Chloe's P.O.V.
I was at the King's Cross train station in London on platform nine and three quarters standing next to my longtime friend, Draco Malfoy, but I think I should introduce myself first. Hi, my name is Chloe Catherin Ryans … and well you will find out my other last name soon enough. Yes, I am a Pure-Blood, my family is rich, I live in a big manor next to the Malfoys. My parents and Draco's parents are the best of friends, or should I say my father is, my mother was killed when I was four.
"Chloe, Chloe!" Draco called "did you hear the famous little Harry Potter is attending Hogwarts with us this year?" He asked bitterly.
"No" I answered simply. I had heard a lot about this boy-who-lived, I was actually excited to meet him, unlike Draco on the other hand, I think he's is jealous of Harry. One thing I had heard about Harry is that he has a lightning shaped scar on the left side of his forehead. It was very interesting who a toddler just over a year old was able to not die from the killing curse and defeat the Dark Lord Voldemort. Yes, I am not afraid of the name and to be honest I don't understand why other people are, I mean its just a name.
The whole train ride to Hogwarts Draco was talking how excited he was for us both to be in Slytherin together. Yeah his entire family has been Slytherins same with my family, but I wanted to be different. I was secretly hoping to be in Gryffindor, I don't even know why. I was half paying attention when Draco was complaining to his new friends, Crabbe and Goyle, about how first years cant be on the house quiddich team when a girl with slightly frizzy hair came by.
"Has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville Longbottom has lost his, again." she stated sounding annoyed.
"No" I replied because non of the boys where paying attention "but would you like some help? I asked politely with a kind smile.
"Yes please,." she answered, returning the kind smile." by the way, I'm Hermione Granger."
We had been walking around the train for about 15 minutes when we reach a set of seats with two boy (first years I think), a fat rat and loads of candy and sweets. One of the boys had red hair (he must be a Weasly) had his wand out, it looked like he was going to do some magic. The other boy had jet black, shaggy hair and round glasses.
"Have any of you seen a toad?" she asked. Both the boys shook their heads, then Hermione realised the red haired boy's wand. "oh, are you doing magic? lets see then." said as he cleared his throat.
"Sunshine Daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid, fat rat yellow!" he said, taped the rat, but nothing happened.
"are you sure that is a real spell? Well Its not a very good one is it?" she announced as she walked over to the other bench, across from the other boy. I took a seat next her, across from the red haired boy.
"Looks like you need you glasses fixed" she said as she whipped out her wand and said some spell that I never heard of but the tape across the bridge of the glasses rolled up and vanished. The boy took of his glasses in fascination." Oh my!" she gasped" you're Harry Potter! And you are?" she asked the ginger.
"Ron Weasly." he said with a mouth full of food. I knew he was a Weasly!
"Fantastic" she said in disgust " I'm Hermione Granger and this is Chloe Ryans." she smiled as she Introduced us. "Well," she sais standing up," you better get your robes on, we should be arriving at any moment." she stated and walked out with me right behind her in excitement because I just met Harry Potter!
For the rest of the train trip, I sat with Hermione, Neville and a boy named Seamus. We were currently talking about who is pure-blood, half-blood and muggle-born.
"I'm half and half" Seamus Declared "Me mom's a witch, me dad's a muggle. Me mom didn't tell him until after they where married. Quite a big surprise to him." he laughed slightly "What about you, Longbottom?"
"Uh... I'm pure-blood I guess." he said but it almost sounded like a question." I mean both my are witch and wizards so..." he trailed off. '" What about you Hermione?"
Hermione cleared her throat nervously and the spoke" I'm... I'm... muggle-born." she stated sulking into her seat.
"That's nothing to be ashamed of." Seamus informed her. "There are so many muggle-born people in this wizarding world that no one will notice. ''Plus I bet you'll be the brightest witch for you age." Neville said with a smile. "What about you Chloe?" Neville asked turning to me.
"Pure-blood" I answered simply, looking out the window. The three of them carried on a conversation as I looked at the familiar castle. I say familiar because my dad is a professor.
Fifteen minutes later the train came to a screech stop and students filled off the train. As we exited off the train Hermione, Neville, Seamus and I saw a huge man, about 7''8 I'd think, He must have been half human, half giant.
We walked down to the lake when He yelled "No more than four a boat!" All four of pilled into the boat and left for the castle.
After we arrived at the school we I saw Draco and walked over to him and he was talking to Crabbe and Goyle once again. As I stood next to him he put him arm around my shoulders, as a friendly gesture. He was four inches taller than me so I was 5'' and he was 5''4.
"hi" he said with a smile
"hi" I said back. We were walking up the big stair cases when we were stopped by Professor McGonagall.
"Hello first-year students! Welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!" she exclaimed cheerfully " Now in a few moments you will enter the great hall to be sorted into your houses. The four houses are; Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin and Gryffindor!" she explained more things than allowed us to enter the Great Hall. As soon as we entered saw Professor Dumbledore, Snape. Querill and Hagrid. We all stopped in front of a plain stool and old, dust hat. Everyone looked at it in confusion but I knew exactly what it was, The Sorting Hat! The only reason I know this is from last year, I was siting with my dad and watched the students get sorted. All of a sudden Professor McGonagall started calling out names, this will take a long time.
Draco and I are the only people that I know who haven't been sorted yet. So far Hermione, Ron, Harry and Neville are in Gryffindor and Crabbe and Goyle are in Slytherin. Then Draco's name is called. He walks up and sits on the stool, the hat wasn't even 100% on his head when it shouted "SLYTHERIN''. Now I was nervous because I was one of the last students still standing. My heart was racing when I heard my name. I walked up and saw my dad smiling. Weird, he almost never smiles. I brushed it off and sat on the stool.
"Hmmm... Interesting indeed. Whole family where Slytherins but you are different. I'm thinking Gryffindor," the hat whispered. I was silently hoping that he would shout Gryffindor but then I would let down my dad, family and my best friend. Finally the hat made up its mind "GRYFFINDOR'' It yelled. I was so happy as I ran down the stairs to be greeted by the Gryffindors but the I looked at my dad, he looked pleased for some odd reason. Then I noticed Draco staring at me disbelief, as soon as I saw him my heart sank. This is going to be a long year.
