As Hagrid gets out of the boat himself, the weight of his foot is lifted off your prone body. You see light for the first time since he got onto the boat, and breathe fresh air too. While you still heavily stink of feet, it's nothing a good few baths can't fix. You get out of the boat yourself and onto Hogwarts land. You stare in awe at the magnificent castle that the greatest wizards used to inhabit, unaware that the school was going to be the worst years of your life.
You see that the other students are almost at the sorting area, and quickly run to catch up. You soon get there, still panting from running. It seems you came just as the sorting started. "Abott Hannah" Professor McGonagal, the well-known Transfiguration teacher called. Realizing that the names were going by last name alphabetical order, you figured you had some time to look for Ron and Neville, and explain to them why you went missing for a while.
Wandering around for a while, you notice that people grimaced every time you walked by them. The smell of cheesy feet was probably stronger than you thought, you hope it doesn't affect any possible friendships. Eventually you found Ron and Neville, they were talking about quidditch you think. You realize that while standing up, your head is just below Neville's shoulders, and right at Ron's. Clearing your thoughts of this, you go up to them and say, "Hey guys sorry I went missing I —". You stopped because they seemed to have not heard you and just kept talking. Since this happened last time, you thought that maybe they were really into their conversation, so you try a different method to get their attention. You tap Ron's arm. However, despite this, they still ignore your presence. You now shake Ron's arm, intent on getting their attention. This finally seems to work as Ron stops talking and starts looking around, but you were so short, that he just kept looking over you, and didn't see you. "I could have sworn that someone was tapping my arm" Ron said perplexed. Just before they could go back to their conversation, you shouted "down here!" His eyes flickered down when you said that and you caught his gaze. You breathe a sigh of relief, amazed at how much effort it took to get one person's attention. "Ron! Neville!" You shout, happy to talk to them again. They both look at you then look at each other, then back at you with confused faces and then say, "Who are you again?" Neville says. Your happy expression leaves your face, "I'm that guy that was in the train compartment with you," they still looked confused, "I held your socks as you guys put your feet on me to sleep comfortably" you said. Realization came to their faces when you said that, "Oohhh I remember now, sorry mate, I guess Ron and I are pretty forgetful" Neville said sheepishly. Not wanting to make your new friends feel guilty you say, "It's fine, it happens to everyone." Suddenly "Longbottom Neville" was called to be sorted. Ron and you waited to see which house he got put in. "Gryffindor!" The hat bellowed after a few seconds of being on Neville's head. Ron and You cheer, happy for your friend. Ron then looks and you and says "I hope our feet didn't bother you too much, I know the stench can sometimes be overwhelming" he said while laughing. However, before You could respond, a voice sneered mischievously "I'm sure the smell wasn't too bad for him". It was Draco Malfoy. He looked at you the same way as before, like you were scum. You cower when you see him, remembering the torture he put you through. Suddenly...
