To Love A Mystery

Sorting!!

As a 5th year, being too old to take the boats like the 1st years but new, I took a carriage with the potions professor. We sat in silence as I thought about how much I hated the robes. I hated the colours!! Eventually I got fed up.
"God I hate this uniform!" I said disturbing the silence
"Why so?" The monotonous boice of my professor asked.
"Because of all this colour!" I said "I'd much rather prefer black" I stated carelessly. "Or at least a green"
"Well then, I see you'd love the slytherin house then" he stated
"Are the robes green and black!?" I asked
"Obviously" he said "oh we're here" he said as he stood up and walked out holding the door for me. As I walked towards the steps of the carriage, he held out his hand. I gently placed my pale hand on his one (which surprisingly had the same complexion as mine) and stepped down. His had was so gentle and smooth. I looked up at him as he shut the door. He turned to face me and I blushed realising he caught me staring. We walked together towards the castle as our robes billowed behind us. He showed me to the great hall. We walked up to the top desk and he sat down at his place at the table but not before muttering "albus this is Avril Jade Black a fifth year" towards an old and ancient looking man who had long grey silvery hair and a beard that was tucked into his belt. His eyes shined under his half moon glasses as he looked at me.
"You will be sorted into one of these houses griffindor, slytherin, ravenclaw or hufflepuff as soon as Minerva gets back so for now just wait on the left there" he said pointing to the left. A while later, an old looking woman with green robes walked into the room. I assumed this was Minerva. She walked in with about a hundred or so 1st years after her. One by one, she read a name off a long piece of parchment and they came up and had a hat put in their head. And ine by one the hat would call out one of the houses. Eventually she finished and her attention went to me.
"We have one more student who will be placed in 5th year" she croaked "Her name is Avril Jade Black" she said. I walked ove to the stool and sat down quietly and nervously. The hat go placed on my head
"Ah a young mind good for ravenclaw, loyalty, good for hufflepuff, brave good for griffindor but cunning and good for slytherin. But where to put you?" The sorting hat muttered. "Uh.. how curious... well then your best for... SLITHERIN!!" He said. I ran to the rable that cheered and noticed my robes changed to black and green. Thank god. I looked up at the potions master and gave him a shy smile.
"Hello everyone! Im Dumbledore!" A dtrong voice boomed and everone turned to see the headmaster... well except for me... I stared at the potions master. I didnt even know his name. Eventually, food appeared on the table. There was so much but I just took some rice. Here was my Japanese side kicking in. My mom was Japanese and as a result I loved rice. I ate with a fork which was hard because I was used to chopsticks. I looked up to Dumbledore and he nodded with his twinkiling eyes. I looked back at my plate and some chopsticks appeared. I looked back to Dumbledore and gave him another one of my shy smiles and ate with my chopsticks. The guy next to me looked at me in awe.
"How are you doing that?" He asked
"Um what" I said quietly
"Eating... like that" he said again as he nodded towards my chopsticks.
"Oh well im half Japanese so I am used to eating like this" I said shyly. It was funny how the potions master was the only person I could talk to with confidence.
"Dont worry, I think its kinda hot. Would you go out with me?l he asked
"W-what n-no" I said as he tried to grab my waist.
'Please dont.' I thought. 'Please.' He eventually stopped when the girl next to him slapped him. She acted like a whore.
"Drakey" she said "remember, im the only girl you can play with" she continued. 'Ew!' I thought.
As soon as dinner finished, Dumbledore instructed the head of houses to take the students to their dorms.
I noticed that the potions master stood up 'damn I gotta call him something thats not potions master' I thought. He came towards us. Was he my head of house. He looked at me as he stood infrount of me (I was at the edge of the table) he gave me a small smile only I could notice and sneered at others. 'Argh!! Whats your name!!' I wanted to ask but I didnt want seem rude. 'Its Severus. Severus Snape.' A voice said from nowhere 'what?' I thought
"What?" I said
'In your head. In the potions master. Severus Snape is my name' He said 'oh how did you get in my head?' 'I dont know I just did I guess' I looked up at professor snape, the teacher who was escorting all us slytherins to the common room, and smiled. He was inded a good friend. 'I heard that' he said as l blushed. ' what? Its true'
...
The last thing I remember thingking before I went to sleep was thinking:
'Severus? Um can I call you that? Can you hear me?'
'Yea you can but only in your head and yea I can' he replied a I smiled
'Well good night Severus'
'Good night Avril'
' sleep well' he said. But I didnt hear that. I had fallen asleap.
