Bella didn't know what came up with her, but she knew that she didn't trust the people that came up to her unless they were teachers — or in this case professors. She knew terribly well that if she were to be placed in Slytherin House, she would be very well protected by Draco. She didn’t understand why people had to be placed into house from their personality.

Professor McGonagall lined Bella up among the first years even though she is going to enter her fifth year. Nervously Bella stepped forwards, and sat on the stood where that ugly little old hat was placed on her head. Being clever, slick, brave, smart, loyal, and caring there was no way that the sorting hat could choose just one house for her.

The hat was talking to Bella in her head, deciding where to put her. Ahh… you would do great in Slytherin and Gryffindor. But then you would also be able to go into Hufflepuff. I sensed that you were not one of us, the moment I was placed on your head. You are like no other wizard, but you have to make sure you don’t use that kind of magic inside the castle if you are up to hurt someone. Go outside if you must, but no hurting others in the process. Oh no, I’m starting to sound like a teacher. Well, you will go in… Gryffindor!

The Gryffindor table applauded Bella as she walked towards it. She had wanted to be in Slytherin, where the man she cared for and trust was staring a her with a sad look in his eyes. What could she do though, the choice was made, and she was surrounded but the bravest of the brave.

Bella looked at the girl sitting beside her, she had wavy hair the length of just below her shoulders. The young man next to her had dark hair and was wear glasses, he also had a lightening shaped scar on his forehead. Across from that young man was another young man that had red hair. Bella was startled when the girl with wavy hair turned to her, and said, ”Hello Bella, nice to meet you. My name is Hermione.” Bella’s heart was pounding, but she knew it was polite to answer. “Good day, Hermione,” Bella replied.

Bella wasn’t paying any attention to the first years that were being place in their houses, but what she was really paying attention to was the fact that Draco was still starring at her. It was weird, but when she felt so empty, she just thought about the time when Draco and herself were racing up the obstacle course. 

“May I ask what your names may be?” Bella asked the two young men. They looked at her in awe, and answered “Harry Potter — the boy who lived, and Ron Weasley.” Bella looked at Harry in a way the couldn’t be described. Could it have been worry, confusion, or even happiness? It was awhile until the last first year was settled down in his own house, but the wait was completely necessary. 

An elderly man walked up to the podium getting ready to do a speech for all the students in the school. He scanned the room, and laded his eyes on Bella, before starting the speech. 

“Welcome back to another eventful year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I want to say my thanks to the wonderful new students that have joined this year, and express my gratitude. It was also brought to my attention that there is a young fairy that has joined us this evening.” Everyone’s eyes were wandering around the room, and Bella trying to act like she was one of them looked around as well. “So at the end of the evening I would like everyone to head off to their house common rooms lead by each house’s prefect. Have a great feast, and please make sure not to overwhelm anyone tonight… Oh my sincerest apologies, There is a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher this year. Her name is Dolores Umbridge.” Everyone started to clap, and the food was starting to appear on the plates, but then Professor Umbridge got up to say a few words. “To my dearest students, I am from the Ministry of Magic and I will ask= for your respect. We will have new rules, and almost everything in the school will be changed. I hope that you have a great evening and seven day break, but next week the real work is going to be given to everyone. Oh… and Bella Headmaster Dumbledore would like to see you after the feast.” 

The food appeared on the table finally, everyone out of hunger grabbed everything in their path. Bella just sat there, she wasn’t hungry, and she didn’t feel like eating. She excused herself from the table, and walked outside for a bit of fresh air. That Umbridge was being so rude and unfair. There couldn’t have been a better teacher, she was just so ill prepared to care for the students in this school. Bella stepped out of the castle, she knew that her boiling rage would come out as something bad, and if it was to be fire, she wouldn’t be in trouble for burning down the school.

It was just about twenty minutes until midnight, and Bella was still outside. The breeze was getting colder, and she began to shiver. Why couldn’t she have gotten in Slytherin, the only thing — or in this case person that flashed through her mind was Draco. Well, it was getting a bit chillier than usual, so Bella decided to go back into the castle. The feast was still going on, but when she got there she saw that the Headmaster wasn’t sitting in his seat. Looking around, she saw his familiar pale blue robes around the corner. Bella feeling so secure followed the silk like robe that was dragging along the floor behind the Headmaster.

Turning through halls, climbing moving stairs, and saying ‘lemon juice’ to a gargoyle to allow her to enter the Headmaster’s office was just the beginning of the most adventurous year Bella would ever have. It was just a sensation that told Bella everything about this year being terrible, but at the same time great.

She walked into the office after the Headmaster, and sat down on the chair across from him. She wanted to tell him that she had been following him up here, but he just placed a finger to his lips telling her to stay quiet. “Bella, being the most powerful fairy, you must be careful. This isn’t the reason I’ve brought you here though, I needed to give you your schedule and tell you that there is a bad evil in this world that will harm you if you try to protest with it. I’m not talking about any teachers, but you still have to watch out no matter what,” he said.

Bella nodded, and looked down at her schedule. She had all her classes with Harry, Ron, and Hermione, but she was wondering about Draco still. Taking her schedule, she walked out of the Headmaster’s office, and rushed down to the Great Hall. Everyone was lining up to head back to their common rooms, and Bella searched throughout the crowd for Draco, but he was nowhere to be found. She finally just gave up, and walked straight for Harry, Ron, and Hermione. 

Ron and Hermione were the Head Boy and Head Girl of Gryffindor House. Bella followed them through the castle, and walked through many different halls and climbed many different kinds of moving stairs. When They finally reached the Gryffindor Common Room, Ron said the password, and the portrait swung open allowing them to file into the rooms. WOW! Girls and boys were separated really how nice.

Bella went up to the fifth year girl dormitories, and looked around for her stuff. When she finally found her things, she unpacked her pale pink silk nightgown, stripped off her clothing, and pulled on her nightgown. After being away from her family for so long, she actually started to miss them. 

She was settled down by the time the three other girls arrived. Hermione, a girl with long red hair exactly like Ron’s, and a girl with long crazy curly light brown hair. “Hello girls,” Bella said, sitting up in her bed. The girls greeted Bella, and introduced themselves. Looks like the girl with long red hair was Ron’s younger sister — Ginny Weasley, and the girl curly long hair was named Lavender Brown.

They all got dressed for bed, and decided that an early sleep was most needed. Bella half asleep already, didn’t protest about the sleeping early thing, she actually welcomed it.

A/N: 

I’m so sorry for the long wait, but I didn’t see more than three comments. I just didn’t want to keep you all waiting longer than you needed to just to read another chapter. Do you guys like this book? Should I just stop writing it? 

I want you to answer the following questions in the comments below or private message me your answers.

Can you give me two or more reasons why Bella was placed in Gryffindor instead of Slytehrin? Will Bella become part of the Golden Trio and make it a Golden Quartet? Or will Bella become part of the Silver Trio and make it a Silver Quartet?

If I get at least ten comment or/and private messages I will post another chapter! I will try to post within two weeks, so I will need your answers before I post the 9th chapter. Please I would also like it if you gave me more ideas, but ones that don’t involve kill anyone.

Please vote and fan me! :)
