"Slytherin!"
No, not Slytherin. Any house but Slytherin. I may not know much about Hogwarts, as i'm muggle-born but I know enough to know that Slytherin is the bad house. I slowly walk over to the end table, full of mean looking people.
I sit down, next to another new Slytherin. She seems to fit right in, I thought. She had natural light blonde hair. Her face was looking downwards, but her blue-green eyes upwards. She seemed truly evil.
"What's your name then?"
I jumped, pulled out of my trance. "Sorry, what was that?"
She rolled her eyes. It was the evil girl. "I said, what's your name?" She smiled. I wasn't sure if she was friendly or not.
"Oh, I'm Chloe. Chloe-Mae Williamson." I hated my muggle sounding name. However, I am muggle-born, but since I'm in Slytherin now, I'm not telling a soul. Slytherin house was famous for hating muggle-born pupils.
"Nice to meet you!" She chirped "I'm Kirsty. Kirsty Lilypad." She stuck her hand out.
"Nice to meet you, too." I repeated taking her hand. Lilypad. What a pretty last name. Did all wizards and witches have such lovely sounding names?
The sorting dragged on and on, until the last child was sorted. He started crying as he was put into Hufflepuff. Why was he crying? I'd love to be in Hufflepuff.
As everyone started eating, I looked around the Great Hall. It was beautiful, the grand hall was huge with four long tables, each hosting one of four houses: Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor and Slytherin. As soon as I looked up my month hung open. The whole ceiling was sparkling like the night sky, covered in floating candles.
"Catching flies?" Kirsty laughed. "What's so amazing?"
"Oh! I, just, it's pretty cool." I stuttered.
"What? Are you a muggle or something?"
I froze. No, please, I don't want her to find out like this.
"I'm joking!" She laughed.
"Oh, haha." I laughed it off. Geez, I'm going to have to be more careful.
"Hey," Kirsty hit my arm "That blonde guy up there's looking at you."
I slowly, but casually turned my head. I gasped. Oh, my. He was beautiful. He had bright blonde hair and light grey eyes. He was beautiful.
Well, maybe being in Slytherin won't be so bad after all.
Review please?
