Kagome's Magic Luck for Guys

Chapter 3

The Sorting Hat


One of the Professors called all the first years over and sent them on into the building she quickly searched for the first third years and smiled when she found them.She quickly grabbed Kagome and Sota by their arms and gave them instructions and pushed the two in with the first years. Kagome became nervous and gripped her brother's hand. The doors opened and the first years form a line and begin to move forward. Kagome followed and quickly became sick once she seen everyone's faces in the great hall. Kouga who was sitting at a table began waving at her and she noticed Sesshoumaru's eyes on her too, he gave her a curt nod of greeting and turned back to a ragged looking hat. As the first years began the thin and join their tables, Kagome's hands became a sweating mess. Only a few left.

"Slytherin!"

"Hufflepuff!"

"Ravenclaw!"

"Slytherin!"

"Gryffindor!"

"Gryffindor!"

"Hugglepuff!"

"Gryffindor!"

"Ravenclaw!"

"Slytherin!"

Next was Sota's turn and by gods Kagome had never seen his face so green in her life. He nervously stumbled to the stool and sat down. The professor from earlier smiled and placed the hat on top of his head. It seemed like a millennium until the hat finally called out.

"Slytherin!"

Kagome smiled and clapped for her brother, and she was finally called last. Kagome slowly moved towards the stool and sat. Some Slytherins cheered and whistled at her and everyone else watched in anticipation. Kagome could hear the hat mumble in her ear but couldn't make out the words. Finally the hat fell silent and she tensed as it called out.

"Slytherin!"

She smiled and looked over, Kouga's face was crestfallen but Sesshoumaru's was just emotionless. Neither would make eye contact with her. Kagome's heart fell and she felt tears come to her eyes.

Harry watched as Kagome hung her head and was directed to her table. He knew she was crying and he wanted to comfort her. Why had she turned out to be a Slytherin? Surely she wasn't bad! He would ask Dumbledore some time.

Kagome sat next to her brother and across from a stunning blonde-headed boy. He shot her a sly pearly grin and continued to watch her all through the buffet. She barely touched any of the food. Her stomach was far from hungry but she felt horrible. She knew Kouga and Sesshoumaru were ashamed of her. She quickly straightened her back. If they were ashamed of her by what house she was put in then they didn't deserve her friendship, but Kagome's heart still ached. Surely they could still be friends. Right?

Awhile after the food disappeared and the Prefects took the house students to their dorms. Except Slytherin, who was guided by Professor Snapebecause their prefectwould be absent for some time.As everyone was filing out of the great hall Kagome bumped into someone and said her apology.

"No problem Kagome."

"Oh, hi Harry." Kagome gave a weak smile.

"Don't be upset, it wasn't your choice. Just find me if you need help with anything." Harry smiled and gave her shoulder a squeeze before he left.

"Thanks." Kagome heart lifted a bit. "If only others felt that way." She whispered to herself.

Sota smiled and slung his arm around his sister's shoulders. "Ready for the school year?"

"As ready as I'll ever be."

Kagome sulked through the halls with the rest of the Slytherins. She watched as the staircases above and below her move around and quickly moved closer to her brother. The blonde headed boy from earlier fell in step with her and introduced himself.

"I'm Draco Malfoy." He smiled again. "Welcome to Hogwarts."

"Thanks." Kagome didn't bother introducing herself, something about him was off.

Sota glared at the boy. This Draco boy was sending bad vibes and bad intentions. He pulled Kagome to the other side of him.

"I'm her brother. Sota Higurashi." Sota glared a warning.

"Nice to meet you." Draco smirked, gave a curt nod to Kagome and walked back to his friends.

"Jerk." Sota looked at his sister. "I better not see you getting involved with him."

"I won't" Kagome assured.

After they reached their dorm and the Prefect had told everyone the password, Kagome followed the rest of the girls into the female dormitory saying goodnight to her brother. None of the girls acknowledged her but Pansy who sneered in her face threatening her to stay away from 'her Draco'.

Kagome snorted and agreed, quickly entering her four-poster bed. Not listening to the other Slytherin girls goggle about her brother. She suddenly wasn't so excited about the school year. Tomorrow would be rough.


Kagome woke up before everyone else in the Slytherin house and quickly got dressed. She didn't want to be caught and taunted by the rest. She rushed down the stair and out the portrait. The sun had just begun to shine through the windows and she slowed her pace. After all she still had to find the Great Hall again. Kagome had been walking down hall after hall, she stopped to figure which way to go next when a portrait in front of her asked, "Password?"

Kagome jumped and turned around to find a portrait of a fat lady. "Uh, I'm looking for the great hall."

Before the fat lady could answer it swung open, scaring Kagome half to death again, and Harry stumbled out.

"Oh." He noticed Kagome, "What are you doing here?"

"I was looking for the Great Hall."

"Oh, We'll go together." He smiled as they began to walk down the hall.

"So what are you doing up so early?"

"I could ask you the same."

"I couldn't sleep well last night." Harry shrugged.

"My house gives me the creeps."

Harry laughed, "I don't know why you were put in that house."

They stayed silent until the Great Hall doors came into sight. "Great, I'm starving." Harry smiled.

Kagome felt her stomach rumbled and blushed, "Me too."

Kagome followed Harry to the Gryffindor table and sat down next to him. Harry really didn't want to scare her off by telling her how unusual it is for another table to sit with the others so he said nothing. They talked about this and that and how Harry is the seeker on the Gryffindor quidditch team. Kagome was amazed at all the magic she would soon learn.

The huge doors opened once again and students from other houses came piling in. Hermione and Ron came over and gave her a weary smile before sitting on the other side of Harry. Inuyasha came over with Kouga, they seemed to be shouting insults at each other again. Inuyasha stopped and glared at Kagome.

"What is she doing here?"

Kagome looked over Inuyasha's shoulder to find Sesshoumaru staring intently at her.

"She happens to b-" Harry was interrupted as Kagome stood up.

"Its okay I was just leaving. Thank you Harry." She smiled and walked out of the great hall having the six Gryffindors staring after her.

"That wench has no right to sit here." Inuyasha plopped down in Kagome's seat.

Harry stomped on his foot. "If you didn't mind, I happened to be having a great conversation with Kagome. She's a very nice girl." Harry blushed.

"Same girl Harry met on the train." Ron informed.

"Oh so that's his new crush?" Miroku popped up from behind Sango who had sat down next to Kouga after Kagome left.

"Shut up." Harry blushed again.

Sesshoumaru ignored the girl, Kagome, all together. He was warned by his father not to get involved in any Slytherins. He didn't want to tarnish his family honor by a mixed girl either. Someone like her, Hogwarts didn't deserve.
