Chapter 6
Finally after hours on that train I'm finally here as I get off the train I am greeted by a very large but friendly looking man. "hello and you must be Ariella. My name is hagrid I am groundskeeper here at Hogwarts and I have been informed to collect you and take you to the headmaster before going to see the sorting and the feast" he says smiling widely. I smile a genuine smile for once. I can already tell I'm going to like him at least he wasn't cold or rude or think of me as a pest. it was about a mile to the castle and when we finally got there I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. Not to mention is was enormous and I was sure to get lost in its many walls and I couldn't help but smile to myself. And once we were inside i was speechless. There were many paintings and stair cases. It was amazing and had a very medieval look. We walked for some time until we reached the end of a hall hagrid had said some thing but it was just hushed. We walked up the stairs that had appeared and reached an office that was very cluttered but in a tasteful way. It was very quite except the sound of very loud clocks. "ahh miss Ariella I have heard a lot about you and to be able to finally put a face to the name, splendid" said a very old looking man with a long white beard. " I am the headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, most of our students are sorted into one of four houses, but as it has been pointed out you are not a normal student. Therefore you are not to be sorted and you may wear your normal clothes to classes. Now professor Snape has told me all about your situation and how you will be sitting in on classes." really he told him what was going to happen at Christmas or did he just tell him about my classes.. I must have had a very confused look on my face because dumbledore asked what was bothering me. I lied of course by saying nothing but I could tell he saw right through it but I was thankful that he didn't ask any questions. " well classes start tomorrow, breakfast starts at 7 and ends at 9 that is where you will receive your time table. Now off to the feast" I myself didn't really feel up to sitting with a bunch of people I probably would end up not liking and I certainly didn't feel like eating. But nodded anyways. Once in the great hall I could feel everyone's eyes on me as soon as I walked in dumbledore just walked to the front with to the other teachers. I sat down at a random table and saw a boy with very blonde hair, he was there with the dark lord. He looked at me and as soon as our eyes met he looked away. Weird I thought. Dumbledore talked and told everyone who I was and that I wasn't going to be sorted. Everyone looked at me until he stopped talking about me, which wasn't that long and I was thankful. After the awkwardness of having everyone stare at me ended I tuned out everything else. After the feast was over everyone was told to go back to their "common room" I stayed behind not knowing where to go. Dumbledore came with Severus and told me I was to stay in a room next to severus'. Great I thought I'm never getting away from him. We walked to what is to be my room and dumbledore wasnt lying when he said next I Severus. We walked to a door that opened to a stair case that had two doors at the top one being his and the other was to be mine. I stood there shocked and Severus pushed past me and walked into his room and slammed the door. Great. I walked up to my room and opened the door to find a beautiful room of green silver and black. I took everything in from the tall bed to the desk in the corner to the small windows that looked out to the lake I had seen coming up to the castle. I looked at my bed noticing all my things where there. After putting everything in it place it was now about 1 a.m. I changed clothes and laid down and as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out.
