The words exploded in her ears. Gryffindor. A Malfoy was a Gryffindor. She would be a disgrace to her father, it would be another excuse for him to hate her. She had let her mother down , it would be so much easier for Jane to be a slytherin, Narcissa would have to deal with Lucius’s outrage. Draco would he even associate himself with her? Would he just ignore her? Would he bully her or had she just made his life a lot harder , having a Gryffindor as a sister would this just subject him to taunting , and Blaise would he ever talk to her again , how could they ever be friends with him and his family having such high views and prejudices.
The whole hall was silent, the usual applause that came with the sorting was non existent , no one knew what to do , even some of the teachers looked puzzled. Then a loud clap broke the eerie silence, Jane turned around to see a man with a long white beard who she presumed was Professor Dumbledore clapping and smiling, soon all the staff joined in and the clapping soon built up . Jane eyes searched for her brothers, his grey eyes looked shocked but he looked at her and smiled, this brought a heavy weight off her shoulders she knew she had Draco. Professor McGonagall said to her “Go and sit with your house dear.” Jane nervously walked down the stone steps to the Gryffindor table and watched the rest of the sorting.
Once the last student had been sorted, Professor Dumbledore welcomed them and then said something that created a more tense atmosphere in the great hall “ As you will all be aware after their search on the Hogwarts Express, our school is currently playing host to some of the Dementors of Azkaban , who are here on ministry business” a sea of whispers soon broke in the hall , most people seem scared and curious. To Jane they were just another bad thing in the world that were only powerful because they cause fear. He then went on to say how you should not give a dementor any reason to harm you and that it is not in their nature to be forgiving, Jane almost sniggered it was as if Dumbledore had given a description of her father. He then on a lighter note informed of new staff changes he then finished with “ Well, I think that’s everything of importance , let the feast begin !” Suddenly the tables filled with every food possible Jane thought the house elves at the manor were good , she then felt a pain in her stomach as she remembered Dobby her beloved house elf had been set free by Harry Potter . She missed the elf even though it was better for him to be free as he had always wished. She wasn’t eating very much , she couldn’t, she had to find Draco and she needed him to tell her that everything would be ok. The whole hall was a mix of noise ; laughter, talking and the clattering of cutlery . She looked down the table everyone was laughing and giggling, catching up with friends. This is what she had expected , what she had wanted from coming to Hogwarts, she had only two friends, maybe one now. People everywhere were giving her dirty looks, some looked suspicious and she heard whispers of “ what’s she doing in Gryffindor?” or “I bet she’s a spy”, “Do you think she’s meaner than her brother?” and some even looked scared off her and flinched away. The plates soon disappeared much to Jane’s pleasure and Dumbledore told them it was time for bed. She heard the prefect saying “new students follow me.” Jane took this as her chance to find her brother , she saw his silvery hair and walked to him where he was surrounded by his followers , they all gave Jane dirty looks even the Pansy girl who wanted to be her best friend earlier looked at her like she was a piece of rubbish “oh look every one it’s the blood traitor” the pug faced girl leered. Draco’s head snapped around and his eyes connected with hers and he could tell she just wanted to run away, he took her hand and pulled her into a small corner of a corridor where she broke into tears and clung onto her brother “Hey, hey it’s ok” he said soothingly stroking her hair “Why are you being nice to me , everyone else hates me?”
“Because you’re my baby sister and I love you and I’m going to support you no matter what , and not everyone hates you”
“Oh who doesn’t?” she asked sarcastically
