_.+Chapter 6+._ _. Rebecca awoke to the sound of laughter. ._ "And I'm the best at potions. It's written all over your face!" Laughed Neville. He stopped when he realized she was awake. "What are you guys talking about?" Becca mumbled, reaching for her pocket and taking out a bag of hot chocolate mix. "Nothing!" Nicholas replied hurriedly. "Yeah right," said Ginny, "We were talking about-" "How great the weather is." He might be changing his face to look intimidating, but he is, she thought. "Is that hot chocolate mix?" Luna asked, "I could get some milk and warm it up." For the rest of the trip, they all drank hot chocolate and talked. Eventually, the train stopped and everbody got off. Despite the very large amount of people, Draco somehow found Becca, who was trying to get her luggage around a rock. "Here, I got it." Afterwards he said, "Is everything going well so far?" He doesn't need to be so protective of me, she thought. "Yes, I even made some friends." "Good, you'd better hurry to the sorting ceremony." She walked into the Great Hall and was greeted by the loud noise of chatter and giggling. Floating candles cast a few eerie shadows onto the wall, but warmed up the room so it greatly contrasted the frightful weather. Rebecca joined the long, slithering line, where very nervous first-years stood. "Creevey, Collin! Lovegood, Luna!" Shouted a booming voice that came from somebody she could not see. Eventually, it was her turn. A worn hat sat on a stool, waiting for her. She sat up and put it on, but it seemed unable to decide which house to put her in. "Hmm.. Hufflepuff? No, no. Maybe..." It went on a few minutes before a man with short, black hair said, "Could you //please// make a decision?" The Sorting Hat coughed and said, "Erm... RAVENCLAW!"
