Unsorted

Year 1- Chapter 2

Ellie

It had been about a week since I had been deemed 'Unsorted'. Everyone would treat me differently. I'd walk past them in the halls and they'd whisper. I was the center of attention, which is weird because it's Potter's job to be the celebrity. And, of course, me not having a single Hogwarts house would give me access to all four common rooms and dormitories. Weird, right?

Aside from that, Pansy had been even more annoying than before. I'd be talking to Malfoy and she'd step in between us.

"Save space for Pansy" she would always say. I swear, it was enough for me to kill her. I didn't, of course. I would though.
~•~
It was just about time for flying class when Draco approached me.

"McCain.. Psst."

"What, Malfoy?"

"I have to talk to you. Meet me at Slitherin common room before supper"

"Fine." I walked back out to the training grounds where Panties was. She glared at me and that was the moment I had just about had it with her.

"Y'know what Panties? I am sick of you! I did nothing but talk to Draco and you give me the dirtiest, ugliest, most ridiculous state I've ever seen! It's not my fault that you're obsessed with a boy who's OBVIOUSLY not into you!" Oh boy..

"I- But I-" she stuttered and ran off crying. Madame Hooch walked over to me with her catlike eyes and stared me down.

"Elliana McCain.. causing trouble just as your brother did, I see. Although, degrading and humiliating another student would never be in your brother's best interests. 10 points from each house and you may now report to Professor Dumbledore's office immediately."

"But, she-"

"Immediately!" she cut me off. I walked off the training grounds with my head hanging, my face burning with embarrassment, and my fists clenched so hard, they were turning yellow. Off to Dumbledore's already.
~•~
I had been waiting outside Dumbledore's office for about 5 minutes before I could finally go in.

As I entered the office, many things struck my eyes. A bird, a bunch of viles, books, everything. The one thing I saw last though, was not only Pansy, but my aunt and uncle.

"Elliana, welcome" Dumbledore said. He gestured for me to have a seat in the only open chair in front of his desk. "You may already know why I've called you here, so I'll just skip right to the point. There of course will have to be a form of punishment for degrading another student, but we only have one side of the story. So, please. Inform us what's going on with you and Ms. Parkinson."

My stomach dropped, my mouth went dry. "I met Draco Malfoy on the train along with Pansy and another boy. She's had this obsession with Malfoy since I got here and I can't even talk to him privately without her threatening me or looking at me wrong." I gulped and looked up at my aunt and then uncle. Their faces expressionless. Dumbledore continued.

"I see. Unfortunately, this is no excuse for the rude words said to Pansy, but i can see where your anger comes from. Ms. Parkinson will also receive a punishment."

"FOR WHAT? I didn't do anything. She's the reason we're here!"

"Ms. Parkinson, enough! You both will have detention with Professor McGonagall for a week. You're both dismissed. Ms. McCain, please stay for a moment. We have to discuss some things."

Hm. I wonder what.
