Chapter 4:
"No, I will leave you to attend to that matter in whatever time frame you see fit." Dumbledore said. Raine nodded.
"You look just as you mother did when she was around your age. It will be a great shock if he doesn't notice before you decided to tell him!"
Raine just looked at the floor, not wanting to talk about her father just yet.
"The sorting ceremony shall begin soon, and you'll want to be present, for you do indeed need a house. Lets head down and get you sorted. Then once you have had a chance to settle, we will meet again."
"Ok" Raine said.
Raine walked along side Dumbledore and down to the Great Hall. By the time they arrived, the four long tables were already full of students. And at the last table, the one which was situated at the other end of the hall, was where all the teachers were sitting. Everyone watched them as Raine walked behind Dumbledore in between the two middle tables.
"Wait here for the sorting to take place." Dumbledore said, then walked up and took his seat in the middle of the teachers table, leaving Raine standing in front of the whole school alone. She could feel everyone's eyes on her, making her feel like an animal on display at the Bronx Zoo. Raine took special note to study the ceiling which reflected the night sky. She didn't need to look at everyone's faces to confirm that she was the center of attention.
Just when Raine thought she should just leave, the doors behind her opened and a stern faced woman dressed in green led the group of first years into the room. The woman placed an old torn hat on a three legged stool. The hat broke out into a song and everyone listened attentively and when it finished the hall roared with clapping and cheers. The stern looking woman began calling students names in alphabetical order and placed the hat on their heads when they sat on the stool. Then the hat would call out one of four names: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin, and table that the name belonged to would cheer loudly as the student took his or her place at their table. Soon Raine was the only one still standing there.
It was then that Dumbledore finally stood. "I'd like you all to welcome our new transfer student, Raine Moray. She comes to us from Salem Witches Institute in the United States. Which ever house she is in, I would ask you all to please make her feel welcome, as well as the first years that are in your house." Dumbledore motioned for her to sit on the three legged stool.
The stern looking witch put the hat on Raine's head.
"Ummmm.... this is an easy one, SLYTHERIN!!" the hat exclaimed.
The table on the right side of the room busted into cheers, all except one person. Raine's attention was quickly drawn to him.
*Shit, its the guy from outside the diner!* her mind screamed.
* I am with him? I am going to make a complete and total fool of myself!* Raine thought as she walked down to the table adorned in green and silver.
"You can sit here!" offered a girl with shoulder length dirty blonde hair and brown eyes. *Much like those of Hermione* Raine noted as she took the seat that she was offered, which was right across from the hottie. "My names Kayleigh, you can call me Kay. What year are you?"
"6th." Raine said, smiling at her.
"Oh, you'll be on my room then." She said excitedly. "This is Blaise..." She said, pointing to a guy at her left with spiked brown hair, and these amazing dark green eyes.
*Kinda like Harry's* Raine mused, *But much sexier.*
"Nice to meet you Blaise" Raine extended her hand out to him. He shook it.
"And I am Draco... Draco Malfoy!" The hot blonde said in a malicious tone. As everyone turned to face him, Kayleigh let out a huff, and was about to say something, but Raine cut her off.
"Nice name!" she said with a hint of sarcasm.
"You'd do well not to forget it." Draco said, surprised that she would dare take that tone to her.
*Malicious, I like* Draco mused, but his thoughts were interrupted by Blaise.
"Shut up Draco. Can't you, for once in your life time, just be NICE. I know the word it like poison to you, but you should try it." Blaise said.
Suddenly the table filled with all kinds of food, and the smell made Raine realize just how hungry she was. Raine pilled food onto her plate, most of which she hadn't seen or tasted before, but was fabulous non the less.
As it turned out Kay was nice and included Raine in their conversation. It did not take long for Raine to learn that Kayleigh and Blaise had become and item last year and were still happily together.
Raine, being as friendly as she is, met alot of new people throughout the course of that one meal. Aleta was a short girl with short black hair and brown eyes, and Melia was a girl with shoulder length brown hair and brown eyes. These were just two of the girls that her and Kay were in the same room with. There was one girl in particular that Raine couldn't stand already, which was this pug faced girl who Kayleigh had informed her was Pansy Parkinson.
"Everyone knows she has her sights set on Draco, but why she thinks someone would actually look twice at her, is beyond me." Kay whispered to her, and sighed. At the mention of his name, Raine looked across the table towards Draco.
She knew it. He had been looking at her again, but was now acting as if he hadn't by talking to Crabbe and Goyle, who both continued to shovel food in their mouths.
*They were like human garbage disposals* she mused. They had been eating for the past half hour straight. And Raine was in complete shock, for she wasn't even able to finish her first plate before feeling as if she was going to explode.
It wasn't long before Dumbledore stood again, and as he waved his hands the plates and goblets were completely cleared as if they hadn't been used. Crabbe and Goyle looked unmistakably upset as Dumbledore began to speak. "Now that we have had our fill, I'd like to welcome you all back to Hogwarts for another year. A few start of the term notices, the Forbidden Forest, is exactly that, forbidden..."
Raine lost interest in the rest of what Dumbledore was saying as her thoughts swayed to her mother.
~*~*FLASHBACK*~*~
*Knock Knock*
"Come in" Raine called to who ever was knocking at her door.
Aurora entered her room, as Raine flipped through the channels on the TV absentmindedly, and stepped over the clutter of books, quills and parchment that laid on the floor next to the bed.
"All finished with you summer work?" Aurora asked as she ran her fingers through her daughter's dark auburn hair.
"Almost." Raine turned off her TV.
"Need any help, honey?"
"No thanks, I know what needs to be done, I'm just too lazy to do it right now." Raine laughed, Aurora laughed with her.
"Alright, just remember you only have a week before your third year begins."
"I know, mum, it will be done before then. I think Kat's coming over tomorrow so we can finish it."
"Ok, sweetie. I have something I would like you to have now that you are old enough." Aurora handed her a piece of paper.
Raine looked down and found out that it wasn't just a piece of paper, but a wizard photo. A man with shoulder length black hair was laughing and smiling up at her.
"He's cute. Who is it?" Raine asked.
"Your father!" Aurora laughed "I took it in our 7th year, out on the grounds at school."
"This is my dad?" Raine had imagined what her father would look like, and this wasn't it, though it wasn't worse then she had imagined.
"Yes."
"Thanks Mum." Raine gave her a hug, thankful that she finally knew what he father looked like and did not have to make up an image just to satisfy herself.
~*~*END OF FLASHBACK~*~*
Raine's thoughts were interrupted by a tapping on her shoulder.
"Come on. I'll show you to the common room." Kay said as people started to leave the Great Hall. Raine followed, wondering what her new life would be like at Hogwarts.
ANYWAYS I HOPE YOU LIKE WHATS TO COME!
