He loves me, he loves me not
Chapter 4- And so it begins!
The Hall was alive with excitement. There were candles everywhere. The ceiling had turned into a fiery night sky. People were at their assigned tables, each one was a specific house.
"So you're finally here!" Harry said, escorting Reggie inside. Reggie was in awe of the school, it was nothing like her one back home. All 5 of them looked up at the ceiling, which seemed to go on forever.
"Hey there's Dumbledore!" Ron said pointing at a man with a beard down to his knees. He was very old, and looked wiser than ever.
"He's the head of the school?" Reggie asked.
"Yep. He's very wise!" Hermione said. Dumbledore stood up and waved his arms in the air; the whole school silenced. Ginny, Hermione, Ron, and Harry, took their usual seats at the Gryffindor table, while Reggie was told to move to the center of the room.
"I'd like to have all 1st years and new students stand right here please!" Dumbledore said, while pointing to the spot in the middle of the 4 tables.
Reggie was nervous. Her heart pounded. She didn't know what she'd get on. Gryffindor? Hufflepuff? Slytherin? Maybe Ravenclaw? She didn't know, but hoped for Gryffindor............or Slytherin. She sighed in deeply and looked to her left. At the end table was a familiar blonde boy talking to his friends. He looked up and caught her eye, then smiled. Reggie smiled back and looked at her right. There was her 4 friends looking at her. Even though Reggie didn't know, they too were really nervous for her.
"Ohhhhhh I hope Reg gets in Gryffindor!" Ginny excitedly said.
"Yeah! But whatever it is, it just better not be Slytherin. She'll hate it, I know she will!" Ron said.
Meanwhile on the other side of the room....
"Hey there's Reggie!" Crabbe said, pointing to her.
"Oh she better get in Slytherin. Aye, Draco?!" Goyle said, elbowing his friend in the rib.
"Cut it ok? She'll get into Slytherin, I know it. Just anything better then that house with Potter in it!" Draco smirked. Professor McGonagall stood infront of the new students with a scroll in her hand, and a seat behind her.
"When I call your name, you'll have to sit here on this chair. Then I'll put the sorting hat on your head. It will put you in your appropriate house. This year, I will start by naming all students transfering into school." Professor McGonagall said, holding up the familiar sorting hat. "Now first is, Reggie Steewall!"
Reggie held her breath, Draco held his breath, Ginny held her breath, and so did everyone else. Reggie walked up to the stool, and everyone was watching her. The hat was placed on her head.
"Gryffindor! Gryffindor! Gryffindor!" the gang whispered from their table.
"Slytherin! Slytherin! Slytherin!" Draco said at his table.
"Ohhhhhh pretty hard!" the Sorting Hat started, "Mysterious, yes. Pretty courageous too. Someone who you can't always read right through! A daredevil too. Hmmm and someone who listens to herself. This is hard but I'll have to say....."
"Slytherin!" Draco said.
"Gryffindor!" Harry said.
Then the room went quiet before the Sorting Hat said....
"SLYTHERIN!"
The whole Slytherin table got up and cheered and clapped for their new friend.
While the Gryffindor table just sat in disbelieve. Every Gryffindor thought they'd be on their team, since she was the Weasley's cousin. The gang was pretty much horrified at what just happened.
"So I didn't think this would happen..."Ginny silently said.
"Well I don't think none of us did!" Harry said. They all sighed.
Meanwhile at the Slytherin table, everyone was shaking Reggie's hand, until she got up to Draco. He gave her a little hug, which she didn't think would happen.
"Congrats Reggie! You'll love this house!" Draco said.
"Yep I bet I will! To bad my cousins aren't on this team too, though." Reggie said. The next name was called for Hufflepuff and another cheer came.
"Oh don't worry. I guess I'll just take care of you now." Draco laughed. Reggie laughed too, but she was still a bit nervous about not being with her friends. She'd just have to make new friends. And now, she could show them how Draco isn't really bad, but just a normal kid.
The rest of the names were called and Hufflepuff got most of the new students. Then a great feast had come. Food came right out of the plates on the table. There was chicken, ribs, and salad.
After their first dinner in their 6th year, they were ordered to go to their rooms. Reggie met the rest of the gang though outside of the Great Hall's doors.
"So....." Reggie said, "I got on Slytherin."
"Well I think we know! I can not believe you're not with us!" Ron shouted. No one knew why he was so mad at this.
"I'll still see you guys right?" Reggie asked.
"Of course you will. We have our classes together." Hermione said.
"Ok. Well know I don't know where the commen room is! Do you?" Reggie asked, looking around for the Slytherin room. They all nodded no. But then out of no where, a hand grabbed Reggie's.
"Come on it's this way!" Draco said, dragging Reggie away from her friends. He smirked at all of them while they walked around.
"See you tommorow then!" Reggie called out. The rest of the gang waved bye.
"She is not going to have fun with Malfoy." Harry said. They watched as Draco and Reggie walked towards the Slytherin room.
-----------------------------------------
All of the Slytherin's walked into their commen room. It was a big room with black and green leather couches. The colors green and silver filled the room. It was pretty cold looking in the room though. Draco, Crabbe, Reggie, and Goyle took a seat on one of the couches, while Reggie was handed her badge and tie. The badge had a snake on it, and the tie was green and silver diagonal lines.
A 7th year stood up infront of the crowd of Slytherin's. "Girls rooms are up the stairs, first door on the left. The boys are up the stairs and the second door on the left. Any questions? Well I'm not taking any anyway. Ok, now you can go to the rooms then."
Reggie stood up and started to walk over to the girls rooms.
"Hey where you going?" Draco asked.
"To the room. Why? Aren't you gonna go to?" she asked.
"Well we can stay up a little longer you know. " Goyle said.
"Yeah I know. But I'm tired. So I might as well just go to bed. Night!" Reg said and left the guys on the couch.
"Well why'd you want her to stay up longer Draco?" Crabbe asked.
"I wanted to show her the shack," Draco replied.
"But we can't be out later than now. What did you even want to do there?" Goyle said. Draco looked at him and smiled.
"What do you think?" Draco yelled. Crabbe and Goyle finally got it.
"That's sick. You've known her for about a week and already you wanna go and............make out in that shack?!?!" Goyle shouted. Everyone still in the room looked at them.
"Shut up you guys! So what, I LIKE HER! Is that so bad? Even though she is the Weasley's cousin, I still like her." Draco said.
"Maybe you should tell her. I know she likes you too." Crabbe said.
"How do you know if she likes me??" Draco asked.
"Just a guess. But I think you should tell her or something." Crabbe said.
"Hmm, I'll think bout it. I might as well go to sleep, since there's nothing else to do...." Draco said, making his way to his bed. "I'll meet you up there!"
Draco thought of if Reggie liked him or not. Maybe he should tell her.
