Chapter 1 Meeting Hogwarts-DAY ONE
"Haha! Found you Stabber!" Crabb jeered at his cat. "You thought I wouldn't find you but I did."
"Crabb lets go. The feast is about to start!" Malfoy and Goyle called to him from across the common room.They walked down to the Great Hall in silence. As they opened the doors to go in, they heard footsteps behind them. All three of them turned around startled. It was Professor McGonagall and some new student. McGonagall looked up and saw them standing there. "You three, to the Great Hall now!" she ordered in her usual strict tone. The three of them walked in and to their seats and sat down. They saw McGonagall walk the new student to the staff table and to Dumbledore. They talked for a few minutes; then McGonagall left out of the right-hand chamber.
She came back 10 minutes later holding the sorting hat. Dumbledore rose out of his seat. "Attention to order please." he said in his dull voice. "I know it is about 1 month into the school year, but we have a new student starting late due to some personal reasons." he began with a slight wink at the new student. "I would like you all to welcome Miss Paige Peyton. She will be in her fourth year here! So I'm suspecting all you fourth years to help her around! Please welcome her." Everyone in the Great Hall clapped. Paige blushed and sat down on the stool McGonagall had motioned her to. McGonagall placed the hat on her head. The hall got very quite. After a minute, the hat yelled out, "SLYTHERIN!!" The farthest side of the right-hand side of the room let out a yell. Paige walked over and joined the table. Sitting next to a pug-faced girl. "You may all eat dinner now. And Paige, I hope you feel welcome. We have the best students here at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!" Dumbledore smiled. "Here Here!" shouted two red-haired twins from the next table over.
Paige ate while talking very exuberantly with the closest girls around her. Meanwhile, down the table, Malfoy, Crabb, and Goyle were having a chat of their own. "What do you think of her?" Malfoy asked his cronies. Goyle started to speak, but Malfoy interupted him. "No. Nevermind, dont answer that."
Back down at the other end, Paige was becoming friends with the girls. "Hey! My names Pansy Parkinson, and this is Blair Zaberin!" Pansy said excitedly. "Hey!" Paige replied. "Where exactly are you from? Because I can tell you aren't from England because you don't have an accent!" Parkinson said. "Naw! I'm not from England! You're right. Haha. I'm from the States." Paige replied laughing. There were various ohh's from around the Slytherin girls. Paige noticed that when the other girls talked to each other. They called them by their last names. She thought this rather odd. But then, Dumbledore rose again and interrupted her. "You may all now go to your common rooms! Good night, and good luck for tomorrow's classes!" he sat down again, and there was a big rush to the doors. Paige followed the Parkinson and Zaberin girls down a couple of staircases to the basement she guessed. And then through a tapestry and to a picture of a man holding a snake. "Password?" the picture said. Paige jumped. She'd never seen a picture talk before. "Pure-blood." Parkinson replied back to it. The picture then opened to show a tunnel leading into a room. They all climbed through it and took seats around the fireplace. Paige sat down in one of the dark-green chairs. She guessed this must be the Slytherin house common room. The girls talked for a long time. "I think I'm going to bed now!" Parkinson said to Paige. "Me too." Zaberin agreed. "I think I'm gonna stay up a little later to clear my thoughts." Paige said to them both giving them a little smile. "Okay, 'night then!" they both said to her. "'night" Paige replied.
Paige sat there for awhile then she heard, "Having fun so far Peyton?" She turned around in her chair to see a cute blonde haired boy smiling at her. She returned the smile. "Yes. Just thinking." "My names Draco Malfoy. But everyone calls me Malfoy." the blond-haired boy said. "Well hello Malfoy" she smiled. He walked over and sat in the chair across from her. "I hear you're from the States." "Yeup! That's right" Paige replied. "That's cool I guess." he said. They sat in silence for awhile. She saw him look at her every once in a while out of the corner of her eye. The next time she saw him do this, she turned to look at him. He winked at her and she smiled and winked back. "You know, you have gorgous eyes." Malfoy said to her. Paige blushed and turned to look back at the fire. 'Why did I look at him? Why did I look at him?' Paige thought to herself.
Paige usually wasn't shy around boys. But this one gave her a strong feeling right behind her navel. She finally got up the courage to talk to him again. "So how come your still up. It's almost 12 o'clock." Paige joked. "I'm always up. I sit up in the dormitories and usually just think. But I came down to get something to drink and saw you just sitting here. So I thought I'd introduce myself." he replied back to her. She loved the sound of his voice. But she promised herself she wouldn't get caught up with boys in the middle of her studies. "That was nice of you! Now you know me and I know you!" she said. He smiled at her again. 'God. He's so hott.' Paige thought. "Well, it was nice meeting you tonite. We should do this again. But I think I'm going to bed so I'm not so terribly tired tomorrow." Paige tiredly laughed. "Alrite. Meet me here again tomorrow. We'll go somewhere. I have an invisibilty cloak. We can go anywhere in the castle. And I'll walk you around to our classes tomorrow. All of the fourth year Slytherins have the same classes." Malfoy said as he stood up. Paige also stood up and started walking towards the girls dormitory. She felt Malfoy's hand on the small of her back. He whispered, "Goodnite." And walked away. 'night' Paige thought to herself. And walked into the dormitory and fell on her bed and fell right asleep.
"Haha! Found you Stabber!" Crabb jeered at his cat. "You thought I wouldn't find you but I did."
