Once upon a Hogwarts

Chapter 3: 'What?!'

I was in the boat with Hagrid. He started the coversation: "So you're Diggory's little sister?" "Well, I won't say little, he is only a year older." "Oh, sorry. I tought that you're in first year now... So you're going to 3rd year, huh? That's nice."

We talked, until we came and he yelled to all the new students: "OK, there I'll leave you with professor McGonagall!" Then he turned to me and said: "See you later, y/n" I smiled and then he went in the Great hall, me and irst years had to listen about four houses and blah blah blah... Don't take me wrong, I like professor McGonagall, but I already knew all this.

Then we finally came in the Great hall and the sorting ceremony had started. I came up as one of the last students. When I sat down a lot of thoughts crawled up into my mind: 'What if I get sorted into sltherin? Will Cedric be mad?' 

Then I heard the Sorting hat's voice: "Hmm... Interesting. Very interesting... Ambitious, brave, loyal and smart. This is hard, really hard decision..." I was waiting to sorting hat to say something and then saw all the boys from Diagon Alley at the slytherin table. I saw Harry and Ron too, but someone at the slytherin table caught my eye.

It was Mattheo and he was smiling at me. I smile back and then I heard from the hat: "Better be... SLYTHERIN!" Crap. "RAVENCLAW!" What the... Mattheo gave me confused look. I looked around the hall and everybody stared at me. I felt embarassed. Professor McGonagall took the hat away and said: "Come dear, we have to talk about that."

We went into an empty classroom and she said to me: "Do you know why the hat has just chosen like this?" "I have no idea, professor," I said back. She shaked her head and said: "That has never happened before... You'll have to choose by yourself: ravenclaw or slytherin?" "Uhhh... I don't know..." "It's ok my dear. You have time. You'll be in both of houses, each for one week. And then you'll choose."

I was thankful that McGonagall unerstood me. I went to my brother's table and there he asked: "What was that y/n?" "I don't know! McGonagall gave me the chance that I try both of houses and then say, in which I'm staying..." "Why didn't you just say ravenclaw? I tought you hated slytherin," Cedric interrupted me. "I know," I defended myself, "but I wanna give the chance to both of houses."

Dinner went normally except Hrmione, Harry and Ron asking same questions as Cedric. I gave them same answers and then we talked for a bit, until we had to go to our dormitories. I didn't knew, where I have to go, so I waited for anyone who could tell me, in which house I'm starting. When I was the only student sitting, professor Snape came to me and said: "Miss y/n, this week you're in slytherin house. Come with me."

I followed Snape into Hogwarts' dungeons. He stopped in front of the painting and said: "Poison." 'Ha, 100% slytherin password...' I tought to myself. Then the painting swung on the side and we stepped into a large common room. Snape said just: "Enjoy the evening, miss Diggory" and left me all alone in the common room, full of unknown slytherins.

'We will see, how much I'll actually enjoy...' I sarted to search Mattheo, Pan, or anyone, who will help me. Even Draco or Tom'll be good. Well... Not Tom. He'll probably kill me in less than 5 seconds.

And guess who I saw first.

He was standing near the fireplace and playing with his wand between his fingers.

Tom f*cking Riddle. He spotted me and started walking in my direction. F*ck... I thought to myself. I wanted to run away, but there were too many people, so I couldn't. He reached me and said where are you going Diggory? I froze on the place and slowly turned around to se him towering over me. Now I just said: "Ok, I'm sorry. I shouldn't bumped in you," beacuse I didn't want any problems with him anymore.

He smirked at me and said: "Finally. Bur I won't say that I didn't expect that. It was just amount of time..." I rolled my eyes and went to find Mattheo or anyone who I could know. Instead of that, one boy asked me: "Lost? I can help you with that."

He was taller than me, with brown, curly hair. "Thanks," I responded and added: "Do you know Mattheo Riddle?" He smiled and said: "If I know him? He is my bestfriend. What's your name, by the way?" "I'm y/n Diggory. You?"

He chuckled: "Well y/n, Mattheo told everyone about you. And I'm Theodore Nott." 'Nott? So in slytherin are all rich families?' I actually didn't know that Notts had any kids. "Can you now lead me to your friend group? I would like to meet more people," I said, hoping that he'll say yes.

"Of course, come with me..." he said and I followed him to the fireplace. There I saw two slytherins that I don't know, but others were Malfoy, Pan, Tom and Mattheo. I hoped that they won't mind if I'm here.

A/n: Hi, I just wanted to say that if you read first two chapters and author's note before 16th of September, please read it again, I changed some things.
