited feast is about to commence.
With a wave of Dumbledore's hand, the plates and goblets are filled with mouthwatering food and drink. The sight is truly a feast for the eyes. The students, hungry after the eventful day, eagerly reach for the delectable treats before them.
As I join in the merriment, laughter and conversation fill the hall. The sense of community and excitement envelops me, as I realize that I am now part of this magical world, surrounded by friends, fellow students, and the incredible wonders of Hogwarts. With each bite and sip, I relish in the flavors and the company around you.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkv0zTRqyO

As I lie in bed, unable to find sleep, the soft snores of my dorm-mates filling the air, restlessness takes hold.
I get up and drink some water, looking out of the window for a while. 255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvGI8TDrGj

Despite the lingering worry of receiving a howler from my parents, I make a conscious effort not to let it consume me. My path at Hogwarts is my own, it's no the expectations or desires of my family.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PhAth4hr8
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIMYLHVeZM
I am here to forge my own identity and be true to myself , even if it means diverging from the path set by my parents.
