His Slytherin Game

CHAPTER ONE

Quick note : this chapter is mainly here to introduce Raelin and how she got into Hogwarts. That's why it moves quite fast. The other chapters are more descriptive and have more plot.
To me Raelin is about 5f 5 with long ginger-brown hair and dark blue eyes but I don't really like to go into much detail about how characters look because I think it's better when people can imagine them for themselves.
I hope you like it xx

I was astatic the day I got my letter. Before it even arrived I felt that the day was special. And then it came, an envelope the colour of a washed out cream with the Hogwarts stamp to seal it shut and my address written on the front in emerald green Inc.

Inside read : Dear Ms. Forwards,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
It is with deep regret and that we only became aware of your abilities this summer and not at the time of when you should have started in our first year.
As you are now 15 you will be starting in our schools fifth years and joining the other 15 - 16 year old boys and girls.
Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on 1 September.

On the list of needed equipment I found the most bizarre objects ; a wand, owl or cat or rodant, ect

I wasn't even sure if the letter was a hoax or not, but my heart was telling me it was the real deal so I showed my parents and they seemed so pleased and excited for me. I was worried that they would just tell me to get rid of the letter.

On the 1st of September my parents took me the Kings Cross Station where I met a tall man with a very large coat that had many pockets, and a beard which put the length of my hair to shame (my hair comes down to the middle of my back). He said his name was Hagrid and that he was half man and half giant - no figure.

Saying goodbye to my parents with a hug and a kiss and a promise to write to them, I left with Hagrid and he took me to a place in London I'd never heard of, Diagon Ally. Here I bought all the essential items from the list that my parents were unable to buy me in 'muggle shops' as Hagrid called them. Being completely in the dark I asked him what that ment, he told how it was what magic users called humans, I told him how I didn't like it and that it sounded like an insult, he then reasured me it wasn't and said that even if I didn't like it I'd have to get used to it because that's what everyboby calls them.

When I was ready to go to the station and board my train Hagrid said he'd make sure to show me onto the platform so that I didn't get confused. However, when he told me to run at a brick wall I was completely and utterly confused.
"NO!" I said, a hint of fear in my voice
He told me to trust him and then he ran at the wall and went straight through it. I was convinced! I was crazy and none of this was real!
But when i tried I ended up completely fine, all limbs intact, and on platform.. Platform.. Platform 9 3/4? What? Hmm okay I guess I'll just have to roll with that. There's no way I can roll with everything that happened in the last couple of months and not be able to role with that (even if it does bug me a little, like why do they have to be so extra for???).

Once I was seated on the train I noticed that everyone must already know eachother and the the fact dawned on me that I would be 'the new girl', this frightened me a little, I wasn't very good with people but I hoped that the new arrivalls of the first years would distract the attention from me.

However, no one sat with me on the train. No one walked with me into the school. No one showed me where to go. I know I said I didn't want too much attention but a guide would be nice.

I ended up with a teacher, Professor Mcgonagall and she told me that I would be part of the Hufflepuff House. This was complely fine by me, Hagrid had told me all about the different houses.

Agian, no one chose to sit with me in the grand hall and i was stuck in between a nice boy with short blond fluffy hair and glasses with a thick black frame and a girl with a brunette bob that didn't quite suit her as her neck was a little too long and her face not quite round enough, she didn't talk much.

After the the first years were all sorted in to thier houses and we had all eaten from the great feast of food that appeared in front of us as if by magic - oh yeah, I still can't believe this is all real - I followed the head girl of Hufflepuff to our dormitory and found all my stuff had already been taken inside and put near my bed.

I couldn't wait to get started with classes tomorrow.
