AN: Ok so this is my first ever Harry Potter fanfic I've had this idea in my head for a while and just had to write it to see how it turns out. I'm twisting and changing things a bit so please be aware of that Please review and tell me what you guys think.

I was currently standing in Dumbledore's office. Why? Well that's the question isn't it? My mother had been killed one week ago today; our house had been blown up by what they call death eaters. Since then I have been moved from house to house by people I don't even know! It's bloody frustrating to say the least. I'm sitting slumped in a chair in front of the headmaster's huge desk with my wand sitting on it in front of me. I have never attended a proper magic school; I've been home schooled all my life for reason's you will most likely find out very soon. I heard the door open but didn't bother turning around, three people appeared in my line of vision professor Dumbledore sat down in his chair and the other two stood off to the side.

'It's true then Albus you actually found her.'

I looked at the man who spoke he was dressed in all black robes and had black hair that fell to just above his shoulders. I glared at him then went back to staring at my wand.

'Yes Severus I did find her she wasn't that hard to track down after I found out she had been passed through death eaters.'

My head snapped up at that I had been with death eaters for the past week?! They were the ass holes that killed my mother!

'Zandrina this is Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall who both teach here at Hogwarts. Now your probably wondering why you're here am I right?'

'Yes.'

He sighed but continued. 'Do you know who your father is?'

'Tom Riddle sir.'

'Do you know who he truly is though?'

I looked at him for a moment before speaking slowly. 'Yes he is known these days as Lord Voldemort my mother told me he is a very dark and dangerous wizard and is barley alive because of Harry Potter.'

'Ah so you know a fair bit then.'

'Of course sir he's my father I have a few pictures of him and me when I was just born and one of him my mother and me that I always keep with me in my bag.'

'I see. Now a lot of people are worried that your just like him but I believe your not correct?'

'No sir I'm actually a really nice and caring person, I'm a bit of a leader well I guess I was in my group of friends… they also have said before that I'm brave and one of the friendliest person they know.' I smiled slightly. 'My mum used to describe me like that but she would also say you don't want to mess with me because I may be beautiful but I'm dangerous and it's best not to get me angry.' I blushed a little looking down at my fingers.

'Hmm I see. Well would you like to attend school here now? I am aware you have been home schooled all your life yes?'

'Yes that's true, I'm pretty sure that I might be behind a year though.'

'Well even though you are fifteen I think it might be best for you to start here in fourth year.'

'That sounds good I guess.'

'Now I got all the things you will need along with robes which you can put on through the door to your right and then follow Professor McGonagall to the great hall where you will sorted along with the first years. Now I must ask do you have any special gifts that you may of required from your fathers side?'

I looked at him then the other two professors who were all looking at me with interest. I looked down.

'I'm a parselmouth.'

'I thought you would be…it seems to be hereditary.'

'I can also speak to other animals…'

'That I didn't know, that's a special gift. Ok well now get changed and I'll see you in the great hall.'

He got up and grabbed some robes of a shelf and handed them to me then walked out of the room followed by Professor Snape.

'Well go get changed Miss Riddle.'

I jumped up at McGonagall's voice and went to the room the Dumbledore had pointed out earlier which turned out to be a bathroom. I quickly changed and folded my other clothes up before walking out and placing them on the desk. I picked up my wand a placed in inside my robe.

McGonagall looked at me. 'Very good now follow me please.'

I followed her out of the office and down a flight of stairs before arriving where a group of very nervous first years stood. I smirked as a few of them backed away from me.

'Ok now listen up everyone I am going to lead you all into the great hall where you will stand at the front facing the stool and the sorting hat which will place you in your house. Zandrina will be placed first as she is going to be in fourth year.'

I nodded to her saying that I understood. She turned around and the doors opened she led us in with me following right behind her and the first years behind me. I could hear whispers and felt all eyes on me; I stood up straighter and walked with pride down the middle of the hall. McGonagall motioned me to come sit on the stool after she picked up the hat. Everyone fell silent as Professor Dumbledore stood up to address the school.

'As you all can see we have a new student that is clearly not in her first year. She is fifteen years old but will be starting in fourth year due to being home schooled. Now everybody Zandrina Riddle will now be sorted.'

As soon as he mentioned my last name whispers went flying through the hall, I knew this would happen but I can't help who my father is.

'QUIET!'

Everyone went silent as Professor McGonagall placed the sorting hat on my head.

'Hmmm this one is very interesting… Very smart… very brave and loyal…but oh what do we have here a heir of Salazar Slytherin… very hard indeed.'

Whispers were flying around the hall at the mention of me being an heir of Slytherin.

'Do I put you in Gryffindor… you would do well in there…hmmm no it must be SLYTHERIN!'

The Slytherin table got up and started cheering and clapping. I made my way over to the far side were half way down the table people were making room for me. I sat down and looked to my right to see a girl with mid-length brown hair and hazel eyes, I smiled at her.'

'Hi I'm Zandrina Riddle.'

'I'm Danielle Parker it's nice to meet you.' She smiled at me and pointed to my left side.

I looked to where she was pointing to see a tall blonde haired boy with grey eyes. He smiled at me.

'I'm Draco Malfoy.' He offered me his hand to shake.

'Zandrina Riddle.' I said grasping it firmly. He looked at me and smirked which I returned before letting go and introducing myself to other people.

Before I had even noticed all the first years had been sorted and Dumbledore was standing up to make a speech. We all hushed up and turned our attention to him.

'Well now that we're all settled and sorted, I'd like to make an announcement. This castle will not only be your home this year but home to some very special guests as well. You see, Hogwarts has been chosen to host a legendary event: The Triwizard Tournament. The Tournament brings together three schools for a series of magical contests. From each school a single student is to compete. Now let me be clear. If chosen, you stand-alone. And trust me when I say, these contests are not for the faint-hearted. But more of that later. Please give a warm welcome to the lovely ladies of Beauxbantons and their mistress Madame Maxine!'

A group of girls ran him in tight fitting blue robes and awed and sighed before relishing butterfly's I was quiet repulsed by all the wiggling of there hips and bums which had all the guys staring at them. I hit Draco over the back of the head with my hand and he turned around and glared at me before rubbing his head. I smirked and turned back to where Dumbledore was waiting for our attention.

'And now our friends from the north the boys from Dumstrange and their High leader Igor Karkaroff.'

These boys came in banging sticks around and making weird noises, one of them started brake dancing and I was trying so hard not to laugh. I noticed the Bulgarian seeker Victor Krum among them. They walked over and sat down at the end of our table I quickly glanced at them before turning my attention back to the front of the hall.

'You attention please. I'd like to say a few words. Eternal Glory. That is what awaits the student who wins the Triwizard Tournament. But to do this the student must survive three tasks. Three extremely dangerous tasks. To explain all this we have the Head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, Mr. Bartemus Crouch…'

Professor Dumbledore stood aside as Mr. Crouch approached the front.

'Because of the risks and danger in this tournament no one under the age of seventeen will be allowed to enter.'

Everyone started yelling out stuff about how it's ridicules and what not. Two identical red headed boys from the Gryffindor table stood up and started yelling that its rubbish. I looked at them before turning to Draco.

'Who are the two identical red-headed boys over there?' I asked pointing towards them.

His lips turned up into a snarl. 'Weasley's.'

'I'm guessing you don't like them.'

'Slytherin's don't really talk to other houses and we HATE Gryffindor's. The Weasley's are all friends with Potter and they are all blood traitors.'

'Hmmm fair enough then.'

'EVERYONE QUIET!'

Everyone shut up and turned their attention to Dumbledore once again. He was standing next to a goblet.

'The goblet of Fire! Anyone wishing to submit themselves to the Tournament need only write their name upon a piece of parchment and throw it in the flames before this hour Thursday night. Do not do so lightly! If chosen there is no turning back. As from this moment the Triwizard tournament has begun!'

He went and sat back down as food appeared on the tables and our plates. After we finished eating we were dismissed. I walked beside Draco and Danielle out of the hall. In the rush of people just outside of the hall I bumped into a girl who I accidentally knocked to the ground.

'I am so sorry! Are you ok?' I asked offering her a hand, which she took.

'I really am sorry I didn't mean to knock you over.'

'I'm fine really.' She looked up and her face fell and took a small step back.

'Are you sure?'

'Y'yeah I'm fine'

'You ok Ginny?' Two voices said at the same time. I saw the Weasley twins as Draco told me; come up behind her and each place a hand on her shoulder.

'I'm fine guys, excuse me.' She brushed past them and raced up the stairs, well that was weird.

'Zandrina are you ok?' Draco came up beside me.

'Yes Draco I'm fine. I accidentally knocked over a girl I was just seeing if she was ok.'

'That girl was our sister.' The twins said at the same time, it was seriously creepy.

'And I seriously don't care!' Draco said rather rudely.

'And why the hell where you seeing if she was ok?' He asked me.

'I didn't know who she was!'

'Come one we have to go to our common rooms.' He grabbed my wrist and started pulling me. I looked back to the twins and gave them a small smile before following Draco towards looked like the dungeons. We came to a dead end.

'Mudblood' Draco said and the wall moved across and I followed Draco through the wall into the common room. It had antique and the finest furniture, and decorated with green and silver.

'The password changes each month and will be posted on the bulletin board. The girls rooms are up those stairs you will be sharing a room with Danielle, Pansy and Celeste.'

'Right thanks Draco, Night.'

'Goodnight.'

I ran up the stairs Draco told me to and opened the door that said 4th on it. I saw Danielle and three two other girls sitting on there beds they all looked at me as I entered.

'Hey Zandrina this is Pansy and Celeste.' Danielle told me.

As soon as I looked at Pansy I knew we wouldn't get along she had her nose screwed up and was glaring at me. I went and sat down next to Danielle and Celeste.

'What's her problem?' I whispered into Celeste's ear.

'Draco took a lot of interest in you tonight and she's pretty much obsessed with him…'

'Ahh right…'

'Anyway the bed behind the door is yours and I guess the window in the corner is your little area, but just warning you because were so far down our windows are actually under the Black Lake.'

'Really, awesome!'

I walked over to my bed and saw a truck with my initials on it. I opened it up to see all of my clothes I had at my friend's house the night my mum had been killed and extra's along with a satchel and all the books and supplies I need. I grabbed some pajamas and went to the bathroom to get changed, I put my robes in my trunk and climbed into my bed.

'Night everyone!'

'Night' said Danielle and Celeste.

I pulled the curtains around my bed and snuggled under my covers falling into a peaceful sleep.
