in the middle of the night

chapter 5

    - Mattheo?
   I almost blacked out. I have to stay 8 hours, in a compartment, with the last person in the world that I would want to? The Hogwarts Express looked to beautiful to be true.
   - You've got to be kidding me.
    I sat down.
   - Why, but why you?
   - I see that you're very happy to se me, darling.
   He flirty smiled and I wanted to die.
   - And I tought this day was lucky.
   - The same here.
   - You... stay at the window from the east and I stay at the window from the weast and no conversation till we get sorted, ok?
   - I'm already sorted, but ok.
   - You are? I... I don't care
   - K.
   We were staring at each other.
   - In what house?
   - I thought you didn't cared.
   - I.. I don't!
    He laughed. I sat on my seat from the weast window and grabbed my mp3. They said "no phones", not "no mp3" , plus we are in the train, it should work. I put my headphones in ears and played a song. Nothing.
    - They don't work. I tried already.
    - Look at you, how you know everything, I said.
      No music? How am I going to resist 8 hours, with a jerk, without music?
    - So, what are you going to do 8 hours?
    - Read, i got books in my chest,i said
    - In that chest?, he pointed at my chest being on the shelter and smiled. 
     Dam it. I stood up and tried to take it down. It was heavy. My operation began to hurt. I put my hand on it. Mattheo stood up and took it down, looking at me. I opened it and grabbed my book. He was looking at me with a worried regard.
   - I had surgery when I was 4 . Hernia. The hernia “sac” contains  the bulging intestine. Mine was turn.
     Silence.
     He put the chest back, still having his eyes on me.
  - I'm sorry.
  - No, is ok, is not like it was your fault or something.
    We stared at each other. I broke the eye contact and sat on my seat.
   - Slytherin.
   I freezed.
   - You look like you are from Slytherin, i said
   - What do you mean?
   - You look impassive but you...aren't.
    I opened my water bottle and took a sip.
   - You think I'm congenial.
   I spat all the water in my mouth. I started coughing. I opened my book and didn't look up for a long time.
    After some time
    The door opened and a boys head appeared.
   - You guys should change in your cape.
   - K., said Mattheo
   The boy left. He must be a Perfect. How Julie said "Perfects are the smart children that give cards if you break the rules and show you around"
   After we changed, it was dark and the moon had appeared.
   - In what house do you want to be sorted?, said Mattheo
   - My grandparents want in Gryffindor.
   - I asked in what house you want.
   He stared at me.
   - I.... I don't care. Is not that important for me.
    The door opened and the Perfect said:
  - We arrived.
   Mattheo grabbed my chest and his chest and went out.
  - Hey, give me my chest, I said
  - No
  - Is mine!
  He got out from the train and followed Hagrid with the Perfects.
  - Children, let's board the boats one by one, c'mone. Hi, Rianna!Come here. I see that you put your chest in the boat with chests, good job. Now get on before it leaves.
   - Hi, Hagrid !
   - How was the road?
   - Let's just not talk about this.
   - I see that it was a little bit rough. Look, Hogwart.
   I looked up and saw a castle. It was dark but i could still see how big is. It was bigger than a normal castle. It looked like 3 castles stacked up.
   - Wow.
   - Come in, kids
   We entered the castle... I mean Hogwart and we went into a huge room, who seems to be were we were supposed to eat. There were 4 long tables for the houses and 1 for the teachers. At the end of the room was Dumbledore waiting for the first year. We entered the room and aligned. Dumbledore was telling his speech while I saw that Hermione was next to me, so I talked with her.
   - Hi, Hermione!
   - Hi, Rianna! How was the 9-seater compartment?
   - It was rough. I had to stay with Mattheo.
   - Who is Mattheo?
   - A jerk from Slytherin.
   - Wait, are you talking about Mattheo Riddle, the hottest guy from Hogwart?
   - I guess. I don't know his last name.
   - He's really popular.
   - He looks like a player.
   - I heard that he is the sweetest guy. He even carried his girlfriends chest to the boat. I don't really like him. What do you think about him?
   - Me neither.
   - We are really going to be best friends, huh?
   I smiled
   - Rianna, is the roof made out of glass?
    - No. I read in a book that is enchanted to look like the sky full of stars even if it rains.
    - That's cool.
    - Now we are going to start the sorting, said Dumbledore.
    A teacher put on the table the magic hat and started to read children names.
     - Albre Nicolas, she said.
    The boy went to the teacher and she put the hat on top of hes head.
     - Hmmm, Ravenclaw, the magical hat said
     The Ravenclaw table started to applaud and the boy went to it.
     - Antonio Marie.
     - You are scared of Slytherin, are you. Hmmm, Hufflepuff.
     The Hufflepuff table started to applaud and the girl went there. There were a lot of wizards before me. My feet started to hurt and I felt like throwing up. I looked around and saw Mattheo, who was already looking at me. I broke the eye contact and looked at Dumbledore. After some time, I heard my name.
     - Rianna Clooney.
    I heard some whispers and gasps. I went to the magic hat and the teacher put it on.
     - A Clooney. Wow. You must be their granddaughter. The single one from all of your sisters. Just like them, smart and brave. So brave that you could defeat the evil. Gryffindor.
     Some applause and I went directly at the table. I was so nervous. What did the magic hat said about evil and my grandparents?And why were the wizards shocked?
    - Yes, we are togheter! said Hermione.
   - What were they talking about? I pointed at the wizards.
   - Nothing inportant.
    After everyone was sorted we ate dinner and  Perfects started to  show us the dorms, the schedule for tomorrow and the password.
    - The password is "belle fleur".To   get in to the dorms you have to tell this password to the painting with the fat woman.
    After that we went into our dorms and saw with who we were staying. My roommate was Hermione, of course. I changed into pijamas and jumped in bed, thinking about what the hat said about my grandparents.
