-------------------------------------------------------------------
Slytherin or Gryffindor
As soon as I stepped off the train, I heard my name being called. I looked up and this monster of a man was towering over me.
"Are ye Christina Good?" He asked.
Nervous as I was I answered. "Umm,…yeah."
"Good. Come wit' me." I followed the man as he cleared a path through the streets. He stopped in front of a pole.
"Uh, what are we doing here?" I asked.
"Ye," he answered without turning around, "are goin' ta see Dumbledore. In his office. Here." He put my hand on the pole and instantly I was in an office full of paintings, gadgets and gizmos and a very old man.
"Hello Ms. Good. I'm sure getting here wasn't much trouble."
"Yeah well when you travel from the U.S., then have to get on a train that takes you to anotherstation, and you walk through a wall to get on another train and then walk to a pole that teleports you to an office, I'd say it would be a very trying day. Don't you!" the last part was a little venomous. But hey I was tired I didn't want to talk I wanted to go to bed!
"Well you've had quite the adventure Miss Good. Now let's get down to business. As you might have guessed by know, I'm Albus Dumbledore. Headmaster of Hogwarts. And I know who you are and who your parents are." He said quietly but there was a quiet dignity behind it which calmed me.
"How…how do you know!" Scared out of my wits. No one was to know of my past. I mean NO ONE was to know.
"It's my job to know and it's okay your secret is safe with me and my staff. You're starting here with a clean slate, even if it is your last year at school." He looked at me above his bifocals. "Now on a happier note let's get you into a house." He went over to a cupboard and opened it revealing a very torn up hat. "Please sit down." He motioned to a stool and as I sat down he placed the hat on my head and the hat began to speak.
"Well, hello! Who do we have here? Hmm…clever, very clever, but also cunning, brave yet a hint of self preservation is in you. Ah, and very, very smart. Book and streets, amazing! I've never encountered anyone like you before. Your mind is very complicated my dear. Savagery. Interesting. Very interesting. You will do fine in Slyffindor. I mean, Grytherin. Oh well, you choose between the two." And with that the hat stopped speaking and I took the hat off and looked up at Dumbledore. Silence.
"You know, you have very weird house names." I said breaking the silence.
"I, umm, we, umm, don't have house names like those." He seemed surprised but also figuring something out. "What we do have is Slytherin and Gryffindor."
"Maybe your hat got mixed up?" I said trying to give a reason to why there was no definite house.
"No, no, no." Dumbledore said shaking his head. "It seems that you are both Slytherin and Gryffindor." He finished smiling an all-knowing smile. A look of enlightenment crossed his face. "Since we can't put you in one house. Let's give you a room of your own." He crossed the room to another cabinet and opened it. Inside there was a map of not the school, well of the school, but only of rooms that open through paintings. He seemed to be searching. "Ahh, here we go! There is a painting on the 3rd floor right next to the bathroom. It holds the picture of a castle. Whisper to it 'Blood Ripple' and it should open. We'll talk later. Sit at the Slytherin table for now. Let's go to dinner." And with that we both left Dumbledore's office and made our way down to the Great Hall.
---------------------------------------------------
As we entered the Great Hall, eyes were looking from me to Dumbledore. He pointed to the Slytherin table and I found an extra seat between two girls that looked my age.
"Hi I'm Cristina. Most call me Chrissy. I'm new here."
"Hi." Said the girl on my left. Suddenly food appeared and everyone dug in. "Hi, sorry just really hungry." She apologized. The one on my right was talking, no boasting, about her boyfriend or something. "My name's Vala." She was about to say more but someone else cut her off.
"Oh, I wouldn't talk to her." I turned around to Malfoy talking.
"Why you so concerned about little ol' me, Malfoy?" I said. You could almost see him blush.
"Just trying to save you from joining in with the wrong crowd."
"And what 'crowd' would that be."
"She's a lesbian! She might jump you in the shower. Actually, I'd like to see that!"
"Fuck off, Malfoy." She spat at him. I spoke up.
"Now hold up, ya'll can't get along!" I said, then turning to Vala. "Are you really a lesbian? Be honest."
She turned her head down, not daring to look at me. "Yes." She answered quietly.
"Awesome! I'm so glad there's some gays at this school. I thought ya'll be straight! I was worried."
"Wait a minute, are you gay!" she asked.
"Oh hell no! I just thought since this is a prep school. They wouldn't allow gays in. Plus, at my old school, most of my closest friends are gay!"
"Sooo, you're cool with me?"
"Of course, I enjoy having gay friends. And their really down to earth, ya know?"
"Yeah." Vala said. She had brownish-red, straight hair with brilliant green eyes. She has an athletic, curvy build like me. "OMG! I can't believe it! Most, well ALL of my friends ditched me after I came out! You're like…my hero!"
"Yeah don't get too close, we wouldn't want another one in this school." Malfoy had reentered the conversation. In fact, most of the guys at the Slytherin table were listening to mine and Vala's conversation. I decided to spice things up a bit.
"Hey! What you mean by another one! I mean I thought you were gay and I'm rarely wrong. So why don't you shut up and let me and my new friend chat, okay!"
"I am not gay. And what are you bi or a lesbian?"
"Listen you little piece of shit. I'm straight. I've said this five hundred times. Ask any guy around they've been listening the entire time!" All the guys faces flushed red. "Oh, and listen! I don't care what you think but don't lie about yourself, alright? If you want to be gay I don't care. But stop pressing this stupid matter, okay?"
"Damn straight." Vala agreed. And we started laughing until Dumbledore stood up and began to speak.
"Listen up everyone! I hope everyone enjoys this year of school. Now get to bed! HAHA!"
And with that everyone moved to go up to their dorms. I had been there for almost 2 hours and I already had memories to last for a lifetime! HAHA!
