It had been a long day all that travelling on the train and not to mention the boat trip across the lake. Blair would have been much happier joining the older students in the carriages, thank you very much.

Okay, now to find the Gryffindor table and take her place. Noticing the red and gold banner above the table and remembering what she heard on the train assumed this must be the one.

The table appeared to be filling up rapidly. Blair recognised some of the other as first years from waiting to be sorted. Straightening her robe she took her seat and looked up and down the table.

Woooaaaahhh! Was that an actual ghost? That would take some getting used to.

Back to observing. What was all this chat about spiders??

Time to make herself noticed, "Hi everyone, I'm Blair Anderson. First year."
