There was a bunch of first years waiting to head into the Great Hall. We have been told what houses there were. A professor stood by the door making sure everything was in order. She was very tall and skinny woman and was wearing a green robe and a tall green pointy hat.

The doors opened and we started heading down the hall. There was 4 rows of tables packed with students and at the end all the professors was sitting in a row.

"Wow" I whispered underneath my breath.

I look up at the ceiling and it looks the night sky with the moon shinning through the clouds. Candles  floating around in the air sending off a fresh smell. This place was magical. We all gathered round at the front of the Hall and waited for our names to be called. First name to be called was a boy with bright ginger hair named Ron Weasley. He was placed in Gryffindor. Echoes of cheers filled the room. I saw him head to the table and sat next to three more boys who had the same hair colour.

Next was Draco Malfoy the boy I sat opposite on the train, and of course he was placed in Slytherin. A girl with brown fizzy hair was placed in Gryffindor and so was a boy with shaggy dark hair and round glasses. One by one people were being sorted into their houses and finally my name was called up.

I sat down and I felt the old, dusty hat being placed on my head.

Sorting Hat- "mmm interesting. I haven't been inside this type of head in a long time".

Interesting? Haven't been inside this type of head in a long time? What on earth is this hat talking about.

Sorting Hat - "better be ... SLYTHERIN!"

What! 


I stood up in shock and went over to the table. All I heard was silent cheers. Why Slytherin? It didn't make any sense. I sat down next to this girl with short black hair and just looked down trying not to cry.

*Draco POV*

Sorting Hat- "better be ... SLYTHERIN!"

HA! The Gryffindor is actually a Slytherin. I bet she's bloody pissed off about that. I watch her walk past me and sit next to this girl with short black hair. I think her name is Pansy Parkinson. The head master, Professor Dumbledore, gave his very boring toast and then food appeared on the table in front of us. I looked over at Y/N and I noticed her eyes watering. How pathetic.

After dinner the prefects were ordered to take their houses to the common rooms. We went down to the dungeons and saw a stone passage. The prefect gave us the password "Pure-blood". I felt a smirk growing on my lips. As it should be. We entered a massive. There was a warm flickering fireplace with dark green and black sofas around it. Some tables with green silky chairs scattered around the room and underneath was a huge green rug on the floor with the pattern of a snake. When I looked up, a beautiful green chandelier dangled down. I could get used to this. The prefect showed us where the stairs to the dorms are, left was to the boys and right was to the girls.

I saw Y/N walking in the room rubbing her nose and sniffing. 

"I guess you love me so much from the train it put you in Slytherin" I said laughing.

"Piss off Malfoy!" She stormed upstairs.

This year is going to be fun.
