When they gave up they asked a conductor who said that they were just wasting his time and were crazy because there’s no such thing as platform 9 and 3/4. A while later they saw a group (or family) of strange looking people and so of course they stared especially when the young man walked through the pillar. Then they decided that they should ask them for help because they must be magical folk. The cubby lady how ever spotted them first and asked “Are you trying to get to platform 9 and 3/4 because if so we can help." So Bella replied "Yes we do need help to get there." While Harry merely looked embarrassed to be asking for instructions. Seeing how Harry looked embarrassed the plump woman said, “Its ok its Ron’s first time too." With that Harry seemed to not be so embarrassed. Then the plump woman said, “All you have to do is run straight towards that pillar but try not to be seen by and muggles. Bella was just about to ask what muggles were when the lady gave her a light shove towards the pillar and to Bella’s surprise she just glided through the pillar and on the other side there was a train saying "Hogwarts Express" and on the other pillar in front of her there was a sign saying " Platform Nine and 3/4" She had little time to look around for right after Harry and Ron came through the woman rushed them on to the train then they were off to Hogwarts. After finding a seat for the three of them they started to talk with the red headed boy whose name was Ronald Weasley. (but everyone just calls him Ron)After just about ten minutes of talking a boy with dreadlocks popped his head in and asked if anyone had seen his toad around there but to his sorrow they had not seen his toad. 5 minutes later another visitor came but this time she said, "Has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville has lost his." But then she saw that Ron had his wand out and asked, “Are you going to do magic? I have to watch this..." So Ron continued with his spell to try to turn his fat rat Scabbers yellow. Then seeing that Harry’s glasses were broken in the middle the girl simply said a spell and they were like brand new. Then she said, "I am Hermione by the way and you are..." Bella replied the fastest and said, “I am Bella Potter and this is my brother Harr..." But she got interrupted by Hermione who completed her sentence and said "...ry Potter, I know of course everyone knows Harry Potter... Sorry who are you again?" she said pointing at Ron aimlessly. He just replied, "Oh just Ron Weasley but nobody important like Harry." “Oh.” She replied sounding a little disappointed. Anyways we should start getting our robes on I heard we are almost there. So Bella, Hermione, Ron, and Harry went down to get in to their robes when a boy with bleach blonde hair and grey eyes caught Bella’s attention. Hermione quickly saw this and pulled Bella along and told her that that was Draco Malfoy supposedly the meanest boy ever. But that didn’t stop Bella from thinking about him I mean how often do you see a boy with beach blonde hair and gorgeous gray eyes??? Instantly she secretly had a crush on him. After they go back to their seats a trolley came and Harry bought everything on it. Soon they all found out that not all candy was good and that some tasted like earwax and vomit which Bella unfortunately found out the hard way. Then Hermione tapped her on the shoulder and said, “Look out the window where there!” So Bella looked out the window and was amazed at what she saw. It was a castle… her school was a beautiful old castle! She just couldn’t help herself and let out a gasp and then a tiny little shriek of excitement. Which caused everyone to look at her like she was crazy but she didn’t care because today was the best day of her life. But just wait it even got better! As she and the others got off Hagrid was waiting for them and took them to a dark lake and then told them to get into the boats. Bella quickly observed them and asked, “But where are the oars we must need to…” but at that moment there was a slight lurch and her question was answered. The boats moved by magic and all of her schoolmates were just gasping and giggling so she decided to join in. http://BellatrixFang.freeservers.com Then as they got to the castle an older looking witch with a pointy hat came and greeted them saying, “First years welcome to Hogwarts, I am Professor McGonagall, head of Gryffindor, and I shall be taking you to the great hall for you’re sorting.” So then they followed her but she said that they had to wait there for a second so behave. Then Draco Malfoy came up to Harry and pretty much insulted Ron and Hermione but when he got to Bella he didn’t say anything but instead just stared at her for a moment before going back to his place with Crabbe and Goyle. Then they entered through the great hall and were amazed by the enchanted ceiling and the floating candles. The sorting was as follows: Ronald Weasley, Gryffindor. Hermione Granger, Gryffindor. Draco Malfoy, Slytherin. Vincent Crabbe, Slytherin, Gregory Goyle, Slytherin. Harry Potter, Gryffindor. Bella Potter, Gryffindor. Even though for Harry the hat asked him where he would like to be it also asked Bella the same thing but she decided that she wanted to be with her brother but otherwise she really didn’t care.  Unlike Harry who despised Slytherin because Draco was in it. Then they had a marvelous feast full of everything they could ever imagine! Then they all followed the Prefects up the moving staircases up to the seventh level which is wear Gryffindor’s common room is. They all went up to their beds and all fell fast asleep because of all of the excitement from the day. Bella just couldn’t wait to see what was in store for the next day. She woke up to Hermione shaking her awake and saying, “Wake up! Wake up! We are going to be late for breakfast!” So then they went down to the great hall and got their breakfast and their schedules. When she and Hermione saw that they had four classes with Slytherin! Hermione was furious that she had to learn with “them”. Bella was secretly overjoyed. She would be able to see the mysterious Draco Malfoy every day at class. First class was flying. It all went well until Neville Longbottom accidentally went flying right into the castle and broke his wrist. During the fall he dropped his rememberball which Draco happened to see first and while Madam Hooch was gone he threatened to put it somewhere like in a tree for Neville to find. Harry, being Draco’s worst enemy flew up and when Draco threw the rememberball and speed to go and catch it. He did but unfortunately right out side of Professor McGonagall’s office window. That made Professor McGonagall come outside and take Harry inside. The rest of year was pretty boring especially potions. Snape the potions master was really boring and he hated Gryffindor’s the most and took away tons of their house points. Then late one night she awoke to Harry and Ron sneaking out and finding a mirror that showed you what your heart really wanted. Harry saw his parents, Ron saw himself holding the World Cup with a Prefect badge on, while Bella saw herself in the Slytherin common room with Malfoy. Which she never told anyone because she thought it was too confusing. Later in the year Bella took part in the finding of the Philosophers Stone which in the end Harry got from the dark Lord Voldemort. Bella escaped with no injuries which was really weird because she should have been killed by the chess piece that hit her across the room and against the wall where she fell to the ground, but she only scraped her head a little bit and got a huge headache.

This concludes Bellatrix's First Year and will continue on Bellatrix's Second Year at Hogwarts!
