Ivory Rose was about to be sorted, walked up so close to her that I could hear what she and the sorting hat was saying.
The sorting hat said "Ahhh a typical Rose"
And Ivory said "Please not Slytherin please not Slytherin" I was confused, didn't my mother want to be a Slytherin?
"Are you sure? Slytherin is great for you!"
"Please not Slytherin please not Slytherin"
"I'm sticking by my decision and I say you are a SLYTHERIN!"
The Slytherin team clapped for little Ivory Rose, who had beautiful flowing red hair and blue eyes.
"Thomas May" young Proffessor McGonagall called, it was my father
"SLYTHERIN!" The sorting hat called as soon as it touched his head, much like Draco. However the boy tried to hide it, disappointment showed.
"Hi" I said walking up to my mother, Ivory Rose, but would she recognise me?
"Hello Ivory, I'm Scarlett" I said holding out my hand but she showed no sign of recognition. "Ivory, Are you ok?" I asked but she didn't reply.
"Hi, I'm Thomas May" the boy before said to me
"Hi i'm Scarlett... Mayfair" I said at the same time as Ivory, who said "hi Thomas, I'm Ivory Rose"
Thomas reached out towards a cup of pumpkin juice and I tried to dodge but was too late. Then something extraordinary happened, his hand went through me.
I then realized that they couldn't see me, of course, how silly of me, I was in a memory.
After the feast finished, Ivory quickly went somewhere with me following quickly behind.
"James, I'm in Slytherin" she sobbed to another boy who looked almost identical to Potter, except the eyes.
"Oh umm, ok" James Potter said awkwardly "don't worry, we'll still be friends"
"Promise?"
"Yup, yup, got to go now, bye Ivy"
"Bye James" Ivy turned around to see another boy, with long blonde hair
"I'm Malfoy, Lucious Malfoy" he said, I laughed at the resemblance between Mr. Malfoy and Draco.
Suddenly, I was whipped out of the memory.
"Wait" I called "wait" and I was standing in Dumbledore's office
"Don't worry miss May, you'll get to see the rest of the memory next time"
"Next time?" I questioned
"Yes, but what did you two learn from today's lesson?"
I was suddenly aware of Potter standing next to me.
"Well... my parents didn't want to be in Slytherin" I said
"Right you are May, and do you have any idea why?"
"No" I shook my head
"Well you'll hopefully find out next lesson, what about you Harry?"
We talked about what we had learnt from this lesson (for me, nothing) and when I was about to die of boredom, Dumbledore spoke.
"Well then, that finishes, the lesson, I'll see you two again soon, I hope and remember, happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if only one remembers to turn on the light"
I frozed halfway of walking out of Dumbledore's office as I remembered the last time I saw these words in my bedroom.
"It was you?" I looked at dumbledore "you put that note in my room?" But it was either Dumbledore didn't hear or he was ignoring me,
"Goodbye Harry and Miss May" he said before closing the door leaving harry and I alone
"Scar-" harry began, turning to me
"Yes?" I said rolling my eyes
"Umm... I wanted to ask you, why do you hate me now?" He looked down "I haven't been doing anything to you, have I?"
I was taken aback, I had been mean to Harry lately "umm, I..." I stammered
"Because I don't want to hate you, you know, but it's honestly so hard not to when your being mean to me and Hermione and Ron are saying stuff to me about Draco being a death eater" he gave a small laughed and looked at me seriously "he's not, right?" That's when Draco came down the halls
"Scarlett?" Draco asked looking from me to Harry and back to me, "why are you with... him?"
