Peppermint

The sorting.

I quickly got off the boats following a nice woman in a pointy hat and a tight bun, miss McGonagall at least I think that was her name.

"Now now children you will be sorted into your houses once we enter the great hall everyone stick together" she announced as she pushed the doors open to show the beautiful great hall.

I looked at the 4 tables for each house I'm guessing. Then I quickly realize all eyes are on me, how could they have known I was a Merlin that's not possible I just got here. a boy whistling a catcall snapped me out of my thoughts. Then I realized no one knew I was a Merlin they were just starring cause they thought I was nice to look at I guess? I finally met Hermione eyes as she motioned a hand to come to sit next to her so I complied and had a seat.

"Now that everyone is here let the sorting begin" an old man with a long beard announced to the hall and I knew right when I looked at him, that that was professor Dumbledore.

of course, they made me wait till all the first years were sorted making me go last. but finally, when the time came I heard Professor Dumbledore's voice say just my first name to call me up. it's almost like he didn't want everyone to know right away about my Merlin name. and honestly I was grateful for that.

right, when I heard my name I got up and climbed over the bench well I heard Hermione whisper " Gryffindor" in my ear. I turned smiling at her not because I wanted to be in Gryffindor but because I knew I was going to be a Slytherin just like my grandfather. I sat down on the stool as they put the big talking hat on top of my head.

"Oh, my Oh my it is an honor miss how is your grandfather may I ask" the hat starts talking well everyone's eyes are on me with a confused look on there faces. "he's good" I whisper to the hat. "and the pleasure is all mine" I added. "oh I like this one very nice and charming maybe... Hufflepuff oh oh what's this a bit of smart too... Raven claw maybe but my your brave as well you would fit into any of these houses very well but I think I know my choice you shall be GRY oh wait what is that a bit of spunkiness now I know where you belong SLYTHERIN!!!!" the hat yells.

I get up off the stool and go sit down at the Slytherin table with my now green robs. After there is a huge feast appearing on the table I am instantly greeted by a boy with dark black hair and emerald green eyes he is rather handsome.

"Hello welcome to Slytherin you're a 5th year right". I nod well smiling at him.

"that's cool yea that's cool I'm Nick by the way".

"Severa," I say holding out my hand.

I can't help but blush when our hands touch that is until I rude voice beams through my ears.

"Imagine your last name being Severa cleary her parents weren't the brightest"

a platinum blond boy with icy grey eyes spat to his friend next to him, but his friend looked more concerned about the food on his plate.

"it's not my last name idiot" I spat back, he was only about 2 people away from me so he easily heard.

The Slytherin table almost went silent as everyone turned to look at me almost like I did something wrong.

"What did you say to me you filthy mud blood" the blond boy snapped.

"Who knew you couldn't hear with such big ears," I said to him just as herd nick let out a small chuckle.

"Excuse me do you know who you're talking to little-" he said with anger rising to his cheeks.

"first of all I'm not a muggle-born im a pure-blood if you MUST know and second do you know who you're talking to??" he looked at me with confusion then let out a small chuckle that grew into a big one.

" like your name has any power over my Malfoy name," he said with snark.

"ah Malfoy, of course, you're a Malfoy I should have known from the hair spitting image of your fathers," I said laughing. Then I realized the whole room went silent.

"How the bloody hell do you know my father" he spat.

"oh right let me introduce myself now, I'm Severa, Severa Merlin," I said holding out my hand just as I did right away heard the gasps and the whispers start.

But it was all worth it when I looked into Malfoys face with fear laced in his eyes. He quickly tried to compose himself together and took my hand in his and shook it. I walked out of the hall with everyone's eyes following me while I was following the first year's Prefect to the common rooms. But to my luck, the prefect was Nick the boy who had greeted me earlier.
