Stella is definitely not the definition of a Slytherin, well at least she doesn't think so. She's spent her last three years of Hogwarts with her best friend and only friend Grace by her side.
That is until a certain blonde haired boy decides to sn...
"Be good Stella. Enjoy your school year" my mother says as she runs her hands over the little wrinkle on my sleeve.
"Relax darling, she'll do amazing" my father rests a hand on my mother's shaking shoulder.
My first year of Hogwarts.
I see the hundreds of students kissing their parents goodbye and making there way on on the train.
I give my parents a tight hug and a kiss goodbye.
"I'll write to you as soon as I can" I wave.
I walk on the train, my nerves taking over my body. I walk down the isle and look for any open cart. I look in and see two boys, about my age.
"Hi. Umm can I join you?" I ask.
"Yeah we have room" the redheaded boy smiles.
"I'm Ron. Ron Weasley" he introduces. "And this is is my friend Harry. Harry Potter"
The brown haired boy with circled glasses gives me a small wave.
" I'm Stella. Stella Delvaux"
We sit and chat during the train ride. I recognize who Harry is but I don't say anything. I don't want to make the boy uncomfortable, besides mum has always said to be polite to everyone.
The train stops and a large man escorts us all into boats. The large castle sits on the top of the hill. The lights reflect down on the lake making it glow. The excitement takes over all the nerves I've felt.
" You will be sorted into a house. This house will become your family here at Hogwarts" the lady in green, Professor McGonagall, announces. She leads us through the large room.
Tables line across with hundreds of students sitting at them.
We stand at the front of the room and name by name gets called up.
"A bit nervous, I am" a small girl with blonde hair, with purple streaks through out it whispers to me.
"Me too" I nod.
She gets called up next. I learn her name is Grace. She looks absolutely terrified.
"Slytherin" the hat yells.
I have no idea where I'll be sorted. My father was a Slytherin and my mother was a Gryffindor.
"Stella Delvaux" McGonagall calls me up.
She places the old looking hat on my head.
"Hmm now what to do what to do" he thinks, "Loyal, like a Hufflepuff, yet smart like a ravenclaw. Very brave like a Gryffindor. Hmm but what's this now? Cunning, Determined, and ambitious..."
"Let it be... Slytherin" the hat yells.
My heart sinks as I stand up and walk to the table. I see the two boys I met on the train give me a sad frown.
I sit beside the girl I met earlier.
"Hi. I'm Grace" she puts her hand out for me to shake.
"Stella. I like your hair" I comment, shaking her hand.
"Thank you! I like you already" she let's out a soft giggle
We chat away, soon becoming the closest of friends.
A/N
I hope you enjoyed the first chapter! I just wanted to clear up any confusion. The book starts to take place from the fourth year and goes until their last. I tried to follow the original story plot, while also trying to make it not as much as a slow burner.
I love Draco love stories, but I feel as they often have Draco opening up to fast. This story is longer and you can see Stella and Dracos relationship develop over the years with other love interests.
