The Cursed One

Hogwarts

I got out of the train ignoring the staring people and almost bumped into a huge tree.
Wait a minute...
It was not a tree, it was a half giant.
He looked down at me and seemed surprised to see me.
"How..?"
"I'm Thana."
"Oh.. yeh look a lot like yer mother."
"I know.."
He turned back to the other first years and boomed "First years this way"
Then we all followed him and reached a lake and we got on small boats each containing only 3 kids. The Lake looked really cold so I put my hand in it and believe me..it was cold.
Then we all saw a huge beautiful castle and I assumed that it is Hogwarts and guess what, it was.
I'm pretty smart.
We all entered that castle and an old lady came and explained about houses and sorting and I was getting kinda scared because what if I don't get into Slytherin?
No. I will get into Slytherin.
Then I heard Draco blabbering something to Harry and by the look of it he got badly rejected. I couldn't hear anything because I was standing alone in the last as everyone deserted me.
Whatever.
The we were led into the great hall and as I looked above I saw the bewitched sky and thousands of candles floating in the air.
Dobby told me about it.
Then the headmaster Dumbledore started talking and he said a set of rules which I knew I would break because I can't follow rules to save my life.And when he finished,
Everyone stood in line to get sorted. God my heart was thundering.
Harry potter was called he got into Gryffindor, Draco was called he got into Slytherin, Ron was called he got into Gryffindor, Hermione Granger the girl with brown bushy hair was called she was put into Gryffindor.
Well personally I think Gryffindors are a bit too dumb for their own good.
Then suddenly the old woman whose name was Professor McGonaggal called "Thana Lestrange"
Oh god..
I walked up to the stool and sat on it.
Professor McGonaggal put the hat on my head and I chanted "please put me in Slytherin" over and over again.
The hat said
"I see cleverness, Cunninngness, a lot of ambition and determination..all of them, the qualities of Slytherin.."
Thank god..
"Then why aren't you putting me there?"
"But you're confident,honest,brave and playful..a rule breaker I see.."
"Put me in Slytherin!fast!"
"No child..you belong in Gryffindor"
"Put me in Gryffindor and if I get you alone I'll rip you to shreds!"
It chuckled. This is not good..
"Gryffindor!"
It was dead silence.
Suddenly somebody started clapping I raised my head to see Hermione.
I couldn't help but feel a little warmth for her.
Then slowly walked there and joined her. I quickly walked towards the Gryffindor table and Hermione quickly greeted me.
"Hi I'm Hermione Granger.It's nice to meet you" she smiled.
Maybe I will have friends..
"I'm Thana Lestrange. Nice to meet you too." I smiled back.
"Lets be friends" she said.
"Cool" I said.
Maybe Gryffindor is not that bad...
               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We then ate the feast and we were taken to our dormitories.
All this time I could feel someone staring at me, so I turned around and my eyes met with beautiful green eyes.
It was Harry.
As soon as I looked at him, he turned away but I'm pretty sure I saw him blush.
What's going on?
Anyways we get into the common room using password and the common room was very warm and..fuzzy..
Not the feeling I'm used to.
The Manor is always cold...
When girls are taken into our dormitories Hermione trades her bunk bed with a girl called Lavender Brown to be with me.
Then she plops beside me on my bed and asks me in a whispers tone
"Why were you crying?"
"You still wanna know?"
"Yeah"
"Will you stop being my friend after you know it?"
Stupid stupid stupid!
She smiled warmly and said
"As far as I know you now, I like you and that's what matters...nothing else"
I couldn't help but grin.
I took a long breath and told her my story.
It turns out she's a muggle born. That's why she didn't know anything.
But even after explaining everything, she did not hate me...
And it seems she loves to read like me too. We shared our favorite things and it seems we have quite similar tastes. Maybe we'll turn into best friends..
And that thought makes me really happy.
