Draco's POV
"Ever since the war the Malfoy name has been drug through the dirt and it is up to you, my son, to bring it back up to the top, as you already know your father has been sentenced to life in Azkaban while I only have a year and I am happy to say that you will get off ok as long as you don't get an any trouble, befriend the "muggle-borns", and pass all of your classes. We are counting on you."
Your mother,
Narcissa Malfoy
I reread the letter again because my mother and the Malfoy name were the only things that helped me keep my head up through all of the stares and whispers of the students.
"Draaaaccco!" called Pansy "we really need to go down to the great hall for our testing."
"I'm coming Pans!" I called back as I hid the letter under my bed.
I sped up after seeing the list on the wall:
All 8th years please report to the great hall at 2:00 sharp
Millicent Bulstrode
Tracey Davis
Gregory Goyle
Daphne Greengrass
Draco Malfoy
Theodore Nott
Pansy Parkinson
Blaise Zabini
Me and the rest of the returning Slytherins made our way to the great hall and saw Professor Snape already waiting for us.
"Now we will see if you really deserve to be in the house of only the most cunning and smart students to ever pass through Hogwarts," drawled Snape before directing Millicent and Tracey to the Headmistress who soon took them away.
After twenty minutes of waiting the Headmistress returned for the third time to take me and Theo for our test.
Once I entered the right corridor I found a note telling me to brew a helpful potion before completing the test.
After sprinting past many of the awful testing rooms I was thanking my mother profusely for the wonderful and torturous idea to teach her son Latin and I pulled the portrait open and stepped into a room with Professor Snape who was obviously going to invade my mind.
I had to hold back my occlumency and let all of my memories flash before me even the regret after every harsh word to leave my mouth and the contempt of the dark lord slipped out. The Professor watched me grow up and manipulate people; he saw how proud I was of my grades and just how much I wanted to be first in the school.
After seeing all the parts of my mind, most of which he already knew, he sent me on and I entered the dueling room.
Professor Flitwick was waiting for me and halfway through our very intense duel Theo walked in looking much more tired than I was. Whilst I shot spells and blocked curses I thought that Flitwick must be saved for the better of the two wizards at dueling and although Theo was very witty, I am a better dueler. I finally beat Flitwick as he glanced over to see how Sinistra was doing.
Heading out to the field I watched as Madam Hooch called my past house mates to the ground. I had apparently finished my test almost as fast as Hermione Granger.
I already knew how easy this test would be for me and sniggered as I thought of how Granger and Neville must have done on their brooms.
After being a passable beater, keeper, and chaser we finally got around to my favorite position. Every always thought that I was only seeker because my father bought me on, I wanted to try and be better than Harry, and there was an open slot
Quite pleased with myself I sauntered out into the dungeons to unpack for I already knew that I would stay the Slytherin prince and rule the school for my final year of Hogwarts.
Upon entering my room I noticed a letter fluttering on my bed and sighed; what could McGonagall possibly want from me now?

Pansy's POV
Sometimes I hate my parents for have a last name at the END of the alphabet I was one of the last for sorting and now I got to watch my past and maybe future housemates walk by me into the unknown. I am Slytherin through and through but to have a test still intimidates me. Finally they called Blaise and I back though the winding hallways until the headmistress gave us the go ahead into the rooms.
Potions. My worst class. But as a Slytherin I know how to manipulate people and lying about having a dangerous potion can often get you your way.
I think Professor Snape enjoys looking through our minds too much and Professor Sinistra is too weak of a duelist to be determining a student's strengths, but I definitely did very well in all of my tests. I will never forget the scared look on that giant's face as I threatened to kill him with on drop of my "burning flesh" potion. Ha! A nice bath is what I need and I snuck over to the Room of Requirements which if I must say so myself makes for a much nicer bath than one in which you have to hide from perverted ghosts.

Blaise's POV
I had almost completely convinced my nervous mind that I would be a 'shudder' Hufflepuff when McGonagall finally showed up and Pansy and walked to our separate hall ways. After being sent into my hall I started brewing a wound healing potion because while I couldn't think of anything specifically helpful to brew you could never go wrong with something healing.
After completing the "interview" and the course I went over to the dueling and after a couple minutes of planned attacks I had Flitwick cornered up against pansy which set him off guard therefore very easy to disarm.
Quidditch will be my favorite part of the test as I have been a chaser for five year and this will be my sixth. Madam Hooch had to go through all of the other positions, even seeker, which I was rubbish at when finally she let be prepare as chaser. Once it was all done with she creepily smiled (smiles don't work well with her tough exterior) and exclaimed "Mr. Zabini you are by far one of the most excellent chaser I have seen in my whole time as a teacher." I smiled cheekily and responded "I'm also the most attractive" she sighed and told me" go on and get to bed Zabini."
As I was falling asleep all I could think about was my brilliancy in the course. I bet they had never seen anything so brilliant
FLASHBACK
I sliced open the ogre's thigh and blood poured through the slash in his leg as he crashed to the floor a brilliant plan came to me. "Oi ogre" I shouted, receiving a grunt in response "using all of my confidence I walked over to his face and said "I can save you with my wound healing potion but you have to walk me to the end of the course safely taking out all of my challenges." This was obviously a dumb ogre and he seemed to forget that I was the one who caused him this pain" as his eyes welled up with tears the ogre grunted a yes and I poured the potion over his tree sized thigh and watched it close up and scar. Satisfied he stood and led me through to the end battling a three heading dog and a griffin.
END FLASHBACK
I am just too smart and good looking was my last thought before drifting to sleep.

I know you guys wanted more of the test but this is harder for me to write because there is no human interaction and I can't express the characters personalities. I will try to get the next chapter out soon it will be the chapter with everyone's new house in it. This is the last chance you have to recommend where you think a student should be placed and I will consider it even though I already have the lists made.
Like it? Love it? Review it?
Love you more than chocolate ice cream,
