Hailey and Draco were having a great time. Just laughing and talking with no one to bother them. All the laughter stopped when Draco stopped in mid-sentence and stared at Hailey…in the exact same way as Harry. Hailey was so confused at why people were looking at her like that, but she didn't dare ask, she thought it might cause some sort of problem.
Everything was jumbling up in Hailey's mind. She couldn't figure everything out at once. First this guy standing right in front of her was calling her names earlier and now are having a great time together…laughing and talking like they have known each other for years. Draco saw something in her, something familiar.
Draco thought an thought about it. He got it, but not dare tell Hailey because he did not want to break up this night by telling her that she had his (Draco's) and his father's hair, but Hermione Granger's eyes. He couldn't, but it was all to strange…NO he was not going to do it and ruin his wonderful meeting with Hailey.
"What are you looking at Draco" asked Hailey?
"Oh, sorry…some thoughts just went through my head, nothing to worry about" answered Draco.
"All first year members come over to me and I shall lead you to the Great Hall for a feast and the placing of the houses.
"Looks like that is me" said Hailey to Draco "can I sit with you at the Feast?"
"Uh…it depends if you get put on Slytherin" said Draco
"Oh…." Hailey said as she started to star off into space. She remembers that her "parents had told her that she belonged on Slytherin and that there was no one on Gryffindor for her, but she hadn't understood what her parents were trying to get at. Now she understands, there are houses and you are placed in one. Everything started to click now, except what this school was teaching…was this what a regular school was really like?
"Uh…I can almost bet you that I belong on Slytherin." Hailey replied, "what team is Harry on?"
"Ugh…don't even speak of Potter…I will lose my appetite" shrieked Draco
"I have to go, they are leaving! Bye!" Shouted Hailey as she ran towards the first year group.
Hagrid led all the first years to the great hall and lined them up by the doors, but eventually it turned into a mob.
Dumbledore began to rumble off names…Ginny Weasly, David Gray, and many more. Hailey's name was last…very last and as her name was called off with no last name and a confused look on Dumbledore's face…her face was red as a tomato and her stomach was swarming with butterflies.
As Hailey sat on the stool and got the hat on her head, she spotted Draco in the crowd and sort of just smiled to him. He gave a little wave back.
"Hmmm….this is quite hard, about as hard as Harry Potter was to sort" began the sorting hat. "You have much power, but are very vulnerable…also very unique. Let me think for a moment…as I can see it, you are going to have troubles like Harry, but fit right in. Which of your siblings' team shall place you with?"
At that moment, at those words… "siblings," Dumbledore snatched the sorting hat right of her head. Hailey started to get dizzy and confused. She had no siblings here. Let alone siblings at all…or did she.
"I am sorry for that misunderstanding…I got her mixed up as one of the Weasly children" started the sorting hat, "I shall place her in…." Hailey held her breath "GRIFINNDORE!" finished the sorting hat. The Gryffindor table screamed, but something was confusing Harry and Ron and Hermione…everyone knew that all of the Weasly's got place on Gryffindor, EVERYONE knew that. So why did the sorting hat have such a problem?
