Chapter 2
Professor Snape together with professor McGonagall were staring at me As I stepped forward to the sorting hat. My own nerves come up playing but I guess that's normal isn't it? After meeting tom and harry I was hoping to get into Gryffindor or Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw seemed cool too. Everything seemed okay accept Slytherin I guess. Maybe it was just because of Falco. By the time everything rushed through my head I was sitting on the chair and the professor was about to put the hat on my head. I held my breath as it seemed to be that he was was mumbling. At final he screamed out 'SLYTHERIN!' I closed my eyes in disappointment. But I got up with a smile on my face. I guess that there is only one thing that I can do and that is to make the best out of what I get. The Slytherin table was cheering. I looked at it and hoped not to see Falco again. Too bad the spot where I was suppose to sit was facing him. 'congratulations.' He said smiling. I nodded to thank him. 'I'm Eva.' The girl who was sitting next to me said. She had bright blue eyes and red hair, well at least the Slytherin girls aren't too bad actually they're pretty fine.
'I'm Dougie.' I replied with a smile. 'yeah I got that.' She said awkwardly but with a big smile. I wanted to hid myself over my head. Of course she knew my name was called very loudly just a few seconds ago. My thoughts turned as professor McGonagall called Carrie. I hoped with whole my heart that she didn't get in Slytherin but in Hufflepuff together with her brother. It was what she wanted so. Instead of Hufflepuff the hat called Ravenclaw. She seemed happy so I was happy for her. 'do you know her?' Falco asked when he saw my reaction. 'not really, she's just the sister of a guy I met in the train.' I replied. 'really? Who?' Eva replied. 'Tom' Falco's look changed. 'you know that prick?' he snapped. I frowned at his reaction, 'what's up with him?' I questioned. 'nothing.' His look avoided mine and went straight to Eva. As the conversation was slowly fading away I started to think about my mum. How hard it must be for her. I mean she had homeschooled me for 3 years now. But when I looked around I could see that I wasn't the only new, older student. I guess when the war was going on nobody wanted their kids to go, but who could blame them?
'Dougie!' veronica yelled as I was leaving the great hall to go the dungeons. I smiled and waited for her. 'hi.' I smiled. 'congrats on making it in to Slytherin.' She said trying to be nice. 'yeah well I guess I can make the best of it?' I laughed, she started to laugh along. As we were walking through the corridors. 'where are we going?' I questioned. 'well you wanted to say sorry to Francisca, didn't you?' I nodded. 'She's waiting for us in the hospital wing.' She took me by my arm and started running. I laughed loudly as I saw that a professor I hadn't seen before was glaring at us. 'there she is.' She said as she pulled me to the right and started to walk at a normal rage. I cached my breath and smiled at her. 'hi' I said awkwardly. 'why did you bring him?' Francisca said looking down on me. 'he just wanted to say sorry for falling out to you.' Veronica said to Francisca. She turned to me and smiled. 'okay then, but still why are you here?' tom appeared from behind the two girls. 'hi Dougie.' He said, 'you know him?' Francisca turned to tom. 'yeah he watched over Carrie, thank you for that by the way.' Tom made a sign that we should all come. 'oh yeah it's still here.' He said on a laughing tone. It was a small room, very moist but kind of cool, if you looked around there was a lot of old stuff. 'this is where we hang out most of the time.' Tom smiled, 'you're welcome to join our group if you want' I smiled. 'thanks, but who's the group.' Veronica came and stand next to me. 'just wait and see, kiddo.' All of us sat down around a dusty table and on old wooden chairs.
Slowly more and more people started to join in. First it was harry who was escorting Carrie together with some Ems who was in his class. Later on Danny joined together with his girlfriend called Mariana. And lastly someone who I didn't expect Eva. It was a fairly fun group. Even with my social skills I had a lot of stay with them, they tried to involve me in the group as much as possible. But I couldn't talk along at all. All of them well accept Carrie fought in the war, it was painful but also wonderful to hear them talk about it. About the people they'd lost about their wounds. Harry was the most proud carrier of them all. He said that the scar on his head was from a shot from Malfloy. Even though I wasn't there I still know that he was His right hand. Actually I don't know much more about it. My mum brought me to the muggles world when I was 3. No one knew I existed, including my dad. But then again I didn't mind for that.
