Fourth entry, hope you enjoy it! Rose Weasley
The boats pulled up onto the Shore of Hogwarts School. Albus climbed out and helped Rose out of the boat. “Alright first years, follow me to the castle” a giant pointed to the towering grey building that looked magnificent. Rose, drunk the giant in his hairy beard and his big brown eyes were his kindest features. When he smiled his white teeth shined through his dark beard. His chunky hands were the size of Rose's head and yet they looked soft and gentle. The stained-glass windows showing the four founders of Hogwarts were engraved on the glass. “Beautiful isn’t it?” Rose looked around and stared at Romeo’s face. She smiled and looked back up to the castle “I think it’s marvellous!”
“Weasley! Come on, 'can’t be having you lost before ya even in a house now can we?” Rose looked towards the giant and nodded. She picked up her feet and marched over to Albus who was talking to Nigel. The giant named Hagrid lead them up the stairs towards the grand entrance door of Hogwarts. Rose thought Hagrid must have been quite old as his brown hair was partly turning grey now and he had so many lines on his face. Albus looked up into the darkened sky and began to count how many stars were coming out. Rose climbed up the steps, taking in all the scenery of the large lake in the distance and how it glistened with the moon on the surface of the water; trees lingered around the lake and occasionally, Rose saw a shore line. She wondered how her mum and dad had felt while looking upon the view. She thought her dad probably hadn't shown any interest in the view for the first time and concentrated more on being in Gryffindor. But she knew her mum would have loved to see this again, as the last time she probably saw it, it was destroyed and hardy standing. “Rose, we didn’t even discus house teams, on the train! do you think I will be in Slytherin?” Albus drew Rose out of her thoughts. She looked at her cousin and she knew how James could bully his younger brother into thinking that Slytherin would be the worst thing ever.
She wouldn’t be surprised if James said that Uncle Harry and Aunty Ginny would disown him if he was in Slytherin. “Albus you just have to remember what your dad said” Rose smiled as she stepped through the doors and onto stone floor. Warmth flooded her system and she felt peaceful and happy. Albus’ face lit up as he looked at the chandeliers and the stone steps and the basins that held fire in them. He seemed too amazed to even hear or respond to what Rose had just said. Rose was looking at her cousin as his eyes explored everything they could see. A small smile cracked onto her lips as she decided to explore as well. But neither of them had set eyes on a lad with bleach blonde hair and a distinguished pointed chin. His ice blue eyes were set on Rose, with a tinge of light in them. Slowly his lips curved up.
“Right first years” everyone’s head craned up to the top of the stairs where a man with blonde hair and a strong looking face smiled down at them all as if he was remembering a long lost memory. “Please come to the top of the stairs and do not adventure any further” Everyone filled the steps as quickly as they could. Rose and Albus climbed their way to the top. They looked into the man’s eyes and they both smiled at the same time. The teacher bent down to them whispering at a level only they can hear. “Good luck you two” He smiled and stood up straight. “Right, all of you will enter through those doors” he pointed a hand towards the huge golden door. Rose’s eyes lit up they looked beautiful to her. “...Where you will gather at the front and wait for your name to be called out...” The teacher continued “you will them stand at the front and have a hat placed on your head. The hat will call out your house and you go and sit down at that table” Everyone began to mutter to each other as if the very thought of standing up in front of everyone was the most terrifying things ever to be done. “You may feel nervous but there’s nothing wrong with that, I am very sure your house will welcome you as family” the teacher looked down at Rose and Albus and winked. There was a light tap on the door and the teacher’s smiled melted off his face and he suddenly looked natural, with his lips forming a perfect line.
The door opened a crack and Ted popped his head around the door “Professor Longbottom, they're ready for them” Rose peered behind Professor Longbottom and looked at Ted who gave her a sweet smile; she noticed that his eyes had changed to a brilliant luminous green. Professor Longbottom looked around and nodded politely while trying to keep a kind smile off his face. “I would like complete silence from you all … if possible” He smiled. Albus knew Neville would always struggle being strict he just didn’t have it in him.
The doors swung open and Neville spun on his heels and began to walk to the front. Everyone stumbled to keep up with him. Rose felt every single eye on her and all the other first years. She kept her bright brown eyes ahead focusing on Neville’s hair. But her something sparkled in her eyes and she looked up to the ceiling and she gazed upon the starry sky and was amazed by how the candles stayed hovering in the sky.
