The sorting of things
I awoke in the infirmary about a half an hour later. Yawning I rubbed my eyes to find that I was in a bed, and not a comfortable one either, I looked around the room, it was enclosed with what looked like an off beige curtain for a wall divider, and black chair beside the bed. It was defiantly not a dorm room because the décor sucked ass, literally.
"Where am i?" I said caressing my temples, my head was pounding, it felt like millions of people singing off tune with a horrendous musical. "Hello, where the hell am I?" I asked as I raised my voice. I was fuming mad; first of all I couldn't remember what house I was sorted into; when I clearly remember getting up after the blasted hat shouted something out.
"Well, look who's decided to join us" said a husky voice from behind the curtain wall. Draco walked in with his famous smirk chiselled on his face, "you really should warn me when your going to faint like that, I almost didn't catch you" he said smugly.
"Oh Draco, you'd never let me fall. Like I asked earlier where the hell am I. Because I'm certainly not in my dorm because if it is my dorm it certainly sucks ass."
"Who says I'd never let you fall? And if you still haven't figured it out that you're in the infirmary then you've lost your cunning edge. And are you sure that's all it sucks?" he asked with ease.
"Well I had a feeling, and now I'm sure that's all it sucks." I said smugly
"Ah, to bad"
"Maybe not," I raised my left eyebrow giving him that sexually suggestive look that would make you melt. "So you going to tell me what house I'm in? Or am I going to have to call the nurse in here?"
"Neither" he said with a blank look on his face.
"Wonderful, wait then why do I remember that stupid hat screaming some name.. Gryffilin. omg, I remember now, oh my god, how could the *sorting* hat not make up his mind? I mean has that ever happened before?"
"A little slow today aren't we," he cocked his head to side with a sly look on his face.
"And it's never happened before while I've been here, and I'm pretty sure that it's never happened before" he said seriously this time. "the feast." he looked down at the sliver watch I had given him for his 16 birthday, "won't be over for at least an hour and a half, madam Pomfrey will be back any time now so.."
At that moment a strict fat, rather pleasantly plump woman walked in the "room" "Speak of the devil" Draco exclaimed
"Tsk. so your up now, it's been explained to me that the cause of your fainting was being subjected to humiliation and shock, so professor Dumbledore will be arriving later to with the sorting hat and you will be sorted. And Mr. Malfoy has kindly offered to stay here and eat with you, while we wait for Dumbledore. Do you remember anything before waking up?" she asked.
"Well it's nice to meet you too, I'm Jennifer," I said dripping with sarcasm "Yeah I understand, and yeah I do remember the whole Gryffilin thing don't worry"
"Well then. I'll be back in a while so don't make a mess of this place; your wand is on the night table if you need it." She said and then swiftly turned around and walked out of the room.
"What's got her knickers in a twist?" I asked
"Never know any more do you?" he answered
A house elf arrived about 7 minutes later with a tray full of fluffy whipped potatoes, chicken breast, bread, soup, and tea.
"Hello, Miss Destineè I hope your meal has been some what enjoyable considering the circumstances. I've brought the sorting hat so you'll be sorted" came a soft voice from behind me.
"And you are?" I asked still engaged in conversation with Draco
"I'm professor Dumbledore, the headmaster, why I thought we'd met already, guess I was mistaken. Nevertheless you need to be sorted"
There was a twinkle in his eyes that made me tone down the sarcasm, plus the fact that I really had nothing against him except leaving a huge decision up to an old dirty hat.
"your not going to put THAT on my head again are you?, because if it couldn't make up it's mind the first time what makes you think it will the second time?" I said trying desperately to say it without any sarcasm, I had failed horribly.
"Well I was hoping we could get this done tonight so you'd be able to start classes tomorrow." Dumbledore replied with a quizzical look on his face.
"If you insist, um we haven't been introduced, Jennifer Destineè ," I offered my hand to a professor wearing a jet black robe, he had cold black eyes that seemed like never ending tunnels, and greasy black hair, With surprisingly pale skin. He looked about 38 years old.
"Yes well, I'm professor Snape, head of Slytherin house, I teach potions." He said as he briefly shook my hand.
"I'm professor McGonagall, head of Gryffindor house, I teach transfiguration" said an old woman as she shook my hand.
"Well now that everyone here has been introduced lets get the sorting over with." Said Dumbledore, as he placed the dirty ripped hat on my head once again.
*** Ah you again, terribly sorry about earlier, as I said difficult choice, but I believe that you'd do better in*** said the hat in her head "GRYFFINDOR!" shouted the hat.
I weakly smiled it couldn't be all bad, at least I'd still get to see Draco, well that is if he wanted to see me. Many thoughts rushed into my head.
"That's it? no test? Just a hat deciding your fate? That seems a little childish," I said with sarcasm.
"Maybe, but it works," Dumbledore as he turned to professor McGonagall, "would you show Jennifer to her living quarters as well as the regular Gryffindor common room since she has been made a perfect."
"Why certainly professor" she answered
"And Severus, could you escort Draco here to his living quarters, since he has been made a perfect as well" he said directed to Draco
I looked over at Draco, he obviously admired Severus. I watched as he followed Snape out of the infirmary, god Draco had a sexy walk. I snapped back into reality as i heard "well miss Destineè shall we be going, now that you've finished staring into space?" she said slightly annoyed.
"Sure, it's not like I have anything else to do," I said sarcastically
I followed the ancient teacher around corridors going every which way. Up staircases that I was warned like to change, and in front of a portrait of a fat lady.
"This," McGonagall said gesturing to the picture, "is the guardian of the common room and the bedrooms of all students that are not head girl, boy or any perfects. Of course any Gryffindor may come in. The picture is called "the fat lady" and in order to get in you need the password, the password right now is stinky feet, if you wish to change the password let me know and then I'll have it changed."
At the mention of stinky feet the portrait swung to the side to reveal a huge room decorated in red and gold.
"At least it's not yellow and black" I mumbled.
"Hello professor, so Jennifer was sorted into Gryffindor? Ok, I'll show her to her room ok," said Hermione
"That's very kind of you miss granger, thank you" and with that she turned on her heel and left the room.
"That must have been embarrassing, I mean Dumbledore said at the end of the feast that it was a staged joke, but he looked just as surprised as everyone else did when you fainted." She said
"Um, it wasn't embarrassing because I was sorta out of it, and I'll tell you this it wasn't staged." I said
"Hey you're a Gryffindor! That's great, Hey Everybody Jennifer's a Gryffindor" said the annoying red headed boy named Ron.
A girl named Lavender came up to me and said "hi, my name's Lavender, and well since your new here so we want to dare you to go up to Ron over there and ask him out, if he says yes you have to go out with him for at least a week and you have to kiss him on the mouth no matter what."
Not being a shy person or one to ever pass up an easy dare I answered simply with "no problem, the red head right?"
She giggled and nodded, and pulled me away from Hermione, I walked up to Ron slowly with a seductive smile on my face, I looked in his eyes, they were considerably beautiful, and the wonderful blueness of them was fantastic. "Hi Ron," I said seductively,
"Hi" he squeaked obviously being nervous. I leaned closer to his face,
"You wouldn't have a girl friend now would you?" I asked as I fixed my hair even though it was obvious that it didn't need to be fixed.
"No, why?" he said more calmly,
"Well I was wondering weather or not you'd like to sit beside me tomorrow at breakfast?"
"Really? Wow, I'd love to!" he said excitedly.
I leaned a little closer and softly kissed him on the lips, his lips were surprisingly soft; I could tell he was surprised but kissed me back. I broke the kiss and smiled sweetly, and then turned to Lavender, I saw Hermione walking up to us so I started talking to Lavender.
"So tell me about professor Snape, I know he teaches potions but do you have any dirt on him? And who teaches The Dark Arts Course?"
"No one really knows anything about him, other then the fact that he obviously doesn't wash his hair enough, and dark arts? Girl we don't even learn dark arts the closest we got is defence against the dark arts" she explained
Of course I was disappointed, I mean who wouldn't be disappointed when they find out that their favourite subject, not to mention there best isn't even taught at the school you're going to.
"Come on Jennifer I need to show you your room, cause I'm going to bed" Hermione said.
So I followed her to the opposite side of the room where a picture of a lion was,
"Password's kings foil, don't know why but it is." As soon as Hermione said kings foil the picture swung to the side and revealed yet another common room, smaller then the one we had just left but beautiful nonetheless, the room was furnished with redwood and brick and the room was decorated with all the houses colors, it was warm and homey, yet soft and sophisticated. Hermione walked though the portal as did I, and we walked up a flight of stairs she went to the left at the second floor, and said,
"You're the next floor up, on the left I think" and with that she disappeared into her room, I shrugged it off and walked up the remaining flight of stairs and turned left. Just as I did so, the door swung open and hit me square in to head.
"Ow." I said as I tumbled back tripping on my heals and falling on my ass "Oh, hello Jennifer, wait, what are you doing?" Draco said obviously unaware that I was in pain "A little helps please" He bent over and pulled me up, "your rooms on the right, not the left. Anyway, I to get a book from the book case in the common room down there so good night" he leaned over and kissed me lightly "Night" I said as I walked into my room, I pulled off my robes and put on my black silk pyjama pants and top. I slipped under the covers and drifted off to sleep.
