y/n pov * ◌༉‧
i was walking with my father, remus lupin. he is the new professor for defense against the dark arts.
"okay, you have to wait here, okay? don't be nervous. you're okay," my father says. i nod as he quickly pecks my forehead before leaving.
i wait for a few minutes until a lady with a witch hat comes.
"y/n lupin?" she says. i nod.
"welcome to hogwarts." she smiles, and i smile back.
"i'm professor mcgonagall." she extends her hand, and i shake it.
"come with me," she tells me. i walk with her as these big doors open. i walk in and already see students eyeing me.
"welcome, y/n lupin," a man with a long beard says.
i smile, waving as other people smile.
"welcome! please sit on this stool so you can get sorted into your house," professor mcgonagall tells me. i nod, sitting on the stool.
"hmmm, i see...very well, slytherin!" the hat announces. my eyes widen as the slytherin table erupts with cheers and applause.
i sit next to a boy with platinum blonde hair.
"hello! draco malfoy," he introduces himself.
"y/n lupin," i say.
we talk as time passes, and then it is time to go to our dormitory.
"what do we do?" i ask draco.
"here, i will lead you to our common room," he replies. i nod, following him to the common room.
he says the password, leading us into a big, huge room.
"wow," i say.
"the girls' dorm is to the right, and the boys' are to the left," he tells me.
"thank you," i smile at him, and he smiles back at me.
"no problem. just come down here if you need me. i sit on the couch a lot, so you'll see me sitting here often," he tells me. i nod, waving at him and heading up to the dorm, when i bump into a girl with long ombré green hair.
"i'm so sorry!" she says.
"no, i am!" i say back.
"y/n lupin?" she asks. i nod in response.
"nice to meet you, i'm stella," she introduces herself.
"nice to meet you," i say.
"i guess you share a room with me. it's annoying having to share a room with a boy," she says. i laugh as she takes me into the room.
"there's your robe and uniform," she shows me, "and some clothes," she says as i smile at her.
"thank you," i say.
she nods, leaving the dorm. i look at the robe, lifting it up and tracing my fingers around the badge. i put my stuff on the chair, then start to unpack my bags. a boy with dirty blonde hair comes in.
"y/n lupin?" he asks. i nod.
"nathan, nathan smith," he says, holding out his hand. i shake it.
"nice to meet you," i say.
"it's nice having another member in this dorm. clearly, all the boys' dorms are full, so i had to share it with a girl," he says. i laugh softly.
"i'd be happy to show you around tomorrow if you want," he offers.
"yes, please," i smile.
"perfect. if i were you, i'd get some sleep," he tells me, getting on his bed and covering himself with a blanket.
"i will," i say as he smiles and drifts off to sleep. i put my luggage underneath the bed.
i organize everything before getting into bed.
"i see you've already met nathan," stella says as she walks in, closing the door behind her.
"yeah! he seems nice," i say.
"when you get to know him better, he's a bit annoying," she explains. i laugh.
"well, it's getting late. we should head to bed," she says.
"yup," i say.
"it's okay to change in front of me. i'm not a freak. besides, nathan is a heavy sleeper," she says. i nod, changing into shorts before getting into bed. stella turns off the lights and gets into her bed.
"night," she says.
"night," i reply, laying my head on the pillow. i hope tomorrow goes well.
