Intertwined: a marauders fan fiction

Chapter three

Now. Now is when it is decided if I will be loved.

Yet again me and Dora linked arms. The massive Woden doors opened just as Professor McGonagall turned. Just like magic. Now the massive dining hall was in view. It was overwhelming at the least . I could hear everyone's "Ooo"s and "aah"s. I would be lying if I said that a few weren't mine.

I straighten my back and dusted of my cloaks. When we walked in , it was even more breathtaking. There were floating candles IN THE AIR!!!! Even though I had grown up around magic, I had never seen anything like this before. I did a full 360•, almost braking my neck. As we approached a podium I noticed a hat. To be more specific it was a pointy one, browned with age. It sat unusually. Almost alive.

Where's the torture device that they're going to use? how will they scoop my brain out?

" when you hear your name approach this seat" Professor McGonagall pointed to a stool "sit and sit still". She pulled out a scroll from thin air. Then she began the reading

"Dorcas Medows" she called. A girl left her spot in the sim-line and approached the seat she sat on the stool. The hat was placed on her head. Ok now I'm confused. Is the hat going to eat her brain? No. After a few seconds the hat called

"GRIFINDOOR" the hat was taken from her head and she jumped up seemingly fine. An eromption of clapping came from what I could only assume was grifindoor table.

Although there weren't that many children in my year, it felt like hours waiting for my turn. I dreaded it. After a wile Professor McGonagall called :

" Pandora Lastrange"   I could see the excitement but  a s ass  also the fear. But nevertheless she practically ran to the stool.
A few seconds passed till

"RAVENCLAW" she was beaming. The ravenclaw table exploded in claps ( very sophisticated claps ). I gave her a tumbs up and smiled.  I waited another eternity.

"Kathrine Alexandra Malfoy .G" professor McGonagall shouted. The creeping dealing had now engulfed me. I had to be in Slytherin, no mater what.

I aproched the stool. I slowly sat down. The hat was placed on my head.

I could feel it. Racking through my thoughts through my memories. ' Slytherin, Slytherin, Slytherin' I repeatedly thought.
With out warning

" hmmm" it was the hat. But it seamed as though no one else could hear him or it I suppose ( it had a very rough masculine voice). It didn't speak again for another five minutes.
" I can't pick between Ravenclaw, Slytherin or Grifindoor" it said finaly

"What do you mean you can't pick?" I hissed "isn't your whole job to sort me? What kind of sorter are you" i question. This was my worst nightmare. I could deal the prying eyes of the other students.

The other students had less than 5 seconds, why did I have more than 5 minutes?
"Because of your lineage" it said after 2 minutes.

"SLYTHERIN" it shouted. The voice echoed throughout the massive hall. I sighed. I'm not a disappointment.

"Thank you" I whispered before the hat was taken of my head.

The Slytherine table exploded ( not literally). I made my way to the table. I sat at the closest empty seat next to the Barty kid.

"Now that is what I call a hat stall" he said. I turned to him.

" what's a hat stall ?" I asked genially curious.
"A hat stall" he began " is when the hat takes more than five minutes to decide your house" he finished

" yours was well over 9 minutes" a boy I identified as Even Rossier.

" what were the choices" Barty asked
"Ravenclaw,Slytherin and Grifindoor" I answered. He put out his hand.
"Barty crouch" he said

"Kathrine Malfoy. But you can call me Kate" I stated.

"Well miss Malfoy, you seem like an interesting person and I like interesting people" he grinned. Even put his hand out
"Even Rossier" he added. I shook his hand as well.

"It's nice to meet you Even. I hope that we can be friends". Without warning, the table filled with food. I spent the whole night talking to my new house mates. Everyone except my brother an his friends. When the night ended , to quickly for my liking, my head master finally spoke.

" everyone, although the night is at an end I hope that your liking of the school hasn't ended. Prefects! Take your houses back to your common rooms. Goodnight and let the school year begin"

a boy stood up and began to lead everyone. But I realised that we were  getting deeper and deeper into the searingly never ending castle that was Hogwarts.

" where's our common rooms?" I asked Even and Barty.
" my dad told me that our common room is in the dungeons" he explained a bit confused himself.
" oh" I replied.

I had heard that Slytherins were disliked but this , to me, is extreme! We went down the winding corridors then down some tight and steep stairs, till we made it to our destination.
It may had been dungeons,

but it was magnificent. The walls were decorated with candles.
"STOP!!!" The prefect shouted "older years go inside, first years stay here" we obliged. After the older years had made their way into the common room the prefect violently closed the door.

"Listen up first years" he shouted ( that seamed like all he could do, maybe the power got to his head) " the only way that you can get in here is if you use a password. Every few years it changes. For the past few years and this year the password is Salazar! Do you all understand!?" A muffled yess was given as a reply.

"Now! Each of you will go in one by one to ensure that you understand" . Why!!!! This would take so long.

As I said it was long. When I finally got in, I fell in love with everything from the carpet to the snakes carved into the wall . The fancy antique tables and sofas. The multiple fireplaces. It reminded me of Malfoy Manor( well what I can remember from my short lived 'home').

Everyone's belongings were already lined up.
I grabbed my cat , Owl and suitcases. I rushed up to where the girls dorms were, and grabbed the bed at the far end it had a window with a perfect view out of it.

I placed my belongings down.
I am now longer Kathrine. I am Kate, just Kate. And this is my new beginning.
