My Darling Girl

Beginning*

"Mum, I got everything., I promise" She smiles, well knowing that we indeed had everything in order, and ready for the cases to just be put into the train. Mum fixes my robes and I sigh but say nothing and smile at her. It was our first year at Hogwarts, and I couldn't be more excited to finally be apart of such an amazing school. Mum said that Hogwarts was a great experience for her and dad, all I hoped was for it to be the same amazing experience for me and my twin.

"Now, you have to take care of your sister, Draco." My mom reminds my brother as we begin to walk through the crowd of families who were saying goodbye to their children.

"Yes, mother." Draco grabs my hand, and we both wave to our parents before getting inside the train express. "Please try not to get in trouble, Belen." I let out a dry chuckle, making my brother just smirk at me, his eyebrow raised.  "Come on, I'm serious."

"I know you are, but what am I?" I smirk and he just rolls his eyes, his smirk gone and eyebrows now frowned.

"Don't start with the lame jokes." I pout and cross my arms across my chest. "What?'

"You're turning into dad, and that's no fun if I'm completely honest with you. What happened to I'm not going to be like him?" Just as Draco began to open his mouth, there's a small knock on the door and I look up. Not saying that dad wasn't a total downer, but he had his moments. Often, well before he disappeared, I suppose.

"Is there space here?" Two chubby guys ask, looking mostly at my brother, I look down at my robes and play with the sleeve.

"Yeah, two more actually." The two kids sit down, one on each side. I scoot a little so the one that sat next to me had enough space to spread his legs. I look at Draco, silently asking him to make one of them move, but all my intentions were useless.

"I'm Vincent Crabbe, and my friend, Gregory Goyle. You are?"

"Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, and that's my sister, Belen." Goyle smiles and shakes my hand.

"Where do you guys want to be sorted?" Crabbe asks, as the compartment silenced for even a brief second. Where did I want to be sorted? Ravenclaw? too smart for me, but wouldn't mind the change. Hufflepuff? Doesn't suit me quite well, but will probably change my attitude. Gryffindor? My parents will freak. I needed to be in Slytherin. I had too. Being pureblood, and daughter of a very powerful Malfoy, I felt like I had no other choice.

"Belen Malfoy." An elderly lady with a dark green dress and black witch hat, calls and looks around but at me. Mum told me her name was Professor McGonagall. I slowly walk towards the stage, and sit on the stool, the old sorting hat being placed in my head. I look over to my brother, as he waited to be sorted. He gives me a tight smile, and I look forward, right at the hall's giant doors.

"A Malfoy, I see. I remember when I sorted your parents, yes, but you are different from them."

what do you mean?

"You have much courage, yes, just like your mother. Determined to be a better person for yourself and others. a kind heart, a great leader, along with a strong soul. You are very clever, it seems but being in that one particular house will corrupt such mind... I know my choice." I hold my breath, and it yelled out the house that I was sorted into. I look at my brother with wide eyes, as the professor takes the old and mistaken hat from my head. I pass by Draco, who brushes his hand against mine as I make my way to the Gryffindor table.

"I'm Hermione Granger." A curly haired girl said, smiling at me. "That's Fred, George and Percy Weasley." I wave at them and look at my brother as he is sorted.
