Note: This is my first story so just work with me. It will get better in
the next chapters. The first chapter will be kind of slow because it is
jus introducing the characters and the situation. . PLEASE RR!! Thanks
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters(although I wish I did)
except Liz.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
This story focuses around a girl named Liz. She recently started at
Hogwarts in her 6th year. She is new to the school having just transferred
from Durmstrang. For some reason, she was not sorted upon arrival(she
arrived a month into the year). Dumbledore decided to put her in Slytherin
for the time being, until she could be sorted because the dormitories had
an extra bed for her. While in Slytherin, she forms bonds with many fellow
Slytherins and sees a side of them that nobody in any of the other houses
has seen. She becomes particularly close to, who else but Draco Malfoy.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Draco, come on we have to go to breakfast." Liz shouted up the stairs to the boys dormitories.
"I'm coming. Hold on for a minute." Was his reply.
Liz was getting impatient. Today was the day she was to be sorted. After being in Slytherin for over 3 weeks, she could not imagine being sorted into any other house.
"I'll be in Slytherin, right?" she asked Draco as he slowly meandered down the stairs.
"Of course you will, don't worry about it." He replied
"Will you still love me if I'm in another house?"she asked with open worry etched into her eyes. Draco hesitated and hoped his girlfriend of 3 weeks did not notice.
"O-of course I will." He mumbled.
Why did he hesitate? Liz wondered.
An unfriendly voice sounded behind Liz, "Oh look who's here. Great. You know, I think you'll be sorted into Hufflepuff. Then you can try to steal someone else's boyfriend. Come on Draco" Pansy Parkinson had not been able to accept that Draco wanted to be with Liz more than her.
"Go on Pansy, how many times do I have to break up with you before you get it?"
"Urgh! You know that we will end up together Draco Malfoy. You are just to thick headed to realize it. Don't think this hussy will continue to satisfy you!"
Unlike Draco, Pansy had gotten uglier since the year before. Her hair had gotten stringy and she got a bad case of acne. She would tell anybody who would listen that she had broken up with Draco because of a boy she met from Beauxbatons, but most knew she was lying. Draco had grown up and filled out. His muscles were more defined, and his hair was left a little more natural. His skin had gotten a little bit of color and he started smiling real smiles more often than sneers, at least when Liz was around. Liz had dirty blonde hair and bright eyes the color of the sky on a beautiful day. She was about 4 inches shorter than Draco and the way they were together made everybody jealous.
"Liz, are you ready to go?"
"What?" Liz was rattled out of her daydream by Draco's deep yet soft voice. "Oh yes, sorry, lets go."
Noticing the worry on his girlfriends face, Draco took her hand in his and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry about it. It will be okay. Here, I already got you a Slytherin Serpent patch to put on your robes. Go on, take it."
She lifted the patch out of his hand and silently slid it into her pocket. She would be grateful when it was sewed on. She had only had a patch of the Hogwarts seal on her robes since arriving and would like to have a Slytherin patch on them. They made the rest of the trip to the Great Hall in silence.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
When they arrived in the Great Hall, Dumbledore looked down and smiled at her, a slight twinkle in his eyes. "Ah, Miss Grant, you are here at last. Come. Come. This is an important day for you." He said gently.
With a last frightened look at Draco she slid her hand out of his and proceeded to the Staff Table. A wooden three-legged stool had been placed in front of the Headmaster and he motioned for her to have a seat. Professor McGonnagal came from a door behind the table with a battered hat and instructed her to sit still until the hat gave out her house. By this time, most of the school was in the Great Hall and watching. They all wondered why a sweet girl like Liz was so caught up with Malfoy.
As she was thinking, Liz felt the hat being placed on her head and held her breath. "Ah yes, you are a difficult one aren't you. Yes. Yes. Well it is quite obvious where you want to be but is that where you belong? Hum, I am not sure. I have not yet put anybody in the wrong house and I shan't start with you. Hum, you have courage and you have great determination, yet you would get along well in any of the houses. Yes, well it must be, but oh you wont be happy, I will put you in.............."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sorry but I thought that was a good place to end the first chapter. I will put the next chapter up once I get some reviews. Tell me what house you think she will be in in your reviews! Also, any ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated. I have most of chapter 2 written but I don't want to post it until I get some feedback!
