The boy with no choices.

I know exactly where to put you.

I opened the sliding door to leave and stepped out Blaise was in a hurry to get of and pushed past me I felt a  cold hand pull me back into the carriage it was starting to get dark and we had been on the train for ages I wasn't really keen on staying any longer.

"Blackwood we need to talk"- Draco said as he looked me in the eye he looked scared.

"Promise me you won't go involving urselves with those mud bloods and blood traitors, I promised your parents I would look out for you and I intend to"- he looked at me with a smile.

"I don't need ur protection Draco'"- I laughed.

He just looked back at me with a smile. "right lets get of this train then"- he said spitting his words. I think I had slightly annoyed him Draco had always tried to protect me I never understood why its not like he was older then me or anything.

We jumped off the train onto the platform and were met my Blaise who was looking around for us.

"you two take ur time don't you"- Blaise said looking at me.

"I was just talking to Blackwood"- Draco snapped back I could tell he was now not at all in the best of moods. Then thankfully a loud voice broke the tension.

"first years don't be shy , come on now hurry up."- shouted a tall man who had long brown hair and a long dark beard. Me,Draco and Blaise all started to follow him along with all the other first years. The tall man began speaking to some boys at the frount one who had ginger hair and another who had  sort of a dark brown. I couldn't really hear what they were saying over Draco's constant winning.

"This place looks a mess."- he muttered. I ignored him and looked back up at the tall man awaiting further instructions.

He yelled "this way to the boats now come on follow me." I nudged Draco who was looking down at the floor miserably and looked over to Blaise who seemed to be looking at the girl who was in our compartment on the train.

"I wouldn't waste your time Blaise."- I spat "she made her opinions of us earlier very clear she will probably go make friends with some mud bloods" - I laughed.

"good one Blackwood"- Draco looked up at me with a smile and we began to walk forward and follow the man who was guiding us. we stopped and was all told to get in boats in groups of three or four me Draco and Blaise sat down. At this point I began to notice some of the other kids staring at me.

"their jealous"- Draco said.

"Its probably because they have figured out y/n is a Blackwood."- Blaise laughed. I smiled back at him I still didn't understand really the importance of my name I just guessed it was Because we were wealthy and my farther worked alongside Draco's and Blaise's in the ministry. everyone began. to go silent and gasp as the castle came into view.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

after a long walk up the steps we finally entered the castle it was beautiful all the hallways were lit with big torches . after a bit more walking we were met with a woman who was wearing sort of a green robe dress and a black witches hat that had a large feather on the top.

she spoke " Wellcome to Hogwarts, now in a few moments you shall pass though these doors and join your class mates but before you can take your seats you shall be sorted into your houses  they are gryfindoor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin."

At this point Draco looked at me with a smile and nodded we had also been talking to some new boys on the walk I believe their names were Crabbe and Goil I didn't really seem to like them but Draco did so I thought it would be easier to keep my mouth shut for now.

the woman continued to speak "now while your hear your house will be like your family your try-umps will earn you points  any rule breaking and you will loose points. At the end of the year the house with the most points will win the house cup....."

"Trevor"- a boy yelled I looked down to see a dark coloured toad on the floor Draco nudged me and laughed. the boy picked up the toad and apologised.

The woman Continued "The sorting ceremony will begin momentarily."- she said as she turned to walk away.

Draco began to speak " is it true then what their saying on the train Harry Potter has come to hogwarts"- he smirked

" I began to speak cutting him of slightly "this is Crabbe and Goil and im Blackwood, y/n Blackwood.oh and this is my best-friend Malfoy."- I smiled

"Draco Malfoy"- he replied.

"bloody hell a Blackwood"- the ginger boy said.

Draco began to walk up to harry and I followed the ginger boy let out a laugh. Draco looked him straight in the eye.

"think my names funny do you no need to ask yours red hair and a hand me down robe you must be a Weasley"- he spat. I let out a small giggle and the Weasley boy looked at me.

Draco continued " you will soon find out some wizarding family's are better then others pottah, you don't wanna go making friends with the wrong sort." he looked at the Weasley boy. "I can help you there." - Draco stuck out his hand and smirked.

" I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself thanks"- harry said giving me and Draco a glare.

The next thing I felt was the woman giving me and Draco a pat on the back with a scroll of some sort. we looked at her and turned back to pottah to give him a dirty look  before walking away back to find Blaise.

The woman spoke again " where ready for you now follow me."

Two large doors opened and their was four long tables with students sat all they way down them who all turned to look at us as we walked in  the tables had already been set in preparation for a meal  we walked down the middle of the hall I looked up noticing the roof I knew it was an enchantment I started to feel uncomfortable as eyes fell on me so I stayed close to Malfoy. we stopped as we reached the ground of the room where all the teacher were sitting on their own long table one man sat in what looked to be a big golden throne. I looked to see a stool with an old hat placed on it.

the teacher who's name I had figured out by now was professor McGonagall spoken again " now before we begin professor Dumbledour would like to say a few words."

The man from the golden throne stood up " I have a few start of term notices I wish to announce first years please note that the dark forrest is strictly forbidden to all students, also our caretaker mr filtch has asked me to remind you that the third floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death. thankyou"- the man sat back down.

McGonagall spoke again " when I call your name you will come forth I shall place the sorting hat on your head and you shall me sorted into your houses." she began to call out names one by one "Hermione Granger" and the hat decided their houses the first girls when into gryfindoor.

Then I heard "Draco Malfoy" I suddenly started to pay attention to what was going on I watched Draco leave my side and start to walk up to the front. he sat down on the stool and gave me a smile. McGonagall lowered the hat towards his head and it instantly said slytherin and he smiled.

A  few other people were sorted and went to sit down at their tables including the Weasley boy who I found out his name was Ronald but he went by Ron.  the next thing I head was McGonagall say " y/n Blackwood" I heard everyone gasp and begin to whisper I walked up to the front and sat myself on the stool I felt the hat be placed on my head it began to speak.

"hmmm interesting a Blackwood I see well your parents were great slytherins you know very powerful people but I see you are  slightly different you are very ambitious yes yes and have a thirst to prove yourself I see but you can also be brave and recklessness hmm although I know exactly where to put you Slytherin"-the hat yelled. I looked over to see Draco gave me a smug look as I got up to go sit with him and Blaise who has also been sorted. I listed out for everyone getting sorted.

"Im not surprised that the pottah boy is a gryfindoor."I laughed.

"no me either"- blaise smirked.

Draco smirked "I assume we will be taken to our dorms soon" - he said. I smiled back at him I was still in shock I couldn't believe I was finally at hogwarts and I was here to stay.
