Wow I haven't update in forever…about time no? ;)

I noticed my chapters were pretty short… I'll try and make them longer! I can't promise anything though, this one will probably turn out short. --

Students arrive at Hogwarts while first years get sorted to their houses.

"Hey Malfoy, your lover just went on stage", Goyle said saying lover as slowly as he could.

Malfoy reacted as he normally would, by simply hitting him. His eyes still drifted up towards the stage.

-----

"Look, it's Jade on the stage! I guess she's getting sorted with the first years since she's new", Hermione said intelligibly.

"I hope she's in Gryffindor. Padfoot was, wasn't he?" Ron questioned.

"Shh…they're about to sort her." Harry said holding up a finger to his mouth motioning for his friends to be quiet.

----

"And now we have a new student joining us, she's entering the 6th year. Please welcome, Jade Black!" announced Dumbledore.

Students murmured about her last name, but after that no one thought twice about it. It was just a coincidence to them that she had the same last name as an alleged crazed murderer.

At the Slytherin table Malfoy gave a thoughtful look when he heard her last name. He pushed it to the back of his mind.

Jade walked confidently up the stage. "I don't know why people are scared to get sorted. It's just a hat!" She rolled her eyes.

The sorting hat was placed on her head and a weird feeling went through Jade's body. The sorting hat began speaking to her. Jade couldn't tell if he was speaking out loud or not.

"You have intelligence no doubt…there is definitely some darkness about you…but overall you have courage surging through you." "GRYFFINDOR!" yelled the Sorting Hat.

Claps were heard around the Great Hall, especially the Gryffindor table.

Jade smiled and walked gracefully off the stage. She took a seat at the very welcoming table.

The boy to the right of her announced himself to be Seamus Finnegan. Harry sat in front of her, Hermione to her left, and Ron next to Harry.

"Yay, you're in our house! You're going to have so much fun in Gryffindor!" Hermione said joyfully.

Jade gave a wide smile and watched a few first years get sorted.

"Hey, I was wondering." Jade asked looking towards Harry and Ron, "how good is the Gryffindor quidditch team?"

"It's fantastic! Harry's a seeker you know!" Ron said delighted that the subject of quidditch came up.

Harry shook his head with a quaint smile. "You interested in playing?"

Hermione was pleased that Harry wasn't being sexist about who could play quidditch or not.

"Wow I would love that! I've practiced a bit on my own. I think I could be a decent chaser."

The conversation stopped when Dumbledore announced the feast would begin. Immediately students started chowing down on the delicious food.

Malfoy couldn't stop staring at the new Gryffindor.

So far Jade was enjoying her life at Hogwarts.
