When I first arrived to Hogwarts I was kind of scared. I mean who wouldn't be? This place was huge and so many famous witches and wizards had come out of it. I didn't know where I was going to fit into the whole thing and where I was going to go.

Walking into the Great Hall and seeing the banners for all the different houses was a little overwhelming. The green of Slytherin and the red of Gryffindor then the bright yellow of Hufflepuff. Then there it was. The blue of Ravenclaw. The house I wanted to be in from the start. I knew I had the right stuff to be in this house. I was so nervous. I didn't want to think something and have the hat sort me into a house that I knew I wouldn't belong in. I had to think positive and look on the bright side. 

There was no question it could ask me that I wasn't prepared for. This was the day that I was going to make the first step into my new life as a Hogwarts student. I was not going to fail since there was no way I could fail this. This was the easiest part of the next seven years of my life. 

I walked up when I heard my name being called. I sat on the stool and closed my eyes as they placed the hat on my head. Then I heard a voice start talking in my ear. I must admit I got a little nervous hearing it, but I was brave and I was going to do this no matter what. 

I listened to what it said and I answered to the best of my abilities. I didn't waver once. I said each answer with confidence. I knew who I was and I knew where I was going to end up. I knew how to say my answers so that way there would be no mistake. This was the moment I was waiting for. 

I heard the hat take a deep breathe then I heard the words I had been wanting to hear. 

"Ravenclaw!"

I jumped up as soon as the hat was lifted off my head and ran over to the table full of Ravenclaws cheering for me. I knew that I was going to enjoy this place very much.
