Harry waited on the steps of Hogwarts, list in hand, for the first years to arrive at the castle after their boat ride across the lake. He was soon surrounded by chatty, excited and nervous new students. He called for their attention and then introduced himself. He caught sight of Cedar standing slightly apart from the crowd with another girl while Henry was right in the middle of the group laughing a joking with a few other boys. Gryffindor was in for a shake-up like they had not seen in many years if he was any judge.
