Before her were the tables of each of the four Hogwarts houses: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Over at the Hufflepuff table sat her older sister, Andromeda. In all honesty, being in the same house with her big sister wouldn't be so bad. Narcissa and Andromeda got along splendidly, and the prospect of spending time with her excited Narcissa. Even though their mother and father were highly disappointed with Andromeda's placement, Narcissa wasn't surprised. She was very kind hearted, something that Narcissa loved about her.
Her gaze shifted to the right side of the room. Her oldest sister, Bellatrix, was a proud Slytherin. In her fifth year at Hogwarts, she had already made quite the impression. Smart and graced with 'the Black good looks', it was no wonder that Bella was popular among the other Slytherin students. Bella had the tendency to push her around while they were at home, so she hoped whatever house she was placed in would be as far away from Bella as possible. Being pushed around in her own home was bad enough, but being pushed around at school too?
'Three sisters, one a Hufflepuff, one a Slytherin, and the youngest tied between the two,' the Sorting Hat perched on her small head cackled. 'Hufflepuff just won't do. Gryffindor is right out too. You have the mind for Ravenclaw, but I feel you would do better in Slytherin!'
Narcissa frowned as Professor McGonagall pulled the hat from her head. She gave Andromeda a small smile and moved toward her eldest sister at the Slytherin table. She spotted a seat among the cheering members of her house, as far away from her sister as possible.
Quietly, she took a seat next to a boy with white blond hair and icy blue eyes that were almost gray.
"Welcome to the best house," he said with a smirk and an air of arrogance.
Narcissa just nodded, determined to make the best of her school years.
