Poisoned Promises

4: Crushing

•Alessia•

A rather annoyed Draco sat beside Jeremy, scowling and looking anywhere but my direction. Jeremy however looked the complete opposite, meeting my eyes from the Slytherin table and giving me a thumbs up.

The train ride here had been very interesting. It was just Jeremy and I, and we spent our time talking and eating, and just generally having a good time.

What had shocked me the most was that I was so comfortable around Jeremy for some strange reason and I didn't know why.

Normally I was afraid to even talk to someone of the same gender not to mention this hot boy I was currently hanging with!

He was a rather gorgeous sight for the eyes. He was tall and built, you could see his biceps and pecs through his dark green shirt he wore.

His deep brown eyes were so entrancing, making me want to melt into a puddle and get lost in them.

So again, why wasn't I all tongue tied and tripping over myself trying to converse with him?

I shrug to myself. Who knew?

I smiled back at Jeremy and when Draco looked over I blew him a kiss and did a little wave to which he rolled his eyes and his lips started moving, probably wanting to Jeremy all the cuss words and hexes he'd cast upon me.

I could see Jeremy howling with laughter at this and I was so caught up with watching them two I didn't even notice I was about to be called next for the sorting hat until...

"ALESSIA CAMILLA GRANGER?"

I jumped on the spot, causing a few snickers, but I collected myself and walked up to where the hat sat.

Hee hee. It rhymed.

Focus Alessia! My brain snapped at me.

Alright alright! I was just having a bit of fun but I'm done- lol I did it again!

I swear-

You swear what?

Hey! I shouted at my thoughts. Can we not have an unrealistic argument in my head right now? THANK YOU

Sure no problem

Peace out

I sigh at myself for being weird and sit upon the stool.

Hmmmm very interesting

"What the-" I whisper, looking up at the hat.

Yes I can talk, I am the sorting hat after all

"So cool!" I grinned.

Now, where to place you? Ahh I see you possess great talent and have the drive to get things done, but I can tell you prefer to leave certain matters to the last minute hmm?

"Pretty much," I admit

Well then Ravenclaw could suit you, but it isn't the best choice...Hufflepuff?

"Um, please no," I said, suddenly scared I'd be put there.

Why does everyone say that? Hufflepuffs aren't dim or anything! They are kind hearted folk who do the right thing...

"Can't I be in Slytherin with my first real friend I've made?" I ask politely.

I see you value friendship...Gryffindor seems doable...

"Just great," I sigh but then:

"BETTER BE A.....GRYFFINDOR!"

"You know I'd actually thought there'd be a plot twist and I'd get slytherin," I mumble and the hat is taken off my head.
