Chapter 4
" Wonder what's
the food is like here?" questioned Laura, " I'm hungry."
" Laura you are
always hungry this is no exception. You ate so much in the train. And spent half of my allowance for this
term." Moaned Draco. "I'm surprise that you are not overweight!"
" Why should I
be?" retorted back Laura." At the rate you make me play quidditch with you?"
" Ha!" Ron and
Harry burst out into laughter.
" How do they
sort students out here?" Laura asked.
" By houses.
Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin." Answered Hermione promptly.
" Wonder what
house I will be in," said Laura frowning thinking over.
" If you are like
your brother, Slytherin, the house for –" said Harry with a sly grin, before he
could say finish he was interrupted by Draco.
" Winners."
Finished Draco giving Harry a glare that could kill.
" Says who?"
countered Ron backed quickly.
" Gryffindors are
for the courageous," Replied Hermione with a smile, " unlike Slytherins which
are for the punchers." As she duck a punch that Draco threw her way.
" First years and
transfer students please come here!" yelled Professor Mc Gonagall.
" Opps got to go.
See you all later. " Said Laura running off.
After all the
first years have been sorted, then came the transfers.
" Laura, erm."
said Professor Mc Gonagall trying to decide which surname to use.
Laura grinned
inwardly at herself, laughing silently at Professor Mc Gonagall trying to
decide which surname to use. She quickly walked up to the sorting hat and put
it on.
' Hmm' said the hat, ' this is going to be hard to decide. You are a perfect
mix of Slytherin and Gryffindor. This is going to be hard to decide.'
' Well is this all you are gonna tell me?' thought Laura, half decided to take
of the hat and stomp off to sitting there waiting for the hat to decide.
' Well… Ermm.'
This went on for
quite a while and Laura got so bored that she actually fell asleep for a few
minutes under the hat. When she woke up, the hat was still deciding. Laura
decided to take things in her own hands. She actually got up to Professor Mc
Gonagall and told her that the hat could not decided which house to put her in.
When the whole
school saw her get up, they were shock. Draco was about to fall off his chair;
Ron and Harry were starring with mouths open. Hermione was looking surprised.
" Professor Mc
Gonagall, this hat can't decide what house to put me in.," said Laura,
silently.
The whole hall
became silent at once. Professor Dumbledore was staring at Laura. Draco really
fell of his chair. Harry and Ron just stared dumbly at each other, the whole
hall looking exactly like them, too dumbstruck to do anything. Except for
Hermione, she was looking through a book about Weird Events That Happen at
Hogwarts.
" This can't be,"
said Professor Mc Gonagall clearly shocked by what she heard, "Try the hat on
again," She said after putting a spell on the hat that enabled the whole hall
to hear the hat's thoughts.
" Well, I thought
you won't come back again to try me on again, Laura Malfoy." Said the hat.
The whole hall
buzzed with whispers. No one would have thought that tomboy like Laura would be
Draco Malfoy's sister, not with her dark hair.
"How did you know
I was Laura Malfoy? Not Laura Wang?" questioned Laura.
" I can always
tell the person who puts me on, real identity. This is why I cannot decide to
put you in Gryffindor of Slytherin. Your family background should straight away
put you in Slytherin. But your attitude, behaviour puts you in Gryffindor.
That's why I say you are a perfect mix of everything. Like, we all know that
you are a girl but behave exactly like a boy, from behaviour to appearance."
" Could you for
once keep quiet about certain things." Moaned a very embarrassed Laura, who was
red in the face. " Everyone can here you and me. I don't suppose you know
that?"
" Oh. I forgot."
Answered the hat, not a bit ruffled at all.
" Fine so can you
decide?" retorted back a very impatient Laura, " Before I take you off."
True to her word,
Laura took the hat off. She walked over to Professor Mc Gongall who was staring
at the hat wondering whether it was charmed.
" Professor. The
hat." Said Laura with a drawl exactly like Draco's.
" We will decide
later." Said Professor Mc Gonagall clearly shocked, taking the hat, while
directing her to Slytherin's table, motioning her to sit next to Draco.
