A/N: the sorting hat can tell the future but chooses not to tell students or Dumbledore their futures unless it's absolutely necessary in this story; I just thought I'd mention it

The train ride ended quickly and Professor McGonagall was waiting for Kendra on the platform, when she found her she quickly took her up to Dumbledore's office. "Miss Potter, sit down here please" Dumbledore said kindly, motioning to a stool.

Kendra sat down on the rickety stool and an old hat got placed on her head "ah the very powerful Kendra Potter, I've been waiting for this for years. Now I don't normally tell people their future but I think I can make an exception for you. Kendra you must be careful in your second year here, he will come for you. If he fails and you make it to your fourth year you must not enter the tournament for you will be in terrible danger. Now on with the sorting. You have plenty of bravery, very intelligent, not very patient or fair so that rules out Hufflepuff. You'd make a good Ravenclaw but you seem to think differently, there's a block do you mind removing it for me? Ah that's better, defiantly not Ravenclaw. I have found another block could you move it? No ok then. So Gryffindor or Slytherin? You're very sly and sneaky you'd make a perfect Slytherin and you would be great. Yes I think so SLYTHERIN" the hat shouted the last word, Kendra was glad the hat didn't push her to remove the last block; there was no way she would tell anyone that secret.

Kendra took the hat off and looked at Dumbledore "sir the hat told me my future. I shouldn't be in Slytherin, I can't, Voldemort will get to me" Kendra said in concern.

"What did the hat say about your future?" Dumbledore asked curiously.

"It said that I must be careful in my second year here, he will come for me. If he fails and I make it to my fourth year I must not enter the tournament for I will be in terrible danger" Kendra replied wondering what tournament the hat meant.

"I suggest you listen to the hat and you be careful" Dumbledore said wisely.

"I can't be a Slytherin" Kendra whispered more to herself than anyone else.

"I'm afraid the hat has made its choice. If we have to I will have you re-sorted. Let us go to the feast the other first years will be waiting to get sorted" Dumbledore said.

The inside of Kendra's robes had turned green and her tie green and silver. She was a Slytherin. Dumbledore and Kendra left to go to the feast, Dumbledore sat at the teachers table after telling Kendra which table she had to go to. Kendra sat down at the end of the table earning some stares from the other Slytherin's and a few people from other houses. "Aren't you are first year?" a Slytherin boy asked her.

"Yeah, I had a private sorting" Kendra replied.

"Why?" he asked, clearly private sortings didn't happen very often.

"Because I did" Kendra snapped and the boy left her alone. The first years came through and immediately Kendra spotted her brother, he was looking nervous.

"Abbot, Hannah" McGonagall called. A pig face girl with blond pigtails went up to the hat, she sat on the stool and the hat was placed on her head.

"Hufflepuff" the hat shouted.

The Hufflepuff table cheered. "Bones, Susan" McGonagall called.

After a moment's pause "Hufflepuff" the hat shouted.

The Hufflepuff table cheered again. "Boot, Terry" McGonagall called.

"Ravenclaw" the hat shouted. This time the Ravenclaw table cheered. 'Brown, Lavender' became the first Gryffindor and the Gryffindor table started roaring with cheer. 'Bullstrode, Millicent' became a Slytherin and she sat next to Kendra, looking at her in suspicion. Harry looked at her in distaste then he saw Kendra and paled.

'Finch-Fletchley, Justin' became a Hufflepuff. Kendra noticed that sometimes the hat called out a house at once but others it took a while.

"Granger, Hermione" McGonagall called, Kendra noticed it was the bushy haired girl from the train looking for the toad. "Gryffindor" the hat shouted.

"Malfoy, Draco" McGonagall said. The hat barley touched Draco's head before it shouted Slytherin. He came to sit opposite Kendra.

"When did you get sorted?" he asked surprised.

"I had mine done privately" Kendra answered once again.

"Why?" he asked curiously.

"Because I did" she replied not wanting to go into it. Kendra realized several other people had been sorted whilst she had been talking to Draco.

"Potter, Harry" McGonagall called. Kendra's head picked up and she watched her brother get sorted by the hat, people were whispering things like 'THE Harry Potter?!' but she didn't care, she was only focused on Harry. Harry kept muttering something, gripping onto the stool. After about five minutes the hat shouted Gryffindor, Kendra sat back disappointed and didn't listen to the rest of the sorting.

Food appeared on plates and everyone began eating, a lull of chatter washed through the hall. "What did you say your name was?" Draco asked Kendra then biting into a piece of chicken.

"Emily" Kendra replied, not trusting him with her real name.

"Surname?" he asked, one eyebrow raised.

"Don't have one" Kendra stated and taking a bite out of her lamb.

"Everyone has a surname. Why won't you tell me?" Draco asked now more intrigued by her than before.

"Because you're an annoying little brat" Kendra said and went back to eating happily.

The boy next to Draco, Blaise Zabini laughed and Kendra smiled at him. Draco muttered something about stupid girls, Kendra just laughed inside her head, knowing she could kill him without a moment's thought.

Kendra turned her attention to the teachers table and noticed a teacher with a purple turban talking to a greasy haired teacher, as she looked at the turban her scar started burning. Kendra clutched it unconsciously and noticed Harry did the same thing on his table. When the pain ebbed away he looked over at Kendra, silently asking if she felt it. 'Talk later' Kendra mouthed and he nodded in agreement.

"Are you ok?" Blaise asked noticing her hand on her head.

"I'm fine, just got a headache" Kendra lied, moving her hand away from her scar whilst making sure she didn't reveal it. The teacher with the turban looked directly at Kendra, and it was safe to say she was creeped out. Then the greasy haired teacher looked at her, and she looked into his eyes; they showed love, anger and hate. Kendra turned back to her food.

As the puddings arrived onto the table Kendra noticed Draco was looking at her. "Why are you looking at me?" Kendra asked him, getting annoyed now.

"I'm trying to figure you out" he replied.

"Well can you stop its peedoish" Kendra said as she chose a chocolate truffle from the selection.

Blaise snorted into his food "I'm sorry but he's a Malfoy, highly respected and here you are ridiculing him. Are you Muggle-born?" Blaise asked.

"No I'm half blood. I know he's a Malfoy, but to me he's an arrogant pig who won't get out of my business" Kendra said wishing she could eat her pudding in peace.

Blaise laughed again "whoa dude you just got owned by a girl" Blaise said to Draco.

"Shut it Blaise" Draco snapped clearly angry about the way he was being treated this way.

Kendra smirked mockingly "naw did I hurt poor icle dracykins feelings" she cooed. She swore if looks could kill she would be dead all ready and in the most painful way possible, Draco glared at her venomously whilst Blaise burst into laughter.

"I like you Emily, no one's ever had the nerve to mock a Malfoy" Blaise said hi-fiving her.

"Wait until my father hears about this" Draco growled out.

"You think I care about a pathetic Death Eater?" Kendra asked whispering viscously to him having finally placed the blond hair and grey eyes.

"How did you know he's a-?" Draco asked not finishing the sentence in fear of being over heard.

"That's for me to know and you to never find out" Kendra smirked victoriously.

"Whatever, I'm still going to tell him" Draco muttered.

"You do that, but there must be quite a few Emily's in this school" Kendra stated.

"You just wait until I figure out your real name" Draco said full of hate.

"Emily is my real name you numskull" Kendra said just as hatefully. Blaise laughed again.

"Well it's clear you two don't like each other" Blaise said. Kendra just smiled.

The food cleared away and the prefect led the first years down to the dungeon area. They stopped at a wall and Kendra thought they might be lost until the prefect said "pureblood. The password never changes so make sure you don't tell anyone" the prefect said.

He led them into their green and silver common room. "Girls dorms are up the stairs and to your right boys the same on the left" the prefect said. Kendra went up the stairs and found the first year girl dormitory.

Her bed was right by the window and her trunk and chestnut where all ready by it. Kendra shared with Millicent Bullstrode, Pansy Parkinson and Sarah Perks. Millicent and Pansy started talking to one another and Sarah came over to me. "Hey I'm Sarah perks" she said putting out her hand.

"I'm Emily" Kendra said shaking her hand. Best to make friends as soon as possible in this house.

"How come you didn't get sorted with the rest of the first years?" she asked in curiosity.

"I just didn't" Kendra shrugged really hoping she wouldn't push it.

"Ah that's cool; at least you got saved from the embarrassment. So what blood status are you?" Sarah asked, at least she didn't pressure her.

"I'm half blood. You?" Kendra asked not really caring.

"I'm not really sure I'm either half or pure" she replied.

"I don't really care about blood statuses though, I mean as long as you like the person who cares" Kendra admitted.

"I completely agree" she agreed.

"I heard you talking to Draco earlier, that was hilarious" she laughed.

"Is everyone really scared to stand up to the Malfoy's?" Kendra asked not really believing it.

Kendra didn't really know much about the Malfoy family only that they were supporters of Voldemort. Kendra suddenly wondered what Harry was doing. Focus Kendra. "Yeah, it's mainly because of his father. No one dares try and talk back to a Malfoy" she explained.

"Ah cool, my name will go down in history" Kendra laughed.

"Either that or you'll be history" Sarah laughed as well.

"Na, I'm more than a match for all the Malfoy's put together" Kendra said confidently.

"Well I'm going to bed now" Sarah said climbing into the bed next to Kendra.

"Night Emily" she said.

"Night Sarah" Kendra replied getting into her own bed after changing.
