"He May be a weasly but he's already better company than you."
"And who are you"
"My name is Alexis Rosewood, the daughter or Marcus Snape and Bella Rosewood. So I suggest you step back and leave us alone."
He looks at me and turns to Harry, I look at them.
"Well, you'll soon find that some wizarding families are better than others, Potter. Don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there."
He extends his hand to Harry, I know my brother better than anyone.
"I think I can tell who the wrong sort are for myself, thanks."
Draco glares. McGonagall returns and taps Draco on the shoulder with a paper. He leaves Harry with one last glare.
"We're ready for you now, follow me"
She leads everyone through two large doors and into the Great Hall, where there are four long tables with thousands of students, as well as floating candles. The roof appears to be the sky.
"It's not real, the ceiling. It's just bewitched to look like the night sky. I read about it in Hogwarts: A History."
McGonagall leads the first-years to the front where the Sorting Hat lies on the stool. I stand close to my brother and Ron.
"Will you wait along here, please? Now, before we begin, Professor Dumbledore would like to say a few words."
Dumbledore rises from the main table. I look at him and smile. I do a little wave and he shakes his head.
"I have a few start of term notices I wish to announce. The first years please note that the dark forest is strictly forbidden to all students. Also, our caretaker, Mr. Filch has asked me to remind you that the 3rd floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death. Thank you."
He sits back down and we all look back at professor McGonagall.
"When I call your name, you will come forth, I shall place the sorting hat on your head, and you will be sorted into your houses. Hermione Granger.
She starts to walk there but she's whispering to herself. I hear Ron speak to my brother.
"Mental that one, I'm telling you."
Harry nods in agreement. Hermione sits on the stool and McGonagall places the sorting hat on her head
"Ah, right then..hmm..right. Okay..Gryffindor!!"
The students cheer; Hermione jumps off with a smile.
"Draco Malfoy."
Draco saunters up proudly. The tattered hat nearly freaks before touching down on Draco's head.
"SLYTHERIN!"
The students cheer, not as loudly. I looked over at my brother and smile.
"There isn't a witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin."
"Susan Bones."
A small, redhead goes up. Harry looks around and notices someone giving him sinister looks. I look up and I see that it's Snape. My snake starts to burn and I look over at Harry to see him touching his scar.
"Ahh!"
"Harry, what is it?"
My brother looks at me and turns to Snape.
"Nothing... nothing, I'm fine."
"Let's see...I know...Hufflepuff!"
"Ronald Weasley."
