Part 3 - Nymphadora's point of View
I’m awake. My eyes are still closed. I don’t want people to know that I’m up. I feel the train going slower. And someone’s who is touching my right cheek.
Someone: Wake up Dora…
Me: *still my eyes closed* I’m up.
Someone: Open your eyes and stand up, then you’ll be awake.
Me: *still my eyes closed* I’m awake. It’s just that I really don’t want to leave my sit. I’m too comfy right now to leave where I am.
Someone: Okay… I think you need to know what happens to who your resist to us
Me: What do you mean?
Someone: Open your eyes Missy.
Me: I already said that I won’t. Not until the train has completely stopped.
Someone: Alright!! Come here!!
And then, I open my eyes wide and I start screaming for some help. Fred has carrying me on his shoulder and my head was hanging by his back. And he started walking to the horses who will lead us to the castle I guess.
Me: Fred!! Put me down!!
Fred: Oh!! I see you’re awake now!
Me: Of course I am. I already was!!
Fred: I know but you took the hard choice… I won’t let you down until we reach the Great Hall.
Me: I don’t care!! I can walk on my own!! Put me down!! NOW!!
Fred: Blablabla… stop whining Sweetheart – it won’t change anything… GEORGES!!
Then, I saw Georges coming with Neville, Harry and Miriam by his side. When they saw us, they start laughing so hard that my hairs turn into deep violet (shame colour)… Then, they all stopped laughing – seeing that I wasn’t happy at all - and Fred put me my feet back to the ground. And I was facing him.
Me: I almost wait!! What the bloody hell did you do to my dressrobes? Look at me!! I’m so, so, so, so….
Harry: Cute… said Harry in a whisper which I didn’t hear.
Me: … so so…
Fred: Oh just shut up!! It was fun! Admit it!
Me: *glare at him* Do you think it was funny to hold me like that?!!
Fred: In fact, I’ve to admit that carrying an elephant is not that easy, he said with a smirk
Me: I wish I could kill you!!
Fred: I guess, I love you too *wink*
Me: Oh okay I give up!
For now, we were in the carriages to the castle. I was sitting between Fred & Georges. Ron & Hermione must have gone before us, because of their prefects’ status. And Neville, Ginny and Miriam must have been in other carriage.
We were “driving” by a huge black lake, before entering in a tunnel under a small bridge and then, I saw it….
Georges: Nymphadora, Welcome to Hogwarts…
So we went in. There were candles everywhere. Fred has put his arm on my back to lead me… when I heard someone’ calling me behind.
Someone: Miss Tonks, I presume!!
Me: Yes?
Someone: Good evening Miss, I’m Professor Mc Gonagall. Welcome to Hogwarts. I’ll be your Transfiguration teacher. Would you please stay here with the first year, you have to be sorted.
I look at the twins. They just mouthed “It’s gonna be OK”
And they leave me behind. I just looked around to see terrified faces around me… I saw Miriam over there.
Me: Hey!! Miriam!!
Miriam: Hey!
Me: What are you not with the others in there?
Miriam: Oh, I’m a new student.
Me: Oh me too. Isn’t it scary?
Miriam: Actually yes it is…
We just stand there, with nothing else to say…
Me: So, where did you come from?
Miriam: I came from Portugal, and you?
Me: France.
Miriam: I should have guessed…
Me: Why?
She didn’t have the time to answer me, Professor Mc Gonagall was back, and she made a speech for the 1st year.
Mc Gonagall: Now, follow me. The Sorting ceremony will begin in few moments.
So, the huge doors opened and we walked through it. We were passing a lot of student. They were looking at us because of our different sizes and different clothes. I was wearing my blue uniform I used to in Beaubatons. Then we passed the twins, who winked at me. I wink back and I smiled at them. I saw Harry at the opposite of the twins who was looking at me too. It was strange of being looking by him…I felt like… No, this can’t happen!
Anyway, we were in front the professors, and an old wizard stood up. WOW! Professor Dumbledore himself!!
He made his speech and then turns toward me and Miriam.
Dumbledore: Hello my dears, you must be Nymphadora Tonks from Beaubatons and Miriam from Portugal academy?
Me & Miriam: Yes sir.
Dumbledore: Would you come here and sit here please… * pointing to a chair with an old hat on it*
Me and Miriam just share looks.
Me: Okay, I’ll do it first.
Miriam: Good luck.
Me: Thanks *smile*
That can’t be so bad…
I walk to the chair and sit there. I was facing the whole Great Hall. There were a lot of students in there… it was so scary. Then, I saw Professor Mc Gonagall grabbing the hat and put it on my head. I heard it mumbling something in my ear, but I’m not really sure of what it was… and then he yelled…
