Bella malfoy

Chapter 9

As hogwarts aproaches I get excited. We hop off the train and onto our boats. I sit in one far away from Lysander with Albus,Scorpious and Rose. We all hop off the train. "I have a very important announcement to make after the sorting so concentrate or you won't know anything!" Shouts Mcgonnagal trying to be heard over the noisy children talking about their summer holidays.

I smile as Mcgonnagal approaches me and Rose. "Father mother uncle and Aunt alright rose?" She asks politely. "Couldn't be better" answers a nervous Rose. She hates confrontation with adults. "Miss Malfoy your mother ok?" She asks. "Yes headmaster, sir. Mcgonnagal. Proffessor" I say nervously not knowing what to call her. "You may call me Proffessor Mcgonnagal" she says noticing my confusion. "Thank you Proffessor Mcgonnagal" I add.

She walks off to talk to Albus. "I'm the nervous one?" Asks a now happy rose. I giggle. "All right I'm nervous too" I laugh. We both walk into the great hall. After everyone gets sorted talking breaks out through the hall until the headmistress stands up to make her announcement. "I can tell you're all starving I'll make the announcement after you eat. Tuck in" she says. I'd seen lots of videos of Dumbledore and knew she was trying to sound like him.

I eat all the food I'm given hungrily. When the foods cleared deserts fill it's place. After desert the headmistress stands up again to make another announcement.

I look up at her paying attention knowing this was important. "This year Hogwarts is hosting a tournament" announces Mcgonnagal. Everyone's silent and then talking breaks out. "Not the triwizard tournament. That was banned many years ago" mcgonnagal says. Everyone moans. "It's called last one standing. This is a tournament where you live in the forest surviving off earth. If your friends get nice grades they'll be able to send you food. Only second years may compete. If you wish to participate put your name in this hat before tommorrow. Some ministry folk will come to watch. First I welcome Draco Malfoy. Next Hermione Granger. Last Harry Potter. Two celebrity quidditch players will join us aswell. First I welcome Minnie Weasley. Next we have Ginny Weasley." Finishes Mcgonnagal.

When everyone realises the announcements over they all start to talk. "Oh and you can shoot hexes at other players not aiming to kill. Only twenty people will be selected. We may throw this tournament every year if all goes well. Thank you" says Mcgonnagal. Everyone waits a few minutes before talking again. I walk up to my father and mother and give them both huge hugs. They grin when they see me. I decided I would enter. I mean what were the chances of me getting selected? There were 100 people in first year. I'd give it a shot. If I didn't get it so be it.

I walk up to the hat with Rose to put our names in. Scorpious or Albus don't want to do it because they think it's uncool. Rose puts Albus name in so I decide to put Scorpious name in. What were the chances of even one of the boys being selected?
