Unchained Melody

Author Note: I unfortunately don't own any characters, except for Eli.

Chapter One-

It was the first day after the Christmas holidays, and Snape was being boring as usual. Fred Weasley was asleep during potions, as usual.

"Mr. Weasley!" Professor Snape yelled.

"I didn't do anything," George's voice said.

"I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to your twin," Snape snapped at George. "Wake up!"

"Come on, can't a guy sleep without getting yelled at?" Fred asked sleepily.

"This is my classroom, and I don't want you to sleep in it!" Snape said.

"Well, maybe if you were a little more interesting, I would like your class a bit more," Fred commented.

"Detention, Weasley," Snape said.

Fred was about to comment, but Professor McGonagall walked into the classroom, followed by a girl Fred had never seen before. "Here is your daughter, Severus," McGonagall said, the girl looking nervous.

Snape looked at the girl, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. "Did she get sorted?"

"Yes," Professor McGonagall answered with slight hesitation.

"Slytherin, right?" Snape said nervously.

"Gryffindor, im afraid," McGonagall said, with a slight smile.

Snape wasn't happy at all. Fred could tell by the way he was cursing under his breath. "Well, come then Eli. You can sit next to..." Snape thought, "Fred Weasley, right there."

She sat down next to Fred. Fred felt sorry for her. Mostly because she had Snape as a father. Then to get into to Gryffindor with him as a father would suck. Fred decided he better not get involved with Snape's daughter, at all. Snape would have a fit.

"Hi," Eli said, smiling at him.

"Hi," he muttered back.

"My name is Eli Right," she said.

"Fred," he said back quietly.

Eli looked kind of like her father, with dark brown hair barely passing her shoulders, and brown eyes. But she had a warmth that her father lacked.

"Look to the person next to you," Snape said. "And say hello to your new partners."

One question went through Fred's head at that moment. Why did he put Eli with him? Fred figured that Snape hated him.

"Are you in Slytherin?" Eli asked.

"Nope, im in Gryffindor," Fred said.

"I wish I was in Slytherin," she said, sadly.

"Gryffindor is better," Fred said.

"But my father wants me to be in Slytherin," she said.

"At least your not in Hufflepuff," Fred said. "He would disown you straight away."

"My father would never do that!" Eli said, looking unsure of herself.

Please review!!! This is my first story, and I really want reviews to tell me how I did.
