Chapter 3 :DDD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Albus's POV)

It was the end of the sorting ceremony and now the banquent started. Everyone was enjoying the delicious food and chattig away with their friends or the new comers to their houses. 

I glanced over at Gryffindor house and like I suspected they were all over Ivy. She seemed to enjoy it over there. They seemed really nice and most of the guys compliment her every 5 seconds.

I glanced at Ravenclaw table and Rose looked happily engaged in conversation with whoever she was talking to.

I, on the othe hand, sat at my table miserable. I smiled and nodded to the other Slytherin students that congradulated me and talked to me butthat was just out of kidness. I was seriously bummed out about not making Gryffindor. I know my father said he wouldn't care what house I belonged to but it was unfair. I found  a reason to get into Gryffindor and I get cheated by a bloody hat!

What did he even mean by, "Let's see how this turns out?" What is he trying to see? A poor 1st year cry, because if so he'll get it. Bloody hat!

I caught sight of Scorpious at the end of the table. He looked bored. He said a few things to those who spoke to him but that was it. Did he not want to go into Slytherin either? I feel you mate. I feel your pain.

Pretty soon the banquet was over and it was time to head off to our rooms. I tried to catch up with Ivy and tell her goodnight but she went off walking with Lacey and some other girl. Guess I'll see her in the morning.

I walked with the other Slytherins until we reached our common room. We were directed towards our rooms and I headed straight for mine. I didn't want people trying to talk to me while I'm in my depressed state.

I found my rooma and plopped on my bed. I closed my eyes and lay there thinking about my plans for tomorrow. Hopefully I have some classes with Ivy.

Suddenly I heard the door open and some one land on the bed across from mine. I opened one eye and turned to find it was Scorpius. So we share room together. Oh fun.

He just layed on his bed, his arms behind his head, and closed his eyes as I did before. Great I think we're going to be best friends already.

"I'm Albus, Albus Potter." I said returning to my peaceful state and closing my eyes.

"Scorpius Malfoy." he replied after a while.

Yep I can already tell we're going to get along great.

"Sorry about you not getting the same house as that girl."

Scratch that! Not friends. NOT friends.

"What?" I asked turning to look at him again.

He did the same ,looking at me, and raised an eyebrow.

"You thought no one would notice you staring at her during supper?"

"Well no.."

He smiled and turned back, closing his eyes again. "My apologies, but you should give up."

I narrowed my eyes at him. "Why would I do that?" don't tell me he's got a crush on her now too! For the love of Merlin!!

"Gryffindor's and Slyttherins can barely stand each other. A relationship between the two, especially a romatic one is impossible. She'll just fall for a Gryffindor, namely your brother, and live happily ever after. You on the other hand will become cruel and settle for a Slytherin witch."
