Brittanie's POV

After disembarking from the carriage, Rachel dragged me into the great hall, demanding that I sit with her at the Slytherin table. Once we were sitting, we were soon joined by her friends. "Everyone, this is Brittanie. Brittanie, this is Severus Snape," she pointed to a boy with pale skin and black hair. His eyes color as his hair. "And that Regulus Black," This time she pointed to a boy that looked similar the Sirius. I assumed they were brothers since they had the same last name. "And this is Bellatrix Black, or Bella. She's Regulus cousin." Rachel now pointed at a girl, with flowing black hair and malicious looking eyes. I felt as if I probably should be scared, but I wasn't.

The four Slytherins began to explain to me about the houses in more detail. When I had received my Hogwarts letter a few weeks ago, it had mentioned that the houses were to be like my family here at the school. Severus, Regulus, Bella, and Rachel explained to me each of the four houses. Gryffindors were said to be the bravest, while Hufflepuffs were the most honest and loyal. Ravenclaws were the cleverest, and the Slytherins were the most cunning. The Gryffindors and Slytherins were long time rivals, although no one was sure when or why the rivalry started. Now the Gryffindors and Slytherins were always striving to do better than the other.

Dinner flew by and before I knew it, I was supposed to be heading to the headmaster's office to get sorted. I waved good-bye to my new friends, and pretended I knew were I was going. I walked around the castle, looking for a sign that said headmaster's office this way. Yes, I knew it was unlikely that they'd have signs. But this place was big. They needed signs, or a tour guide. After about 20 minutes of aimlessly wandering about, I accepted the fact that I was lost. Completely and totally lost.

Luckily, I ran into someone. And I do literally mean ran into. We both ended up falling to the ground. My hair fell into my face, but through it I could see the boy I ran into. He had light brown hair and the most beautiful amber eyes I had ever seen. After a few seconds, I realized neither of us had said a word. "Oh… sorry about that," I said, as the boy stood and offered me his hand. "Thanks," I said, accepting his hand. I tucked my hair behind me ear and smiled at him.

"You have purple eyes," he said, then grimaced, as if he couldn't believe he just said that. It's usually the first thing that people noticed about me.

I just smiled and nodded my head. "Yeah, I'm the only one in my family. Everyone thinks I'm a Metamorphmagus, but I'm really not," I explained, dangerously close to beginning to ramble. I talk needlessly, when I get nervous. Then I realized he might be able to help me. "Maybe you can help me though. I'm supposed to be in Professor Dippet's office and I'm hopelessly lost." I looked at him and put a hopeless look on my face. He'd help me… right?

He smiled, as if amused with me. "You must be the new transfer student. The headmaster's office is this way. I'll show you," he began walking away.

He knew I was the new transfer student? Why would he know that? Did word of my arrival travel that fast? "My name is Brittanie Rose Adams. You know about me?" I asked, running to catch up with him. Once I was next to him, I continued, "Has everyone been talking about me or something?"

He laughed and shook his head. "No, that's not it at all. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Remus Lupin. You met my three best mates on the train, I believe. I am the fourth marauder."

My face lit up with understanding. So this is the fourth marauder. He was cuter than the other ones. "Oh… you're the one that was doing prefect duties while I was getting James in trouble with some red-head. Was that his girlfriend?" I asked, curious about the girl.

He laughed, "He wishes that was his girlfriend. That was Lily Evans. James has been trying to get her to date him since we were first years. All he manages to do is piss her off though. And I'm sure it was his own fault that he got in trouble."

Now it was my turn to laugh. I grinned at him. "Nope, I pushed him down and sat on his lap. If it wasn't for me doing that, she wouldn't be mad at him. So see I did get him in trouble," I said, as Remus came to a stop in front of the stone gargoyle.

He stared at me, almost as if he was in shock. "Well this is the entrance." he turned to the gargoyle and said, "Chocolate Chip Cookies." The gargoyle opened and the staircase was revealed. So I figured the password must be Chocolate Chip Cookies. That is an awesome password. "Professor Dippet's office is just up those stairs. It was nice talking to you, I'll see you around." he said, heading away from me.

I watched him, walk away before remembering that I should thank him. "Thanks, Lupin!" I yelled after him, before hurrying up the staircase.

Before I could knock on Headmaster Dippet's door, I heard a voice call through the door, "No need to knock, just come on it, Miss Adams." I nervously walked in. "I'm sure you saw how this works at dinner, so come here and sit, please."

I nodded and sat down on the stool, near the headmaster. "Hmm…brave and daring like your father, I see. You could do well if Gryffindor, but I see you have a quick wit and always want to learn, like your mother before you. Hmm… very hard to place you, indeed. Yet unlike your parents you are cunning and ambitious. I do believe the best place for you is in…" I took a deep breath as I waited, unsure of the answer. "SLYTHERIN!"

Okay, I could accept that. Rachel and her friends were Slytherins. But the Marauders were Gryffindors. Would they hate me now? I hope not. I did like them, and I kind of wanted them to like me as well. But now that I was a Slytherin maybe they wouldn't. I shook my head at these thoughts. If they didn't like me because of my house, then they weren't good enough to be my friend I decided.

I realized the headmaster was talking to me. "I called Miss Black and she will show you were you will be staying. You'll have to do with out your stuff for tonight, since we didn't know where to put it. But when you wake tomorrow it will be there." I nodded my head. As he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. "Ah… that should be Miss Black now."

Sure enough the door opened and Bella was on the other side of the door. "Brittanie, you're in Slytherin. That's great," I couldn't tell if she was being sarcastic or not. I nodded my head. "Come on, I'll show you to our dormitory. Rachel is there to, although she is probably asleep."

The walk to the Slytherin common room was pretty much silent. Bella seemed okay. Yet she also seemed to be the type of person who would enjoy torturing someone. I silently vowed never to get on her bad side. She showed me into the dormitory and told me the password for the common room, before heading out to continue her rounds. I realized that I was rather exhausted. I stripped down to my panties and bra and crawled into bed. It wasn't long before sleep over took me.

Okay. It's finished. I hope you enjoyed it. Please Review!
