ANNALISE MALFOY

c h a p t e r - f o u r

Ron looked shocked. "Malfoy?" he asked. I didn't know why. "Yes!" I answered. "Wow, I didn't think you wanted to talk to people like me, your father has us like a descries of the purebloods." He added leaving me in my thoughts. "I don't care what my father thinks." I smiled.

We talked the whole ride. We even bought some sweets. Ron must have been really hungry, because he ate almost everything. Then a girl showed at our cubicle. She was looking for a toad that a boy named Neville lost. I wanted to help her, so I went with her to the other cubicles.

"I'm Hermione by the way," she smiled at me. "I'm Annalise," I smiled back. We looked in each cubicle until we went to the one where Draco was. He was sitting with his friends I suppose. I don't really like them; they seem a little odd and they are like Draco's servants.

"Annalise! I was looking for you," he hugged me. I knew he didn't look for me. He didn't really care. I think that he just wanted to look good in front of his friends. "We are looking for a boy's toad, have you seen it?" Hermione asked. Draco looked at her with disgust. "Is this a mudblood?" Draco asked me. It meant that someone didn't have magical parents and I think that was Hermione. My father talked bad about them, but I think they are just like us.

"Draco! Don't be rude." I shouted. I didn't have the mood for this. I looked sadly at Hermione. I think that she didn't know what that meant, so she didn't care much. We went to the few cubicles left, but we couldn't find the toad. We went to change to the school robes to the bathrooms. I put on a sweater and some pants. Hermione took a sweater and a white and black skirt. I really like Hermione; I hope that we will be friends for long.

"First years here!" some half-giant shouted. He had a long beard, and he was a little fat. We made couples and sat into the wooden boats that will take us across the lake. We had lanterns in our hands, because it was dark already. It was pretty magical. Our shadows were portraited on the water. This was one of the best days I have ever experienced.

"Hello first years!" a tall, older woman with glasses stood on the staircase in the castle. "It is time for you to get sorted into your houses," she continued explaining what will happen now. "they are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin." She said the last house with a little bit of disgust. I knew that I need to end up in Slytherin. All of my family was in Slytherin. If I don't, I think that the consequences will be severe. I can just imagine what will happen if I end up in any other house. Now, it was finally time to get sorted.
