[i]This year is going to be much different.[/i] Melina thought to herself. She came from a very prestigious Wizarding school in Luxembourg. For her 6th year of magical Studies, she would be in England. As a foreign exchange student, in Hogwarts. She was one of the few lucky students, that had been picked out for this new program between Wizarding Schools.

Melina had only been to England once in her lifetime. But that was during one of the Summer Holidays, when she was younger. She went with her entire family. England was beautiful, she loved the countryside there. It was like, another world. Feeling quite honored, she was going to Hogwarts. Melina had been excited that entire Summer. She had heard lots of goods things about Hogwarts and how beautiful it was. After quite a long train ride, from London to Hogsmead train station. She found herself among the first year students and a few other Foreign Exchange students, from other Wizarding Schools.


Approximately, half an hour later. Melina stood in the Foreign Exchange Student line, which was standing right beside the long line of the first year students. Looking around the grand hall, she could see the midnight sky, and candles floating in mid-air. The sight was quite spectacular. The four tables, were full of students. So, they had four houses at this school...it seemed. Back where she came from, there were only two.

An elderly man stood at the front, there were two long tables behind him. Teachers were sitting there. Looking at the teachers, some seemed very strict and stern from the way they gazed...others had friendly faces.

"Welcome, Welcome to another year at Hogwarts." The elderly Wizard Spoke. Dumbledore began with an announcement. "This year, is going to be slightly different than previous years at Hogwarts. We have some special guests, foreign exchange students from other Wizarding Schools all over the World. They will be here, with us for the next year or so. I hope, that you will make them feel welcome and help them out, if they are in need. Sorting process may now begin." He announced. 

The firsts years, were the first one's to get called up. One by one, they were sorted out in their houses. [i]Gryffindor...Hufflepuff....Gryffindor...Rawenclaw....Slytherin...Gryffindor[/i]. And so the sorting process carried on, until each of the first years, had a house. Each of the four table, clapped and cheered, when a new student sat with them.

Even the exchange students, clapped for the first years. All of them seemed nervous. A few of the foreign exchange students, including herself felt a little anxious. Their line was slowly becoming non existent, as the foreign exchange students began to get called up.

"Blaine Waldorf" A very tall, slightly grumpy looking dark haired guy walked towards the stool. "Slytherin." The sorting hat called out, as the hat barely grazed the tip of his spiked hair. The Slytherin table looked slightly grumpy, the new guy looked very intimidating.

"Penelope De Fleur" A petite blonde girl, walked shyly towards the stool. Once she was sitting down, the sorting hat got placed on top of her head. "Hufflepuff." The second table, was full of cheers and claps. A few moments passed, and her name got called up. "Melina Mayer."

Biting her lip nervously, she made her way over to the large stool. The sorting hat got placed upon her head. There was a silence for a few seconds, it seemed like the sorting hat was thinking deeply. "Rawenclaw!" It suddenly called out. The Rawenclaw table, burst into cheers and applause. Melina smiled to herself, as she made her way over to her new house...sitting at the large table.

Once the sorting process finished. A large feast appeared at the table. Everything smelled delicious. The hall was filled with merriment and chatter, as the students and teachers ate. After a very hearty meal, Melina made her way to the Common Room, with the first years.
