Dear Big Brother || Draco Malfoy Love Story || in progress! <3

Chapter 3

Juliette looked around at her fellow first years. All of their faces in awe at the magical hat. Juliette, however, had already heard about the hat of course from her brother's many letters. McGonagall picked the hat off of the stool and began to scan the names on a list she was also holding.

"Hermione Granger!"

Juliette watched as her new friend confidently went to sit on the stool. She took a seat and looked at Ivy. Ivy grinned and gave her two thumbs up. She watched as McGonagall lowered the hat onto Hermione's bushy hair. It almost looked as though it would fit around it all. The cap started talking quietly.

"Gryffindor!" announced the hat loudly.

Juliette looked over to one of the tables to see the kids yelling and cheering for her. She watched as Hermione went to sit next to two boys who had red hair and looked exactly alike. A few other kids went as Juliette stood with the others anxiously.

"Draco Malfoy!"

The blonde, pale boy walked over the the stool. He almost looked cocky. McGonagall didn't even reach his head when the the hat screamed, "Slytherin!" Now Ivy definitley didn't want to be in Slytherin. She looked over to the table full of students wearing green and cheering for the pale kid.

"Juliette Diggory!"

Juliette froze. She felt like she couldn't even move, she was so nervous. It felt like she was walking in slow motion. She looked over to Hermione who was smiling and clapping for her. She then looked over to the Hufflepuff table and saw her brother and his friends waving and smiling. This made her less nervous. She waved back and smiled. She slowly sat down on the stool. The whole room was looking at her. She felt as the hat was lowered on top of her head.

"Hm, smart, yes very smart. But cocky. Very determined." the hat said in her ear.

Then it happened. Exactly what she didn't want to happen.

"Slytherin!"

Gasps. She looked around the Great hall terrified. She slowly got up and walked to the cheering green table. She held her head low as she sat. She stayed like that until the next person was called. She lifted her head to look for her brother. She met eyes with him. He looked shocked and confused which is honestly how she was feeling as well.

"Haha, I'm sure your Hufflebaby brother is going to cry himself to sleep tonight." laughed the blonde boy across from her. She moved her head so she was now facing him.

"Pardon?"

"You heard me, I had a feeling you were going to be put in here. You have quite the attitude."

Juliette looked at him speechless. Did he really think it was ok to be saying this to her? He was grinning. Juliette didn't even say anything back, she wasn't giving him the satisfaction of knowing he upset her. She looked away. Soon enough all the first years had been sorted into their houses. Dumbledore started to say something but Juliette was still so upset and confused that she tuned out completley. Food magicly showed up in front of her making her jump slightly. She was shocked but starving so she reached for the salad spoon. She scooped some lettuce on her plate with some dressing and began to eat. She could hear all the kids talking amunst each other but talking to her new housemates was the last thing she wanted to do at the moment.

Dinner seemed to be the longest hour of her life. She finally got up and ran over to the ravenclaw table to see if she could find Luna. Juliette was happy for Luna when she was sorted into the house she was hoping for but she wanted to make sure Luna would still be her friend. Juliette pushed through the crowds of people and finally saw Luna's glowing blonde hair.

"Luna!" yelled Juliette smiling.

Luna turned around and smiled and started to run towards Juliette. "Hi Juliette. It's sad we didn't get in the same house but it's ok. We can hangout after class."

Juliette looked at Luna greatfully. "Yes, I'm sad too. Of course I get put into Slytherin, the one house I didn't want." she said while rolling her eyes. She pulled out of Luna's hug and met eyes with Cedric. He was coming towards her. She didn't know if she should be scared or happy but she didn't have enough time to think about it.
