AN: Everything belongs to J.K Rowling. I own nothing(unfortunately).
This is my first Harry Potter fanfiction so go easy please. I'm new to this :D This is in Astoria's perspective but the first little paragraph is in 3rd person.
Mr. and Mrs. Greengrass stood proudly as they watched their 2 only daughters get on the train to Hogwarts. Daphne, their oldest, was tall, thin, and a little bit vain. Her midnight black hair was quite the opposite from her younger sisters, golden blonde. Suddenly she bolted past her sister and leapt onto the train. She was now in her third year while her younger sister was in her first. Astoria, the baby of the family, was definitely not a baby no more. She stood straight and walked briskly toward the steaming train with a huge smile on her face. Her blonde curls shook as she giggled at something a girl beside her said. But when she got to the looming entrance of train, she instantly paled. She turned around and waved at her parents again and blew kisses. She looked so unlike her headstrong self that her mother almost ran to her side in worry. But she placed a smile on her face once again and clambered up the stairs.
As soon as I got to long hallway I relaxed and instantly felt at home. I was meant to be on his train, headed to Hogwarts. I was so happy when I got the letter inviting me to Hogwarts. My sister, on the other hand, was the opposite. She made it loud and clear that she did not want her "baby sister annoying and bugging her and her friends and that she should just stay home". Speaking of the devil, where was Daphne?
I cautiously walked down the hall where the older kid's compartments were, looking for my sister who would most likely be with her snobby, vain friends. What happened to her promise to stick with me? I searched for her dark haired head through the compartment windows. I stopped when I heard Daphne's familiar snort from somewhere behind me. I turned around just in time to get out of her way as she barreled past me, hauling 2 girls and another one following her.
"Daphne! Wait!" I called after her, as I tried to catch up with her. She slid to a stop and looked around in bewilderment. "What?" She asked confusingly.
"Over here." I replied as I waved frantically and came to a stop in front of her. "Tori!" She squealed and squeezed me in a fake hug and shoved me toward her friends, who had stopped also.
"Who is this?" The one with short dark hair said with undisguised distaste. I had a feeling I had met her before but I could not recall her name.
"This is my baby sister, Astoria. Astoria, you probably remember her but this is Pansy Parkinson, and this is Dana Selwyn and her cousin Katrina Rosier." Daphne giggled and the disgusted look left Pansy's face and she smiled an sickly sweet smile at me. Dana nodded while Katrina merely nodded but I smiled at them all.
"C'mon Daphne! Let's go sit with Draco! I haven't seen him in ages!" Pansy demanded with an awfully nasally tinge.
"Wait! Daphne, can I come?" I said softly and she looked at me in disbelief and then she snorted.
"Of course not!" She replied and opened the door of a compartment near her and slammed the door behind her friends. The hallway was empty and I was feeling lonely, scared and mad at my sister for abandoning me. Suddenly something came over me and I panicked. I peered through the window and saw my sister sitting beside Pansy, Dana and Katrina. Across the aisle were 2 huge, bulking boys and a platinum blonde haired boy. The blonde one was beside the window and was turned toward the others. He was smirking in an arrogant way and Pansy and Daphne were giggling at something.
I sighed and found an empty compartment. I closed the compartment door and I curled up in a seat. The cold feeling spread threw me and I huddled in a ball, my arms around me. Sadness and depression wracked through my body but then was replaced with gut wrenching fear. The windows covered with an icy coat of frost, crackling the whole time. I watched as a filmy black form floated by my window, only pausing a second to peer in and then it moved on. I didn't realize I had been holding my breath through the whole ordeal until it came out in a big rush. I tried to relax and closed my eyes.
I wondered if I'd be in Slytherin. Everybody in my family had always been sorted into Slytherin and I probably would too. I wanted to be in Slytherin but I didn't always think I was always suited to it. Every Slytherin I had known was a vain, rich and a snotty pureblood. But if I thought about it, so was I, sometimes.
When the train slid to a stop, the cold feeling disappeared and I sighed in relief. I jumped to my feet and burst through the compartment door, pulling my trunk with me. When I got off the train, a big hairy man with a lantern was waiting for us.
"Firs' years! Hallo! My name's Hagrid! I'm tha keeper of keys an' grounds here at Hogwarts." His voice boomed out and I almost flinched at how loud it was. But another boy, who was standing beside me, jumped and then everybody turned and laughed at him. I instantly felt bad for him.
"You better watch out, first year, if you're not careful, Hagrid might eat ya." The arrogant voice came from behind us and I turned around to see the platinum blonde boy from the train. I saw the familiar crest of Slytherin on the boys robes that I had seen many times on my sister's. He had a big arrogant smirk on his face and he was flanked by the 2 big boys from the train.
"Excuse me, but who are you?" I asked rudely and put a hand on my hip. He narrowed his eyes at me and then broke out in laughter. His buddies looked at him like he was insane and then he elbowed them and they began to laugh along with him. I raised an eyebrow and looked at the boy beside me.
"What is wrong with them?" I directed this question at the boy and he shrugged. In a whole second the blonde boy went from dying from laughter to smirking again.
"Wow! Two little first years already standing up to us! Ha!" He laugeds once again.
"You didn't answer my question." I replied arrogantly. He looked at me in disbelief quickly before switching back to that god awful smirk. Just then my sister, Pansy, Dana and Katrina ran up to us and Daphne threw an arm my shoulders.
"Why are you talking to her?" Daphne narrowed her eyes at the blonde boy and I could tell that she's trying to be protective but it doesn't work when you're really not.
"I wasn't talking to her, she was talking to me. And why do you care?" He replied rudely. Daphne snorted and unwound her arm from my shoulder and put her hand on her hip.
"She's my sister. Astoria these are some of the annoying boys I have to share my house with." Daphne laughed while ogling him with an endearing gaze. The blonde boy merely shrugged.
"Oh. Malfoy, Draco Malfoy. This is Crabbe and that's Goyle." Draco pointed at the two boys. I had met him before, a very long time ago when I was young. His face had seemed a bit familiar.
"Astoria Greengrass." I replied and smiled. Draco smirked some more and then quickly excused himself with Crabbe and Goyle trailing after him.
"Wait! Draco!" Pansy whined and stamped her foot like a child after something has been taken away and ran after him.
"So, Tori, which house do you want to be in?" Dana asked and Daphne perked up and her eyes glued on me.
"Slytherin,of course!" I exclaimed and tried to forget my insecurities.
"You better go! The other first years are going to leave without you! Go so you can sit with someone you want to." Daphne squealed and shoved me in the direction of the other first years.
