"Welcome to Hogwarts. Now, in a few moments, you will pass through these doors and join your classmates. But before you can take your seats, you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin." Professor McGonagall remarked. Mattheo and Aegon were second and thrid years. Helaena was eager to leave her family for her hufflepuff friends when she got back to school. Davina and Vaera held hands. Davina hoped they would be in the same house but knew realistically Vaera was a goodie goodie and she would end up in ravenclaw or Gryffindor.

"Now while you're here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you house points. Any rule breaking, and you will lose points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup."

"Trevor!" A boy lunged forward and Davina chuckled.

"I think thats toad boy." Theo murmured leaning into her.

"Sorry." Neville murmured holding onto his toad as he got back in line. The professor excused herself saying she would return in a moment. Vaera beamed looking around at everyone and everything.

" It's true then, what they're saying on the train. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts." Draco remarked moving to harry. some of the students are heard whispering, "Harry Potter?" Draco introduced his two friends. "This is Crabbe and Goyle. And I'm Malfoy...Draco Malfoy."Ron snickers at his name. " Think my name's funny, do you?"

"I hope we are placed in the same house." Vaera remarked hopefully. "I dont think i can survive without you Dav."

"I hope so too Vee." Davina agreed.

"No need to ask yours. Red hair, and a hand-me-down robe? You must be a Weasley. You'll soon find that some wizarding families are better than others, Potter. Don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there" draco assured as he extended a hand to harry.

"Malfoy that sounds familiar." Theo remarked.

"Someone called us Malfoys." Davina recalled.

"I think I can tell who the wrong sort are for myself, thanks" harry corrected. Draco glared.

"Ohh someone got burned!" Theo laughed out. McGonagall returns and taps Draco on the shoulder with a paper. He left Harry with one last glare.

" We're ready for you now. Follow me." Mcgonagall declared. She leads everyone through two large doors and into the Great Hall, where there are four long tables with thousands of students, as well as floating candles. The roof appears to be the sky.

"Davina the sky!" Vaera squealed.

" It's not real, the ceiling. It's just bewitched to look like the night sky. I read about it in Hogwarts: A History." Hermione was telling Vaera when she stopped and gaped at the sky.

" I have a few start of term notices I wish to announce. The first years please note that the dark forest is strictly forbidden to all students. Also, our caretaker, Mr. Filch." Albus nodded to an old man and an even older shaggy cat. "-has asked me to remind you that the 3rd floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death. Thank you." Dumbledore remarked before sitting back down.

"He looks older than death." Davina murmured.

"Davi." Vaera hushed her twin.

"Out of bounds. Theo you know what that means?" Davina questioned. Theo smirked.

"No no no!" Vaera corrected.

"Im draco. You and I are going to be good friends." He decided as he moved next to Davina. Theo pulled her farther from Draco. He already had to compete with Mattheo he didnt want to compete with anyone else.

" When I call your name, you will come forth, I shall place the sorting hat on your head, and you will be sorted into your houses." Mcgonagall remarked.

It was no surprise that Davina Targaryen got placed in Slytherin. Also no surprise that her twin sister Vaera ended up in Gryffindor.

"Oh, the enemy!" Mattheo Strong declared. "We have to hate your sister now."

Mattheo was a year older than Davina and he had been wanting to marry her since he was 8.

"No one could ever hate Vaera." Davina corrected.

"Slytherin!" Was annouced again by the sorting hat and Davina smirked back at Theodore as he made his way to them. Hands up high accepting high fives.

"Your mother is going to be mad." Davina teased.

"Rhaenyra will manage." Theo corrected.

"Not since I spun such bullshitery about Slytherin." Mattheo corrected.

"Gryffindor!"

"I mean, you would think that Alicent would be happy, we are in her color." Davina remarked.

"Gryffindor!"

"Watch Aemond get sorted in Hufflepuff like Helaena." Theo mused. Davina's gaze shifted to Helaena, ribbons and flower clips in her hair.

"Aemond is a bad ass in disguise." Davina corrected. "We are getting Aemond, we can return Aegon."

"I heard that you little cunt."

"Aegon! You can't talk like that in school!" Davina laughed out.

"Slytherin!"

"I wasnt paying attention who did we get?" Mattheo questioned.

"I knew it." Davina declared smiling as Aemond made his way to them.

"Move over." Aemond instructed nudging Theo over and sitting beside Davina. "You doubt me?" Aemond questioned.

"Not for a moment." Davina assured.

"Hi im vaera."

"Harry."

"Ron."

"Neville."

"This place is really cool, right? Did you all know about magic before hand?" Vaera questioned.

"I didnt." Harry admitted.

"I grew up with a family of witches and wizards." Ron remarked. "Its in my blood."

"Im Hermione and my parents are muggles. I met you on the train. You have a twin." she recalled.

"I do have a twin. Shes in slytherin." Vaera agreed glancing back at Davina. "My dad is a prince... he... um he knows one of the professors here." Vaera offered. "My mum might have been a witch. I dont know."

"Which professor?"

"Snape." Vaera answered and Ron flinched back. "Whats wrong?"

"Hes the scariest professor." Ron told her. "My brothers told me. Hes the worst."

"I have met him a few times. My father likes him. They are friendly. He seemed alright. He never smiled though." Vaera remarked.

"He teaches potions and he is going to kick our asses." Ron declared.

"Say, Percy, who's that teacher talking to Professor Quirrell?" Harry questioned.

"Oh, that's Professor Snape, head of Slytherin house." Percy remarked.

"Yeah thats my dads friend." Vaera agreed waving up at the professors table. Snape wasnt looking at her though.

"What's he teach again?" Harry questioned.

"Potions. But everyone knows it's the Dark Arts he fancies. He's been after Quirrell's job for years."
