Surprise Sorting
The compartment door slid open once again. Two rather large boys entered followed by a smaller blonde boy. (A/N if you haven't noticed I like describing people by their hair color ) The trio next to Melanie all stood up simultaneously.
Am I missing something here?
Melanie Jumped in front of the blonde boy, sensing that he was the source of tension, suddenly filling the room. "Hullo, I'm Melanie, what's yours?" she said, hoping to begin her plan. Obviously taken aback by her blunt behavior, the boy hesitated in giving his name. "I'm Draco Malfoy, this is Crabbe and Goyle". Melanie shook his hand. At the instant of contact, a jolt of electricity ran between them, and once again two pairs of eyes met, but this time they were gold and silver. Draco broke the connection first.
He looked behind Melanie, and stopped again. Melanie looked at Harry, who was looking at her. Then, Harry switched his gaze from her, to Draco, and finally to Hermione. Melanie realized that that was where Draco had been looking earlier. Draco sneered, muttered something about a mudblood and left.
"Well, that was a lot of looking wasn't it? I'll have a crick in my neck now. And what was that about a mudblood?" Melanie questioned. "A mudblood is a really nasty term for someone who is muggleborn", said Harry. With Harry speaking for the first time since he'd walked in, Melanie thought a joke was in order. "So he speaks! 'Tis a miracle," Melanie grinned, "Oh, by the way, just because I haven't said anything, doesn't mean I don't know who you are. Mr.Potter!" she said in a joking voice.
Apparently, the group took her seriously, because a sudden silence fell upon the group. Ron nudged Harry in the elbow, and whispered in a low voice that Melanie had shaken hands with Malfoy.
But Harry finally got it and laughed. "Damn, just when you think there's hope, you say that..." "I'm American, not stupid!" Melanie joked again. "Anyway, what is all this between you and them?" Here, Melanie started gesturing towards the retreating backs of the three boys. Then, she closed that compartment door. She was kind of impulsive like that. If she hadn't of closed the door, it would have bothered her forever. (A/N heh, that's sort of me, I forgot to close the door in the story, and it kept bothering me, so, 4get that last bit)
Hermione started, "Oh, well, like I explained before, they are Slytherins, and we are Gryffindors and..." "Ah, say no more, I understand." Melanie finished.
After all, that's the problem that I'm here to fix isn't it?
"Oh, we're here!!" Ron exclaimed. They all started getting off. The familiar voice of Hagrid call, "All firs' years this way!" Rang through out the chaos; but it was not familiar to Melanie. "Oh my God!!! Who is that incredibly large man?" "That's Hagrid, he takes the first years up to the castle. Oh, my. Hermione!! Come here quick!! Should Melanie go with the first years?" called Harry. "Yes, I think so, because she has to be sorted. She has to hurry, or they'll leave without her!!" Hermione answered back.
Just my luck. I get separated right away? Dumbledore did not mention this!!
Melanie arrived in the nick of time. But she felt extremely awkward. Everyone was staring at her!!! Hagrid went up to her and slowly asked if she was supposed to be with the others in the carriages.
"Oh, no sir, I'm a transfer, I need to get sorted." "Really," he asked, "I never he'rd o' no transfer before. Are you sure?" "Yes I'm sure" she replied. This day was getting a little too long for her taste. When they got to the castle, Mcganagoll gave them the traditional pep talk. (A/n I 4got how to spell her name. And I'm writing in secret so I can't get up to check, it's too much noise.)
She didn't bother looking for friends, the younger years were not what she was here for. When they were finally called in, the entire school was looking at them. Including Harry, Ron, and Hermione. They all gave a thumbs up sign in turn, and mouthed Gryffindor to her, and then waited.
When they finally called her name, she was a bit worried if Dumbledore had told the stupid hat about her plan. It was too late now to ask. She walked up, but before she could put on the hat, Dumbledore stopped her, and then turned to the school, and addressed them:
"This year we have a special guest with us from America. She will be staying with us for the year, and I'm quite sure that everyone will show her our Hogwarts hospitality." Here, he sat, and discreetly winked at Melanie.
Ok, here goes nothing. Well, he winked at me, he probably told the hat.
She put on the hat, and to her relief, the hat did know of the plan, and she did not have to explain it all. "Well good luck," the hat told her, "and may the force be with you."
SLYTHERIN!!!
Grinning from ear to ear, Melanie walked down from the stool (it was a rather large stool), and walked up to Crabbe who was seated next to Draco, and told him...to move.
He was so astonished, that he did. Melanie sat down next to Draco, grinned, and said to him, "They probably weren't expecting that, were they?" Draco shook his head no.
Melanie looked over to the Gryffindor table, and heard Ron say to Hermione, "Damn, she was cute, and now he has another cronie." Hermione thankfully, smacked him with a handful of pumpkin pie.
Melanie looked at Harry, and to her surprise, he was staring at her. When he realized he'd been caught staring, he blushed, and looked away, embarrassed.
She turned away, a little flushed herself, and turned to Draco. After talking with him for a bit, she realized he had a bit of a glazed look to his eye. "Hello, Draco, Are you listening?" she finally asked. Draco, seemed to wake up a bit. "Oh, yeah, sure, I'm listening, I completely agree...math is our best subject here at school."
She said her good nights, and then did completely unexpected. She went over to the Gryffindor table, said goodnight to Hermione, Ron, and Harry, and with everyone watching her; she walked to the middle of the great hall, and passed out.
A/N- haaa another big cliffie!!!! I thought it might be to soon for her to pass out, but I needed a time when the whole school would be there at the same time. Also, I put spaces for when she was thinking, I think u can realize where. I also apologize for not spacing the first chapter, and I know it a little hard to read. But, ill change it sometime soon. Just not now. I bet you didn't expect the Slytherin twist. Also, the questions remain. Who will Melanie end up with? Will it be Harry? Draco? Why was Draco looking at Hermione on the train? Did she have something stuck in her teeth? Ok, kidding on the last one. What exactly, is Melanie's plan? And, will Melanie be ok? See, I told you I might write more even if I didn't have 5 reviews, Pink glitter to whoever reviews!! I reposted this too!! Oh, I am also about halfway done with chapter 3!!!
Ravyn, Queen of Shadow- Yay!! First reviewer!!! Have some fairy glitter!!! I spent all night up writing this for you 'cuz u asked!! I hope you like it!!
