Chapter Four
Sorting
Rosalie bounced off the train pulling Jordan along with her. She couldn't wait to be sorted. She wasn't afraid at all. Okay well maybe she was a little nervous, but that was it, she was more excited than anything else.
Jordan looked very smug, she knew he was still bothered by Virgil. Jordan worried entirely too much. Virgil seemed very nice, Jordan was just being silly.
They took the boats to the castle. Rosalie, Jordan, and Virgil all shared a boat, but remained quiet the entire time. Rosalie was too busy looking at the castle to notice anything else. Lost in its beauty.
She just couldn't believe she was actually about to be in Hogwarts. It just didn't seem real to her. As they neared the school she could feel her stomach tighten in anticipation.
Professor McGonagall escorted all the first years to the great hall towards the sorting hat. Rosalie felt butterflies flutter about in her stomach beginning to feel more nervous. Rosalie watched each student as they climbed onto the stool.
A short girl by the name of Lea Brinkley was first. She had short blonde hair that stuck out every which way in a mass of poufy curls, it reminded Rosalie of her grandmother. The girl was sorted into Hufflepuff.
Rosalie watched each student, two more girls were made Hufflepuffs, then a boy and a girl were sorted into Ravenclaw. Just as he suspected Virgil was sorted into Slytherin. he didn't seem very pleased at the fact. There were more people but Rosalie began to tune everything out, knowing she was soon.
Jordan was called up and immediately put into Gryffindor. He smiled smugly as he approached the table filled with the cheering Gryffindors.
Then it was Rosalie's turn. She walked slowly to the stool and then hopped onto it. The hat was placed down and she could hear it speaking deep in thought. "Hmmm another Weasley eh? Well I see you're much like your mother, rather smart, perhaps Ravenclaw? No, that won't do, there's something else here, yes…courage. Well then guess you should follow tradition…GRYFFINDOR!" the hat bellowed for the entire hall to hear, as Rosalie slid down and practically ran at the table to meet with her fellow Gryffindors. She embraced Jordan as all her nerves left her leaving her very calm and relaxed.
After the sorting was done, Professor McGonagall gave the speech that's told ever year, warning students about the forest and such. Nothing new, nothing exciting. Rosalie listened though, to the entire thing, she was anxious to know it all. This school was going to be everything to her.
When the feast started she chanced a look towards the Slytherin's table to find Virgil's eyes had already been fixed on her. She blushed a little but smiled warmly at him. He returned the smile and began to eat.
Rosalie wanted to show him she wasn't going to let house rivalry stop her from being his friend. She only hoped that he would be the same way.
Virgil's POV
Virgil starred at her intently. He barely heard anything the Headmaster had said, nor did he really care either. He was scared, he was in Slytherin just like he had feared, theres no way their friendship will work now. He had even begged the hat to let him be in Gryffindor, but it refused placing him where he apparently belonged. Said it was his destiny, he didn't care about his bloody destiny. He cared about what she thought.
She eventually looked at him, he noticed her cheeks turn a bit pink, but she smiled at him. A real smile, it made him feel weak. Were 11 year olds capable of being in love? Cause that's almost what it felt like to him, but he knew that was silly. He just really liked that she seemed to care despite his family name.
She was kind to him, most people he knew cringed away from him, all because of a stupid last name. He hated his name. All of it, his first middle and last. Virgil Draco Malfoy, all of it was awful.
Even though he couldn't understand why she seemed to like him, he liked that she did. Maybe he did have a crush on her, maybe that's why he felt strange around her, but mainly he loved having a friend, or at least he loved the idea of it. It was still too soon to see what would happen with them.
All he could do was hope for the best.
When the feast was over he walked in the direction of the dungeons to his new "home". Before he was completely out of the great hall though, he felt someone tug on his sleeve. When he looked he saw her.
"Hey, um I just wanted to tell you it's okay that you're in Slytherin, I was telling the truth, it doesn't bother me." She then stood on her tip toes and placed another kiss on his cheek just like earlier. Virgil felt his body tingle.
Before he had time to react she was gone, running off after her cousin in the direction to the Gryffindor tower. He couldn't help but feel a bit jealous, but he was still happy. She still wanted to be his friend, and that was all that mattered to him at the moment. Yes, at that moment nothing could bring him down.
Nothing at all.
