Mora hugged her mother close and whispered in her ear,
"Tell Dad I love him" Luna nodded and watched her only child skip towards the Hogwarts Express She looks so much like her Daddy It was true, Mora was very much her father's child that it was a wonder people hadn't noticed. Her face was sharper than her mother's soft elf like features. Her hair, which was straight and cut to her shoulders, was paler than her mother's with none of the Lovegood gold in it. Her eyes were her mother's soft grey but they were her father's shape. Noone noticed though, or if they did they never voiced anything other than how pretty they were.

Mora sat in a compartment with her life long friends, Albus Potter, Rose Weasly and her brother Hugo, James Potter had dropped in to say hi but had since disappeared to catch up with his old friends.
The conversation turned to the sorting ceremony,
"We'll be in Gryffindor" Said Hugo, flicking pieces of parchment at the ceiling "I mean out Mum was and so was Dad and Grandpa and Granny" Mora spoke up,
"My Mum wasn't in Gryffindor" Under all of her laughing and smiling, no doubt inherited and learnt from her mother, Mora had a serious, sometimes bordering on depressive, streak. Rose saw the worry in her friends eyes,
"You'll be in Ravenclaw then, that's just as good as Gryffindor"
Mora looked out at the darkening sky and sighed, How will they react if I'm in Slytherin? A sunnier voice spoke They'll be suprised but they're your friends so they wont care
"Hey everyone" It was Rose and Hugo's cousin Victorie,
"We'll be there soon you'd better get changed" She turned to her cousins "I'll see you at dinner then after you're sorted"
"You think we'll be in Gryffindor then?" Hugo asked, Victorie nodded,
"Of course"

Everyone watched as firstyear after firstyear was sorted, each table cheered as student after student joined them,
Noone's joined Slytherin so far
They were into the Ls now,
"Lampford Sara"
"Hufflepuff"
"Leywood Graham"
"Ravenclaw"
"Lovegood Mora" She sat on the ancient wooden stool and took a deep breath as the hat was lowered over her eyes,
"SLYTHERIN!" The hat shouted and the whole hall started to whisper,
"Slytherin"
"There's not a witch or wizard that went bad who wasn't in Slytherin"
The students of Slytherin stared at her approaching their table, which was half the size of the others, in amazement. A second year boy, with curly black hair and dark brown eyes, started to cheer and applaude, and soon the whole table was at it. Mora smiled and sat beside him, he held out his hand for her to shake,
"Simon Zabini"
"Mora Lovegood"
"It's great to have some new faces around" Another second year turned to Simon,
"What about your sister and cousin?"
"They don't count, anyway I don't think Laura will be a Slytherin"
Mora watched as her friends were sorted,
"Gryffindor!" The hat shouted before it even touched Albus' head. Mora waved but he didn't see her.
"Friend of yours?" Simon asked, Mora nodded,
"I've known him for my whole life, he and my other friends are all in Gryffindor"
A shadow crossed his face for a moment Poor girl He thought She'll learn soon enough that every Slytherin is tarred with the same brush
"Tinworth Laura"
"Ravenclaw"
"I told you my cousin wouldn't be a Slytherin"
Three more students joined Slytherin in quick succesion, Peter Unwin and his non identical twin brother Henry and a willowy, dark haired girl named Undine Vespera, the sorting ended with Simon's sister Brisa joining them, she squeezed in beside Mora and smiled,
"Hey I'm Brisa, is Simon chatting you up already?" Simon took an affectionate swipe at his little sister and they all laughed.

In the dormitory Mora unpacked her things and placed a few momentos on her bedside table. A photo of hermather and her pet white rabbit Muffins, a pair of spectrespecs and her mother's lucky quill that changed colour and pattern every few minutes. She lay in her bed and smiled Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life A darker voice spoke,
And the day you find out who your friends really are.
