'Hey beautiful' // Draco Malfoy x Reader

Sorting Ceremony.

(Authors note)

- Hello! this is a Draco x Reader, it starts at first year so ofc its just gonna be simple, cute, realistic stuff cuz you are both 11 in this chapter. if i have time i will write a chapter for each of the other years. :) this is also from your POV unless i say otherwise.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Welcome to Hogwarts!' the words that started the best part of my life, the words that started it all.

I anxiously stand with the other kids and await my destiny, most of the other kids are in groups of at least two so it's really awkward standing by myself, I see two girls standing near the front, one has extremely frizzy brown hair and the other has short black hair, I dont know what else to do and they look like the least intimidating people there so I walk over and try to strike up a conversation.

'Hi! I'm (Y/N), you both look nice so uh, can I stand with you guys until we're told to do something?' I manage to say. The girls look at me, the brown haired one smiles at me,

'Im Hermione Granger! And this is Pansy Parkingson! Nice to meet you (Y/N!)' The girl says, she sounds so confident.

'Nice to meet you both also! wow this school is insane, Im so exited to be attending an actual castle!' I start to talk, and the three of us get lost in conversation.

'so it's true then, what they were saying on the train? Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts.' I hear a boys voice, my name isn't Harry Potter but I turned around to figure out who spoke, and I wasn't the only one either, soon enough the majority of the kids there were looking at the boy.

he's talking with another boy, i recognise this boy, his name is Harry Potter. I met him briefly on the train here when I was figuring out where to sit. He's famous.

'I heard Harry survived the killing curse...' said Pansy, i turn to face her, so did Hermione.

'Yeah, I think everyone knows about him by know, he's basically famous' it's true, his name has been everywhere.

'Its because he was a baby, I had to research him, I'm not exactly from a magic family so nobody could tell me.' said Hermione.

we bring our attention back to the boys, I'm not sure what happened but a teacher came in to get our attention.

i can't get my focus off of the blonde boy, him and his friends aren't too far away from me.

the teacher, who introduced herself as Professor McGonagall, is telling us about the four houses at the school, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. I've already heard about the houses of course, my parents gave me a brief rundown on them before leaving home. I think I'm smart enough to be a Ravenclaw, but I'm also caring enough to be a Hufflepuff. My dad told me that Gryffindors are extremely arrogant and selfish so I hope I don't end up there.

McGonagall leads us into the hall, its so big, all of the other students are at different tables (I assume one for each house) and are staring at us. She leads us to this old hat which is on a chair, I have no idea what the hat is for but it's certainly magic.

'Hermione Granger' McGonagall calls out, and Hermione walks up to the hat, sits on the stool and places the hat on her head.

the hat looks like its thinking for awhile, Hermione did mention that shes not from a magic family so maybe she cant get a house? i hope not, shes really nice and id hate for her to have to leave.

'Gryffindor!' the hat finally says, Hermione looks satisfied and runs off to join the fellow Gryffindors.

'she doesnt seem arrogant or selfish... why would she go there?' i thought to myself, maybe my dad was wrong about Gryffindor, maybe the hat made a mistake?

a couple of other people get sorted, Pansy went to Slytherin, Harry went to Gryffindor.

'Draco Malfoy!' McGonagall says, the blonde kid from before gets up and goes to the chair, before the hat even touches his head it yells

'Slytherin!'

Draco looks extremely pleased, he goes and sits with the other slytherins.

of course he's a slytherin, ive heard about the Malfoy family, my father works with him, i don't know what he does but he says its secret, not even mother knows.

i await my turn, I wouldnt mind getting Gryffindor to join Hermione but I would rather join Pansy and Draco in Slytherin

soon enough, McGonagall says my name.

'(Y/N) (L/N)' 

I hurry up to the chair, i don't know what to expect...

'hmm... interesting...' the hat says

'Gry- SLYTHERIN!' the hat yells out, and i take my spot with Pansy.

I saw Hermione's eyes follow me to my seat, she doesn't look too happy with me getting into Slytherin, hopefully I can still be her friend.

As soon as i sat down at my table, my robes magically turned green.

I made eye contact with Draco Malfoy for a second until he smirked and looked away, that was probably the highlight of my day.
