Bella Narcissa Malfoy

The sorting hat

Bella, Lily and Starla all stood with the rest of the 1st years outside the great hall and were talking excitedly. A group of girls were laughing about the ginger hair of Lily and Bella stood in front of her.

"Leave her alone." She said. The girls looked shocked and one took out her wand. She pointed it at Bella.

"Move aside blondie." She said, insulting Bella like she had Lily. Bella's hair was the same shade as Draco's, almost white.

"I know curses that you could only dream of." She quipped back, she wasn't lying. She had listened to her dad's stories about all the terrible curses she should never use unless told by a teacher. Such curses included, Crucio, Avada Kedavra, Imperio and of course the worst of all, Sectumsempra.

"Like what?" The girl sneered. Luckily Bella didn't have to answer as Professor Longbottom (Starla's dad/ The herbology teacher/deputy head) came over and told them to be quiet.

He opened the door before walking them forward. He stood next to the stool with the sorting hat on it and winked at Starla.

Soon the names were being called. The girl from before was put into Ravenclaw with her two friends. Then Starla was called.

"Longbottom, Starla." I looked over at her and she smiled at me before walking up. After smiling at her dad she took a seat and the hat was put on her head.

It thought for a moment before shouting out "Gryffindor!" She smiled and made her way over to Rose and sat next to her.

"Potter, Lily." Lily walked up, Smiled at her dad who was by the Gryffindor table since he was the head of that house.

"Hmm... a Potter," the hat spoke his thoughts, "but I can sense there it something different about you from your family. SLYTHERIN!" It exclaimed, quite proud of its self. Everyone was shocked but Lily just walked over to the Slytherin table. There was only Bella and one other boy left.

"Zabini, Drake." Bella knew him from when they were babies and their fathers were friends, Drake's dad, Blaise stopped coming when he realised who Laura was, a Muggle.

"Ravenclaw!" The hat shouted. Now it was Bella's turn. When her name was called and few people gasped. Probably thinking that one Malfoy was enough. Despite that Bella walked up to the stool remembering what Draco had said.

"Hmmm... you're a tough one. Unlike your family. I think I will go with tradition, Slytherin!" Bella was kinda happy and she smiled at Lily who had saved her a seat just in case.

"Starla's by herself." She pointed her out to Lily. And then Lily pointed to the girl next to Starla. They were talking and laughing.

"I think she'll be fine." She giggled, taking a piece of chicken from the try in front of her. That's when Bella realised that everyone was eating already. For some reason she could feel someone watching her, it was Harry Potter, perhaps he was watching his daughter. Bella didn't know but something made her want to find out.
