Chapter 3
Harry took out his Charms' book, looking to improve, if only a little his stats while on the train. It was suposed to by a long ride, and while he wanted to finally had friends, he thought that it was better to improve a little, or nobody would want to be friends with someone who knew nothing about magic or was so weak. One of the redheads for earlies soon joined him.
Harry observed the boy again. At level 11 he was a whole level over him, and he wasn't even the stronger firs year that he had seen. His well conserved but obviously second hand clothes indicate Harry that the other boy came from a not well of family, and that probably hadn't got any private tutoring in magic. Ron probably knew more magic than him, but probably there were students from rich families that had recived previous tutoring that knew more and had more practice. But the boy seemed nice, and his family had been really helpfull, so Harry made some small conversation with him, it was more likely that someone like Ron won't look at him bad if he didn't turn out to know much magic.
After a while, Harry ended discarging the book and focussed fully on Ron. They started talking more about their families, likes and hobbies, Ron as his tittle had shown Harry was an amacing chess player. They played some wizard games that Ron showed him, loosing spectaculary at chess, but he spend a nice time, and earned some new habilities (Chess. Level 0 (80%), Goobstones. Level 1 (20%) and Exploding snap. Level 1 (20%))
At lunch a woman came with a trolley full of sweets and Harry was introduced to the wonders og magical candy. Both boys stuffed themselves and had plenty of fun trying to catch an errand chocolate frog. At the end of the lunch, Harry had unlocked COLECTIONS in the game, and had 3 chocolate cards out of 101 available. Ron was an avid collector too, and just had missing a few of them.
At mid afternoon while Ron was attemping to charm Scabbers yellow, a girl appeared looking for a toad. She didn't cause a great impresion in either of them, and soon she was forgotten. The charm didn't work, and Ron conceded that it was probably one of the twins' pranks. Trying to cheer the other boy he told him that his whisker seemed a little more yellow than before. Observing the rat, trying to see if maybe the spell had made any change, even if it was unoticiable, he saw something that couldn't be right.

A new mission had appeared, which mean that the misterious rat was important. Harry would have to investigate, but it could wait, he had a friend now to have fun with and probably with his current level, habilities and knowledge about magic it would be dificult to unrable the mistery. Maybe when he learn some magic he would track the missions that he had.
A blond boy appeared flanked by two heavy set boys at his sides, he was an astouning level 13, but caused a awful impresion in Harry. He wanted to be his friend, or more likely friend of the boy-who-lived, and made fun of Ron and his family. He was soon scorted up by ROn's older brother Percy, who came to check on him.
After a couple more hours, with both boys already changed into their uniforms, the train finally stoped. The night had already fallen, Hagrids' lantern was the only light that guided the first year students through the slipery path until the Black Lake. There they took smalls boats to reach the castle, Harry, and everyone, got to see their new home for the first time in all its glory.
They were scorted into the school and their new Professor McGonnagal, made a small introduction to the school and then let them in a small room to wait to be sorted. Harry took little notice of the small box that anouncec that he had complete another mision and had 50exp more, he was very nervous about the sorting. Ron was less than helpful in that regard, as his brothers had been telling him all sorts of histories about the sorting, including that he would have to fight a troll. The appearence of the ghost was a interruption that Harry apreciated, at least it took his mind out of the sorting for a little bit.
They were scorted to the Great Hall, the rest of the students were sitting in four big tables under the banner of their house, floating candles iluminated the place and the sky was despicted over their head.
The sorting turned out to be just putting a hat over your head, and it would just say the Hogwarts' House that you belonged. It was a relieved Harry that enjoyed the sorting hat song about the school. The sorting was by alfabet, so Harry would have to wait a while, but not more that Ron whose surname was one of the last.
Finally it was his turn. He walked to the stool and sat, hearing the whispering about him. The hat covered his eyes and the room got quiet, or maybe the hat had a magical way to made him unable to hear anything. A box appeared in the dark, the voice of the hat saying the text that appeared in the box.
