Primrose Evlan Snape (new version)

The Sorting

The door finally opened to reveal McGonagall wearing emerald robes with a black pointed hat slightly to the side of her head.

"Thank you, Hagrid. I will take them from here."

We followed Professor McGonagall across the stone floor. I could hear the drone of hundreds of voices from a doorway to the right -the rest of the school must already be here -- but Professor McGonagall showed us all into a small, empty chamber off the hall. We crowded in, standing closer together than we would usually have done, peering about nervously.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," said Professor McGonagall. "The start-of-term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into your houses. The Sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts. You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory, and spend free time in your house common room.The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each house has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your house points, while any rulebreaking will lose house points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup, a great honor. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours." She said eyeing us all before she continued with her little speech.

"The Sorting Ceremony will take place in a few minutes in front of the rest of the school. I suggest you all smarten yourselves up as much as you can while you are waiting." Did she say in front of the rest of the school like the whole school? I felt slightly dizzy as if the walls were slowly closing in on me. I took slow steady breathes as i reasured myself that the tales of the sorting where a myth. One boy had said earlier that you had to fight a troll and I don't know why but I feel I would probably lose that fight. What would Snape think? He'd probably think I was as useless as my father told me I was. I shock my head ridding my head of such thoughts and listened to what McGonagall was still saying."We will be ready for you shortly." She informed before leaving us.

Mutters and whispers erupted as soon as her emrald figure had dissapeared out of sight. I seen the pale boy from earlier step to the front his eyes focussed not on me but on the person in front.

"It's true then, what they're saying on the train. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts." He said as people started to muttered "Harry Potter" with either confusion or amazement every eye feel on Harry who was stood almost in front of me. "This is Crabbe, and Goyle and I'm Malfoy...Draco Malfoy." Draco! so that's what his name is strange name I thought as I heard the red head next to Harry snicker at his name. Draco turned and glared at him a look of hatred formed on his features as he looked at him. "Think my name's funny, do you? No need to ask yours. Red hair, and a hand me down robe? You must be a Weasley." He spat "We'll soon find that some wizarding families are better than others, Potter. Don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there." He smirked extending his hand in front of him indicating he should shake it, but Harry just stared back at him.

"Hey leave him alone" I shouted without realising. What's wrong with me? "Keep your mouth shut Primrose only speak when spoken to" my fathers cold voice warned in my head sending shivers down my spine.

"Sorry I don't remember anyone asking your opinion pretty face." I'm sure everyone that was watching was fixed on us, not even the first day and there was already going to be a fight. I just stood not sure whether to glare back at him or crawl into a hole and never come out.

"Shove off Malfoy" I heard the fimiular voice of Drew call as he came and stood next to me. "Leave them alone or I'll tell your precious father you were put in Hufflepuff"
