Hi everyone sorry this took a while I had been snowed under with coursework and need to take a bit of a break for my mental health but all is fine now onto the story XXX
Astra's P.O.V
"the first years, professor McGonagall" hagrid told McGonagall "thank you hagrid" McGonagall said kindly she led us to a smaller room you could hear the noise from the great hall "is it true that Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts" laughed a boy with platinum blonde hair good gods he seemed snobby "what about it" harry I muttered under my breath he looked at me then back at Harry "the names Draco, Draco Malfoy let me show you around and who you who are the wrong sort of people to be friends with" he said holding out his hand to sake "I can tell the wrong sort for my self thanks" harry said as he turned down the blond weasels hand shake I internally yelled Atta boy Harry you been learning instead I just smiled smugly I knew my last name had mean after Dumbledore found us I travailed with him to japan and meet the pure blood family who shared my last name they were nice people and agreed to go along with my back story "what are you smirking at" weasel said to me "just how you think your name Is the most important one here your wrong if you do" I laughed before he had a chance to speak McGonagall was back
"follow me into the great hall the sorting ceremony will begin" she told us we followed the great hall was beautiful the ceiling looked like the night sky it was gorgeous "it's not actually the night sky it is just bewitched to look like it I read about it in Hogwarts a history" Hermione's grating voice could be heard professor McGonagall placed the hat on a stool and it opened its mouth
"Oh, 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 top 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.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at 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 in 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 don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!" the hat finished and the hall burst into applause "I am going to kill Fred" I heard Ron mutter "now when I call your name you will come and place the sorting hat on your head and be sorted you can't charge house once you are sorted" McGonagall droned on she took out what I assumed was the list "Abbott, Hannah" she called out and a pink faced girl went and put the hat on a minute later it shouted "hufflepuff" she went to the hufflepuff table I zoned out of a bit all I heard was there Houses "bulstrode, Millicent" was called then placed in Slytherin
"Draconis, Astra" I heard my name I walked forward every one looked at me and whispered the weasel had a face of shock "what do we have here" the hat spoke but paused all most like it was thinking "very intelligent loyal too very loyal and brave as well as powerful now where to put you. You have been throw things your fellow students couldn't imagine but where to put you" the hat debated out loud it felt like forever fir the hat to decide I heard an older student whisper to his friends "she is a hat stall" I don't know what that is "for the love of hera hurry up" I said under my breath "Slytherin" the hat finally shouted the Slytherin table smirked as I went to sit down next to Millicent
"natsu dragneel" McGonagall called out as soon the hat touched his head it yelled "Gryffindor" said table got up in a round of applause as he sat down a few for names passed including Hermione's then it was luce's turn
Lucy's P.O.V
"lucy heartfilia" McGonagall called my name I put the hat on "I see intelligence and a thirst to prove yourself don't care about your status you loyal like Astra as well but I think ravenclaw" the hat yelled I went to join the ravenclaw students "Wendy heartfilia" professor McGonagall called Wendy next after a minute the hat yelled "hufflepuff" she looked okay with it and that was all that mattered next was a boy named Neville Longbottom he was placed in Gryffindor after a while then ryan was also place in Gryffindor almost as sokn as he put the hat then it was Malfoy as soon as the hat touched his hat it yelled "Slytherin" we walked to the table like he owned the place good luck to him Astra will show him that his status means nothing and shrink his ego should be fun to watch a few more names where said the Harry's was called
Harry's P.O.V
"harry potter" the professor called my name the hall erupted into whispers "Potter as in the Harry Potter" was asked a lot the hat was place on my head "interesting " a small voice said inside my head "difficult very difficult plenty of could, a thirst to prove your self not a bad mind a lot of talent I see now where to put you" the voice who I guess was the hat said "not Slytherin" I say over in my head "not Slytherin you say you friend is in Slytherin I know you want to be like her no, well then it better be Gryffindor" the said but yelled the last part I went and sit next to natsu as I sat down Percy weasly asked to shake my hand so I did and Fred and George yelled got up and "we got Potter" we laugh and then waited for Ron and Eric to be sorted
Eric/cobras P.O.V
After harry was sorted my name was called, I went to put the hat on "how unusual you have done not great things in the past put you have been forgiven and have found the peace you need as well as love but you are still cunning but loyal incredibly so especially to Astra Draconis, I know what house you belong in, Slytherin" the hat yelled the last part after 10 minutes every one was sorted Dumbledore got up to speak "welcome old and new students to Hogwarts before we begin tonight's feast I have a few words nitwit, blubber, oddment, tweak thank you also we have some new teachers starting this year may I introduce the deputy head of Gryffindor erza scarlet she will teach you summoning, next is deputy head of Slytherin mira Strauss she will teach you a brand of transformation magic next is deputy head of ravenclaw levy mcgarden she will teach the elective ancient ruins as well as two new grounds keepers Mr gray fulbuster and Mr gajeel redfox the first years the forest on the grounds our forbidden from being entered and a few older ones should also remember also no magic between classes in the hallways and quidditch trials are in the second week of term if interested go see madam hooch also this year the right side if the third floor corridor is out if bonds to everyone who doesn't want an early and painful death now begin" Dumbledore said ending his speech and we all dug into the food I am surprised gray is still fully dressed to be honest
"so Astra what was it like growing up" Blaise I think his name was asked he looked intrigued "it was fun I had a lot of muggle friends as well as Eric and a few others like lucy and Wendy we grew up together, my parents didn't really care about the whole pure blood thing sure they are pure bloods but they don't care about that" night explained "that's cool I wish my mom was that chill" Blaise said with a hint of sadness Astra story was sorta true the Draconis where friends with muggles "I think it's disgusting you and your parents are blood traitors" Malfoy snorted "no one asked your mouthy" Astra stated "it is Malfoy don't disrespect me or my farther…" he began but Astra cut him off "or your farther will do what for the love of Olympus get your own views and fight your own battles daddy won't help you in the real world Draco" Astra scolded him and started to eat again we all held back laughing "is she always like this" Blaise whispered to me "yep night has been like that as long as I have known her" I told him accidently using her nickname "I like the night sky I call him cy shoot for cyclops because he only has one eye" Astra said looking up from her food not missing a beat "birth defect" I whispered to him quickly we went back to eating
After dinner we where escorted to our rooms I was rooming with Blaise thankfully it was just us two "must not ne as many Slytherin this year oh well" Blaise said as we got ready for bed "I feel bad for Astra she has to room with pansy grew up with the girls she is rude" Blaise continued "good night zabini" I stated before I went to bed "good night Eric" heard him yawn before it went dark
