Intertwined: a marauders fan fiction

Chapter two

I was now in my robes. They were the tiniest bit oversized but Mira said that that was because I would grow into it by the end of the year.

I was beaming with excitement as the train came to a slow stop. Each of the boys wished me luck on the sorting ceremony. They were Grifindoors . I had read up on the house and I like the principles, but that didn't matter. I had to be a Slytherin to keep my family's honour. Sirius had told me that his family , the black family, were all Slytherins except him. He said that although his family were disappointed at the end of the day it was him living in the house and him with the association. The words stuck with me.

I walked of the train, Carrie ons in hand. I excitedly joined the queue that was forming in this, what I could only assume, giant as he was calling

"FIRST YEARS!!!! FIRST YEARS" repeatedly. After all the other years had crowded off we began to walk. Eventually after ten minutes we made it to the shore of a lake . On the other side was my new school.

We were told that it was two people per boat.
"Can I sit with you!" A blond girl with the brightest expression asked.

" ummm" this was the first time I was talking to someone who was not a mutual of my family "if you really want to". The girl took my elbow and linked it with hers. She dragged me of to an empty boat.

"I love your hair! Is it natural?" She asked very curiously. " I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Pandora! Pandora Lastrange" she is a pure blood. I could tell.

Growing up I got lessons on who to interact with, how to present my self. I was told that from now on I could only refer to my self as Kathrine Malfoy not Kathrine Gaunt. Although it felt weird on my tongue I replied.

"Kathrine. Kathrine Malfoy" the topic of the pureness of our blood did not come up. I don't think that there is away to bring in politics as controversial as that.

Despite her family's history of a stiff upper lip she herself was very friendly. A social butterfly. 

By the end of our boat ride we were already best friends. And at the end of the boat ride I added a new peace to my shiny new identity.

I would now go by Kate or Katie to those I know well. Kathrine is reserved for Sirius situations.

Pandora or Dora as many call her ( including myself ) got out of the boat  at the end of the lake.

Everyone was in awe. It was massive! The biggest and bestest thing ever! And it was my new home. My parents at the end of June sent me a list of those I should Equate my self with. My brother hi-lighted,of course. Dora was on there ( that was an accident, I wouldn't make friends with someone just because my parents wanted me to ) I realised another name that was familiar ( not including the many lessons I had regarding those on the list ) ' Regulus Arcturus Black' the last name ' Black' was what was so familiar. He was ether Sirius' brother or cousin.

I looked around and found a boy with similar features to Sirius. Bingo. There getting of his boat with a ( my own personal opinion) extremely handsome boy. He had dark hair and a deep coloured green eyes. He was Barty Crouch Jr ( a informal way of saying, Bartholomew Crouch the second) .

The others I didn't have time to analyse their faces as we were hushed inside.

I was gobsmacked as I took in my surroundings. The architecture the paintings and the ghosts. I could hear the chatter of the older years on the other side of the massive door.

" welcome to Hogwarts" a woman in an emerald green clock with a matching pointy hat. She had jet black hair which was tied back into an elegant ballet bun. Her eyes a forest green. It was enchanting, no one could keep their eyes of her.

" I hope your journey here was as pleasant as I hope you to be" any person could take that any different person could take that differently.
" as I am sure many of you know, here at Hogwarts we have four houses. Named after our four grate founders.

First you have Grifindoor , secondly you have ravenclaw, thirdly you have Slutherin last but not least you have Huffulpuff." She explained.

I already picked out the one that would be social suicide if I was put in it. Although Hufflepuff   Was an amazing house, most of its inhabitants were extras that did not fit the criteria of the other houses. My parents wanted me in Slytherin. So Slytherin it would be.

I always like ravenclaw ( I liked the idea of being with others of the same intelligence as me ).

The creeping thought of ' what if I'm sorted into a house other than Slytherin?'.

I don't even know how they sort you. What if they chop open your head , look through your brain and decide or what if they use magic to transport your brain outside your body and do all sorts of gory things to it. I was spiralling.

The thought of being a disappointment to my family haunted me .

I felt Dora's hand on mine.
"Houses don't matter. Only your soul ."That calmed me down. But the thoughts stayed in my head.

I later learned that the teachers name is " Professor McGonagall". She seamed strict but sympathetic. My idea of a perfect teacher.
When Professor McGonagall had finished explaining Hogwarts history in what seamed like forever.

" now before you enter the hall" FINALY!!
" remain calm, walk with a steady pace and for the love of Merlin do not shout anything while walking". This is it. This exact moment will determine the love that my family holds for me.
