Falling for a Riddle ( Mattheo Riddle ff - fanfiction)

Arrival

Amelia walked up the stairs of the great school that once had served as a battleground of one of the biggest wizarding war in history. A few students noticed her and nodded politely as they headed to the great hall. Amelia flashed them her casual smirk or her rather rare smile as she pushed loose strands of her hair behind her ear as she waited to be attended to.

She hadn't been standing for too long till she noticed a group of boys sporting black Hogwarts robes with streaks of green walked towards the entrance of the great hall. Leading the pack was a tall and slender boy with platinum blonde hair. Standing next to him was another boy with the same robe design and his brown hair was styled in soft curls and hanging on to his arm was a girl with the same robe but she had red and gold streaks in it. Gryffindor. A Gryffindor with a Slytherin.  Amelia looked at them questioningly but the boy whose hand she was hanging on gave her a glare that send shivers' down her spine. She recognized that snarl. But she would have remembered someone like him. Amelia turned her attention instead to the teacher who was slightly jogging towards Amelia with a fat book under her arm.

The trio vanished in to the hall by the time the teacher reached Amelia. 

" Ah you must be.. ah here it is. Amelia- Amelia Dolohov ?! " she said giving a confused look towards Amelia. Not one of judgement rather a look of confirmation. One to which Amelia smiled to and nodded slowly. 

" Ah good then. My name is Professor Sprout. Now this is what you need to do- "

After professor Sprout went through what Amelia had to do once she went inside the hall. Amelia waited to be motioned inside. She took a peculiar interest to the portrait of a man with a snowy white beard who was napping on a chair. She walked closer to take a better look at the plaque. Albus Percival  Wolfric Brian Dumbledore.  'So this was Dumbledore' Amelia thought crossing her arms and leaning in closer to inspect the piece of art. 

" Amelia. Sweetheart, come here. The headmistress will call you in shortly" Sprout said extending her hand. Amelia smiled pushing back a few loose strands of hair and walking back towards the doors of the great hall.

She heard someone give a speech that was soon followed by thunderous applause as the doors open revealing the sight within the hall. 

Four long tables stood vertically filled with students who had now turned their attention towards the girl standing at the entrance. Up on a lift in the room was another long table filled with teachers whom were craning their necks to get a look at her. In front of them was a women in green sating robes holding on to the podium while next to her sat a ragged hat on a stool.

Amelia wasted no time and took confident strides towards the stage while students rough housed each other to look over at her. 

" Miss Amelia Dolohov. Welcome to Hogwarts, school for witchcraft and wizardry. The best wizarding school in the world " said a smiling headmistress as heads swiveled around the hall whispering.

" Did she say Dolohov ?"

" As in Antonin Dolohov ? the death eater ?"

Amelia stood below in front of the podium and smiled up at the headmistress and looked towards the student body. The ends of her lips curled upwards as she nodded in agreement before making her way up to the stool.

The headmistress whose name was Ms.  McGonagall had whisked the hat off the stool making room for Amelia to take a seat. She sat down like a daisy as McGonagall went over the types of houses and their importance's. 

" Now we will commence the sorting of Amelia Dolohov in to a Hogwarts house " said McGonnagle grandly as the hat was placed on Amelia's head.

" Ah a Dolohov, I sorted your father oh so many years ago " this was, to Amelia's surprise, said by the hat.
