It was my first official day at Hogwarts, I was so excited. I received my time table at the end of of the feast yesterday, and I'm pretty happy with it. I know I haven't officially met any of the teachers but I'm excited to. I couldn't really get much information about them yesterday because I was having so much fun at Gryffindor table that i completely forgot.

Once I had gotten dressed, showered and even styled my hair I made my way to the great hall. I would have gotten there sooner but I got lost, luckily I ran into Dumbledore and he took me to the hall.

"Alice Thornton, right?" He questioned.

"Yes, thats me. Your Dumbledore, aren't you?" I spoke.

"That's correct" I laughed. "What do you think of Hogwarts so far dear?" He questioned.

"Well its very big, and its also kind of weird." I explained. "Not weird in a bad way, weird in a good way." I added.

"So ill take it your enjoying, Have you made any friends? I noticed you were very close with the Gryffindor's yesterday." He sated.

"Well my family is really close with the Weasleys and i met a few first year Gryffindors on the train, so I guess you could say I've made some friends." I told the man.

"Slytherin was a very interesting choice for you, I wouldn't have put you there myself" He told me.

"Well my father was a Slytherin, and my mother was a Gryffindor. I really wasn't to worried about my house" I told the man.

"Yes I remember your father very well, he also got on better with the Gryffindor's than he did with the Slytherins, however that was towards his last few years. And I think it was manly your mother who had convinced him to start hanging out with the Gryffindors." He explained.

"Did you teach my Parents?" I asked the Wizard.

"Yes, they were both very bright students. They remind me a lot of you" He told me. We were nearing the Great Hall by now so I thanked him for his help and like yesterday went to sit with the Gryffindors.

"Alice, there you are." Ron exclaimed "You have to try this food its so good" He added while stuffing his face.

"Your such a pig Ronald" I laughed.

I noticed Hermione was sat beside me with her head in a book. "Good morning Granger" I smiled. She looked up from her book, and sent me a smile. "Morning, how are you?" She asked. "I'm great, why are you reading?" I questioned. "Oh I'm just catching up with some basic spells before lessons, I have potions first so I'm reading about that." She explained. I laughed at her statement.

I spoke with Hermione for a while longer and then the Owls swooped in with the morning mail. I noticed Pepper my mother's Owl coming towards me with a small letter in his beak. Pepper was a snowy owl with big black eyes, she was very beautiful. Like my mother.

"Hello Pepper" I smiled feeding her a piece of my toast. She dropped the letter on my plate and sat on my shoulder while she ate the toast, after that she flew off. I opened the letter and read it, most other people on the table were reading they're letters.

Dear Alice,

Your Father and I are so excited that you got into Slytherin, It's a great house. Have you made any friends yet? I understand that Ron was placed into Gryffindor like the rest of the Weasleys, I hope your not to upset that you aren't with him. After all I'm sure there are plenty of fabulous people in Slytherins you can make friends with.

Your fathers was over the moon when he found out you got into Slytherin, he hasn't wiped his bloody smile off his face. He's very proud of you. As am I, Slytherin is very lucky to have you. I have also signed you up for the Daily Prophet starting from next week, you don't have to read every paper but its good to have a glance at the paper every now and then. Plus I'm sure someone will read it if you don't want to.

If there's anything you need, or something you've forgotten at home please let me know. Ill send it in for you.

Lots of hugs and kisses
Mum xx

I smiled as I read her letter I turned it over and noticed a letter that had been stuck to the back in my fathers writing. I peeled it off the back of my mothers letter being careful not to rip either of the letters.

Hello Darling its dad. Your mother told me not to tell you this because apparently its silly and childish of me but i need to tell you, its very important. I was just about to leave work yesterday, when I heard Lucy Malfoy bragging about his son being in Slytherin. Your mother wrote to me in work to tell me that you had gotten into Slytherin so obviously I went to rub it in Lucy's face because he wouldn't shut up about his son. Anyways I was telling him how you were really talented for your age saying that you could do all sorts of spells and shit, and then he started talking about his "very dear son Draco" he didn't shut up. If Draco is anything like his father he is going to make your life a living hell. You cant let him. Don't be scared to curse him if he's getting on your nerve, alright? Show him that your not taking any of his bullshit. Don't worry about getting in trouble ill come to the school and back you up if I have to, I happen to be very close with Dumbledore. Also well done for getting into Slytherin, I'm so proud of you. Also don't tell your mum I sent you this. Love Dad.

I laughed at my dads letter, and his nickname for Lucius (Draco's Dad) he's always picking on Draco's dad for his long hair so I wasn't surprised to find that he's found a nickname for him now. My dads handwriting was significantly worse than my mothers so it took me a while longer to read his letter, it was also quite rushed. Ive gotta admit Draco was being a right Prick on the train to not just me but Hermione as-well so i feel better knowing that my dad will back me up if I get in trouble for anything.
