-shot- I should be working on Separation...BUUUUT~ I've been working on this as well...XD ENJOY~!

I stood outside the large doors of what I supposed to be a large room. People around me were making a ruckus and I just stayed quiet. Friends were shoving friends. I stayed still, quiet, and expressionless. Someone was pushed practically onto me, "Sorry." He laughed and went back to shove his friend back.

I just nodded and didn't make a noise. I noticed a girl who looked really nervous, "You'll be fine." I told her quietly.

She simply nodded, signaling that she heard me. I looked ahead and saw the lady that escorted us earlier walk through the doors. "Follow me."

We walked through and everyone except me gasped. I looked up and saw that there were clouds on the ceiling. 'Hmm...Peculiar.'

I was bumped by someone again. It was the same person from earlier. "Sorry. Again."
Shaking my head, everyone gathered at the front of the room. There was a stool with a ratty looking hat on it. I concentrated on it and my head turned to the side a bit. "Welcome to Hogwarts. You will be sorted into the four Houses. Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Your House will be like your family." She explained. I couldn't hear the rest of her speech because the people around me were being way too loud.

"Will you all shut it?" I shouted without showing any definite emotion.

The room went silent and then the lady up front cleared her throat. "Let's start the sorting."

Bringing out a scroll, she began to read the names. "Evans, Lily."

The girl who was really nervous earlier hesitantly walked up and sat on the stool. The hat was set on her head, "Gryffindor!"

People exchanged glances. "Malfoy, Lucius."
A boy with light blonde hair walked up and sat down. There was a silence after the hat got placed on his head, "Slytherin!"
He smirked and sat at the table farthest on the right. I tossed him a glance. 'I have a bad feeling about that boy.'

"Potter, James." A messy-haired boy walked up with a cocky grin plastered on his face.

The hat seemed to think about his decision. "Hmm...You're a little bombastic aren't you, boy? You remind me of someone I knew a long time ago. Gryffindor!"

"Pettigrew, Peter." She called.

A mousy like boy went up and shakily sat down. "You're skittish, but loyal. Gryffindor!"

He grinned and ran to sit next to James. I blinked, but still never showed any emotion. There was some commotion when the next name was called, "Snape, Severus."

"Hm, Slytherin!"

I had another bad feeling when he walked past me. Something just...didn't feel right when those Slytherin boys walked past me. "Henderson, Cassandra."

A really shy looking girl walked up and sat down. "You have a great heart. You can easily make friends even though you rarely talk. Hufflepuff!"

She smiled a little and quickly walked to one of the middle tables. "Grant, Evangeline."

I looked back and walked forward. The hat was placed down. Nothing was said for about 5 minutes. 'I see you're having troubles trying to place me.'

"Smart, smart. You are loyal, productive, serious, and truthful. Exactly like him. Gryffindor!"

I stood up calmly and walked over to sit down away from some people. "Black, Sirius."

The boy who'd bumped into me twice went up. Right once the Sorting Hat was placed on his head, "Another Black?" Sirius cringed. "You're different from the other ones. Gryffindor!"

He smirked and walked down to sit next to James, who was by me. "Lupin, Remus."

A boy who appeared to be the "good guy" type went up. "You have courage. Gryffindor!"

He got off the stool and jogged down to the Gryffindor table. He sat by Peter and high-fived James, Sirius, and Peter. My chin was resting in the palm of my hand and I started to nod off.

After about an hour or so, everyone was sorted. I heard an older voice, "Thank you, Professor McGonagall. I hope that you all have a good year here at Hogwarts. And now, enjoy the feast."

Food appeared on the empty plates, but for some reason; I didn't exactly have much of an appetite. I didn't grab anything to eat. I noticed that Sirius and James were staring at me and I glanced over at them. Looking down at my still empty plate, I put my hands on my legs and sighed. "What are you two looking at?"

"Why aren't you eating?"

"Not hungry." I stated.

"You can't pass up something like this." James said.

I shrugged, "Actually, I can."

"Come, now. Don't be like that! I'm sure you're hungry, Evangeline." Sirius said, grinning.

I growled, "Don't call me that."

"Eh?"

"I said don't call me that." I snapped. They shrunk back and stared, wide-eyed, at me.

"Sorry."

I put my chin back on the palm of my hand and sighed. 'How long will this last?'

As I thought that, the older gentleman stood and clapped his hands. The food disappeared as fast as it came. "Now that you've all been fed, it's time to go off to bed."

The tables stood up and people led the newer people up a bunch of stairs. I looked up and noticed some staircases moving. 'How interesting.'

I followed the crowd to a portrait of a rather large looking lady. "Ianuariis." (A/N: Latin for 'New Year'.)

There was a commotion when the painting swung opened. I rolled my eyes, 'Honestly, am I the only one who isn't making such a fuss about this?'

"This is the Gryffindor common room. The girl's dorms are over there, and the boy's on that side."

I simply stared ahead, still completely expressionless. "Now, off to bed."

The girls and boys separated and went to the dorms. I found my trunk at the foot of one of the beds. I scowled at it and sat down on that bed. I changed into my pajamas and got underneath the heavy blanket. I lied there for about an hour. Everyone was snoring. 'I'm not tired...'

I silently got out of bed and made my way down the stairs to the common room. I heard some talking, but I just ignored that. I silently walked down and saw Remus, Peter, Sirius, and James talking by the fireplace. "So, Moony, have you come up with a chart telling you the moon phases?"

"Indeed, I have, Prongs."

I stood silently in the shadows as they spoke. "Something wrong, Padfoot?" Peter asked.

"Everything's fine, Wormtail. Why do you ask?" Sirius's voice sounded.

'What are these names they're using?' I thought.

Then, I gathered the courage to sneak to a windowsill and curl up. I picked one that was slightly difficult to see. "What was that sound?" Sirius asked.

"I didn't hear anything."

"Obviously." He stated, "I swear I heard something coming from over there."

He pointed towards the window I was at. I stared out the window and then heard footsteps coming towards me. "How long have you been there?"

I didn't look at him. In fact, I completely ignored him. There were more footsteps. "Why are you here?"

"I'm in Gryffindor." I stated with a bored tone.

"I know that." James scolded. "What I mean is; what are you doing here right now?"

Sighing, I swung my legs over the side of the windowsill, "Can't sleep."

"So, you wouldn't eat. And now you won't sleep?" Remus asked.

"First of all, I wasn't hungry." I snapped, standing up. "Secondly, I just can't sleep."

"Insomnia?"

"No. I've always had troubles sleeping." I stated, turning my back to them.

Four hands were placed on my shoulders. I shrugged them off and sighed. 'Why can't I have a break from them?'

I yawned loudly and bared my canine teeth. I rubbed one of my eyes, "Now, I'm tired."

There was then a whisper from James, "Nice work, Moony."

I glared at him, "You four should go to bed as well. We have classes early tomorrow."

I walked upstairs and curled back under my blanket. 'Well...at least I'm tired now.'

Well? How is it so far? (I'll post more when I get reviews...XD) R&R please!
