a/n: um hi so i had to edit a couple things in this chap bc i originally had made it to be a y/n x draco fic and thats how it was saved so there were a couple mistakes

"elizabeth alure" the old woman calls from the scroll in front of her. every person in the room looks at me as i step onto the stage. i look around and smile as i sit down on the stool.

"everyone please welcome elizabeth to hogwarts, she will be joining us in her fifth year" the woman says and people cheer to obey. she places a hat on my head that smells hundreds of years old.

i cringe as it starts to talk "well hello miss alure, its nice to have you here" it says and i roll my eyes. "just like your mother" he says and my jaw clenches "im nothing like my mother" i seethe. the hat lets out a chuckle before yelling "SLYTHERIN. "

i smile as i stand up, the slytherin table cheers and some of them stand up too. "welcome to hogwarts" the professor says and i smile before stepping off the stage and walking over to the table.

i see draco sitting down, his face as blank as earlier as i walk past him. "elizabeth over here" i hear someone say and i turn to see someone that i have missed dearly.

"astoria" i smile as i sit down beside her, unfortunately she is right across from draco but who gives a fuck. "i've missed you" she says and leans in to hug me. we used to be best friends before she started going to hogwarts. mother told me she would be a bad influence now.

"can't you two reunite somewhere else" draco spits out and i look at him "can't you sulk in your never ending sadness somewhere else" i say and his jaw clenches again. "ignore him" astoria says and i turn back to her.

"you look great" i say and she smiles "thank you. so do you. why didn't you tell me you were coming?" she asks and i shrug "it was kind of a last minute thing. you know how my parent's are" i laugh and she nods. "tell me all about it later, i can show you around" she says and i smile.

draco just glares at the two of us as we catch up on other things and watch the first years get sorted.

"so that was the great hall and i'll show you the slytherin common room" astoria says and i laugh as we walk down the corridor. "so tell me all about how you ended up here" she says and i roll my eyes as i think back on what happened.

*flashback*
"i saw your trunk is packed, are you planning on going somewhere" my mother says and i look up from my plate of food. "snooping in my room again, mother" i say and she just glares at me "answer the question, beth" she says and i sigh. "im going to a different school" i break the news and she stops chewing her food, barely choking on it. "you're what" she says and i laugh "im going to hogwarts. i leave tomorrow" i say and she shakes her head. "no. you are not. you are not going to that school" she says and i look at her "you can't keep me locked in here forever. i have to go out at some point, im miserable here" i say and she laughs. "you don't know what miserable is. you will not go to that school" she says and i stand up. "where do you think you are going" she yells as i walk up the stairs "room" i say back as i walk into my bedroom and plop onto my bed waiting for her to enter the room behind me.
*end of flashback*

astoria looks at me as i finish telling her everything that happened. "and did your father get mad" she asks and i laugh "hell yeah he did. but i left pretty early before he could do anything. im sure i'll be getting a letter soon" i say and she shakes her head.

we get to a large painting on the wall and she looks at me and smiles "pureblood" she whispers and i cringe. of course that's the password. i know im a pureblood but i've never had the same hatred the rest of my family has for half-bloods and muggle borns.

the painting opens up and we walk through a tunnel to get into the slytherin common room. there is a table in the back of the room with a candle on top of it and two people sit at it talking. there are bookshelves on the walls full of different types of books. there is a leather couch in the middle of the room with throw blankets on each side. a dark oak coffee table sits in front of it with two candles lit also. two chairs beside the couch, occupied by two girls reading. a fireplace lit that gives a cozy feel to the place.

"its beautiful" i say as i look at the artwork on the walls and the green theme takes over my eyes. "it really is. but the parties in this thing are even better" she winks and i laugh. "so up that staircase are the boy's dormitories and this one has the girls" astoria says as we make our way up the stairs and i smile as i run my hand up the rail.

"this is your room. usually we have roommates but ever since what happened last year there are less people so we have our own rooms and bathrooms" she says as we reach a door that has my name on it "thank you for showing me around" i say and she nods. "im glad you're here and out of that house" she laughs and i nod. "anyways, i'll talk to you later. i'll let you get settled" she says and i nod as she walks away.

i open the door to my room and walk in, locking it behind me. i look at the full sized bed in the middle of the room, definitely a downsize from the king size in my bedroom at home. there is a small desk in the corner of the room and a wardrobe with my trunk in front of it. the door to the bathroom is shut so i don't peek into it yet. i walk over to the bed and plop down "ugh" i cringe as i sit back up, im definitely buying a new mattress tomorrow.
