Sitting near the first years; Veronica took a slightly nervous and shaky breath. Being a transfer from Beauxbatons Academy, she was about to be sorted into a house at Hogwarts. She was slightly nervous, as she would be joining everyone who had been here for years before her. She wondered just how easily she would fit in, when everyone was already surrounded by a group of friends they had for years. She lightly clapped, as the first years mostly got sorted out into Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, the occasional one being put into Slytherin.
Professor McGonagall finally called her up. With a slightly shaky breath, Veronica made her way over to the platform sitting down on the chair. Her chocolate brown eyes filled with slight nervousness as she bit her lower lip. Her brown curls perfectly resting over her shoulders and she felt the Transfiguration teacher place the sorting hat ontop of her head.
“Ahh…” The sorting hat called out, once sitting upon her head, as if surprised by the new and foreign arrival “A french beauty huh?.Mhhh….shy, loyal…smart….” the hat began to mutter about the new student, like it usually did about some. There were a few moments of silence, in anticipation before calling out “Gryffindor!”
As the Gryffindor table cheered and clapped, at the new arrival including the Transfer. Veronica sighed in relief and smiled softly as she hopped off of the table. She started to make her way towards her house table; when she saw Lily approaching her.
“Hi, I am Lily.” The muggle born, girl extended her hand out towards the French Transfer, with a warm and welcoming smile. “Welcome to Gryffindor.”
Veronica smiled warmly at the girl that greeted her with a warm and enthusiastic welcome. “I am Veronica, pleasure to meet you Lily.” shaking her hand softly, she smiled giving Lily a soft nod. Her voice was soft, and her English was very fluent. Her French accent was noticeable though, despite her half British, half French nationality. As they walked to the table; her eyes landed on Remus. The scruffy dirty blonde hair and brown eyes, caught her attention. Veronica smiled over at the cute 7th year, biting her lip slightly nervously for a few moments. But averted her eyes slightly, as she didn’t want to come off like she was staring at him. Lily noticed the glance towards Remus, from Veronica which caused her to smile lightly.
When the two girls reached the table, Lily began to introduce her to Astrid, Sirius, Peter, James and a few other Gryffindors that were sitting near by. Before pointing out Remus, who was still paying attention to the head-master.
“It’s nice to meet you all.” Veronica smiled softly as she sat down on the other side of Lily. Her stomach was rumbling lowly, as she had not eaten for a few hours and was beginning to get hungry.
