Dark Secrets

Housing

I follow the others to the Grand Hall and sit near the front with the younger kids. They move away because of sleeping Ebony. I don't look around. I look up at the Professor table as one of them stands and begins to speak. The Professor who was by the train walks in calmly and sits down. He searches the crowd and spots me. He leans over to one of the other Professors and points slightly as he whispers to her. I feel someone watching me from the other side of the Hall. I turn slightly and I see a pair of silver eyes watching me. I turn back and I look at the Professors. Ebony wakes up and slithers off my shoulders, cutting off the speaking Professor. I watch Ebony as she slithers under the table I was sitting at. A girl screams and stands on her chair causing people to snicker. I look up at the Professor and he nods. I stand up and walk towards the girl and Ebony. I walk past them to the end of table. Ebony slithers over to me. She curls around me. I murmur to her as I walk back to my seat. I tell her not to do that or we'll both get in trouble. I sit down and I feel more stares at me. The Professor claps her hands and begins to speak again. Suddenly the Professor from the train stands and walks to the front. He begins to speak and then looks at me. I look up and then down, murmuring to Ebony.
"Can you please come up here, Miss di Angelo." I look up at the teacher and stand. A murmur breaks out across the hall. "Miss di Angelo, can you please-"
"You can call me Violet." I say as I look up at the Professor. He looks down at me as my glamour comes down.
"Hey Professor, is that the new mud-blood." Someone shouts as the English translated in my brain. I look up at the teacher and slowly step back away from him.
"Sir, may I?" The Professor looks at me and sees my wand in my hand. He looks confused. Ebony slithers off my shoulders and coils at my feet. The Professor shakes his head and I sigh. The table where the shout came from snicker.
"Ten points from Slytherin for intruding." The Professor announces.
"Professor, how can I understand what you're saying but I can't speak it?" The Professor turns to me and sighs.
"I will answer your questions later." I nod and look down. "Sit on the stool please, Miss di Angelo." He says in English and I sit on the stool. I watch as Ebony slithers over to the Slytherin table and curls up. A hat is placed on my head and it mutters, between Ravenclaw and Slytherin. "Slytherin!" It shouts and everyone but me freezes. I walk over and sit as far as I can from them as I can. I hear someone telling people to move. I stroke Ebony as she hisses at the person as the first years are sorted.
"Hey." A boy says in Italian. I don't look away from Ebony.
"Hello." I say and Ebony raises to look me in the eye. She hisses, telling me that she's not happy to be here, and that the boy is kinda cute. She suddenly hisses and says she doesn't like him. "Well, that's nice to know." I murmur to her and stroke the side of her face. "Would you like to leave and go to the common rooms?" I murmur and she hisses a yes. I look at the Professor before standing and walking towards the door, Ebony following me.

I walk down to the dungeons and stand in front of Salazar's portrait.
"Hello, Violet, it is nice to see you at Hogwarts at long last."
"It is good to see you too, Salazar. I'm proud to be in your founded school." I say and he smiles.
"You're on your way to the common rooms I suppose?" I nod slightly.
"Password?" I look around before muttering in Pascile tongue and he opens the door. "Do enjoy your stay, Violet." He says as I walk through.
"Thank you." I walk up the stairs and sit on one of the couches.

I fall asleep before the others arrive.
