(A/N- sorry I suck at updating. Decided on once a week. Every Sunday night. I promise! Here's the next chapter...)

Anna's P.O.V~

The rest of the train ride we sat there in silence. It was kinda awkward. I have never really had anyone call me pretty before. I mean sure Draco has told me I'm really pretty but I'm his twin so he was practically calling himself pretty too. And mum and dad have but there my parents so they can't really tell me I am not pretty.

Hearing from Harry was different. It was nice to be called pretty. Even if it was from some horrid half-blood idiot that deserves no credit whatsoever!

Anyway. We are now walking down the corridor past all the different compartments. Finding ourselves engulfed in a group of people we try to get out of the train and onto the busy platform.

Harry goes off and finds the Weasley boy while I make my way over to Draco. He hadn't seen me yet so I walked up behind him and scared him. It was so funny!

"Bella! You scared me," Draco shouted at me.

"Sorry...it...was so...funny...!" I told him between fits of laughter.

"So how's the plan going" Draco changed the subject.

"Perfect." I told him. It was true, it was going exactly as planned and I feel I am definitely getting into character.

"Good. Well go find him then. See you later." He said as he hugged me goodbye.

"Bye" I said as I hugged him back.

Just then a giant man with a bushy beard and long, matted hair shouted for all the first years to make their way over to him.

Draco went over with his two slaves and I went to go find Harry.

"Hey Anna." He greeted me.

"Hey." I replied, just as the giant told us to follow him into some boats that would take us up to the castle.

"Wanna grab a boat together?" Harry asked calmly.

"Yeah sure!" I agreed.

I have never seen the castle before so this will be interesting I think. I have seen it in books of course but never in person.

We got inside a boat and it took us across a lake. We turned a corner and we saw the castle.

It is beautiful! It has many towers and lots of Windows. It looks amazing and I can only imagine that it will be just as stunning on the inside.

The classes will be boring of course. I mean I already know some spells that father taught me. Like hexes and simple day to day spells.

Harry helped me out of the boat. I didn't say thank you because I was so busy staring at the castle in front of me.

A elderly lady with thin lips and a skinny face approached all the first years and started to tell us about what was about to happen.

I zoned out because I was bored and I already knew what was about to happen.

'We would enter the hall and get sorted into our houses then professor Dumbledore will give a speech then a feast will begin'. Mother has told us that a million times so we could be ready for it.

The other first years entered the hall looking nervous however I just entered with my head held high and didn't show any nerves. I noticed that Draco was doing the same.

"Abbot, Hannah" the lady who's name I must have missed read out from a scroll.

She must be the first one to get sorted.

"HUFFLEPUFF" the sorting hat shouted out. The sorting hat was an old hat that had patches missing and it could talk. It has been used for sorting for many years and has made very few mistakes.

I sort of went into a daydream for a while but tuned in to what was going on when I heard my name being called.

"Malfoy, Annabell" the lady read out.

Oh no. What if I get sorted into Gryffindor because of the plan. Or I might get into hufflepuff because I am dumb. Or ravenclaw, I will be with all the nerds. Hopefully I will get into Slytherin where I could already see Draco sitting giving me an encouraging smile. But Harry might hate me if I get into slytherin and he doesn't.

Oh poop. I look like an idiot and the whole school is staring at me because I have been standing here for a good five minutes lost in thought.

I shook my thoughts away and walked up to the stool on which the hat was on with pride. The lady placed it on my head as I sat down.

'Hmm another Malfoy. You are just like your brother. Evil, cunning, clever. But there is a side to you that you haven't realised yet. Maybe I could place you in Gryffindor...' The hat spoke inside my head.

I thought as hard as I could... NOT GRYFFINDOR.

'... Not Gryffindor eh. Interesting. Well the only other place to put you is...
SLYTHERIN' the hat told me. He said the last word out loud for the whole school to hear.

I scurried over to sit beside Draco.

Looking back at Harry I saw him with a face of shock and just a flash of disappointment. Awe was ickle Harry thinking I was a good person.

Oh well what a shame...

(A/N- sorry it's kind of short but it is only part one! Next one up tommorrow if possible! Love all of you!)
