"Chocolate frogs?" an elderly witch asked. She was pushing a trolley filled with all sorts of sweets. Astoria looked at Malfoy, "I don't have any money" she admitted. "I will pay for it" Malfoy said. He took out a handful of coins from his pocket and handed the witch 4 coins. "Thank you" she said. She took 4 chocolate frogs from her trolley and handed them to the pair in a small purple box. "Thanks" Astoria said. Astoria took one and munched on it thoughtfully, "So you are probably a Slytherin, right?" she asked. "Definitely" Malfoy responded, gnawing on a wiggling frog. After they had finished the chocolate frogs, they changed into their robes. With a screech, the train came to a stop. Hogwarts was practically a castle. No, it was a castle. They reached the entrance to Hogwarts, Astoria and Malfoy side by side. But now there were two other boys, Crabbe and Goyle. Draco had described them as dumb guards, "if you ever really need it, they will protect you" he had told her. "But I know you can protect yourself". Astoria had laughed, she could protect herself. They had walked into the Great Hall, it was a beautiful room with candles floating in mid air. An elderly man with a long white beard sat on a gold chair. "That's Dumbledore" Draco told her. They stood infant of a tall witch with green robes. "When I call your name, you will come forth and I will place the sorting hat on your head and you will be sorted into your houses." the witch announced. Name after name was called, then interrupting Astoria's daydreaming. The witch yelled "Draco Malfoy!". Draco stood up and gave Astoria a wink. He sat on the stool and before the hat was on his head, it announced...

"SLYTHERIN!"

A sly smile slid across Draco's face, and he walked towards the Slytherin table. Astoria clapped and clapped. Name after name, it seemed that her turn would never come. But finally, "Astoria Greengrass!" the witch announced. She stood up confidently, never show fear or hesitation she told herself, she sat down on the stool and just like Draco had (before the hat was on her head)...

"SLYTHERIN!"

She could see Draco smiling, she strode towards the Slytherin table and sat down beside Draco . They happily enjoyed the rest of the night, feasting on delicious food, picking dorms, meeting classmates and teachers and just talking to Draco. 

Once again, the pair was becoming more alike and learning everything about each other, best friends forever, Astoria thought.
