Chapter 1
Astoria stood by the train windows and watched as her parents waved and disapeared from view. Finally,after two years of listening to Daphne and her friends talk about Hogwarts, she is starting her first year. Excitement and anxiety rushed through her at the same time. She dragged her heavy trunk with a chocolate brown owl with honey colored eyes perched in a cage on top down the aisle of packed compartments trying to find her though she was born in a wizarding family she still didn't recognize any familiar faces on the Hogwarts Express. Alas, when she walked to the end compartments she saw a girl with a heart shaped face, soft blonde hair that flowed down her back, and big blue eyes that she recognized as Daphne. She stood up gracefully and slid open the compartment doors.
"Come in, I made sure they saved you a spot!", Daphne smiled warmly.
Daphne was the completey different from Astoria, despite the fact that they were sisters. Astoria had a thin face. She had big almond shaped fair brown eyes, a thin small nose, small lips, and framing her face were dark brown curls. Everything about her looked delicate. Whereas Daphne was bold and fierce, inside and out. In school most Ravenclaw and Slytherin guys can't keep their eyes off of her.

In the compartment on one side was Draco sitting by the window chatting with Pansy who sat next to him. Daphne sat next to her and was in deep conversation with Blaise. Theo sat next to him. That left one seat. She wondered where Crabbe and Goyle where. But decided not to care. She sat next to Theo who looked up from his book.
"Hey, nice seeing you again." winked Theo.
"You too,"grinned Astoria even though they were at a gathering the night before.
Astoria sat back and watched Daphne, Pansy, Blaise, and Draco talking and laughing. She had known Pansy ever since she could remember. Pansy is beautiful despite her pug like nose. She has a small pointed face with large dark doe like eyes, shoulder length black hair and full bangs that framed her face. Astoria always considered her a like a second sister. She turned her attention to Draco whose hair looked white due to the reflection of the burning sun. Watching as he smiled and how his grey eyes lit up. Smiling to herself she fell asleep against the window.
What seemed liked just seconds later she felt someone shaking her hard. She peered groggily through her eyelids and saw a pair of dark green eyes, a thin straight nose, and a warm smile greeting her. "What's going on?" she asked.
"You fell asleep. We're almost there, you'd better change into your school robes," smiled Theodore.
"That was quick!"
"Well you missed a few things."
"Oh, how so?"
"The dementors paid us a visit."
"What! But we don't have Black with us."
"Yeah, like they care. Heard from Draco that Potter actually fainted."he laughed.
"Really! Well where is Draco... and the rest of them."She had just realized it was only the pair of them in the compartment.
"Well the dementors came to our compartment so they decided to switch and you were sleeping. Draco said not to wake you. Daphne told me that you were my responsibility and left." He said.
"Oh well, how thoughtful of them."Astoria said sardonically and put on her robes.
Theo smiled and looked out the windows clearly lost in thought.
They sat in silence for the rest of the journey.

When they got off the train Draco came over.
"Let's go Nott. Better get a carriage to ourselves you know." He said clapping Theo on the shoulder.
He looked at Astoria. " Be sure not to fall in the lake, young Greengrass. If you do we might be able to see you from the common room."
Smirking, he and Theo walked towards the carriages. Theo looked at Astoria apologetically. "Don't let us down at the sorting."

Professor McGonagall is reading off a list of names.
"Greengrass,Astoria." She read.
Theodore watched as she shuffled her tiny feet forward and sat on the stool. The hat placed on her head obscured her vision of the Great Hall. He turned to look at Daphne who gave him a meaningful look. Astoria sat there for about 2 minutes. Then the hat screamed " SLYTHERIN!"He and the others switched relieved glances and watched as a blushing and beaming girl with dark bouncing curls dashed toward the Slytherin table climbing into the seat next to him.

"Ohhh Mum and Dad are going to be so proud Stori!," said a beaming Daphne

"Oh yeah? And don't call me that," said Astoria, blushing a light shade of pink.

"Well…we all thought you might've been a Ravenclaw."

"Oh, and what a tragedy that will be."

"Well STORI, don't tell me you would like to be in Ravenclaw..? " mocked Draco

Scarlet face and furious, Astoria turned back to the sorting aware that the 5 3rd years behind her were smirking.

"They honestly don't give enough credit to Ravenclaws, eh? I'll let you in on a little secret though, I was almost placed there myself." Theo whispered into her ear.

"Thanks, Theodore." Muttered Astoria.
