I looked over at my brother and he mouthed "sorry your not in slytherin." Okay so My brother and I have never been the best of friends we have been friends but never close. I also never really voice my opinion to my family about harry or old voldy or slytherin either. I firgued now is better than never and mouthed back "i'm not I am actually pretty happy." Draco's mouth practically dropped to the floor but I turned my back to him to watch the rest of the sorting. When the sorting was finally over Hermione and I got to talking about classes.
When dinner was over a prefect Eric Clearwater showed us to ravenclaw tower. It was up two flights of stairs down a hall way up a hidden staircase and to the left. Then the prefect turned around and said "it will ask us a riddle and if you get it right it will let you in." Then he turned back to the door and it said "what is broken everytime it is spoken?" Hermione raised her hand almost imdetiely "Yes miss-" the prefect said. "Granger and the anwser is silence."
Then the door opened and we all walked in amazed at what we saw with all the brilliant Ravenclaw colors. "The girls dorms are up the stairs and to the left while the boys are downstairs and to the right." Hermione and I along with the other first year girls went to our dorm. Everyone quickly got ready for bed because everyone was excited to learn more being the Ravenclaws that they are. Hermione and I were some of the first up in Ravenclaw tower. We both made it to the great hall together after first meeting in the common room so as to not interupt others. When we made it to the Great hall the were few that were there but Neville was he looked neverous about his first day.
Hermione and I looked at each other and then made our way over to Neville. "Do you want to come eat with us?" I asked him he then looked up neverously. I could feel an adults eyes on the three of us. I wasn't sure who it was though as all of the teachers were already in the great hall. I looked up at the staff table when Hermione said to Neville "come over to ravenclaw table with us." When I looked up I saw two adults look away they were non other than Professor Albus Dumbledore and Professor Minerva McGonagall.
Neville then looked neverously around "we are not really supposed to sit at other tables." "Says who" I asked curiously then I sat down and motioned for Hermione to do the same thing. She did and then Neville said "no one said it but it is implied." "Well if they want us to make friends then how do they expect us to do that if we can not sit at other tables" Hermione repiled. Neville looked defeated and just dropped the subject all together. When we were in the middle of breakfast the morning post came in with hundereds of owls.
An owl came to draco and then another one to me. I opened it sighing this can not be good if my father found out that I was put into any other house than slytherin. I opened up slowly as I peered over at draco he was smiling as he read his letter. I felt a ball of something weighting down in my stomach it was not guilty nor was I neverous. No it is a different emotion all together dread. I finally unfolded the letter and it read
Hayley,
We your mother and I are very dissapointed that you did not get into slytherin. Also last night Draco owled us and told us you were happy not to be in slytherin and that you friends with long-bottom's son and a mudblood. I am very, very upset and am thinking I might as well just disown you now.
Mother and Father
I was beyond pissed now just the thought that my brother as soon as he got his little git self to his common room. That he, he wrote our mother and father he's such a little prat.
I was crumplling the letter in my hand and walked rather quickly over to Draco. When I was right behind me I tapped me on the shoulder hard. He turned around with the expression who should disturb the all mighty one while he eats. Then whe he saw it was me his expession changed to a delightful smirk. "Why did you do this" I said shaking the letter in his face. "I thought they ought to know that their daughter has become a mudblood long-bottom loving prat."
Tears began to welt in my eyes as his smile became wider "i'm your sister" I said at a lose for words. "Not anymore" he said that stupid little smirk still on his face. "Y-your a-a git idiot ass sucking prat" then I punched him with all my might in the nose. His nose began to bleed as shock struck across his face I had forgotton I was still in the great hall.
I forgot until Unc- I mean Professor Snape came over to me and said "follow me miss malfoy." I followed him without a word then I heard footsteps behind me and looked back. Professor Flitwick was following of course he is after all my head of house. I then reliazed that we were not going to Snape's classroom which I knew to be in the dungeons. I presumes we were going to flitwick's I also assumed that Snape was only here because he is Draco's head of house.
