The great hall is loud and filled with chatter. The sorting of first years is about to happen. I liked watching the sorting. The sorting hat changed its song every year and unlike my brother I was always here, to watch the sorting and the hear song.
"Oh, what song will the hat sing this year do you think?" I look at Luna, with a roll of my eyes I say-"I don't know it changes every year Lun's." Lun's. That was my nickname for her. Looking at the people around us I could see how they mistook us for friends. We're friends but not for much longer. Just use here and break her heart. It was a simple plan, the type I could pull off.
My stomach growled for food, I was starving. "When will they get the dumb sorting over with or even start it?!" I didn't let Luna or anyone for that matter know what I liked outside of books art and fashion. Even then... I was running my hands through my hair making sure Luna could tell I wasn't listening to her. What were my parents talking about? It had something to do with me that much I was sure they were talking about me.
When I had become a Ravenclaw my parents were happy. Smart, and intelligent. Daisy and Willow were getting sorted. Hopefully not into my house. I wouldn't care if I was the only Ravenclaw in the whole Potter clan, I'm the only one, of a lot of things. I'm the only one with the grey which is a good thing. The grey helps me. They told me what had happened when I nearly killed Harry about my Darkside. I'm the only one in the Potter clan with that too.
The sorting starts.
The song this year was-
h,you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your tops hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
Y ou might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell brave of heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means
To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And you won't get in a flap!
You're safe in my hands(though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!
Clapping with everyone else, I put on a face to make everyone around me or watching me, I look sideways at my parents who are watching me. I glare at them and they both look away. The sorting begins and Dasiy got sorted into Hufflepuff, whereas Willow was put into my house much to my anger, I try to make everyone around me think and I will make everyone think by the end of the year I hate that she's here in Ravenclaw. I'm scared that she's here, I'm scared that my Darkside will use that against me.
I look up to see that the food has come. "Yum!" I exclaim grabbing my plate and loading it with food. I watch my parents, I know they're not going to talk here. At the end of the meal, Dumbledore makes the start of terms speech and includes something about some tournament but I'm too busy watching to care besides I can't enter. Sixteen and older. When he's done I roll my eyes. "Unless your poor want attience like my brother and his friend Ron, or have death you wouldn't try to enter." I lean over and whisper this to Luna. I mean it. Who would enter I had done some research and knew that someone had died every time they had done the tournament. "I agree but not about Ron and Harry Rose." I sigh slumping my head on my hand watching my parents.
They stand up and leave with the masses. "Cover for me Lun's, "I say standing up to follow them. Walking at a safe distance, I stay out of view. They enter an empty hall and like the idiots, they are when it comes to talking in private they start talking. I poke my head around
"What do we do Jame's, I feel like I'm a terrible mum." My mother puts her hands to her face, I feel a stab of guilt. My dad takes her chin. "I don't know what happened with Rose but your not a terrible mum," I feel sorry but I need them to cut to the chase. Can't they hurry up and quit without meaning to guilt-tripping me? "Lil's we both know this has something to do with the time Harry nearly died, but we don't know anything else and she was with Luna again, getting off the train." My mother smiles. "Your right let's go back."
I stand up and sprint down the hall to the Ravenclaw common room. Upon entering, Luna runs up to me. "Come on, I got you a bed by the window, since I know you like it and my bed is right next to it I also took your trunk up." "Thanks, Luna," I say before walking upstairs. "Which one is mine?" I ask in a bored tone. Luna points to one as promised by a widow. I walk up and push my face against the window. The view of the forest and hills was amazing and if I squinted hard enough I could see the lake. "Thanks, Lun's," I say turning to face her I smile. "Your welcome!" Luna smile, I feel a little guilty for using her but there's no turning back now.
"Wanna play a game or read?" Luna asks, cooking back her head eyes alight. I was planning on pretending to be tired but I'll humor Luna first. "Sure what do you wanna play?" I say stuffing my hands into my pocket and walking down the stairs. "Why not..." Luna looks thoughtful. I don't blame her. Not reading books or debating in the common room is odd if you play a game, it needs to be something like wizard chess or something. We sit down, and I look at Luna and say. "Why don't we just talk?" In my usual bored tone. "Oh okay, what about Rose?" She said turning to face me. "Oh, why don't you just think of something you're a Ravenclaw?!" Willow walks up to me.
"What are you doing?" I look up glaring at her I say "Leaving." But Willow grabs my arm. "Why do you always cause trouble?" Her eyes alight with anger fists clenched but voice calm and even. "Well well, they sent a scout after the talk." Willows's fists unclench her mouth drops her anger flushed down not gone but she distracted by words. "You eavesdropped on us!" She looks surprised so I roll my eyes. "I always do, Lil sis." I give her a little pat on the head, Luna is watching this go down. "Nothing"- I say this leaning eyes thinned. "Happens without me knowing or hearing," I whisper/hiss this last bit out. I turn to face Luna, I feel sorry for what I just did to Rose but it was for the best. "I feel tired now night." I walk out leaving bewildered Luna and dumbstruck Rose in the nosy common room.
Lying down on my bed I shut my eyes, readying myself to talk to the Grey.
