Author's note
Okay I have been getting a lot of reviews about how confusing my story is and im sorry I didn't know it would be that confusing. The story starts in the early 1900s with the first Draco and Mattie in the Prologues. Their different people then the ones in chapters 3 and so on . Im sorry for the confusion. I have never read "Hogwarts: A History" I didn't know about the aparating I couldn't figure any other way for him to get back to hogwarts. Tabitha is the mother of the Draco in the prologues.I feel that all of your reviews are a great help and I will try to make my entries less confusing. So please keep reading my story and giving great advice to make it better.
Confusing Information
The next morning before Draco and Mattie went down to breakfast Professors Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Snape came to their door. Mattie was the only one of the two of them that heard the knocking of the Professors outside. Draco was grabbing books he had forgotten in his room.
Mattie opened the door and was surprised to see them standing there. She didn't understand why they were there. Dumbledore was in front of McGonagall and Snape, and he had a ratty old hat in his hands. McGonagall and Snape made their way to the couch against the wall near the fireplace and sat down.
"Hello Professors. What are you doing here this early in the morning," Mattie said inwardly wanting them to leave so she could go and eat breakfast.
"Well, first things first Ms. Flagstaff, where is Mr. Malfoy?" Dumbledore asked as he glanced around the common room.
"I'm right here Professor. What is going on?" Draco said as he entered the room from the staircase.
"Well, we are here to decide what house Ms. Flagstaff will be recognized in," Dumbledore said with a smile. Mattie and Draco both saw a small smile from Snape and knew that he wanted another pureblood in his House. "Mr. Malfoy don't you remember when you were sorted," Dumbledore said with a chuckle.
Then Dumbledore gestured to Mattie to sit in an armchair. When she sat down he explained to her about the sorting hat, which is what he had in his hands. He then placed it on her and waited for the hat's answer.
Mattie's POV
Did I hear correctly, he is going to put that disgusting hat on my head and it will tell me which House I will be in. Oh my god, he actually put it on my head gross.
"'Gross', what do you mean'Gross', I am well preserved for my age thank you very much."
She heard a voice whisper into her ears. It can hear me.
"Yes I can hear you, well not hear you but read your thoughts you half wit. Now think of the House you want to be in and I will know if you good enough for it."
I can't just choose a house. From what I have heard they are all great. I don't want to choose the wrong one and have my friends that I have made mad at me. Im sorry choose one for me you would know better than I what house I would be best in, You are reading my thoughts.
"I know, since you are kind and generous and you also have a good heart and care of the feelings of others. I guess I will put you in 'GRYFFINDORE'."After the hat yelled the house Dumbledore removed the hat. From where I was sitting I could see the faces of my Professors. Snape had a grimace on his face that showed how angry he was that I was no longer neutral. McGonagall seemed pleased that she would have another bright student join the ranks of her House.
Main POV
After the sorting the professors left and Draco and Mattie went down to breakfast. He went to his table and she went to her new House table and expressed her joy to her friends Harry, Ron, Hermione and the rest of the Gryffindore's that she was friends with.
After breakfast they had double Divination with Slytherin. They all headed up to Trelawny's where the class was being held. Harry and Ron sat with Hermione and Mattie. The table had one more seat open next to Hermione but Draco filled it fast. Then Professor Trelawny started the class. First they worked on reading palms then they went on to reading tea leaves.
Once they flipped their cups over they passed them to the person sitting next to them. Mattie, Harry and Ron traded within themselves since Draco and Hermione had already exchanged their cups with each other. Ron ended up looking at Mattie's cup.
"Well Mattie your cup says that you are going to meet someone that will make your past clearer," Ron said amused with what was in the tea cup.
"Really, that's what Draco's says too. Let me see that cup," Hermione said grabbing Mattie's cup from Ron's hands. When Professor Trelawny can over to check on their progress.
"So students, what have you found in your partners cups," then something happened and Professor Trelawny spaced out. When Mattie waved her had in front of her face she looked at Mattie a little confused. "What are you doing at Hogwarts Mattie? Have you come to find comfort in an old friend? I heard what that turd Draco did to you, taking you child and all. He couldn't even do it himself either, sending his father to take poor, helpless baby Ethan from you."
"What the Hell are you talking about Professor? I don't have any kids with Draco, are you nuts?" Mattie said a little shocked by what her teacher had just said to her. She was only 17, let alone had any kids especially with Draco, who she only knew for about a month.
Draco just sat in his chair stunned and shocked like the rest of the people sitting at their table. The rest of the class had turned to find out what was going on when they heard Mattie speak to the teacher.
"Good job kids keep working on the tea leaves. Seamus and Neville how are you doing," Professor Trelawny said as she turned to see how Seamus and Neville were doing.
Mattie was shocked at what the teacher had just said. She didn't understand why she had said those things. Mattie looked over at Draco to see if he had anything to say but he was speechless just as everyone else in the class was.
Mattie was confused and needed time to think so she gathered he belongings and started to leave the class when she heard Professor Trelawny speak to her.
"Ms. Flagstaff, where are you going class isn't over yet?" Trelawny said not knowing that she had just been possessed and had scared the shit out of a girl who didn't know what she was talking about.
"Professor Trelawny, do you know what you just said to me?" Mattie asked as she started to get angry since she was so confused.
"Yes I asked you where you are going since class isn't over yet." Trelawny answered thinking that was the only thing she had said to her since she had asked her table about their progress.
"Professor I think your crazy, either you need to get your head checked or something because you are undeniably nuts." Mattie said and turned to leave. When she took her first step she felt as if she had gone through some sort of time portal.
When she looked around the classroom it looked different. She heard a voice that sounded familiar. When she turned to look she saw Draco walking towards her. She thought that it couldn't be him because he was sitting behind her at the table probably still dumbfounded by what had just happened. The Draco she saw was walking with guys she had never seen before and talking about someone but she wasn't exactly sure. When he and his friends were closer she could hear what they were saying.
"You guys should meet this girl that I met in Paris. She is so beautiful and French."
"What's her name, is her family known?" one of his friends asked.
"I don't know if her family is know I just met her two nights ago. Her name is Mathilda Flagstaff, but she told me that her friends call her Mattie."
Just then Mattie was bumped by a student rushing in and she fell backwards. When she finally stood up and dusted herself off she looked around the room again and saw that she back in Professor Trelawny's classroom. She looked at Draco to see if he was the same as the guy in the dreamworld she was just in.
Now Mattie was scared because everyone was looking at her. All she thought to do was run. She ran out of the classroom leaving her bag on the floor where it dropped when she fell. Mattie fled down the stairs from the Divination classroom and sprinted all the way to the portrait of the ballerina, "Twinkle toes," she blurted out as she tried to catch her breath. She skipped her classes before lunch and just sat in the Red Armchair near the fireplace. She made herself comfy and thought about what just happened. She fell asleep.
At lunch Draco came in and set her bag down near the couch by the wall. He had picked it up as he left Trelawny's classroom. He walked over to the armchair that she was siting in and gently woke her. Draco wanted to find out what happened in Trelawny's classroom.
When she awoke she saw Draco's face and tried to get out of the chair. When she was finally out and away from Draco, she ran out of the common room. She just kept running until she came to an unmarked door. Mattie opened the door to find a room that was set up like a classroom but had pillows in a corner. She figured she could lay on some and relax. Everyone would be at lunch and at classes soon. She would be undisturbed for a long time.
Mattie was woken later that night. She couldn't tell what time it was but she knew it was late because the windows were dark. She looked around the room and saw a young man moving a wardrobe to the center of the classroom.
"Oh, Im sorry. I didn't know anyone would be in here. I'll just put these pillows back and leave." Mattie said getting up and grabbing some pillows.
The young man turned around ans she saw that it was Harry. "Its ok, you can stay. Could you just spread out those pillows you were laying on, students will be arriving soon for the DA meeting."
"That's tonight I though it was on Tuesday nights not Fridays."
"It normally is but tonight were sort of having a party for all the prefects in the group. I found a boggart to make the party really interesting."
"Oh, well then I really can't stay."
"Why not are you afraid of something?"
"Yeah, Ducks."
"What, Ducks! Who's afraid of Ducks?"Harry asked holding back a laugh.
"Its ok go a head and laugh. I think its funny too, but they really scare me for some reason and I don't know why?" Mattie said also holding back a laugh.
Just then Harry transformed one of the pillows on the floor into a duck to see what would happen. When Mattie saw the duck she ran towards Harry to hide behind him. Harry started to laugh so hard that he fell to the floor and held his stomach because of the pain.
