ꕥChapter 1:

(A/N:Make sur to have read the prologue before! Enjoy :)!)

It was a cold day when you arrived at your new school. You were personally greated by the director of Hogwarts, Armando Dippet who already knew about your condition. 

You were giving a house there, Gryffindor.

Which you didn't understand why. You were very talented and it was your wish to being a master of complicated spells but you never was really brave.

After the lasts formalities, Dippet introduced you Albus Dumbledore.

He was the headmaster of Gryffindor and a man who Dippet considered a lot. And you understood why, his warm gaze had soothed you.

After leaving Dippet's office, you followed Dumbledore throught the long corridors. He was taking you to your first course, potions.

You could feel the stress coming back at each further step you were making. The professor sence that and begin:

"Don't worry to much Y/n" he said in a soft voice. "I'm sure you will doing great! Just take your time."

You smiled and just replied "thank you professor." You were a little bit more confident and you were ready to enter the class.

You could already hear the low chats of the class doing their work.

Dumbledore steped in and greated the professor Slughorn. All of the students of the class turned to them to see what had bring Dumbledore there.

They whispered to each others for a minute and Slughorn nod at him happily."You can come in!" Dumbledore said.

You heartbeat was racing again but you entered the class. Everybody were looking at you with curiousness. It was really rare to have new students during the year even if it was only the begining.

You greated Slughorn and he greated you back with a smile.

"Well I will go now thank you professor, good luck miss L/N and have a nice day all!" Dumbledore said to everyone in class before leaving.

All of the class was focused on you now.

You felt their eyes on you and immediatly looked down on your shoes, your hair and your glasses hiding your face a bit. You didn't really needed to were glasses but you felt confortable knowing something could cover your face a bit.

Slughorn took you out from your thoughts with his excited voice."Well well, We have a new student! This is Y/N L/N. I'm happy to meet you miss L/N and I look further in your futur achievements !"

"Thank you professor" you said in a calm voice and a little smile.

"You can go sit there!I'm sure mister Riddle will be able to help you out easily with the lessons you missed !"he said to you while pointing the empty place next to a young man with dark and curly hair. He nod to the professor with a polite smile. You could tell that he was Slughorn's favorit student.

You were making your way to the place when you could hear some whispers and stares from others students in the class.

"What's up with her, she looks frightened for a Gryffondor..." a slytherin girl said in disgust.

"Dude did you seen her. She's hot!" A other Gryffondor said.

Great, that were some of the commets you were afraid of. Once you got to your place in the back of the class the students were back on their work not paying attention to you anymore. You were glad that your place was far from others so nobody could look at you from behind.
