Amortenia

2. Sorting Hat

We both lay in the tall grass where the willow swung us to. Out of breath, and scared I stand up walking towards Daphne helping her get on her feet. 

"That was fucking awesome," She laughs causing me to join her. Our laughing turned silent when we heard a voice behind us.

"What might you two be doing here and not on the train?" I gulp turning around to see a pale figure in a long black robe which matched his long black hair. 

"We drove our self's here cause we missed the train but I didn't know how to park and ended up in the whomping willow. Sir," the girl standing next to me explains. I shake my head from her honesty. 

"Dumbledore will want to speak to the two of you, I'll take you to him now," he says with no facial expressions but his eyes were staring into my soul.  Probably wondering who I am. He looks oddly familiar though. I've seen him before but I don't know where.

Walking through the castle I look around. Paintings that come alive all around me and ghosts running through the walls or floating above our heads. Hogwarts is truly a beautiful place, with so much character to it. Students start entering the castle all talking and laughing. I couldn't take a long look at everyone for I was being rushed up a spiral staircase followed by Daphne. The I assume professor opens the door to a small but yet big office. An old man sits at a desk, a phoenix to his left. That must be Dumbledore.  

"Welcome in Mrs. Greengrass and Mrs. Umbridge," the man in the black cape gives me a sharp glare. He must know my mom. I wish I could go somewhere and an adult doesn't know her, that would be nice. 

"These two found themselves into some trouble on they're way to school," the man speaks. 

"Thank you Professor you may leave now," the old man nods towards the door. The man in the black robe walks out rolling his eyes while closing the door. "Now I will not expel you guys but I will warn you to stay out of trouble, that is all. I hope you find this year brings great memories to the both of you,"I don't know what my mother means when she calls him a dumb old man. He seems sweet and by all the potions and books in his office he seems smart to me. 

"Oh and welcome to Hogwarts Blair, I hope you find what you need here and we are always here when you need help," he winks at me like he knows my past. What am I saying he probably does. 

We walk back into the halls. Daphne leads me to a huge room with four long tables of kids and teachers facing to them at the end of the room. The ceiling was a sky like view that seemed almost to real, floating candles all around with more ghosts. I saw one spin his head around scaring I believe a first year. I spot a brown tan like hat on a chair in front of the teachers. 

"That's the sorting hat. It tells you which house you belong too," Daphne says knowing I was confused. I've heard of the houses before there's Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, and Slytherin. My mother was in Slytherin, she always told me it was the only good one. 

"Are you Mrs. Umbidge?" A tall lady wearing a green robe asks.

"Yes Blair Umbidge."

"I'm Professor McGonagall. You will join the first years in the sorting hat ceremony, please follow me and Mrs. Greengrass join you're house," I watch Daphne walk to the table far left. Students in a green colored robe. Slytherin. 

I'm not much taller than all of them. Only a inch or two taller. I start to notice how many wizards and witches are here. All chatting with they're tables.  

McGonagall starts walking to the hat with us not far behind her. I see my mother looking straight at me, I already know if I don't make slytherin or at least raveclaw she will be furious with me. I am hoping slytherin because of Daphne though. 

" Welcome to Hogwarts everyone. We will," I zone out looking into the crowd as Dumbldore gives a speech. I spot the blonde haired girl with a group of friends who all aren't paying attention either. One boy stands out, a bleach blonde hair with a cold look to him. He catches my gaze making me turn back to what now Professor McGonagall is talking about. I still felt his gaze on me. 

"Blair Umbridge," She says my name to come up to the chair and sit the hat on top of my head.

Slowly walking up and seating myself I felt everyone's eyes looking at me. 

"Uh yes Umbridge, hmm a tricky mind you got. Very smart could be raveclaw, though you have a brave personality maybe gryffindor, you have great power," He talks for only my ear to hear. Making my stomach turn. 

"SLYTHERIN." 

Happiness fills me walking to the seat Daphne is pointing at. Kids cheering from only the far table. I sit next to Daphne and a girl with brown soft hair. 

***************

Draco Malfoy:

I locked eyes with this small brown haired girl before she looked away. I kept looking, I don't know why but she makes me mad but curious at the same time. 

"She's hot," I hear Blaise whisper next to me. The hat on her head shouts SLYTHERIN. Making my class mates around me cheer loudly as she walks toward us. She must know Daphne from the way Daphne is motioning her to sit next to her. 

"Guys meet Blair Umbridge. She's our year but is coming from that all girls school," Umbidges daughter? I never thought someone wound snug with that crazy lady. 

"Do you think she's just as cat obsessed as Umbidge?" Pansy says loud enough for everyone to hear. 

"Yeah no thanks. I like cats and all but not as much as my mother."

Everyone giggled at that. Wasn't even that funny. 

Draco x Blair:

Our eyes seemed to meet once again.
