Chapter 1: The Sorting Hat

" Welcome everyone to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry I am Professor McGonagall I will be teaching Transfiguration. Please wait a few moments while I go announce your arrival to Professor Dumbledore." The professor says. "So it's true then? What they were saying on the train. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts." My brother Draco says walking up to a boy who looks like how they described Harry Potter. " This is Crabbe and Goyle and I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." He says and a boy with red hair laughs. "Do I need  to ask who you are red hair and hand me down robe must be a Weasley. As you can see some wizarding families are better then others you don't want to go making friends with the wrong kind join me and I can help you!"  He says. "No thanks I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself." Harry adds. "Wrong choice Potter." I roll my eyes and Draco walks back over to us. Professor McGonagall walks back into bring us into the Great Hall. As we're walking I sneak away from Draco long enough to apologise too Harry Potter. "My apologies for my brothers behavior I'm Delena Malfoy it is a pleasure to meet you Harry Potter." I say politely. "Apology forgiven it is nice to meet you too Delena Malfoy." He says smiling at me. "My apologies to you too. Please forgive me but I don't know your name." I say to the red head. "I'm Ronald Weasley." He says. "Once again please pardon my brother and my intrusion on your conversation but my brother was very much out of place to make such a rude comment about your family." I tell them "DELENA!" I turn to see Draco yelling at me. "Pardon me but I must go." I say walking back to my brother. "Father would beat the living Merlin out of you if he saw you being nice to a Weasley." Draco sneered. "Yes Draco." I say. "Go talk with Pansy about your girl stuff but mark my words stay away from Potter and Weasley." He says as we walk into the Great Hall I look above and around me astonished at the beauty and structure of the room. In the front I see a stool with a hat sitting on it. That is the hat that sorted my mother and father into Slytherin all those years ago. Suddenly it bursts into song.

"One thousand years ago this story starts
There were four sorcerers with strong and kind hearts
Bold Gryffindor from wild moor
Fair Ravenclaw from glen
Sweet Hufflepuff from valley broad
Shrewd Slytherin from fen
They had a dream to teach all that they knew
Witches and wizards came far and it grew
‘Til a castle stood tall by the shores of a lake
And a thousand years later the magic remains

(Chorus)
Old Hogwarts Sorting Hat sing me a song
Speak in my head tell me where I belong
And when things look bad and there’s no where to run
Unite all the houses and we’ll fight as one

Brave Godric Gryffindor favoured the strong
Those who had courage and knew right from wrong
And Rowena Ravenclaw taught only the best
So kind Helga Hufflepuff would teach all the rest
But Salazar Slytherin had is own plans
He thought the Muggle-borns didn’t understand
The subtleties of magic and so he devised
The Chamber of Secrets with a monster inside

Unite all the houses and we’ll fight as one."

" Susan Bones." Professor McGonagall calls out. "Hufflepuff!" The sorting hat calls I zone out until I hear her call Draco the hat barely touched his head before making it's decision. "Slytherin." It yells. "Next up Delena Malfoy." Professor McGonagall yells I walk up slowly and she helps me on to the stool. "Thank you." I tell her before she places the hat on my head. "Hum lets see you are very kind, but also very smart, very brave but also cunning and ambitious better be SLYTHERIN!" I sigh and look over at the slytherin table who are clapping exceptionally loud. "Hermione Granger!" She says and I'm watching very closely. "Gryffindor." I clap for her. "Ronald Weasley!" She said and the red haired boy walks up to sit down and the hat seems to be thinking. "Gryffindor!" It yells. "Harry Potter." I lean forward waiting. "Gryffindor!" It yells and I clap. After another thirty minutes there is one person left. "Blaise Zabini." He's been my brothers friend forever but to be honest I never really liked him. "Slytherin!" The hat yells I turn to meet a pair of emerald green eyes looking at my light grey ones. He smiles at me and I smile back at him then Blaise puts his arm around me and I roll my eyes. "What do you want Blaise?" I ask and he looks hurt. "Come on Love aren't you happy I'm in Slytherin?" He asks. "No not really !" I say trying to bite his hand. "And don't call me love. When I am old enough to date. It will not be you." I say and he laughs. This is going to be a interesting year.
