The Riddle Girl

The Sorting Hat

Y/N pov.

An older woman in dark emerald green robes walked up the small set of stairs and i think that's how Renee described Professor McGonagall. The professor stood in front of us all.

"Welcome to Hogwarts. Now, in a few moments, you will pass through these doors and join your classmates. But before you can take your seats you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Now, while you are here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you house points. Any rule breaking, and you will lose points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup." Professor McGonagall stated.

All of us first years walked through the door to see a hall just bigger than the meeting rooms in both manors. The ceiling was obviously bewitched to look like the star lit sky it did. But one other girl seemed like she wanted to prove she was smart by telling everyone about it being bewitched.

We all gathered in front of a stool with the professors sitting behind it and again McGonagall stood aligned with it holding a scroll of parchment and a hat in the other.

McGonagall started to speak again " come forth once your name has been called, Hermione Granger!" 

The girl who had announced about the bewitching stepped forth as her slightly burnt brown, tight curled hair bounced. I have never heard her last name before or seen it in the books.

"Pssst Theo," I whispered

Theo looked at me and whispered back " Yeah?"

"She is a muggle, her last name, Granger its not in any of the Blood books," I told him in a whisper. He just smirked and i think Draco had heard as well since he started smirking to.

The hat was placed on her head and spoke clearly she was a filthy mud-blood Gryffindor. This went on... Neville Longbottom a Gryffindor, Susan Bones a Hufflepuff. Then it was Draco's turn and obviously he got Slytherin. 

"Mattheo and Y/N come forth" McGonagall spoke in terror not even to say our last name our father had told Dumbledore privately not to speak of it, and so he did. Theo looked at me and i smirked back at him and we walked to the stool and turned to face the crowed.

Dumbledore sauntered towards us both placing the hat on us and of course it shouted Slytherin. I mean we are Riddles and even if only so many knew it still was our faith. So, i followed Theo to the Slytherin table and he sat next to Draco while i sat next to Renee and Pansy.

"Why are you letting a mud-blood sit next to you Renee?" a Slytherin boy asked

Renee glared at the boy and responded with "She isn't a mud-blood you idiot, she is a pure-blood!"

"What makes you believe that she and her filthy brother don't even have a last name," a girl stepped in

Renee looked at me and nodded. " I am not a filthy mud-blood and nor is my brother. You should be ashamed  of yourself speaking so poorly to me and my family, doing so could end your reputation and even end it all for your life," I spoke clearly pissed.

"Well you are most definitely a Slytherin from what i heard,"  a different red headed boy from Gryffindor spoke " I like your attitude though, one to never let people talk bad about your family or blood. I'm Fred and this is my twin George We-"

"Weasley, I know. Forget it everyone does, some in  that family are disgrace to the wizarding world. At least you aren't a filthy mud-blood" i say glaring at Granger.
