Snape was really silent on the way to the Great Hall. Kaylin began to wonder if he hated her or something.
"As soon as we enter the Great Hall," he suddenly said, "you can make your way to the Slytherin table. That will be on the far left side of the Hall."
"Um...Alright," was all she could think of to say.
The doors opened and inside the Hall was completely silent as about 1000 people stared at Kaylin. This was an enormous room with four very long tables reaching from one end to almost the other end. And each of them were packed with students.
"Okay, the table on the far left," Kaylin said to herself. She started walking towards the Slytherin table and slowly the sounds started coming back into the Hall.
Kaylin had no idea where she would sit, so she decided to walk down the length of the table until she found a good spot to sit. Out of nowhere, she hears her name being called from the front of the Hall.
"Kaylin, over here!"
She looks ahead to see Draco waving her over.
Well, at least someone I've met is in this House. She walked over to him and sat beside him.
"Awesome, you're in this House!" Draco said with a smile. He seems happy to see me. "You've met Crabbe and Goyle. This here is Blaise and this is Pansy." Pansy gave you an evil stare across the table.
"What's her problem?" Kaylin asks Draco.
"I dunno. Sometimes she's just angry for no reason. Just ignore her," he said. Pansy turned to stare at him with a shocked expression on her face.
The doors to the Great Hall opened and Professor McGonagall followed by a bunch of
students came through the doors.
"That's the first years," Draco explained. "This is the Sorting Ceremony."
So for the next 30 minutes or so Professor McGonagall called out the names of the students alphabetically and the Hat was placed on each person's head. It called out a name of a House and they each went to a table.
"God this is boring," Kaylin said.
"I agree," Draco said. "But it is tradition."
"Of course."
Following the Sorting ceremony Dumbledore stood up and made a speech about the new school year and how it's going to be some trouble now that Voldemort has risen again, but as long as this school is open everything will be okay.
"Yeah right," Draco commented. "The Dark Lord knows what he's doing and will kill you."
Kaylin heard him, even though he said it quietly, and stared at him for a moment. I don't even want to know...right now...
Dumbledore ended his speech with another welcome and a funny saying. Then he waved his wand and told everyone to have a good year and a good feast. Kaylin looked in front of her and saw plates and plates upon food suddenly just appear there. Everything tasted amazing. After Kaylin had her fill though, Draco said, "Alright let's go."
Draco, Kaylin and his possy stood up and followed Draco out the doors.
"Let's go to the dorms," Draco said. "I know the password already."
Kaylin spotted Harry talking to some of his friends a few feet away and waved to him. He saw her and waved back with a smile. She walked away from Draco's group and up to Harry. "Hey, Harry!"
"Hi! It's Kaylin, right?"
"Yup!"
"These are my friends, Ron and Hermione." They both said hi to her.
"Kaylin, what are you doing talking to Potter?" Draco said from behind her.
"Uhh..."
"She can talk to whoever she wants, Malfoy," Harry said.
"Yeah, she doesn't have to follow your orders," Hermione added.
"Shut up, Mudblood."
"Stop calling her that," Ron said.
"Shut up, Weasel. Come on Kaylin. And if I ever see you talking to her again, you'll be in the Hospital Wing faster than you can say Quidditch." He grabbed her arm and pulled her away.
"Okay if there is one rule it is this," Draco said. "Slytherins do not talk to Gryffindors, expecially Potter and his stupid friends. You got that?" He pulled her in front of him and stared her in the eyes.
"Yeah, whatever." Kaylin said, pulling her arm free of his grasp.
"Come on," he said. And they all followed him, obediently. Kaylin couldn't believe him. And he had called someone a Mudblood!
She followed him into the Dungeons where the Dormitories were and he stopped in front of a portrait. "Bloody murder." He said.
"YOU WISH!" the portrait said back before swinging open. The common room had a huge fireplace warming the place up. Couches, chairs, and tables were placed around the room to relax in. Almost every one was full, but Draco walked towards a spot and it just cleared up. Clearly they were afraid of him. But everyone stopped for at least a second to say hello to him, perhaps to get on his good side. He just grunted in reply.
No one at Draco's table talked for the rest of the evening, except for the occasional hello. At around ten thirty, Draco finally said that he was tired and was going to bed. "Pansy, you can show Kaylin to her spot, won't you?" He asked her.
Pansy really looked like she didn't want to. She gave up though and did what she was told. "FINE!"
She led Kaylin to the girl's dormitories and up the staircase to the room. "This is your bed," Pansy said. Sure enough Kaylin's things were already there, including her cat, Luna. Kalyin wet to Luna'a cage to take her out.
"You have a cat?" Pansy asked. Well, clearly I do. "Owls are so much more useful."
"I know that, I would just prefer to have a cat. The school has owls I can use, doesn't it?" I
asked her.
"Of course it does."
"Well then I'll just use those for my deliveries." Kaylin said. "I'm gonna get to bed now."
"Just one more thing."
Kayling sighed petting her cat. "What?"
"I just want to let you know that Draco is mine. You had better stay away from him."
Kaylin raised an eyebrow at her. "Whatever."
"I mean it!"
"I don't really care. Draco's hot, but you can go right ahead and have him. I couldn't care less."
"Really?" Pansy said in disbelief.
"Yeah, go right ahead."
"Oh, well...good night then."
"Yeah, good night."
Okay, this is what today has been like. I wonder how the first day of classes is going to go...
