Well, here it is, Chapter 1. If I screwed up with any spelling please don't say anything, because i dont think i messed up to badly.

Chapter One- Sorted to Slytherin

"Slytherin!" Cried the sorting hat, as Ashley sat beneath it. The students at the Slytherin table roared. She was being sorted a few yars late, already being in her 5th year; She was a transfer student from Canada. The hat was removed from her head and she walked towards the table.

Chewing on her lower lip she took a seat beside an attractive blonde boy, who appeared to be about her age. She glanced over her shoulders at the other house tables. Ravenclaw, Huffelpuff... and Grifindor. She had been told earlier that day a girl named Hermione, who was in Grifindor, that Slytherin was the house of the Dark Lord called Voldemort. And someone named Draco Malfoy whom she, Ronald and Harry grealy disliked.

"Hi." said the blonde boy to her, offering his hand for a shake.

"Hello," Ashley returned his greeting and accepted the handshake he'd offered.

"I'm Draco Malfoy." He introduced himself, rather proudly. Oh, Shit. He's Malfoy!? They couldn't warn me about what he looked like... God, why does the guy I shouldn't like have to be so... Ashley thought

"Ashley Dale, nice to meet you."

"Are you a pure-blood?"

"A what?"

"A pure-blood, both your mum's a witch,and your father's a wizard?"

"Oh, well, my mum is a witch, but I never met my dad. She says he was a traitor of a wizard, though, so I'm assuming I am."

"I'm a pure-blood. And my dad works for The Ministry of Magic."

"That's a form of government, right?" Ashley asked. Draco's nose wrinkled slightly.

"Of course it is! What else could it possibly be? That's what it's like where your from, isn't it?"

"Oh, no," Ashley said with a slight laugh, "Why, we have one Government that takes care of everything, though, each province has a provincial governemnt, so that breaks everything down."

"One government? For wizards and muggles?"

"What are muggles?" Ashley asked, vaugley paying attention, she was to busy making eye contact with Harry to pay full attention.

"People who aren't born in wizarding descent!" Draco was clearly starting to get annoyed with how little Ashley knew.

"Oh. Back home they're called "NMFs". Non-Magical Folks."

She talked with Draco until the feast was over. Then she allowed him to lead her to the Slytherin common room, where they said good-night and whent to thier separte dorms.
