You sat at the table beside Cedric and across from the twins, the last ten minutes had been spent trying to get them to listen while you failed to read your Defense Against the Dark Arts chapter for the assignment. Cedric's brilliant plan for a study group with the Weasley twins was tragic to say the least. Altleast you and Ced were able to complete your first two classes assignments, no thanks to the twins who were very late.
"George really, we need to get this done." You say again.
"I wish I could have seen the bloody look on Ron's face when we told him all the horrible things about Hogwarts we owled him, he won't shut up about wanting to go."
"You two are awful." Cedric says laughing,
You huffed and hid your smile, no matter how hard you tried you couldn't be actually mad at them.
Suddenly the twins got quiet and they looked up at you,
"We don't hate you Ella." Fred says,
"Wha-,"
"Cedric told us, we don't hate you because you're in Slytherin, we're just worried about you, we know how much you wanted to be in Hufflepuff, well anything other then Slytherin." George states.
You smile and grab both of their hands,
"Thank you guys, I really needed to hear that."
"We also heard you told off a upper Slytherin." Fred says laughing.
"Bloody brilliant if you ask me." George says joining in on his brothers laughing,
You and Cedric look at them and begin laughing too,
"Okay okay really we need to work, my mother will kill me if I get behind."

Tw: abuse
Five Years Later-
You looked up at the man that had just slapped you. he stood there starring down at you on your knees, you spit out the blood from your mouth onto the ground and wipe your mouth with your sleeve,
"You're going to die, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but you will, and I can't wait to see it happen."
———————————————————————————
Ross flys into your room from the window and you grab the letter attached to him,
Our dearest Briella,
Your father and I sincerely apologize that we made you believe we'd love you any less, if you were to end up in Slytherin, we know you'll do great, and make us proud no matter what house your in, we love you so much, we can't wait to see you on your break.
Love, Mother and Father
You put the letter to your chest and smile, a weight had been lifted from you, and you felt like you could finally breathe again. Everything was going to be fine. You were going to make your first year at Hogwarts as best as you could.
"Everything alright in here." You look up and find Gemma at your door entrance. She smiles at you,
"I've been meaning to talk to you." You say and scoot over on your bed and pat your hand on the bed indicating for her to sit beside you. She nods and sits down.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so mean to you, I was really stressed out and worried how my parents would react, but you didn't deserve it, I know I was in the wrong." You state, and give a slight smile to her.
She smiles back, "I understand, all of my family was in Gryffindor, that's why I came up to you, I got were you were coming from, and I know how much I wished I had someone there for me." She says and grabs your hand.
"I'm still here if you need someone though."
"I'd really like that." You say
"How did your parents take it." She says pointing at your letter.
"Surprisingly well, so did my friends, their in Hufflepuff and Gryffindor." You say and look at her, "How did yours take it?"
"Not that well, I haven't really seen them since my first year, I stay here on breaks and their usually gone during the summer so I stayed at a friends this last summer, but it's okay really, we were never that close to begin with, they were always working."
"My parents work a lot too, they don't like it too much cause they always have to go to meetings with the Malfoys, but it pays the bills, you know?" I say to her.
She nods and gets up, "Well I'm going to head to bed I suggest you do the same."
"Will do." You both say your goodnights and you head off to bed.

Flashback
2 Years Ago-
"Really mom, why do I need to babysit him again? He's getting old enough to take care of himself."
"Ella honey please, Narcissa doesn't want him home alone." She pleads
You huff and then nod, you were nine years old looking after a seven year old, I mean really what could you do that an actual professional nanny couldn't.
You walked into your main room and smiled at the the husband and wife looking down at you,
"Thank you for watching our Draco, Ella, we really appreciate it."
"It's no problem really." You assure her, lying.
Draco walks into the room and his dad bends down to his height and whispers something to his son.
You never liked Lucius just like your parents, and from what you could tell neither could if own wife.
Draco looks at you with red eyes and then nods to his father.
Your parents enter the room and hug you,
"Alright our meeting shouldn't take long, we love you bug."
"I love you guys too." You say and walk off, Draco followed you and as soon as you heard the door lock, he came up to you and whispered
"Help."
