entering HOGWARTS

as the train stopped me and tonks now known as elena went our separate ways as she told me with a mysterious smile I got to get there differently for being a first year she then left

"FIRST YEARS OVER HERE FIRST YEARS" I see a giant bellowing so I run toward him

"hello" I said and at that moment blaze landed on my shoulder which earned me looks of awe by the first years

"is that a phoenix" the giant of all people asked I nodded "may I" he continued

"that's his choice not mine" I said he nodded reaching for blaze then stopped and it nodded for him to go ahead and he petted it

"I'm rubeus hagrid, would you like to come down for tea one of these days" he said looking at me with a smile and I nodded and then he realized that all of first years were waiting on him

"follow me" he said leading us to boats "no more than four to a boat I got in with hagrid and two others and we floated to Hogwarts and I gotta say a wonderful once in a lifetime experience once we got off the port we taken up some stairs and led to professor McGonagall

to which she told us we were about to be sorted she pulled me aside however

"the headmaster would like to meet you when everyone is dismissed to their common rooms" she said and I nodded and then we went back to group listened to sorting hat sing a song and then he began sorting about half way through

"jerrison, Thomas" McGonagall called I went up and sat down the hat was placed on my head

"hmm interesting you are loyal cunning courageous and wise but your brains and your courage are more powerful than your cunning and you are only loyal to those who have earned it so that leaves Gryffindor and ravenclaw which one would you decide if you had a choice" the hat said

"ravenclaw as you may not always be able to overpower your opponent but if you outsmart them it does not matter how powerful they are and strength vs intelligence the brain will win every time in fact the brain is what makes us a dominant species" I replied

"very well then that's where you'll go RAVENCLAW"

and they ravenclaw table started applauding as I went to them and sat down once that was done the headmaster gave a small speech before clapping at his clap food appeared and I started eating when we were done he gave out multiple warnings before telling us good night I watched everyone leave and saw a short professor coming towards me

"I am professor Filius Flitwick head of ravenclaw the headmaster told me he wished to see you so follow me" he said and we walked to gargoyle when it jumped aside we went up and knocked on the door and went in

"ah Mr jerrison a pleasure to meat you I wanted to congratulate you on not only become the jerrison family heir but also the black family heir I also wanted to thank you for your generosity" Dumbledore said with a bright smile

"thank you for your kind words professor" I said

"I know you won't tell us what your family spell is but would you mind telling us what it does" he asked

"all I will say on that subject is it's an enhancement charm" I said let the guess what it enhances

"fair enough well that is all I needed professor flitwick will show you to the common room

"now in order to enter the common room you have to answer a riddle and you only get one chance or you'll have to wait for someone else to let you in

"What can't talk but will reply when spoken to?" the knocker asked

"an echo" I replied and it opened and I entered after hearing professor flitwick tell me good night I than studied up on all my subjects making certain I hadn't forgotten anything before going to bed I called jerome and told him to keep my room prepared for Christmas and that I would not be needing him until I returned to black castle he nodded and I went to bed
