Chapter one: Arrival
It was her first year along with her brother draco's. The hogwarts train was active with laughter. Everyone was happy except one girl who only felt fear and anxiety. She stayed alone away from everyone tucked into a corner; her legs were tucked in against her chest as she hugged herself. She had long blond curly hair and shinning bright green eyes. Nobody bothered her the whole way to hogwarts not even her brother. They seemed not to notice her existence amongst the splendor. She looked like a picture of beautiful sadness. Her eyes full of a deep sadness like poles of depression. She felt so alone and nobody seemed to care.
When they left the train to see hagrid she did not seemed surprised like the other first years. She just watched and followed the directions given. Her mind was in another place; no matter how hard she tried she could think of no positives. She climbed into the boat with several other first years. They rowed across the lake towards Hogwarts. It was breath taking and even she could not deny it. The lights twinkling in the distance were mesmerizing to her. She soon arrived at hogwarts only worsening her fear. Anxiety began to set in along with despair. She was then dropped off with Mcgonagall and she felt a feeling of admiration as she stared at the professor. She was scared, but faced her fear without anyone ever knowing she was afraid.
Mcgonagall lead them to the great hall. Her face calculating as she looked them all over. She had already seen her brothers fights with harry. She had the feeling Mcgonagall was aware of the conflict. This escaped her mind as the doors to the great hall swung open and she filled in with the other first years. She did not speak like the other first years did. She only walked with her head held high and proper posture as she had been taught. The sorting hat sang and then Mcgonagall began to read of names of students to try on the sorting hat. She was so worried about what would happen if she did not make it into slytherin. She then argued with herself that she should not want to be in the same house as her father. She finally decided that slytherin was not her place. She was not all that ambitious she just disliked punishment.
After draco had been called she heard her name called by professor Mcgonagall. The voice sounded like death as it spoke "Aillie (I lee is how it is pronounced) Jasmine Malfoy". Her blood ran cold as she stepped up towards the sorting hat. She gulped hard as it was placed on top her head. Suddenly the voice of the sorting hat filled the great hall. "How interesting! Hmmm very interesting". Fear over took her as contemplated the possibility of what the sorting hat could see. The thought 'Oh god please don't find out' passed through her head. It was to late to take it back as the shorting hate shouted "what secret? Ohh well nevermind that I need to pick your house. You are obviously secretive perhaps Slytherin? Ohh you are also incredibly smart. Are you a ravenclaw? Ohh even more so loyal maybe you are a hufflepuff. HMMMM I KNOW YOU STAND FOR WHAT IS RIGHT AND YOU ARE BRAVE! GRYFFINDOR!". She then felt her heart sink and she then had the hat ripped from her head. The twins screamed "OH MY GOD WE GOT A MALFOY! THE PRINCESS OF SLYTHERIN! HA!". They jumped up and down mockingly. She looked at the floor choked up and scared. The gasps of surprise and mutters filled the great hall. Fallowed by loud clapping from every house apart from slytherin. She did not dare to look up to see her brothers expression. Then she forced herself to sit down at the Gryffindor table. She received a few friendly hellos and then stared at her empty plate. Nobody continued to talk to her sensing her distress. Her brother sat across the hall with an expression that would make you think someone had just been killed. After the feast ended she was lead upstairs and told the password. The only person who had been sorted in a similar fashion to her was Harry. She soon snuggled into her dorm bed and sunk into a deep sleep after the thoughts whirled through her head.
