Chapter 2
She was sitting there, with the hat on her head, with everyone staring at her. She waited and waited for the hat to say something, but it was quiet. It opened its mouth a few times, as if it was going to say something, but didn't, as if something caught its mind each time. The whole hall waited silently for something to happen.
I knew it was going to take long for the hat to chose between Gryffindor and Slytherin, so I relaxed in the little stool, as much as I could relax in a stool so small.
"What house do you want to be in?" The sorting hat asked. I took some time to think about it, but finally answered:
"Ravenclaw," I said.
"You know what I mean." The sorting hat said to me. "Gryffindor or Slytherin?"
"I honestly don't care between those two," I tell the sorting hat. The sorting hat took a deep breath and finally whispered something to Professor McGonagall. She nodded to the sorting hat, with a calm look. The sorting hat took a deep breath and announced:
"Back when Hogwarts was created, the founders of the houses made a rule. If I couldn't choose a house for a student to be in, I could announce them a double house. I have never done that before, but I feel today is the day that I try something new. Miss Riddle here, will be in the Slytherin-Gryffindor house." Professor McGonagall handed the hat to Professor Snape and led me out of the hall. Right outside the hall door, she stopped me.
"Okay, let me run you through the basics. The sewing staff is now making a double colored tie for you. You will be able to either stay in the Gryffindor dorms, you will get a dorm there, or you can stay in the Slytherin dorms, you will get a dorm there as well. Some days you can stay in the Gryffindor dorms, and some days you can stay in the Slytherin dorms." She said, quickly. "Right now you can choose a house to sit with it now and spend this night there.
"Okay. Got it." I said, nodding. She led me back to the hall and I sat at the Slytherin Table. I didn't sit at the Gryffindor table because if my grandfather would ever come back, well, he would try and use me, so it's better for me to not get to know him. I take a seat next to Draco and look into my lap. I run the words the sorting hat said, over and over in my head. It had never done that before, I was the first one.
In the morning I see my new robes on a stool near my bed. I quickly get changed into them and head to the great hall for breakfast. I sat at the edge of the table and waited patiently for food to appear. Draco sits down beside me, talking to someone who sits down across the table. I look up and see two overweight boys around my age.
"I'm telling you, Crabbe!" Draco tells one of the boys. "I'm going to be top of our class in everything."
"Self-centered much?" I ask him. He turns his head around to look at me.
"It's true." He replies to my comment.
"Challenge accepted," I tell him. 'He doesn't know whats coming for him,' I think to myself. 'It is on.'
