AN: I have decided that I will start each new chapter with the last
paragraph of the last chapter just so that you will remember what was going
on! Thanks for the VERY FEW reviews they were greatly appreciated. I'm
sorry it took so long I have been really busy lately. Hopefully the next
one will be up in a couple of days. Well here is the next chapter please
RR! Thanks
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters expect for Liz
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.............. GRYFFINDOR.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The hat shouted the last word. Liz let her breath out in a soft sob. Then slowly got up from the stool and went to sit with the other Gryffindors, trying her best not to cry. Everybody at the table looked at her most with looks of astonishment on their faces. A few gave her small smiles but they quickly looked away. The entire hall was silent and looking at Liz to Draco and back trying to read their reactions. Nobody spoke until Dumbledore stood with a thick goblet in his hand; his bright eyes twinkling behind his half moon spectacles. "Congratulations, Miss Grant," he said and the whole hall shifted their attention to him. "I am sure you will enjoy Gryffindor and its occupants. Furthermore," he said his eyes hardening and he looked at all of the Gryffindor students, "I know that all of Miss Grants' new classmates will treat her with nothing but respect. I ask that you not ask her questions about Slytherin that you should not know and Miss Grant, I ask you to not give out information on Slytherin that should not be known. Now, congratulations again Miss Grant, and everybody, eat up, your first class of the day starts in just 25 minutes."
Liz ate a bit of toast in silence until she felt eyes on her. She looked up and saw a freckle-faced, red haired boy looking at her. "Hi Liz, welcome to Gryffindor. I'm Ronald Weasley."
"Hi Ron. I've.heard of you."
"I imagine you have. No doubt that git, Malfoy, has told you lots," he said rudely.
"Ron, don't talk about him. You know she feels differently about him than we do," a girl Liz recognized as Hermione Granger said. " Don't mind him. He just fails to think before he speaks sometimes. I'm Hermione Granger and this is Harry Potter," she said gesturing to the young man next to her who smiled at her.
"Its nice to meet you. All three of you," Liz said weakly just as she noticed Professor McGonagall coming up behind her.
"Miss Grant, welcome to Gryffindor. I am glad to see that you are making friends. Now, as you may or may not know, I am head of Gryffindor house. Here is your revised schedule so that you now have all of your classes with the Gryffindors. Good luck and we are very pleased to have you with us. Oh and Miss Granger, I ask that you show her to your dormitory and help her get acquainted," she said and handed Liz a piece of parchment.
Liz looked over the schedule carefully and saw that she would only have two classes with Draco, Potions and Care of Magical Creatures. "I'm sorry but I must go. I-I have to talk with someone," she said and ran out.
Liz looked around the Great Hall and did not see Draco so she sprinted to the hall that led to the dungeons where she ran into Pansy.
"Oh, hi Liz. Where are you going? Surely, you weren't trying to go to the Slytherin Common Room. You...are...not...wanted...there," she said dragging out every word and snickering as though pleased with herself. Liz pushed past her and headed down the hall where she collided into Professor Snape.
"Miss Grant," he said with a look on his face she had never seen directed toward her before, "do watch where you're going. Five points from Gryffindor."
Liz looked up at him with horror on her face. Snape used to give her points for being prepared for class. She was starting to see why the students in the other houses disliked him. Salty tears had leaked their way out of her eyes and were rolling down her cheeks. She walked a bit further and sat down in the corridor. She had only sat down for a few minutes when she heard familiar voices. "Gryffindor, I cant believe she's in Gryffindor," said the voice of Gregory Goyle
"Yeah, I know. Draco is upset. He said he is going to let her catch him making out with Pansy Parkinson so she will break up with him and she wont think it was because of her house." replied Vincent Crabbe. Liz's stomach sank to the floor and her eyes filled up with a fresh set of tears.
"I cant believe he is gonna make out with Pansy Parkinson. That is just gonna make her all confused."
"Don't try to stick up for her because she is the only girl you ever kissed.once."
"Shut up! I kissed her twice," he said weakly.
"Yeah, and both times she only kissed you because she wanted Draco to be jealous."
"So what. You've never kissed a girl."
"What are you talking about." Liz stopped listening as her emotions took control of her. After a moment she looked at her schedule and saw that potions started in 3 minutes. She got up and made her way to the class.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* AN: Okay tell me what you think! Hopefully I will get the next one up sooner than this one! I can only do it when I have my homework done and whatever else. It is still kind of slow but trust me, it will pick up. Please R&R! Thanks!!
