Skylar looked around the King's Cross station. She wondered how she was supposed to get on a platform that didn't exist. She then saw a man and asked him how to get on. But he only thought she was playing a joke on him. Skylar was about to give up, when she saw some bright red hair. She followed them, and watched how they got on, she then saw the boy earlier. Once the family was gone, she attempted it. She was getting nervous when she saw the wall coming closer and closer, but then as she glided though it, Skylar looked in awe of the bright red train in front of her. She then attempted to get her trunk on the train by herself, but then a tall man, wearing a yellow and black tie offered to help and she accepted it. After thanking him, she found a empty cart and sat down, rubbing her scar on her hand. After what seemed like forever a young girl opened the door.
"Have you seen a toad, Neville's lost one." A girl with brown bushy hair asked. Skylar shook her head but before the girl could leave Skylar stood up.
"Can I help you look for your toad?" She asked a round faced boy standing behind the girl. He nodded his head nervously, and Skylar did a warm smile at him and walked on the other side of the train. She was almost done checking the carts when she heard a croak. She then opened the last cart and three boys were in it, the blond haired one was holding the toad, his wand above it.
"Put the toad down!" Skylar yelled at him, and the boy looked up in shock, but then recovered and sneered at her.
"Look who we have here Crabb Goyle! Red hair, second hand robes. You must be a Weasley." He said as the other two boy started to laugh. Skylar shook her head but took out her wand and pointed it at the blond.
"Ahh, a brave one here I see. I'm Draco Malfoy, and if your not a Weasley, you must be a filthy little Mudblood! I will bet my wand you don't even know a spell. From just looking at you, you most likely will be a Hufflepuff, as for me. I'll be in Slytherin, my whole family has been. But you must get out of my cart,, take your stupid toad, surprised you could afford one. Goodbye Mudblood." Draco finished and Crabb and Goyle pushed her out of the cart.
Skylar then started to cry as she held the toad in her hands. She then headed over to where they were going to meet up, she then found Neville, gave him his toad and left before he could say thank you. She quickly ran to her little cart and started to cry, she didn't know what a Mudblood was, but she knew it was something horrible. The train then slowed to a stop and she looked out and saw the giant again. Calling to the first years. She then followed him and got into a boat with three other people, turning so they couldn't see the tear stains on her cheeks. They soon arrived at the castle and walked into the Great Hall.
Skylar was dreading when her name was going to be called. At last she was the last one left.
"Skylar?" The professor called out as Skylar grabbed the hat and placed it on her head carefully.
Hmmm, very tricky, very tricky. I see wit, compassion, bravery. But mostly I see ambission, eagerness to prove yourself worthy, so I guess the right house to place you in is..."SLYTHERIN!" Skylar then took the hat off as the far table clapped the hardest. She then saw the only seat open was next to that Draco boy.
"Hmmm, guess the hat's losing it's touch, placing a Mudblood in Slytherin-" "Shut Up!" Skylar shout at him as the headmaster was making his speech. Afterwards they arrived in the common room, with was in the dungeons, Skylar quickly went straight to the girl dorms, and right into bed. She wanted this day over. Her last thoughts were how she would learn so many ways to put spells and curses on Draco. She then smiled and fell asleep.
