London, September 1st 1962
"I'm gonna be the greatest witch ever" a young girl with long, curly, black hair told her parents exitedly.
"Oh of course you will!" her mother replied "And always remember what I told you about mudbl- muggleborns" she could correct herself before she spoke an insulting word against muggleborns. She thought the other Slytherin students would explain several insults to her daughter sooner or later.
"Never ever hang out with muggleborns because they aren't worth it." The eleven years old girl said smiling at her parents.
After a few minutes of waiting the clock finally showed it was 10:59am and the train will leave platform 9 3/4 in less than a minute.
Without turning around the girl ran straight into the Hogwarts Express.
"I hope everything gets right Cygnus. You know she's a very talented witch, what if she's getting sorted into Ravenclaw instead of Slytherin?"
"Don't worry Druella, she definitly is a Slytherin. Professor Slughorn will be proud to have her." Cygnus said as he saw to the window which was opened by his daughter so she could say goodbye.
"See you mom! See you dad!" she screamed.
"Goodbye Bella!" her parents shouted.
inside the Hogwarts Express
The eleven years old Bellatrix was sitting somewhere in the front of the train. There were many students, older than her, who were already dressed in their Hogwarts school uniform. Most of them were Slytherins. They seemed to be very proud of their house and as she looked around herself she only saw Slytherins. But right there at the other end of the compartment she saw a girl who might be the same age as Bella was, so she went over to her.
"Hello!" Bella said.
"Oh hi!" the girl replied.
"I'm Bellatrix. Bellatrix Black." she said with pride.
"wow you're a member of the Black family! This is great!" the girl spoke in exitement. "My name is Hannah Matthews"
"oh you're a muggleborn then, aren't you?" Bella asked.
"no I'm not. I'm a halfblood"
"Good. What year are you going to be in?"
"It's my very first year" Hannah replied.
"Really? Mine too!" Bella said.
"Let's search a compartment where we can speak in private, Bella."
"Okay"
Ten minutes later they were almost at the other end of the train where they found a compartment with only one boy sitting inside. Bella opened the door.
"Hey, mind if we sit with you?" asked Bella.
"Come in" the boy said.
The girls sat down.
"So, what's your name?" Hannah asked.
"I'm Tomas but you may call me just Tom"
"Well hi Tom, I'm Hannah and this is Bellatrix."
"Is this your first year in Hogwarts, Tom?" Bella asked.
"Yes it is" he answered "I'm very exited because I never knew this school even exists."
"Did you grow up with muggles?" Hannah asked.
"With what?" Tom asked.
"Muggles! non magic people." Bella said.
"Oh yes. I'm the only wizard in my family." Tom said.
"My parents don't like people like you because muggles aren't worth to be given the present of magic." Bella explained.
"And do you like people like me?" asked Tom.
"I don't know yet. You're the first muggleborn I've ever met." Bella continued "My sisters and I grew up around pureblood witches and wizards."
"Well let's just stop talking about this. I'll go and search for the Trolley Witch, do you want anything?" Hannah asked.
"Yes, could you bring me 3 chocolate frogs and some pumpkin juice?" Bella asked.
"Sure. What about you Tom?"
"Oh I don't know anything you just mentioned so I'd just stay with my sandwich"
"Okay fine. I'll go then." Hannah said.
"Wait you need money to buy my stuff. I guess 7 Galleons are enough?" Bella asked.
"I don't know, hehe" Hannah laughed and headed for the Trolley Witch.
