Finally, the Hogwarts train arrives. A larger man named Hagrid asks us to follow the path up to be able to meet the school management. I'm very nervous but what's the worst that can happen?
Harry, Ron and Hermione join me up to the great hall. On the way up you get a fantastic view of the lake, it reminds me of home. But homesickness is nothing that bothers me. Being here with maybe my new friends does me good. Becoming a successful witch is something I will soon become...
Students and teachers have gathered to be able to participate in the sorting.
- But before you can take your seat, you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Rawenclaw and....Slytherin, professor McGonagall shouts.
She calls out our names, one by one.
Only I and a few students remain standing at a distance from me. Finally I hear my name and walk with determined steps up to the hat. Before I sit down, I fix my coat and look around the great hall, everyone's eyes are fixed on me. Further back I can see some starting to whisper...
- A Hallow? Hmm...powerful, brave but also not stupid? Better be...SLYTHERIN!!! shouts the hat.
Everyone starts cheering and applauding but I know no one. But from nowhere I see the same guy standing at the train station standing and waving at me. Should I really go there? But his smile is not something you can say no to. In a way, he reminds me lot of Harry...
At the same time as professor Dumbledore is snapping his fingers, today's dinner appears. At home, I usually settle for a little fried chicken and maybe a glass of water. Here at Hogwarts, everything is so different. I smuggle some berries into the pocket that is sewn on the inside of my coat. Then I take and eat with the others...
After dinner in the corridor, we stand outside the great hall and try to know each other better . What I notice is that platinum blonde guy is very close to me. In one way it feels pretty safe but in the other way it feels a little bit uncomfortable. In the meantime, we walk around the yard and introduce ourselves.
- This is Alec and Leon and I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, the platinum blonde guy says.
Ron, Harry and Hermione emerge from nowhere. Ron starts laughing while Draco looks at him with a dirty look. Why would Ron laugh? And why does it feel like none of them care about me? They just do not talk with me...
- Think my name's funny, do you? No need to ask yours. Red hair...and a hand-me-down robe...you must be a Weasley, Draco says.
Draco smirks at them while he takes my cold hand and follows me down to the basement. Harry pauses for a moment and looks at me with a pensive look. I just shrug my shoulders while feeling guilty...
Half an hour later, all of Slytherin's entourage strikes down to the common room. We are in the basement. If you ask me, it's quite uncomfortable and quite dark. Severus Snape is Slytherin's leader and professor of magic potion. You should not really judge people in advance but he looks quite mysterious? As if he is hiding something....
I unpack my stuff and let my cat Saphine jump on the windowsill. In the bed opposite, Pansy Parkinson sleeps. She is one of those who sat and whispered during the sorting. Not the friendliest type but she still seems to be perfectly okay!
Draco knocks on our room door and asks us to come down. He said nothing more but he sounded pretty serious?...
