As her family sat down for dinner, she prepared to break the news to her father. He held a strong grudge against Slytherin, and having his only daughter switch to his least favorite house would certainly set off his temper.

"I received a letter today from Hogwarts. I was one of the students selected to switch houses." I started carefully.

"That's wonderful Rosie. What house did you choose, Ravenclaw?" My dad said.

"No I chose Slytherin." I whispered.

"Slytherin… Why would you choose that house! They are a bunch of no good pureblood scum!" He started yelling.

"Ronald stop this. We are supposed to be supportive of our daughter and she has already agreed. So knock it off and eat your dinner." Mom snapped.

"But Hermione…" Dad started.

"No Ronald." Mom replied.

"Fine." He said. We began eating dinner. Afterwards I headed upstairs to begin packing for Hogwarts tomorrow. On my bed was a package with my new school uniform. I made sure all the clothes I packed were Slytherin like colors and absolutely no Gryffindor colors. As I lay in bed, I wondered how I was going to explain this to my friends tomorrow.
