This is my first Harry Potter Fanfic so please be nice. This is set in Harry's first year.

Madii Longgrass kissed goodbye to both her parents, then ran to the train and jumped on. She waved to her parents until the train turned the corner and they were gone.

Madii grabbed her trunk and made her way to a compartment, her trunk was to heavy to drag to far, so she decided to enter.

The compartment was empty apart from another girl. "Hey" Madii said cheerfully. "Do you mind if I sit down?"

"What's your blood status?" She snapped as she stared at her, when she say Madii's blank look she asked. "Your parents are muggles aren't they?"

"Ye-yes" Madii said her voice now worried, why should it matter if her parents were muggles?

"Then yes I do mind, get out you filthy mud blood!"

Madii quickly shut the compartment door and went to another compartment. This one was empty, she spent the rest of the journey to Hogwarts worrying about what was going to happen at school.

When the train stopped at Hogsmead Station she was still worrying. She followed Hagrid with the other first years. Got in a boat with a girl called lavender Brown.

They stood in front of the sorting hat. Suddenly her name was called and she walked forward feeling everyone's eye on her. She sat down, just pleased that so far she hadn't tripped.

"Slytherin!" The sorting hat shouted. Instead of the usual cheers from the slytherin table there was only silence. Then whispers started breaking out as she got up and walked slowly towards the slytherin table.

The feast did not go well for Madii, everyone was horrid to her. Food was spilt on her, she was called names, her hair and clothes were pulled and she was just made to feel worthless.

That night as she lay in bed she cried, why had she been placed in slytherin? Why couldn't she have been in Hufflepuff?
