Chapter 2:
The Great Hall echoed with laughter and happy greetings from every corner to the next as everyone rushed into to see their old friends they haven't seen since last year. Personally I wished to be somewhere else, like in my room down in the dungeons, the loud noise and just seeing the reuniting of friends kinda made me a bit sad. True I have Blaise and Pansy (I hope) but they all look so happy and free, joking and laughing and messing around, I wish I had that.
"Will everyone please take your seats and quiet down." Dumbledore requested as he stood before us at his podium. Everyone moved to fill his request and soon we were all sitting, looking up at him waiting for him to begin. "Welcome back after a long summers break. I trust everyone enjoyed themselves and now are ready to start a new year. And to start us off, let's start with the sorting of our new students." He said happily as he moved to sit down as the doors opened on the other side of the room and in came Professor McGonagall with the first years.
Soon the sorting got on its way and I let myself daze off again, I really didn't care who got sorted where. It's just adding pieces to the Houses and adding more to this ever on going war, everyone seemed to have a problem with another house. It's really tiring actually, the Gryffindors would attack or bully the Slytherin and we'd get them back plus bully everyone else. It's really just an on going, never stopping battle that the teachers have tried and tried to stop but failed at every turn.
A gently pinch to the side woke me out of my dazed state as I quickly turned a glare to the person; Blaise looked at me with even eyes and nodded toward the podium where Dumbledore stood once again. "Well it seems each House got a good amount of new students, help them and teach them how things are around here and now unfortunately time for some rules. As always the Forbidden Forest is off limits to everyone besides the teachers, if any student is caught in the Forbidden Forest for any reason that is not valid, they will be punished. The Forbidden Forest is a dangerous place, creatures lurk at every shadow and for your safety its best you stay out. Also no one is to be out after curfew, if you are caught you will serve a detention. Also as the older classes know, we've been having trouble between our Houses every year. Fighting, bullying, pranks and quite frankly the staff is tired of it so we came up with a couple new classes that you will take. They will be added on to your normal classes, it's only one or two but hopefully by the end of the year we will have made some friends in other Houses." He said with a twinkle in his eyes, I really hated that twinkle because it usually means he's up to no good and just looking around you could tell many of the other students knew this as well.
"And now let the feast begin!" he said as food appeared on the tables before us and everyone dug in happily. One of the best things about Hogwarts is the food, they always had something you liked or craved. Everyone raced to get the foods they wanted before other members of their house ate it all except our house, being purebloods we have amazing table manners because growing up you either learned them or faced whatever your parents did to you for disobeying. "So Dray, we got seven new members in our house and Gryffindors got nine and Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff got six, so not bad." She muttered as she passed me the turkey. "Pansy I don't get why you care? So what we're in the middle of how many students we got, we are always on top no matter what." Blaise said cockishly at her as he looked over me. Pansy rolled her eyes and sneered, "Maybe because I like to be aware of things unlike you and if were on top, why haven't we ever won the house cup hmmm?" She asked as she already knew the answer, we all did. Dumbledore favored the Gryffindors, plain and simple and he let them get away with things he'd never let us get away with. I mean everyone knew of the crap the Golden Trio does and no one's ever seen them punished for it.
"Pansy, my darling we may have not won that stupid cup but we always get things done. Right Dray?" he said as he nudged my side. Rolling my eyes, I looked at him annoyed, "Yes Blaise we always get things done but some of us would like to win the House cup once in their life you know." I growled lightly as he just waved me off. Rolling my eyes at him I turned back to my dinner as I let my eyes scan the faces of the members of Slytherin. Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle sat in front of me, sucking down their food at a fast yet neat pace. Millicent was next to them looking kinda of out of it, she obviously had something on her mind, 'I wonder what could be on her mind? 'I thought curiously as I finished my meal. I didn't eat very much; I haven't been able to hold much down since I found out the news.
Sighing once again I turned to Pansy as she too finished her meal and looked at me, "So Dray, what do you think of these new "friend" building classes were gonna be forced into?" She asked curiously, "I think there gonna cause us even more problems Pansy and I bet we'll be with Gryffindor." I muttered, not only will I have to put up with Weasley but I'll have to be a total bastard to him cause where ever he is, so is Weasley. I wish things were different between us but they aren't and soon it won't matter at all, nothing will. "You're probably right; ugh I'm so tired of the constant bickering. I'd like to go to one class, just one without them having to make a snide remark at me and once again be yelled at for "starting" it."She growled angrily, can't say I blame her, people can't seem to leave her alone about her looks, true when she was younger she kinda did look like a pig but know even though I didn't swing for her team, I think she's beautiful, she bloomed into a beautiful young woman but people can't leave the past in the past.
Before I could answer Dumbledore had made his way back to the podium again and waited till everyone was quiet before speaking; "Ok now I believe it's time for bed. You've all had a long day and tomorrow classes will start. So the Heads of your houses will lead you to your dorms, good night children and sweet dreams." He said as Professor McGonagall and Snape and the other house Heads began to usher us out of the Great Hall. 'Ya just what I need be crushed by tons of students.' I thought sarcastically as I fell in step behind Blaise with Pansy at my side and Crabbe and Goyle behind us as we entered the crowd of pushing students and headed down to the cold dungeons.
