Name : Allison Riddle

"Damn, you were right. I didn't even realize how late it got. We've been reading for forever, but it feels like it's been no time at all." Harry said laughing.

"See! I'm telling you that's all it is, a good book, no dis- wait how late did it get?" I asked with worry.

He glanced briefly at his watch and looked up at me once more, worry on his face.

"Right before dinner. Your gonna miss your sorting. Come on, I know the quickest way there." Harry said as he grabbed my hand.

As he guided me through the halls of hogwarts, hand in hand, I felt free. I felt happy, for once.

Although I was happy, Harry was running quite fast, a little too fast for me to keep up with. So I feel behind, but with him still having a hold on my hand, I just fell forwards.

"Alison! Are you okay? I'm  sorry, I didn't mean for you to fall.  " He asked as soon as he had seen I'd fallen.

"Yeah I'm fine. Just a little dirt. It's nothing to feel sorry about, you were just running a little too fast for me. But I'm good." I said as I stood and wiped off the dirt.

Harry and I both locked eyes then we just burst out laughing. We were both so happy. So fun. So free. We were having the time of our lives.

We started to walk to the great hall, but I got bored, so I decided to spice things up a little.

"Tag" I said as I tapped Harry's arm ran a few feet in front of him.

He just gave me a stupid goofy grin.

"Oh that's what we're doing now? I thought we already figured out that I'm faster than you. I could easily catch you." Harry said smugly.

"Then do it." I said.

As soon as the words left my mouth, Harry started chasing me, and I started running as fast as I could.

We were both running down the corridors towards the great hall. When we reached the door, Harry had tagged me, but I was able to tag him back right before we got there.

Since I was still running as I was attempting to open the great hall door, I tripped and fell, rolling into the hall. Everyone went silent and all eyes turned to me.

Harry ran in right after me, helping me up immediately.

"Alright Ali, you must be really clumsy to fall twice between the library and here." He stated.

I heard my brother swear incredibly loudly, probably because I was talking to Harry.

Once Harry had helped me on my feet, he was shoved away from me. Right in front of him was Mattheo, looking more pissed then ever.

"What the hell Potter! You pushed my fucking sister, and by the sound of it, twice!" He said getting in Harry's face.

"Mattheo! Harry didn't push me, I fell.  I fell on my own, twice. He kinda did the opposite of pushing me, he helped me up both times." I explained, taking Harry's place and getting in my brother's face.

"Why the hell were you even talking to him Alison! You know who he is. Who he makes friends with." He says as he points to the Gryffindors.

"What the fuck Mattheo! What the fuck! Why the fuck does it matter who he is friends with? Or who he is? What the fuck is wrong with you Mattheo! Get a grip!" I yelled, getting in his face more and more with every word.

Once I finished, the whole hall was silent. Dead silent.

"What, so you want to be friends with them now?" Mattheo asks me slowly.

"Maybe I do. They have a lot more personality than you, so maybe it'll make for a nice change." I retorted.

"Mrs. Riddle. As much as I would hate to interrupt this little family dispute, you need to be sorted." Dumbledore said calmly.

Right, that.

I walked up to the front, with all eyes on me, no one else making a sound. Then the hat was placed upon my head.

"Ah yes, you could do great things. Great things indeed. You seem to be ambitious, and cunning. But you have a thirst for something most in slytherin don't have. Friendship, kindness, bravery. Better be, GRYFFINDOR!" The hat spoke.

I smiled wide and hopped down from the stool. I then realized I don't have people to sit with in Gryffindor, and my smile faded.

"Ali! Over here!" I heard someone yell.

I turned to see Harry and Hermione waving me over. I was incredibly thankful for them in that moment.

The other boy, a red head, looked at me suspiciously.

"Oh Ronald, don't be rude! She's kind." Hermione said as she smacked the boy.

"But she's a Riddle! How do you know she isn't gonna try to kill Harry? To finish what her father started?" He asked incrediusly, thinking I couldn't hear him.

"For the record, if she wanted to kill me, she had plenty of time too already. We were alone in the library for hours. No one would have suspected a thing." Harry pointed out.

Once I got to their area of the table, Harry waved for me to sit next to him, Hermione and, who I now know, Ronald on the other side.

"I can get your points. My father is horrific, but I'm not him. I honestly think you'd rather have a problem with me killing him, not Harry. Either way, I'm not him, I'm me. I'm Allison." I finished as I extended my hand to the boy.

Although he still looked quite skeptical, he accepted and shook my band.

"Ron Weasley. " The boy introduced.

"Oh my goodness! Your dad is Aurther Weasley right? He was the one conducting all those raids a few years ago! He really gave Lucius a run for his money, I mean your dad was so adamant that he was hiding some dark magic thing, and look at that, he was! That was a main thing that got Lucius sent to Azkaban. Serves him right!" I ranted about the scandals I had read about over the past summer.

"You know who my dad is? And you respect him?" He asked with more suspicion.

I nodded feverishly, excited to get to tell someone about all that I learned in the past.

"Never mind Harry, I trust her. Not a lot of people like dad, but the ones who, are almost always good." Ron said as he attempted to whisper to Harry.

"Ronald, you are not a very good whisperer." Hermione said smugly.

We all burst out laughing. I saw from the corner of my eye, my brother glaring at me, along with Draco and the other goon, whose name I still don't know. I was fine with that though.

I had a feeling I had found the only family I needed. The people that would accept me for me, not force me to be something I'm not. I was happy where I was, weather I was with or without my brother.

OMG! I've been gone for what feels like forever, but I'm back!!!!! I'm running low on ideas so comment any that you have!
