I walk off of the train with my heavy suitcase and my owl on my shoulder. I look around for anyone that would help me find where to go. My eyes land a familiar face. The boy has dark brown hair, circle glasses, a lightning bolt scar on his forehead and a Gryffindor robe on. Harry Potter. Or better known as "the boy who lived". I've seen him all over the place, in the newspaper, on the tv, everywhere. He supposedly survived an attack on him from vol- the dark lord, I heard that's where he got his scar from.

I build up the courage to talk to him since he's the only one here I recognize. I start heading his way when I trip over my untied shoelaces and I fumble into someone, causing both of us to fall onto the ground. Both of us groan in pain.

"What the heck! Watch where you're going next time!" The boy yells at me. I look over to see another familiar face, but this one has bleach blonde hair and a Slytherin robe on. Draco Malfoy. I shoot him a mean glare as I stand up. I've heard a lot about his family as well. They are bad people who do very bad things.

"Maybe you should watch where you're going instead!" I yell back at him. His eyes quickly fix onto mine and his mouth gapes open slightly. He closes his mouth and stands up with his arms crossed.

"What did you just say to me? Do you have any idea who you are talking to!?" He questions with anger in his voice.

"Yes I do, you are Draco Malfoy. Son of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy. And you are a Slytherin, pureblood wizard, just like your father." I reply.

"I see you've done your research." He answers with a smug smile. I roll my eyes and I cross my arms just like he has his.

"Don't get your pants in a twist, I only know about you and your family because of the bad things I've heard about you guys. You aren't kind people, and I will not associate myself with you." I tell him and I walk away. I find myself in front of Harry.

 "Hello, my name is Maya Wright. You must be Harry Potter, I've heard all about you." I say with a smile. I stick my hand out for him to shake. He places his hand in mine and shakes it with a smile as well.

"Nice to meet you Maya. These are my friends, that one is-" Harry starts when he's cut off by the red headed boy.

"Ronald Weasley, but you can just call me Ron." He tells me, adding a wink at the end which causes me too blush. The girl next to Ron rolls her eyes at us.

"I am Hermione Granger." She says. I nod and I look back at Harry.

I can't keep my eyes off of her. I need to know her. No girl has ever talked to me the way she did, which for some reason draws my attention more to her.

"Malfoy!" Goyle shouts at me, I whip my head towards him in anger. What could he possibly want this time?

"What do you want!?" I question with frustration in my voice.

"Why are you staring at that girl? Who is she?" Goyle questions and Crabbe nods like he's wondering as well.

"It's none of your guy's business, just some girl I ran into earlier. She's probably another stupid mudblood in Gryffindor." I answer and I walk away from them. I sigh, I really hope she isn't like "the golden trio" she has way more fire and passion in her to be like them. Plus, I can never see myself falling for a mudblood. And especially not one that's in Gryffindor house whose friends with potter.

I walk into the common room and I sit down at the Slytherin table with all my friends. I look up to see the girl from before, talking to Dumbledore.

"Who is she?" I hear Pansy Parkinson ask me, another fellow Slytherin who has had a crush on me since our first day at Hogwarts. Now that I think of it, that was only three months ago. But why do we have a new student now? Why didn't she come when the rest of us did for our first year.

"I don't know, some new student I'm guessing." I reply. She grabs my hand into her hand and she gives me her puppy dog eyes.

"You don't like her, do you baby?" She questions. Her words put me in shock, she did not just call me baby!!?? I take my hand away from her's.

"First off, no. I don't even know her. And second, we are not together.." I tell her and I look back up the girl and she sits in the chair where we all sat to get sorted into our houses.

Dumbledore walks up to the podium and he begins speaking to everyone.

"Good evening students, today we welcome someone new to the family. Her name is Maya Wright, and at this moment we have arranged for her to be sorted into a house just as all of you were." Dumbledore explains. Maya. What a pretty name for a pretty girl- I mean.. nevermind, ignore that. 

"Hagrid, would you mind?" Dumbledore questions and Hagrid shakes his head. He stands up and places the sorting hat in Dumbledore's hands. Dumbledore walks over to Maya and sets the hat on top of her head.

"Hmm, ahhh, I see. Very courageous and brave, but also you value leadership. I'm going to have to go with.." The sorting hat takes a pause. I see Maya looking nervous, why is she nervous? She has to be a Slytherin, I can see it in her.

"GRYFFINDOR!!" The hat yells. Everyone in Gryffindor starts cheering. I cross my arms in frustration, she's definitely a Slytherin. The hat is wrong.

I sigh in relief. I was afraid it was going to put me in Slytherin with Malfoy, and I'd rather not have that. That boy is bad news, along with his family. And I know I shouldn't judge someone based on things I've heard, but this is different. The word that's going around is that Lucius works for the dark lord, and if I were to get involved with Draco.. It just wouldn't end well, I can already tell. So I promise to myself that I will stay away from him, no matter what.
