The day finally came. The day I go to Hogwarts. The day I find out why my fourth-great-grandmother wanted to destroy the place. I hope I'll get a lot of answers.

I woke up to my parents screaming my name and to get ready. I brushed my teeth, did my skincare, put some clean clothes on and did my hair. I grabbed my trunk and dragged it downstairs and Isadora was on my shoulder like a little parrot.

Since we live in the middle of the fucking woods, we had to skip breakfast if we wanted to make it to Kings Cross Station on time. I was starving the drive there.

We then arrived outside the barrier and I hugged everyone goodbye. Once I went through the wall, I immediately saw Platform 9 3/4 and a bright red train with golden words that read;

'THE HOGWARTS EXPRESS'.

I felt a shiver go down my spine and I took a deep breath before entering the train. Isadora who was still on my shoulder jumped off and ran into an empty compartment. I closed the door and locked it so I could be left alone the entire ride.

I opened my trunk and grabbed one of the school books and starting reading it to catch up. That's when I heard knocking, sorry let me correct that pounding on the compartment door. I looked over to see three girls outside, one with gorgeous blonde hair, and two other beautiful brunettes. The three looked beautiful though. They looked like a flower field filled with the most beautiful roses.

"Excuse me, please let us in." said the blonde.

"Why?" I said sounding irritated.

"Because we just pranked our best friends and now they're coming for us." said one of the brunettes.

i scoffed and reluctantly unlocked the door. The three swung it open and slammed it shut before using a spell from their wand to lock it. After a few seconds, 5 boys came running and were panting while covered in silly string and a few with bright pink hair. I was almost on the floor laughing.

"Open this door Daphne Green-ass." said the boy with curly pink hair clearly angry.

"Nope." said the blonde girl. I'm gonna assume she's Daphne.

"Astoria. open. this. goddamn. door." he started to shout.

"Go away Mattheo, we're trying to talk." Said one of the brunettes who i'm guessing is Astoria and was nodding towards me. I don't think they have a clue who i am. That'll be a big mistake they'll make indeed.

I kept having my eyes on my book but I felt daggers going through my skull.

"Hello darling. Would you be a doll and open this door for us?" said a boy with dark fluffy brown hair and was wrapped around silly string. I didn't make eye contact with either of them, I just stared down at my book and said,

"No." a short yet simple answer. I heard the girls snort a bit and the boys scoffed. I then heard a whisper saying, "Let me try." and just as he was about to speak, I interrupted.

"Just before you ask that fucking question again, I suggest you find another compartment to go in before I stab each and everyone of you in the eyes." I was clearly irritated, and then one of them decided to play games.

"Oh, are you on your period, doll?" And the other boys laughed. That just got me more pissed, I looked up at them staring into each and one of them.

"You better leave now before I slice your fucking throats!" I shouted, clearly angry. The boys howled.

"And I don't think you know who you're talking to, love." said the boy with curly pink hair.

"Ok, 1. don't call me love unless you want to end up in a ditch. 2. it's hard to be intimidated by a guy covered with silly string and extremely bright pink hair." The boy laughed to himself, but had a bit of pink in his cheeks from embarrassment.

"I don't think you do, but let me tell you who you're talking to, then you might have a change of attitude. My names Mattheo Riddle." Riddle, Riddle. Omg, is he Voldemorts son? I was about to laugh. Well he clearly had his father's anger issues, that's for sure.

"Your father's name doesn't even make my hair stand up." I showed him my arm which was clearly calm. The Mattheo boy scoffed and took out his wand and was about to break the door, when some luck came by. Literally, the trolly lady came by and stopped him from the spell.

"Anything off the trolly dears?" she asked politely. One of them nicely shook their heads and said no thank you. He had no pink hair nor silly string.

"Alright." she said and continued pushing the trolly.

"This isn't over." he said. I sarcastically smiled and waved goodbye, desperately wanting them to leave. I saw the girls still here, they were laughing until they looked at me, and I had a serious face on. I nodded towards the door for them to leave and they reluctantly left. I closed the door as they left and continued reading my book.

What a fabulous start of the year, 5 boys hate and can barely tolerate me and 3 girls are probably either scared or hate me. Wonderful start of the year. I'm not being sarcastic, i'm generally being serious right now.

Once I finished reading all the books, (I actually read all of them and practiced my wand magic.) the train stopped. I grabbed my trunk and Isadora jumped on top of it, and I left the train. I saw a big scruffy man with knotted looking hair and beard he needs to maintain.

"Firs' years come over 'ere!" he shouted across the platform. I had zero clue where I was going so I just went with the first years. We canoed through what I read was the Black Lake and I saw the giant squid, and I wasn't the only one as some of the little children squealed in horror. I then heard a loud booming voice behind me say,

"Don' yeh worry, the Giant Squid's harmless." he reassured us. We then came across a giant brown castle at the top of a hill, and while many of the kids were in awe, I just looked at it un-amazed.

We made our way up the castle and came across a big brown olden door, and a women with a green velvet cloak and a black witch hat.

"Welcome to Hogwarts." She greeted us with a smile,

"The start-of-term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into your houses. The Sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts." she continued. All the children were excited. I just thought of my family. cruel and inhumane.

"You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory and spend free time in your house common room. The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin." she said the last one with a bit of disgust in her voice.

"Each house has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your house points, while any rule-breaking will lose house points." i smirked to myself knowing i will cause a lot of mischief.

"At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the House Cup, a great honour. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours. The Sorting Ceremony will take place in a few minutes in front of the rest of the school. I suggest you all smarten yourselves up as much as you can while you are waiting." she then went back into the Great Hall and the kids straightened their ties, collars, cloaks, hair, everything. Soon the woman came back and said,

"We're ready for you now." and the doors soon opened and revealed a Hall with four tables to represent the houses a ceiling which represented the night sky and a table at the front for the Professors.

I was about to enter when the woman stopped me and said.

"The Headmaster himself would like to introduce you at the end of the childrens sorting if it's alright with you, Ms.Malvada." When she said my name, I saw her shiver slightly. I had an evil grin and nodded. She went back inside and closed the doors.
