Rebecca was gathered into a group along with all the other first years. All the Elevon year old shuffled together along through the giant doors the a huge set of stairs, as they all hobbled up Rebecca looked around trying to find a familiar face. Not finding one she looked a head, a tall slim woman stepped forward introducing herself and started talking about Hogwarts. Before she could listen as to what was gonna happen next
'PSSST BECKY' a loud whisper came from behind her. She rolled her eyes trying to ignore it. She held her head high trying to pay some attention. Rebecca heard shuffling then a tap to her shoulder
'you didn't forget about me Becky? Stick with me and George and you will be alright' Fred whispered from her left.
'Hey Rebecca, recon we're gonna get in the same house?' George whispered over her right shoulder. Before she could reply everyone started to shuffle like Penguins on ice up the stairs and through giant doors into the great hall. Lit by candles floating in the sky, surrounded by a million stars.
All the older students were gawking at the first years, as they followed one another. Four long tables with students in different colours per table. Ruby Red, Navy Blue, Mustard Yellow and Emerald Green. These must be the houses Rebecca thought to her self.
After being introduced by the head master and assistant head mistress the first years started to be sorted into houses. Each student's name being called by professor Dumbledore to have an old manky hat placed on their head calling their best suited house.
'MR SAM DAVIES!' called Dumbledore
A small boy stepped forward with Afro curls and deep brown eyes. He sat, Rebecca, Fred and George all watched with concerned faces, awaiting what was going to happen next.
'RAVENCLAW!' The hat roared out. Sam smiled, giving the hat back to his head master and ran to the table with students in blue ties.
'I'm kinda nervous ya know, my whole family want me to get Slytherin, but I'd prefer anything but that house!' Rebecca whined to the twins
'Hey, Becky! Hopefully we get in the same house. If not we're still gonna be mates?' Fred tried to reassure her, more like reassuring himself.
'Fred, you say that but you'd 100% cry if me and you aren't in the same house! You can't live without me, I'm too amazing.' Boasted George
'Live without you? You mean you can't live with out me...AND MUM SAI...'
'MR FREDRICK WEASLEY' howled Dumbledore
Fred stepped forward to the old man and gulped, nervous.
'Aghhh another Weasley, you must be the 4th boy? Still more to come after you Fred...' a long uncomfortable pause came from the older man. Fred stood like a statue, suddenly all shy since the whole school was watching his every move. George and Rebecca looked at each other then back to Fred feeling the tension.
'Anyways, take a seat Mr Weasley, I'm sure we already know what house you're going to be placed into considering your family history' Fred's considered face turn into a small smile.
The hat got plopped onto Fred ginger mop hair
'Agh another Weasley, you're a twin ayyye...? But will you follow your elder bothers and parents before you? Will the twins be placed in the same house...because I think you're a GRYFFINDOR!' Fred smiled, and ran to the red table sitting next to his older brother Percy.
'MR GEORGE WEALEY!'
It felt like déjà vu for Rebecca, as George followed his twin to the hat.
'Aghhh the other Weasley twin, you're gonna be joining your whole family YOU ARE GRYFFINDOR!' Before George could even get up from the chair Dumbledore read out bellowing his voice across the room
'MISS REBECCA MALFOY!'
Whispering erupted from all tables, all students and even teachers. Her family name was so promiscuous with being a Slytherin, like the Weasleys who always end up in Gryffindor. The hat was plopped onto her head, Rebecca was nervous. She could hear people saying
'Another Malfoy, another Slytherin.'
'Oh a Malfoy! But you're a bit different you'd like to think m, I believe I know where I should put you....HUFFLEPUFF!'
Everyone in the room looked around in shock. Rebecca stood making eye contact with the twins and giving a smile before taking her place at the Hufflepuff table.
'I guess it's a time for new beginnings aye?' A strange squeaky girl with a mop of long black curls running over her shoulders and down her back. Rebecca smiled and nodded
'Yeah, I think so. Rebecca Malfoy' she stuck her hand out to the girl sat to her right
'Ruby May!' Ruby rejected the hand shake and just went straight into a tight hug, embarrassing Rebecca.

Dumbledore stood and with one big clap of his hands he got all the students attention after being busy talking among themselves.
'First years, your house prefects will show you to your common rooms, all your belongings are already up there waiting for you.' Dumbledore smiled looking around the great hall. Percy stood and beckoned his Gryffindor first years to follow him.
Rebecca and Ruby stood following the other students heading to the Hufflepuff common room.

'BECKY, HEY BECKY! MALFOY!' A distant shout coming from behind. Both Rebecca and Ruby stopped looking for the voice. Fred and George came running up the the girls.
'Jesus Christ Rebecca, me and Fred and been looking for you! I bet ya glad you didn't get in snake club!' He paused looking over to the students in green, Rebecca followed his gaze and back up to him 'I didn't wanna say it earlier incase ya know? But they're all nasty pieces of works!' George huffed, still out of breath from before. Rebecca laugh awkwardly at the taller ginger boy
'Yes! Yes George, my whole family have always gone into Slytherin...and yeah, I am glad! Proves I'm not like them'
'Oh crap! I'm sorry Rebecca, I didn't mean to be horrible or anything!'
'Jeee George, dig ya self a hole!' Fred chipped in, whilst giggled at his struggling twin brother
'Hey George! It's all cool! You better get back to Percy! He won't be too happy if he finds you missing! I will see ya guys soon right?'
'You bet you will Becky! Not getting rid of us the easy!' Fred smirked and pulled a nodding George away to go find Percy. Rebecca turned back to Ruby who was just stood watching the three, Rebecca shook her head laughing. They started walking forward leaving the great hall behind them
Ruby abruptly shouted towards Rebecca
'They're cool!' Smiling at Rebecca
'Yeah...I guess they are'
'I recon that Fred boy fancy's you ya know!'
'WHAT RUBY?' Rebecca instantly blushed tucking her blonde hair behind her ear
'I've just met him today! How could he fancy me?' Rebecca's voice became high pitch in embarrassment
'I dunno Bex's he just gives off lover boy vibes to me! He's cute! I think you should go with the flow and see what happens' Ruby just shrugged, smiling back at a very red Rebecca
'Ruby shhhh...he doesn't like me!' Rebecca laughed nervously, walking ahead of Ruby avoiding anymore of that conversation
'WE WILL SEE ABOUT THAT MALFOY!' Ruby shouted jogging to catch up with Rebecca.
