Professor Snape left me as soon as he told me what to do. I was lucky to get a compartment to myself where I could read in peace. When my mother talked about it, potions really fascinated me. I looked up from my book when I heard the door open. There was three girls a little younger than me.

'Move', the middle one said.

'Excuse you'.

'I said move, all the other compartments are full so move and find somewhere else to sit'.

'I was here first so I have a right to stay here, not move'.

'And who do you think you are'?

'(Y/n) Bambi Prince'.

'Wait'. She tried to hold back a laugh. 'Your middle name is Bambi'. She and her two friends laughed.

'Move forward Pansy, we'll just find another one', I heard a voice say. It was a boy with blonde hair. I nodded to him to show my thanks. 'The names Draco Malfoy'. I shook his hand.

'Nice to meet you, I'm-'

'I know who you are', he said, cutting me off. 'I heard'.

'Oh'.

'Don't pay attention to Pansy, she's probably just offended by you, anyway, I've got to go'.

Draco left and I was left alone with my book once again.

I finally arrived at the great castle. All for us first years walked up some steps to meet a tall, old woman, wearing green robes and a hat.

'Hey, (y/n)'! Draco called and waved me over to him. 'What house do you think you'll be in'?

'I'm not so sure yet, my mother was in Gryffindor but I won't mind if I get into Slytherin'.

'Welcome to Hogwarts, now in a few moments you'll 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, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. While your here, your house will be like your family, your triumphs will earn you 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'.

'Trevor', A boy yelled and went to pick up a toad on the floor. 'Sorry', he looked at the lady. She continued.

'The sorting ceremony will begin momentarily', she turned and walked to the huge doors.

'So it's true then, what they were saying on the train, Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts, this is Crabbe, Goyle and (y/n) Prince and I'm Malfoy'. Draco moved to the front. 'Draco Malfoy'. A ginger-haired boy laughed. 'Think my names funny do you, no need to ask yours, red hair and a hand me down robe, you must be a Weasley, you'll soon find out that some wizarding families are better than others Potter, you don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort, I can help you there'. Draco reached his hand out.

'I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself thanks', the boy named Harry said, just before the tall woman came back. My mother told me about the Potters. I knew Harry Potter was a well know kid.

Everyone stared at us as we walked to the front, where a stool and a hat was.

'Can you all wait around here please', the tall woman asked. 'Now before begin Professor Dumbledore will like to say a few words'. Dumbledore stood up at the table with all the professors.

'I have a few starts of term notices I wish to announce, the first years please note that the dark forest is strictly forbidden to all students, also our caretaker Mr Filch has asked me to remind you that the third-floor corridor on the right-hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death, thank you', he sat back down.

'When I call you name you will come forth, I shall place the sorting hat on your head and you'll be sorted into your houses, Hermione Ganger'. I looked at her as she went up. The hat came to life on her head.

'Ahh, right then, right okay, GRYFFINDOR', the hat yelled and the assumed Gryffindor table burst with applauding students.

'Draco Malfoy', the woman called. The hat didn't even touch his head before saying "Slytherin".

'(Y/n) O'Neil'. I took a deep breath and sat on the stool.

'SLYTHERIN'!

Professor McGonagall put a hand on my back, making me wince in pain from the wounds. I got up and sat at an empty spot at the table. Even though I might have already made friends with that Draco, I didn't want to intrude.

'I thought your name was Prince'? Draco asked. Apparently, he moved spots.

'It is but I prefer my mother's last name before she was married'.
