I'd like to think I knew exactly what I was doing. Truth is I had absolutely no idea! I was a stupid girl but not as stupid as the rest of them! I suppose I should introduce myself Hello, my name is Astrid Folles pureblood and I was born in Sozopol Bulgaria. We lived in Sozopol until I was maybe about 9 or 10. My father wanted mother and I too moved back to Paris with him. There I attended The Beuaxbatons Academy of Magic. This is where my life turns to shit! Both my parents are well known Maziologist and wanted to study the more fascinating creatures in Britain.
Do you realize how hard it is to transfer in the middle of term! The amount of paperwork my parents had fill out to assure I could attend Hogwarts. Transfer students weren't common in any magical school but middle of the term transfers! Most get an acceptances letter to Hogwarts but no not me I had to apply. Granted I was almost automatically given a place in the school but still.
So now I'm sitting in Headmasters office waiting to be sorted. I was told that the sorting ceremony is much more grand than this. They place this old disgusting hat on my head and thus begging my sorting ceremony- Let's fast forward a bit I was put into Ravenclaw and shown to the common room. Once there this older woman explained everything needed to know about this room. She then took me to the top of the stairs to a room with only one other bed in it.
"You'll be sharing this room with Monica Price 5th year" I smiled
"Any other girls?" There was no answer I threw my stuff on the empty bed and laid down.
"Dinner is in one hour " I jumped up forgetting the lady was still here. "oh ok". After a while that lady left how the hell am I supposed to find The Great Hall?! I could go down now but I'd probably get in trouble for it. Fuck It! I thought I'll just go now who are they going to report to?!
Locating The Great Hall was easier than expected. Students began piling in all sitting at their respective house tables. A girl from the Ravenclaw table waved frantically at me. I walked over to her
"You must be Astrid" she stuck out her hand "I'm Monica you're roommate."
"Oh hi" I said taking a seat,
"I'm Nic, nice to finally meet you"
"There's been so much talk of a new girl we're all just really excited that you were sorted into Ravenclaw" Monica beamed.
"What are the other houses again" I asked again slightly embarrassed. The boy named Nic laughed before he answered
"There's Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw." I noded but knowing me I'd probably forget
"Can I see your schedule?" Monica asked "Oh yeah here" she took it from my hand and read it over with Nic looking over her shoulder.
"We have that class" Nic pointed to spot on the parchment.
"Which one?"
"Slughorn" he said without looking at me. Our conversations continued like that they told me where all my classes were. After a while Monica suggested we go to the library because she had a paper to finish.
The library was bigger than I imagined, Nic and Monica rushed over to an empty section and sat at an empty table.
"Astrid" I turned to Monica
"You can look around if you'd like."
"Yeah ok" I answered as took off. I went up and down the aisles reading the spines as I passed. Tomorrow's going to be strange I thought. One particular book caught my eye 'Hogwarts: A History' I'm sure I could learn loads from this I pulled it down from the shelf.
"You're going to start with that" a mysterious voice said from behind. I quickly turned around to see a tall Slytherin boy smirking at me if I'm honest he was really attractive.
"So you're the new girl" he said
"We were kind of hoping you'd be sorted into Slytherin" "Oh well sorry about it" I smirked back at him. The boy stood up straight before he spoke again
"Tom Riddle" he stuck his hand out
"Astrid Folles" I replied taking his hand. I turned back to the book hoping he would go away but he didn't. I began to read before Tom Riddle spoke again
"You know if you want to learn something interesting read chapter 6." I flipped to that specific chapter 'The Founders of Hogwarts'.
It was late when I finally got back to The Ravenclaw Tower, I climbed the stairs to the dorm Monica was already there.
"Astrid!" I smiled at her
"Did you like the library?"
"Yeah" I sat on my bed as Monica got undressed for the night
"Hey, Monica can I ask you something?" she nodded brushing her hair
"What's Tom Riddle's deal?" Monica immediately stopped brushing her hair
"Tom Riddle? Tom Riddle?" I nodded I didn't understand her reaction
"He's probably the best looking boy in our year hell the whole school!" Well there is no denying that you cut yourself with that jawline.
"Yeah but he's kind of an ass" Monica started to laugh
"Don't let anyone else hear you" She pointed her hairbrush at me. What does every girl have a crush on him that seems a little pointless doesn't really seems like the dating type.
"I bet you're really tired" Monica said interrupting my thoughts
"Oh yeah" I yawned getting under my comforter
"Good night Astrid." We didn't talk after that I guess she's a heavy sleeper I rolled over to my side facing the wall. I'm really dreading tomorrow I have Slughorn potions hopefully he won't be as strict as my last professor. Soon after I slowly fell into a dreamless sleep.
