Chapter 2
(Miyako's pov)
I watched as the Casson girl was sorted. I sighed as I waited. Having the last name of Wakahisa ensured that you were last in everything, even life, well maybe with life the name had nothing to do with it. Who knows? I glanced around at the tables as I waited. The Gryffindors looked friendly, but they were probaly the type of people who would try to fix or change me. Then there were the Ravenclaws. The smart ones. They probably thought that they were better than everyone else, in fact I knew they did. None of them would even meet my golden eyes. I shuddered as I saw the HufflePuff table. They looked happy and jumpy and hyper. If I was sorted into that house I would promptly throw myself off the astonomy tower. Then the table in the darkest corner caught my eye. The Slytherins. Everyone seemed to hate them for some reason, but as I looked on some of them looked me in the eye. We assessed each other for a few moments then nodded judging each other's worth respectable. That house they would understand me.
Then I noticed that I was the last one standing. "Wakahisa, Miyako," the Smith lady called. I flicked my hair off my shoulder and strode haughtily up to the stool and sat. She set that hat on my head. Then I heard a voice in my head, "Strange girl, with hurt in your past. Interesting." I knew immediately that it was the hat that was in my mind. "Get the hell out of my head!" I growled at it. It chuckled, "Anger, spirit of a rebel, but underneath the hard layers ther-"
"ENOUGH! Just sort me already, for god's sake!" I yelled in my mind. It sighed then said in a loud voice, "SLYTHERIN!" I swore, "Make me deaf why don't you?" I thought to it. I saw the Casson girl look at me sadly. I ignored her and walked over to the table. I went to sit in an empty seat but a boy put his hand there. "Sorry someone is sitting here," he sneered up at me. I put my hand on the side of his head and dug my finger into his skin. Then I threw him off the seat. I sat on his seat. I looked down at him as he tried to recover from bumping his head. "Thank you for giving me your seat. You are such a gentleman."
(Indigo pov)
I sat at the Ravenclaw table trying to maintain the look that I wasn't dying from happiness but failing. Another first year was sitting next to me. She was looking as awestruck as I felt. "Hey," I said looking at her. She blushed and tugged at her long blonde hair. "Hey," she said trying to look me in the eye but getting nervous at the last minute. Aw she's shy, I thought. I continued the conversation, "My name's Indigo," I said smiling at her. "I'm Lucy. I'm muggle born." she said the last bit quickly with a nervous smile. "Cool! My mum and dad are both wizards, but I always thought that it would be cool to come from a muggle family," I said thinking of ipods and electric lights. "Really?" Lucy asked looking relieved. "I was told no one likes muggle borns." Lucy was looking nervously at the Slytherin table. "Oh just ignore them. They don't know what they say," I said as my stomach clenched as I saw Miyako talking to an intimidating black haired boy.
"Great,' Lucy beamed at me. We hit it off right away talking about classes we were taking and teachers we wanted to get. At some point after the main part of the feast students crossed through the hall to mingle with other houses. I told Lucy that I'd be back and went to see how Miyako was doing in Slytherin. Twice I almost turned back but I continued I reached where Miyako was sitting I noticed that she looked ammused at my arrival. "Hey," I said smiling at her trying to ignore the glares of the other Slytherins. When Miyako said nothing but just smirked at me I tugged at my robes trying to draw attenttion away from myself. Then a Ravenclaw prefect came over.
"Hey we're all heading up to the common room, coming?" he asked. I nodded and waved goodbye to Miyako. "See you in class," I the prefect Lucy came over. "Hey ready," she asked.I nodded eager to get to the common room. The other first years were talking amongst themselves as well. So there was a lovely buzz in the air. Finally we reached the common room. Mindy, the prefect, explained that you had to answer a question to get into the common room. This place was amazing but I was too tired to look around too much. So Lucy and I went straight to our dorm. The last thought I had before I fell asleep that night was, so this is Hogwarts.
