Prequel to the Drew Grindelwald series

Hogwarts - Year Four

Drew had spent the entire trip from America back to Scotland in silence. She managed to hold back all tears but all she could think about was Tina.

Albus sent her a few worried glances and even tried to talk to her but quickly gave up after he realized Drew really wouldn't talk to him.

Once at Hogwarts Drew wasn't even impressed by the view. She'd always wanted to visit Hogwarts and as a kid, she even wanted to go and study here one day but right now she didn't care.
It all didn't matter, she'd soon go back to Ilvermorny and make Tina remember her. Hogwarts was something temporary.                     

 She followed Albus through the hallways, they passed students along the way, all wearing their house colors. They sent Drew confused and curious glances as she was the only teenager not wearing house colors, hell she wasn't even wearing normal student clothes. 

Everyone could see from a mile away that she was wearing clothes representing Ilvermorny, most importantly her house, the Thunderbirds.

But Drew didn't care that everyone stared at her. They entered a new room, it was small and filled with many books and old antiques. Albus ordered Drew to sit down on a chair that was sitting in front of a dusty old desk.

Drew did what she was asked. Albus grabbed an old hat from one of the shelves. He turned towards Drew handing it to her.                                                                                                                                       She grabbed it from him and looked at it, frowning. Suddenly a face came to life inside the head.   

"Who woke me?" an old loud voice called out. It came from the hat. Drew nearly dropped it but managed to just hold on to it.             

 "You need to give Drew Grindelwald a house here" Albus explained to the hat, but Drew knew it had also been an explanation to her. Now she was going to go to Hogwarts she would get a new house. They didn't have the Thunderbirds house here at Hogwarts. They only had Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. None of which Drew was familiar with.                                          

 "Ah a newcomer, well let me see then" the low voice called out. Albus gave a nod towards the hat. Drew gulped before she carefully put the hat onto her head. She immediately felt it move as if it was trying to settle in.  

"Interesting hmm" the voice rumbled seemingly deep in thoughts.                                                              

 "I haven't had one this fascinating in a while" the voice continued. Drew felt it wobble some more.                                                                                                                                                                                            

 "I like fascinating ones but that makes the choice more difficult" Drew felt it slowly starting to settle down. After a few seconds, it stopped moving.  

"Slytherin!" The voice called out enthusiastically.                                                                                                  

"Thank you," Albus said before he took the hat off Drew's head and placed it back onto the shelf.  

"Alright then" Albus clasped his hands together as he turned back to Drew.                                              

 "Slytherin! Lovely house, their common room is a basement that's below the lake. I'm a Gryffindor which means unfortunately I can't show you around. But the head of the Slytherin house is a nice guy" The guy rambled as he sat down behind the desk. Drew just stared at him, taking it all in.
