My home life had been pretty rough, considering my parents were death eaters. We're the Roufulis family, one of Lord Voldemort's most trusted death eater families. My mum is Ellanina Roufulis, married to my dad Authillus Roufulis. We live in a mansion, right next to the Malfoy's. I've never met them considering I very rarely leave the house, little did I know that I will be gone most of the time, for seven years.
I was brushing my shoulder length, light brown hair in my mirror that took up half the wall, when my mother walked into my room holding a letter addressed to me.
"For you, Selene." She said in her usual stern voice.
I carefully opened the envelope and unfolded a piece of parchment.
"Hogwarts? What in the name of Merlin's pants is that?"
"A school, a magic school. Hogwarts is a school for witchcraft and wizardry. You will attend for seven years. When you get there you will be sorted into a house, there are four. Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw are two houses, they are weak. Gryffindor is the house of the filthily blood traders. And Slytherin, the strongest house for pure-bloods like us! Your father in I were once in Slytherin. The dark lord was also in Slytherin. See Selene, Slytherin is where you belong in Hogwarts."
"But mum, how do you know I will be in Slytherin?"
"Salazar Slytherin founded the house, you are related to him! Your father and I are loyal death eaters, and someday you will be too! Selene, you're strong, you will follow in our footsteps." She told me. "Draco, the Malfoy's boy will also be attending, hopefully he will be in Slytherin also. His parents want nothing more but for their son to be in the best and strongest house in the school."
"I cant wait." I said rather enthusiastically.
"Put your cloak on, we're going to Diagon Ally to get your school supplies." Mother said, and walked out of my room leaving me with the letter.
My parents brought me to Diagon Ally to get the supplies on my list. Of course, I got the finest books and supplies, along with my black cat I named Nina, after my mother.
"Selene, its time to get your wand." My mum told me
We walked into a musty shop, boxes piled everywhere, from the ground to the ceiling. A man kept giving me wands, his name is Mr. Ollivander. I had to keep waving them until I found the right one. Finally, a wand chose me. The core was a Runespoor fang. My mother was very proud of me, it felt good to have her happy with me for once. After I got my wand, we were getting some money from Gringotts when we ran into the Malfoy's.
"Selene, this is Lucius, Narcissa, and Draco Malfoy. Draco's your age." My mum told me.
"Hello, Selene." Lucius greeted me. He seemed very reserved and quite intimidating.
"Draco, this is Authillus, Ellanina, and Selene Roufulis." I heard Narcissa whisper to Draco.
"Hi." Draco spat, he seemed very snobby.
"Selene, you are to sit with Draco on the Hogwarts express." My dad told me, I just nodded my head and looked at my coins, trying to escape out of Draco's gaze.
"Goodbye for now Lucius." Dad said, and walked out of Gringotts holding my shoulder.
That night, the night before I would leave to Hogwarts, I found myself thinking about Draco a lot. He was very attractive to me. Of course I cowered away from him at Gringotts, I have seven years to prove myself. Starting tomorrow, the Hogwarts express awaits me.
