Chapter 1-Sorting
The boats carrying the anxious first year floated over the cool liquid blackness as they ploughed towards the impressive castle that stood on the vast cliffs in front of them. An eleven-year-old Harry Potter sat next to his new friends in a boat near the centre of the group. But for the moment he is not the centre of our tale. Oh sure, he plays a big part but for now we are focussing on the boat at the very back of the group.
This boat held three girls. Just from looking at them you could tell they were different. The first girl had an angular face with long hair that came tumbling down her back in a rainbow of different colours and piercing eyes that were half bright blue, half bright green. The second girl had a round, happy face that was permanently fixed in a cheeky grin. She had shoulder length black hair with bright pink streaks and the biggest pair of shining silver eyes. As they clambered out of the boats on the other side of the lake you could see that the third girl was considerably shorter than the other two. Her chin length hair was forest green and her sparkling eyes were different shades to each other. One was dark blue while the other one was dark purple. The one thing that they all had in common was they were all astonishingly beautiful.
Once they had all clambered onto the rocky landing platform the giant man led the group towards the castle. The trio stayed at the back of the group as they walked, arms linked in a chain. The rest of the soon-to-be student kept there distance from the strange girls, although some boys seemed to find it hard to stop staring at the beautiful examples of the opposite sex, include Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley. The girls were oblivious to this attention as they chatted away animatedly to one another.
As they approached the impressive doors every fell silent, including the trio at the back. The giant man opened the doors and led the group into a small room where an aging woman in dark green robes was waiting for them.
"My name is Professor McGonagall. In a few moments you will go into the Great Hall to be sorted." She said grandly. "There are four houses. Gryfindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin…." And then she went on to explain about house points and rule breaking. Finally she said "I will return to get you when it is time."
As soon as she was gone a dull murmuring descended on the room as the first years chatted nervously to each other. A pale boy with greasy blonde hair and a pointed nose strode to the front and stood in front of one Harry Potter. His face was set in a permanent sneer as he looked down at the rest of the students.
"So, it's true then." He drawled. "Harry Potter has finally come to Hogwarts" The residents of the room burst into urgent whispers. "My names Malfoy" said the pale boy to Harry. "Draco Malfoy."
Everyone was quiet at this statement, but from the back of the room came a burst of laughter. The trio of strange girls at the back were all shaking with laughter, holding each other off the ground. The girl with green hair managed to calm down first.
"Draco Malfoy? That is the most ridiculas name I have ever heard!" she exclaimed before falling into a fit of giggles. Malfoy's cheeks went bright pink in embarrassment as everyone laughed.
"And what about his complexion." said the girl with green hair. "It looks like someone dunked him in a tub of bleach." The three girls doubled over and clutched there sides as they laughed, oblivious to the fact that everyone was staring at the quietly.
"What's Bleach?" Whispered one student to another.
"How dare you…" started Malfoy but before he could say anymore Professor McGonagall appeared behind him.
"Everybody follow me."
"Abbott, Hannah"
A girl walked towards the stool and the hat. The other first years looked down right terrified but the strange trio were completely at ease, looking around in wonder and have whispering conversations with each other.
"HUFFLEPUFF!" shouted the hat and the now smiling girl ran over to the Hufflepuff table. Professor McGonagall looked down at her parchment and frowned.
"Blonde, Ivy" she said hesitantly.
The girl with forest green hair and mismatch eyes waved goodbye to her friends and walked towards the sorting hat, her back straight and her head held high. She had to jump slightly to reach the seat and as the hat was placed on her head she swung he feet a little, which were just the tiniest bit too short to reach the ground. The hat stayed on her head for a couple of minutes before it exclaimed "Gryfindor!"
The sorting continued through the alphabet until something strange happened when they got to the M's. Professor McGonagall frowned at her parchment once more but this time her expression stayed in one of absolute puzzlement as she called out the next name.
"Minx?"
The girl with black and pink hair bounded towards the sorting hat, her smile seemed so wide that it would surely burst off her face. If she was at all concerned at the fact that she seemed to have no last name she didn't she it. When she was almost at the stool someone wolf whistled at her. The sound seemed to be coming from a pair of red-head twin Gryfindors. Minx turned around and raised an eyebrow comically before blowing them an air kiss and giggling. Professor McGonagall cough lightly with impatience. Minx continued her journey up to the stool and plopped down. The sorting hat only took a minute to decide her fate.
"Gryfindor!"
Minx jumped off the stool and ran over to join her friend at the Gryfindor table When she was seated they both waved to their remaining friend who was still waiting to be sorted. So far she hadn't smiled at all. While the other two seemed to have smiles permanently fixed on their faces, her expression never wavered from a straight glare that would frighten of anyone. Except maybe when she was laughing at Malfoy.
A short time after Minx was sorted 'Potter, Harry' was called. Everyone was particuly interested in this sorting but the remaining strange girl took no notice.
"I still can't believe I've meet Harry Potter." Said the red head standing beside her as Harry Potter went to the Gryfindor table.
"What's so special about Harry Potter?" asked the girl. The red head gaped at her. But before he could say anything Professor McGonagall called her name.
"Secret, Hidden."
The girl scowled at the use of her full name and stalked up to the stool. A familiar drawling voice came from the Slytherin table.
"And she laughed at my name!"
At hearing this the girl whipped round and fixed Malfoy with a hard glare. As Malfoy continued to sneer at her the girls eyes crackled with magic and a harsh hissing sound escaped her mouth. Her two incisors in her mouth grew until a pair of deathly white fangs hung over her bottom lip. Malfoy paled and fell quiet.
"Wow" said the red head. "I sure hope she's not in my house…"
