Chapter 11: New Housemates?
Mia walked slowly, but determinedly over to a table. They looked at her with curious, but kind faces, and she guesses.
"Hufflepuffs?" she asked a small girl.
The little girl beamed at her and introduced herself as Lillian, and in turn Mia told the entire table her name. After a few minutes of cheerful conversation, she moved on to the Ravenclaws.
After ten minutes of intellectual scrutiny, they smiled acceptingly at her.
She walked across the hall to a group of regal students. Backs straight, noses elegantly pointed up, they practically screamed Slytherin.
A tall, brown- haired boy rose to greet her formally with the older kids.
"I am Blaise Zabini," he spoke silkily, and Mia shuddered inside, his voice reminded her of someone. He held out a perfectly manicured hand for her to shake and she did so timidly, letting go as soon as it was polite enough.
"Nice to meet you," she said kindly to the rest of the table.
Zabini stepped closer to her and the shorter girl tensed inside. "What is your name?"
Mia looked up as she felt someone watching her. 'Severus,' she thought thankfully, and threw a small smile at the dour professor, before turning back to the young brunette.
She smiled uncertainly at him, "Mia," she said softly, eying him as he gestured to the group of people.
One by one, the older Slytherins introduced themselves.
"Pansy Parkinson. " a dark-haired girl said confidently.
Two other large boys called themselves Crabbe and Goyle, then a rather thin boy, Nott.
The final male, a handsome blond, stepped forward.
"Hello Mia, I'm Draco Malfoy," he flashed her a bright, white smile, kissing her extended hand unexpectedly.
She nodded, turning to leave, but Blaise stopped her with a weird question.
"Are you a pureblood?"
Mia stared at him curiously for a moment, before leaving, saying, "You could probably answer that better than I could."
The house table watched her leave carefully and looked at each other, silently saying that they would discuss her later in the Slytherin common room.
