Review pwease... ^_^

It all started when I brought that stupid Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone book to school. If it wasn't for me my best friends, Geena, Zack, and I wouldn't be in the great hall of the greatest wizarding school ever: Hogwarts. Also, because of me, we're going to be sorted right now by the sorting hat into one of the four houses.

Zack was called first; a minute passed before the sorting hat yelled, "Gryfinndor."

After that Geena went up and placed the hat on her head. The hat took a little bit longer, talking to Geena, though I couldn't hear what he was telling her.

Then finally the sorting hat yelled "Ravenclaw."

It was my turn next; both of my friends were sorted into different houses. I was very unconfident, I'd be in either of those so I hoped and prayed that I would not be in Hufflepuff.

I walked up to the chair and sat as Professor McGonangall set the sorting hat upon my head.

Let's see now . . . lot's of talent no doubt of that, some heart and lots of courage, a some bravery, yet you're telling me not Hufflepuff, don't mind about that, you would never do well in that house, so then let it be . . . Slytherin!" the sorting hat yelled out the last word loudly so that the whole Great Hall could hear.

A loud applause came from the Slytherin table as Professor McGonangall took the sorting hat off my head and I joined the Slytherin table.

I looked toward Zack and Geena, Geena already making friends, and Zack was looking towards me asking with the look in his eyes, "Why didn't you get in Gryfinndor?"

I shrugged towards him, as I sat through the rest of the first years sorting, including Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Draco Malfoy.

As soon as Dumbledore said, "Dinner is served" we all dived in to the food.

I sat between Crabbe and Goyle, and yet across from me was Harry's 'going to be' rival: Draco Malfoy.

"So it's nice to meet you miss . . . ?"Draco Malfoy asks politely.

I thought quickly . . . what was my last name going to be and what should I tell him what my name was in general. I thought quickly and remembered my favorite character in the Harry Potter series: Professor Remus Lupin. I knew barely anyone knew of him so I used his last name and my middle name as my last name and first name.

"I'm Danielle Lupin . . . and you must be?" I asked needless to say I already knew but of course that was yet a secret.

"Well Miss. Lupin, I'm Malfoy . . . that is Draco Malfoy," he said politely before taking a sip of his cider.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Malfoy . . ." I say putting my best pureblood manners to use.

"Same towards you . . . have you met Potter yet?," he said while smirking, "The boy who lived and yet he's already hanging with the Weasleys."

"Oh is that who that is, sitting next to Zack?" I ask trying to act dumbfounded.

"If you're talking about the boy, sitting next to the the black and red haired guys over at the Gryffindor table, then yes you're right . . ." he said cutting into his pie.

"Yea that's him . . . He's my best friend . . ." I say taking a sip of my cider.

"Just to let you know, if you're going to join my friends and I, the last thing I want to see is you hanging out with any of Potter's friends, or any other people that aren't from Slytherin," he said making his point clear.

"Whatever you say, Mr. Malfoy," I say knowing intently that I was going to see my friends behind his back anyways, no matter what it took.

That was the last thing I said to him at dinner that night.

After dinner I waved bye to Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle. As I left the great hall I walked into a random classroom that was easy to just grab people on their way to the house dormitories especially the two houses: Gryffindor and Ravenclaw.
