Always The Chosen One (y/n x malfoy)

First Day at Hogwarts

Y/N's POV
I walked the halls and seen everyone talking to their own groups. Of course, everyones with their friends already. Cant go to school on the first day and be alone huh? I snickered and kept my head down as I walked with my hands in my pockets. I continued to walk down the halls when I finally came up to the dining door room, seeing other Sophomores all crowded in the front where everyone was supposed to be left. I snuck into the crowd slowly, Now they wont question my authority here because im entering with the kids who voldemort said would be arriving today.. I gulped and kept my head low, kind of hard when I feel like im getting watched. I wish something would happen so I didnt feel like eyes are on me.. I hear everyone talking about Potter. Harry Potter, must be the guy Voldemort told me about.. I carefully, looked my way as everyone was now circling him and what looks like a ginger friend. Looks like an old robe, and he has ginger hair- My best guest is a Weasley. I seen Malfoy, with Crab and Goyale approaching Harry. He put his hand out after insulting, the Weasley boy. so thats Ron huh, hes the youngest brother. I looked at Harry with his round glasses, Hes kind of cute for a boy with a scar on his forehead. Malfoy says, "Ill show you who you should be around. My names Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." Harry rejects his hand shake and says, "I think I can tell for myself qho to hang around- thanks." I nodded while I tried to not laugh at his remark back to Malfoy. Hes got alot of nerve to talk to one of the highest in the school- especially when his dad is Lucius Malfoy.. Professor Mcgonagall approached them both infront of everyone and cleared her throat at while saying, "Now now students. Line up correctly so we can go into the dining room and find out who belongs to which house and introduces the rules around and in Hogwarts." I got into line as she than lead us all into the huge dining room. Woah... I looked up seeing the dining room fully, Now this is extravagant, better than what Voldemort had us in. I realized I was letting my real me come out and instantly looked down, Dont look in awe of the room- its too bright in here anyway... As we were ordered, their was a hat placed onto a stool on the 'front stage' infront of the whole room. Thats the sorting hat huh...so its going to be in my head- that doesnt sound like a good idea. Did Voldemort really think this through? I mean- won't the hat see my plan.. our plan even?? I gulped as I looked at the hat with fear. I tried to contain my fear so I closed my eyes and looked down. I stayed looking at the ground trying to control my anxiety as much as possible while people infront of me were getting their house chosen. So far, Harrys friends, Ron and that girl have been put into Gryffindor. And as far as Malfoy, Crab and Goyale- they were put into Slytherin of course. I heard, "Harry Potter!" I looked up as everyone else did too, Harry approached the hat and sat on the stool as the hat got placed onto his head. The hat said, "Hm, interesting." Interesting? Why?? I looked at the hat as it said, "Alot of potential.. Is there a specific house your looking to be in?" Why would the hat ask him? I looked at Harry as he closed his eyes tightly. Harry whispers, "Not Slytherin.." The sorting hat askes, "Are you sure? Youd do splendingly-" "Please..." The hat shouts, "Gryffindor!" What!? Hes practically getting to choose his own house! I looked at Dumbledore sitting behind him, I said quietly, "Just letting it happen huh? Didn't think you could manipulate the hat. Thanks for the notice old man..." I slightly smirked and felt eyes on me. I looked at where I felt the eyes looking at me and seen Malfoy looking a me squinting. I instantly avoided eye contact and kept my head down. Of course he remembers- Just dont tell me he knows why im here.. I hear Professor Mcgonagall say, "Y/N... Y/N King?" I hear everyone in the room go quiet, becoming very silent. Why did everyone stop talking? I gulped as I shook my head and approached the stool that was next to Professor Mcgonagall with the sorting hat in her hands. I bowed to Mcgonagall and the sorting hat before approaching the stool. At least if this is how he wanted to betray me... At least he will know that I was smart enough to know what he was doing, but dumb enough to trust him. I closed my eyes, Please Voldemort.. prove to me your who I think you are. I gulped and opened my eyes making eye contact with Malfoy as he was already looking at me. Hes thinking of something... I looked at Harry, he is too.. I looked to everyone else slowly and felt my anxiety start to run high, Which means everybody is thinking about something- something that rang with my name... I looked at Mcgonagall confused as I thought, Now that I come to think of it- How do you have my name? I hear someone clear their throats behind me, making me turn towards them. The person standing there was Dumbledore, he said with a straight face saying, "Y/N King... Didn't think youd come home." I looked at him confused as I felt slightly panicked as he said, "You must have realized youve vanished. After- what I can say is... after your fathers death." I gulped, They know who I am... I open my hand on my side, as Dumbledore said, "I wouldn't." I gulped as I felt my panick rising, Dumbledore saying assuringly, "I can assure you theres no need to worry." I gulped as I still felt unsure, I looked back at everyone as Dumbledore walked out from behind the table and said, "Ms.King, I can assure you- we are not trying to harm you. We're actually glad to see your face here today." I looked at him confused as I was scared. Professor Mcgonagall says, "Its true. We knew if you didnt show up today- well, it most likely meant you were dead." Dead? Why would I be dead?? I thought they knew Voldemort took me in.. I said, "If thats true... What do you know of what happened to me after his death? even more so the cause of his death?? Cause I dont believe for a second that your not going to hurt me if you really know who I am." Mcgonagall smiled reassuring me as she says, "Maybe we shouldnt have this conversation infront of everyone shall we?" I nodded as I looked around at everyone stairing at Dumbledore to see if he'd agree. I turn to see Dumbledore nod as he sat down, she held the hat just above my head. I closed my eyes as it was placed on my head, the hat stayed silent for what seemed like a minute or two. The hat said, "There seems to be a problem..." I felt scared as I tried not to shake, I said quietly, "Please.. dont put it that way- I just want to be normal." The hat hummed in an agreeing tone as Mcgonagall said, "What is wrong sorter?" "Nothing. Its just a bit.. deceiving is all." I opened my eyes and looked down at the floor by my feet as I heard the hat say, "Which house do you believe your best in?" I thought about my father, He used to be in Gryffindor... but if I followed my mother id go to Slytherin...I looked at Harry and back at Malfoy. I said "I just want to know what id fit best in." "Right now- I see you for Gryffindor or Slytherin. Last chance." "I think ill take my chances sorting hat..." I wont choose my fate- especially not when it comes to being more like my father or like my mother. I closed my eyes as I hear, "Slytherin!" I open my eyes as I slightly smiled at the ground, Im more like my mother?? Now thats intriguing. Professor Mcgonagall taking off the sorting hat- Y/n walking to the Slytherin table. I looked over to the people who were worted in other houses- even the ones who werent sorted yet. So- this is the same stares my mother got too when she was assignedto Slytherin? Or is she the reason that their all staring at me like this today? I felt a tap on my shoulder as I looked over to my left. I see a girl sitting down next to me as she says, "Hey- my name is Daphne- Daphne Greengrass." "Greengrass huh?" "Oh- youve heard the name?" I shook my head no as I laughed, seeing it slightly caught her off guard. She smiles slightly as she nods saying, "I just wouldn't have been surprised is all. My family name is... an old one- ill say. Were also one of Sacred Twenty-Eight." "Im sorry- the what??" "The Sacred Twenty-Eight families?" Daphne looks at my face, clearly seeing im still lost. She chuckled, "Not much of a keeping up with the times person- are ya?" I squint at her, showing I didnt like her choice of words. She nervously chuckled saying, "Its alright- I can keep you up. The Scared Twenty-Eight families. The only family lines with no Muggles, and only pure-bloods." I nodded my head saying, "Ah I see. Cool, I guess. Couldve lived without that explanation." Daphne still trying to read my emotions towards her, she laughs nervously again. I guess it wouldnt hurt to make some sort of friend- They could come in handy later.. I cut the tension in the air as Ill put my hand out towards her saying, "King. Y/n King." She'll smile at me as she nod, shaking my hand. I turn back to the main stage watching others get sorted as her and I had a little banter and talk about each student getting selected. She knows alot about people and their families. I gulped as I thought about me and my family, I wonder if she knows anything about mine. The question echoing in my head as the sorting continued to sort the rest of the students waiting.
After The Sorting
I was following the rest of the Slytherin house as they followed 'The Leader' who was touring us around the school. Daphne nudges me as she whispers, "Wanna get out of here?" I looked at her intrigued, as I shrugged "You got something better than playing follow the leader?" Daphne seeing my joke and sarcasm as she interlinked her arm with mine, leading us away from everyone else and into a secret wall. Wow- what?? A secret room behind a secret wall- sweet! I followed in awe as she closed the wall behind us. I said, "What is this place?" "Its called the Room of Requirement. Noone really knows about it- so if you could keep a secret thatd be a great way to keep our friendship." I giggled as I nodded saying, "Sweet- do the Professors come back here?" "Nope. This place is practically abandoned, but theres alot of places like it but most the Professors do know about those ones- so, try to avoid those ones if your gonna skip or throw a party or sum." I nodded, "Note to self." I could use this room when I need to do my practices or- honestly just to get away too... What did I say- making friends could come in handy. I looked at Daphne smiling as she started to show me all the cool little twinks and dinks of the room.
