I can't believe I'm here and have been sorted into Gryffindor. Good to know my script is going to plan. Speaking of which, as I continue to walk down the Gryffindor table a kind voice draws my attention.
"Hey! New girl" I turn to see it's Ron.
"Ronald, she has a name...Hi! I'm Hermione Granger, this is Ron Weasley and Harry Potter. Would you like to sit with us?" Hermione replies. Holy crap I am talking to the golden trio...I am actually talking to them... Okay remain calm...don't fangirl.
"Hey, I'm Shelby. I'd love to, thanks" I reply, as I attempt to hide my eagerness. After sitting down beside Hermione, and the boys on the other side of the table, we begin loading our plates with food. It looks delicious.
"What do you think of Hogwarts so far?" Harry asks casually before pouring himself a cup of pumpkin juice and offering some to Ron who sits beside him and is devouring the chicken on his plate.
"It's gorgeous. I mean, Beauxbaton was great and everything but Hogwarts is amazing!"
Ron chuckles with a full mouth before saying:
"You think highly of the look of the castle" Slightly disgusted, but mostly amused that he is living up to his character, I smile at him and reply with:
"Well didn't you? It's bloody huge"
We hear chuckling behind Hermione and me, so we turn to see who it is.
"That's what she said" Theo keeps a smirk as he pronounces these words. Draco rolls his eyes but can't help laughing slightly, clearly finding it amusing how immature his friend actually is.
"Real Mature Theodore" Hermione replies. That sounds exactly like something she would say.
"Lighten up Granger," Theo says back cooly. I look at Draco as he says this, he is already looking at me.
" Who's your friend?" He asks, keeping eye contact with me, but clearly speaking to the others. I stay silent as he looks me up and down.
"Shelby" Harry replies to him, slightly annoyed with his lack of interest in anyone else.
"Shelby" Draco repeats, however, our eye contact is broken as Theo sits down beside me.
"I'm Theo Nott, and that's Draco Malfoy. Now, before anyone says it first, I call dibs"
"Call dibs on what exactly?" Ron continues stuffing his face, but obviously doesn't mind joining in the conversation. However, he is clearly clueless.
"On our new friend Shelby here," Theo says, placing an arm around my shoulders.
I can't help but laugh slightly at how forward he is, but I already know I'm not gonna feel any different other than friends.
"How about we try and let her remember all our names first, Theo," Hermione says. Theo removes his arm from my shoulder and stands up again.
"Good plan" I reply. They're both good looking and everything but I already know who I have my eyes on...
"We'll see you later," Draco says before pulling Theo away, back to the Slytherin table.
"Sorry about them. They get...overly friendly sometimes" Hermione says to me, holding back a slight smile as we both sit facing the boys again. I see Ron going in for seconds.
"Anyway...do you feel like doing anything tonight?" Harry asks the group. Hermione shakes her head.
"I want to rest before classes tomorrow"
Ron chuckles at this obvious answer.
"Of course you do"
"shove off" she replies, a smile on her face. At least she doesn't mind the teasing in this reality.
"I think I'm just going to try and settle in if you don't mind," I say back. If I'm being honest I want to try out some magic, see my dorm, and go to the astronomy tower. Then I'll be ready to hang out with my new friends.
