Chp. 2 - The Sorting Hat

(A/N- I don't like the title I made for the Draco POV. Plz give me suggestions and I'll take and I'll dedicate a chapter to u! I'm thinking of changing it to Giselle's POV. Thanks Sharap'n Princess for reviewing!) Sorry about the confusion if you read this, but I didnt like the first version of this chapter I made, and I left out some stuff (i.e. the DADA teacher) so I added a little bit of stuff.

The Hogwarts Express was slowing down, so we both put on our robes (in different corners of course). She must have liked my arm a lot, because she grabbed it again and pulled me into the carriage pulled by invisible thestrals. "Let's get a good seat," she said.

I noticed Draco Malfoy following us around. He was trying to sit by Giselle on the carriage. He managed to get 5 seats away, and was constantly trying to catch Giselle's eye. She ignored him, which made me like her even more.

She asked me lots of questions about the houses. "My grandfather used to go to Hogwarts. He was in Slytherin. It sounds awful. Gryffindor sounds much better," she added grinning. I couldn't help but smile too. I heard someone scowl. Probably Draco. Oh, well.

Giselle had to go with the first years to get sorted."I'll save you a seat," I called after her, hoping she would be in Gryffindor. I found a seat by Harry. "I got something to tell you," I whispered to him. "Well, tell me later," he said irritably as he wrestled some second years down to thier chairs. I sighed and put my head into my knuckle.

I looked up at the Head Table. I saw everyone I expected to see, then I noticed the new Defense Against Dark Arts teacher. It was a woman, and she looked about in her mid-twenties. She had sandy blonde hair and green eyes with just a touch of blue. I noticed most in the guys in the Great Hall (the students, of course) staring and her and pointing and whispering.

The Sorting was beginning. They were letting Giselle go first since she was a transfer. She sat on the stool and gave me a little wave. I gave her a big smile and a thumbs up. It might have been the light, but I could've sworn I saw her blush. Proffessor McGonagall walked towardthe stool carrying the Sorting Hat. After a few seconds, the Sorting Hat shouted,"SLY-".

I drew in my breath. Giselle gripped the seat of the stool and bit her bottom lip. Draco began to smirk. The Hat stopped, then shouted," Gryffindor!" I heaved a sigh of relief and stood up and and clapped along with the other Gryffindors. Draco was saying something to his evil thug monkeys, but I didnt care.

Giselle ran between the tables and gave Hermione a bug hug. Then she turned to me and gave me a hug too. But, to my suprise, she also planted a kiss right on the cheek. I felt my face burn. I didn't actually know how to end the hug, so I waited for her to. It took longer than I expected. The regular sorting started, from Abbern, Nikki in Hufflepuff to Zirkel, Christa in Gryffindor, the sorting ended.

Dumbledore got up and gave his usual announcements about Quittich and the Forbidden Forest and Filches stuff about note using magic in the corridors. Then he said something that suprised me. "We'll be starting a new project this year. Every Saturday, immedeatly after breakfast, you will find a friend and study together. I think this will help study habits. You can have fun at the same time!"

Harry chose Hermione, like I knew he would. She is the smartest girl in the whole school, and between me and you, he has a little thing for her. I turned to Giselle. Without words, we both nodded and had sort of a silent agreement. I figured we would find a nice spot next to Malfoy to study, just to make him mad. I couldn't wait to see the look on his face. I felt this was going to be the best year I had had in a long time.

(A/N- Plz ignore the spelling. I know it sucks. I hope you like it and plz read the A/N above. R&R. I love my precious reviewers. I hope you like this chapter better than the other one. I do :P)
