Entering the Great Hall with Harry and Ron is amazing ! We are led to the front by Professor McGonagall, who is a strict looking witch that is dressed in dark green. I marvel at the hall itself. There are hundreds of floating candles around the hall, giving off a little light and making the hall feel more welcome. The ceiling is bewitched to look like the sky above it. Honestly, it looks like there's no ceiling there at all ! There are four tables on either side of us. Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. I'm hoping that I'm in Slytherin to be with Draco.
We arrive at the front of the hall and Professor McGonagall starts calling people up to sit on a stool. She'll then place a raggedy hat on our heads, which will decide which house we'll be in. I know what house I'm going to be in.
"Granger, Hermione !" said Professor McGonagall. The bushy haired girl makes her way up to the stool and the Professor places the sorting hat on her head. After a while, it shouts out, "GRYFFINDOR !" I smile and clap politely as she joins the Gryffindor table. I see the Weasley twins and smile at them.
"Saunders, Bethany !" said Professor McGonagall. A pretty, blonde haired girl goes up to the front. She smiles at me as she sits down. "SLYTHERIN !" said the sorting hat. I clap for her as she joins the green and silver table.
"Malfoy, Draco !" said Professor McGonagall. The blonde haired boy walks up to the front. The sorting hat barely touches his head and calls out, "SLYTHERIN !" Now, I want to be in that house with him. I hope he and I will become something more.
"Potter, Cosmina !" said Professor McGonagall. I gulp. Harry gives my hand another squeeze before I let go and move towards the front. I sit down on the stool slowly and catch a glimpse of the whole hall whispering. It's probably because I'm a Potter. Then, the sorting hat covers my eyes.
"Ahh, a Potter. Haven't had one of those in a long time." said the sorting hat. I flinched a little, unaware that the hat was going to talk to me. "Yes, plenty of courage, not a bad mind either. You'd do well in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. Oh ! But what's this ? A thirst to prove yourself. Plenty of ambition and quite a clever and cunning personality. But where to put you ? Well, I'd have to say... SLYTHERIN !"
It really did put me in Slytherin. The hat is lifted off my head and I am ushered over to the green and silver table. They're all happy that they got a Potter in their house. I sat down. Harry and the Weasley are probably mad about it, but this suits me.
"Hi, I'm Bethany, Bethany Saunders." I look up to see the pretty blonde haired girl introducing herself to me. I smile happily.
"Cosmina Potter." I said, shaking her hand. She smiled back at me with a genuine smile.
"Potter, Harry !" said Professor McGonagall. I'm snapped out of my thoughts as I watch my brother get sorted. The hat sits on his head for quite a while, but it finally calls out, "GRYFFINDOR !" I slump in my seat and let out the breath that I hadn't realized that I had been holding. Great. This is just great. My perfect brother is in Gryffindor while I'm in Slytherin with Bethany. This is fantastic.
Well, most of them are stuck up pricks except for Bethany. She's actually really nice. She told me that the hat was debating on whether to put her in Hufflepuff or Slytherin. I'm honestly happy that she's in my house. At least, I have one decent person to talk to.
Throughout the feast, I was happy and I talked to Bethany the whole time. She seems to realize that I'm happy to be in Slytherin, but I was still mad at Harry. I spent the whole feast avoiding the Gryffindors' eyes, not wanting to feel even worse about it. It just seems unfair. Harry gets Gryffindor. He gets a massive cheer and he gets to be with the Weasley while I'm enjoying my life at the Slytherin table. Yay, me !
I also spend the feast avoiding Draco. I just know that he'll have something supportive to say, so I particularly don't need to look at him at all.
*************************************************** After the feast, we are led through the dungeons to the Slytherin common room. Ha ! Of course. The Slytherin common room is in the dungeons ! Clearly, the rest of the school can't stand us, so we have to be placed as far away from them as possible. I'm really happy to be in Slytherin. After everything that happened with the Dursleys, I was finally looking forward to escaping and hanging out with my friends as well as learning magic without a care in the world.
I have to admit that I quite like the Slytherin common room. It had big, black leather chairs and it's filled with heaps of different animals' skulls. It's also placed under the Black Lake, so the light comes in the room with glowing green lights. The room practically describes my personality. Ok, I definitely understand why the hat put me in Slytherin. Without Bethany, this place would be a nightmare.
The girls are led to a dormitory and me and Bethany immediately grab beds next to each other. I also got to meet the the other girls in our year. Pansy Parkinson is a pug faced girl with a black bob. She seems a little snarky and judgmental. She is a typical Slytherin girl. Daphne Greengrass is a rather pretty blonde haired girl. She has a stuck up attitude, but she actually seems ok. I think we could become friends. Millicent Bulstrode is a heavy, black haired girl that could quite possibly be either Crabbe or Goyle's sister. I better stay on her good side !
Bethany is my new best friend. She doesn't judge at all. She is really nice and she could quite possibly be a Hufflepuff. Although, she sometimes can be fiery.
I am looking forward to classes, but I am still dreading tomorrow. What do I tell everyone ? Will they ignore me ? Will they treat me like trash ? I feel a knot in my belly. Hogwarts isn't exactly going as planned.
