The Pieces of My Love

The Sorting

Y/N's POV
     We walk into the castle, I look around and it feels cozy. We are waiting in the hallway going into the Great Hall for our sorting. The doors to the hall open and we walk up to the front.
     "Welcome to Hogwarts, the start-of-term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into your houses. The Sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts." McGonagall explained. "The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each house has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your house points, while any rulebreaking will lose house points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup, a great honor. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours." McGonagall finished.
     She started calling names to come up, each one setting on the stool, sorting hat on their head, finding out where they will belong for the next 7 years. Finally it comes to be your time.
     "Y/n Emerson!" McGonagall called. You shook with anxiety as you walked up and sat on the stool.
     "Hmm... smart I see, very ambitious, clever... oh but very witty. Where to put you..." the sorting hat muttered. "SLYTHERIN!"
      'Fuck. I'm done for.' You thought as you walked to the Slytherin table. You watched the rest of the sorting, clapping for everyone who made it into your new house. Draco also got sorted into Slytherin so at least you would be alone. The feast started and food appeared on all the tables. I grabbed some mashed potatoes and gravy, alongside some steak. I sat there eating my food, looking around at everyone and listening to conversations.
" Congratulations Emerson," Draco spoke. Putting his hand out to you. With a moments hesitation you shake his hand. A smile creeps across both of your faces.
"As to you too, Malfoy" you giggled. You finished your dinner and grabbed a cool piece of pumpkin pie and put it onto your plate. It was one of your favorite desserts, your father used to make it all the time when you were younger. You enjoyed your pumpkin pie, your green eyes glancing over at Draco every now and then until you both were finished.
"Y/N, would you like to head to the common room with me?" Draco asked
     "Sure, dinner is almost over anyway." You responded happily.

You and Draco walked down the corridor towards the staircase, heading down to the dungeon. It was silent, you could almost hear a pin drop. You kept glancing over at Draco, and wondering what will happen when your mother finds out about the sorting.
"For a pureblood, you sure seemed terrified to get sorted into Slytherin..." Draco said, breaking the silence.
"Uh yeah...my mom really wanted me in Ravenclaw. I can't imagine she will be very happy with me." You paused, waiting for Draco's reaction. "But uh, it's fine. I'm sure everything will be ok." You assured him. Everything would not be fine, but he didn't need to know that, at least not yet.
We arrived at the Slytherin dormitory, walking into the common room. We said good night to each other and left for our rooms to get settled in. I walked down the hall looking for the door with my name on it. There was a silver plack on the door. 'Room 13: Y/n Emerson & Pansy Parkinson.' You opened the door to see two dark green colored beds, with white curtains hanging down from them. There were two vanities that doubled as desks, two wardrobes, and a bathroom connected to the room.
As you finished unpacking your trunk, your new roommate Pansy walked in. He had dark black colored hair and pale skin, she was quite pretty you had to admit.
"So you must be Y/n? It's nice to meet you my name is Pansy. Pansy introduced herself excitedly.
"It's nice to meet you too Pansy!" You exclaimed. From that moment you two hit it off. You and her were talking and laughing as if you were best friends who knew each other all their life. Pansy unpacked her trunk, you guys ate snacks together, and got to know each other. Soon enough, you guys decided to lay down and try to go to sleep. As you pulled your curtains closed, you said goodnight to your new friend.
'Maybe this won't be as bad as I thought' you thought to yourself, slowly drifting into sleep.
