"SLYTHERIN!"

What? Don't get me wrong I don't hate slytherins but I just wanted to be with my best friend.

I look at him. He looks sad and...
disappointed? I look to see Dumbledore has the same expression.

But why? Why does it matter which house I'm in?

Ever since I saw him I got the wrong vibes. Like he's a.. I don't know a manipulator? He just seems like the kind of person who's different on the inside as to what he shows on the outside. I don't like him. Harry seems to.

I get up and walk to my table with my head held high.

I sit beside two other first years.

"Hello, I'm Y/n Black."

"Hi, I'm Daphne Greengrass!"

"I'm Blaise Zabini."

"Do you want to be friends?"

"Sure!"

"Okay."

We all smile at each other and then start eating.

After we all have eaten dessert Dumbledore rises at the High Table.

"If I may, I have a few start-of-term notices to announce. First Years should note that the. Dark Forest is strictly forbidden to all pupils. Also, our caretaker, Mr. Filch has asked me to remind you that no magic should be used between classes in the corridors. And finally, please note that this year, the third floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death. And now, let us sing the school song! Everyone pick their favorite tune and off we go!"

Why would he tell us that? Is he out of his mind? And didn't Hagrid say that Hogwarts is safer than Gringotts?

I see Professor McGonagall roll her eyes slightly as Dumbledore wields his wand. Everyone sings in a rousing, but rather dischordant, chorus of voices. I don't bother. It's quite childish honestly.

Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something please,
Whether we be old and bald,
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling,
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare and full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff,
So teach us things worth knowing,
Bring back what we've forgot,
Just do your best, we'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot.

After that Gemma Farley, a prefect, leads us to the dungeons where our dormitories are. We see a portrait at the end of the corridor.

"Password?"

"Imperamus."

The portrait swings open to reveal a dimly lit room. It's silver and green.

I look out of the window to see... merpeople? Are we under the black lake?! Woah!

"Girls dormitories are to the left. Boys to the right. You'll find your belongings have already been brought up. Any questions?"-Gemma

No one speaks.

"Well then, goodnight. Oh, and don't forget. Before retiring, please place all living potion ingredients in your cupboards. This includes slugs, fire beetles and cutworms. Oh and first years shall only travel to the great hall with fourth years or above unless you want to be bullied by other houses on the way. Us slytherins must look out for one another. Because no one else will. Sweet dreams."

I go up to my dorm. I'm sharing with Pansy Parkinson, Astaroth Avery and..Daphne Greengrass!

I went inside and saw that my trunk and Gylfie were already there.

I then changed into some green and black satin pajamas I found in my dresser and fell asleep.

3rd Pov

Both Y/n and Harry lay awake in their beds. They couldn't fall asleep. They weren't used to sleeping without each other. Also they feared that this all might be a dream, and if they fell asleep they might be back in their broom cupboard.
