"You've got no reason to be afraid."
-t swift -

ESTELLE HELD THE PINKY FINGER OF LUCIUS MALFOY, as her mother didn't wish to appear at the first drop off. Lucius turned to Estelle as he pushed Draco back. " If you need anything Draco is instructed to help you, dear. Now aboard the train." Lucious squeezed her arm as she jumped up on the steps.

Estelle waited for Draco to follow her but he was out of sight. Estelle turned to see a road run past her. The next second, a girl pushed her into a wall as she landed on top of her frog.

Managing to get to her feet as the road went mad she sighed. "I'm so sorry!" She said walking over to me. "It is um, fine!" Estelle didn't have much experience talking to people outside of her family. "I'm Deliliah Rambert!" She said out of breathe, Reaching out her hand. "Estelle Lestrange." Estelle said taking her hand.

"Would you like to sit together? I don't know anybody else here." Delilah asked looking at all the booths. Estelle nodded as the found a half empty one with two boys.

"Do you mind?" Delilah asked the boys, even though she already sat. "Not at all." A ginger boy said looking Delilah up and down. Estelle sat down next to a brunette boy.

"I'm Ron Weasley." The ginger boy said. All four of them introduced themselves. "I've read about you in Diagon Alley!" Delilah exclaimed. Estelle thought to herself. I've heard that name before, definitely. Around the house. Estelle turned to the boy named Harry Potter.

"Show them the scar!" Ron enthusiastically said pointed to his own head. Harry lifted his hair. "Woah." The two girls giggled.

What house are you all hoping for?" Ron asked trying to diffuse the silence. "I've read about all them, maybe I dunno, Hufflepuff? It sounds cool." Delilah said, looking out the window. "Well what were your parents? Mine are hoping for Gryffindor just like them and my brothers." Ron crossed his arms over his stomach from a belly ache.

"Well my parents, they aren't witches and wizards. They're just regular people, "muggles." you say." Estelle's eyes widened as Delilah said muggles. Feeling sicker than Ron, she looked around trying to find anything her mom could be looking at her from.

"Are you alright?" said Harry as he noticed Estelle  face turning green. "I need to go talk to m-my cousin."She smiled at them before jumping up.

"Draco,"She mumbled under her breathe looking into every cart. "-where are you." Frustration filled her as he was no where to be found.

At the end of the hall was a wooden door with the curtain pulled down. Estelle quickly slowly opened the door to find older people mostly with green accents on their robes. "Slytherin." Estelle walked past tables of them.

"Draco!" said Estelle as she scooted beside him. "What Estelle?" said Draco sternly. "Can our parents see us, or you know watch over us?" Draco stern face vanished as he gave Estelle a small smirk. "Getting into trouble already, eh?" His friends laughed. "No! It was just a question."Estelle stood back up.

He sighed, "No. No they can't." A darker skinned boy answered. "And you are?" Estelle smiled at the boy. "Blaise."

Estelle made her way back to her compartment filled with a sense of freedom and joy.

Another girl stood at the door of their compartment."Excuse me." Estelle said politely, the girl with bushy brunette hair moved. "I was just leaving."

She turned away then turned back, "You've got dirt on you're noise by the way. Did you know? Just there." The girl said to Ron, showing him where. He rubbed the side of his nose.

"Who is that?" Estelle asked after she left. "Hermione Granger." said Harry. "With a bloody annoying mouth." Ron smirked. "Oh Ron, you're just mad." Delilah said reading a newspaper.

"I saved you some droobles." Harry said holding up a packet of candy. Estelle smiled like usual.

The Great Halls door towered the small first years, as Mcgonagall stood in-front of them. Estelle crossed her fingers. If she didn't get Slytherin, what would happen at home. Delilah grabbed her hand.

"I'm nervous! I hope we get into the same house so we become," Delilah paused. "family!" Estelle looked into her dark brown eyes, before turning back to the doors.

"This way!" The doors slammed open, as all of the first years followed Mcgonagall.

The room was filled with children, four tables, Estelle's attention went to Albus Dumbledoor. He is also a talk of the house.

A brown stool was set on the middle of the stage, a hat ontop of it. "With a few start of term notices, I wish to announce. First years please note-" Estelle tried to pay attention to what Dumbledoor was saying but she turned around to inspect all of the other kids.

"Now when I call you're name, you will come forth, I shall place the sorting hat on you're head. And you will be sorted into you're houses." said Mcgonagall, raising the hat.

"Hermiome Granger."
"Gryffindor!"

"Draco Malfoy."
"Slytherin!"

"Delilah Rambert."
"Ravenclaw!"

"Willow Strongbark!"
"Hufflepuff!"

"Susan Bones."
"Hufflepuff!"

"Ronald Weasley."
"Gryffindor!"

"Harry Potter."
"Gryffindor!"

"Estelle  Lestrange."

Estelle slowly walked up to the hat, taking a deep breathe. Please Slytherin!  "Slytherin, eh? Are you sure?" The hats voice was raspy, Yes, Slytherin, please! "I have another house in mind, but Slytherin is also a strong suite for you." PLEASE  "If you say so, SLYTHERIN!"

I walked quickly to the table with green liner, as my robe now had a snake on it. "Proud of you." Draco wrapped his arm around my shoulder.
