I followed him down the passage way of the train, trying to keep up with him through the crowd of people all wearing black robes now. They were calling for the new First Year students to come away from the rest. I was having a bit of a dilemma then, I wanted to follow the boy but I needed to join the others. Somehow I got turned around the the crowd then and suddenly found myself standing back in front of the train.

I could feel my eye twitch slightly as I gave up, making my way to where the rest of the First Years had gathered.

I pouted the entire way to the castle.

As we were all crowded into a small room my excitement began building up again. It had only barely started even as we had entered the school, my mind had been on the boy from the train too much.

By the time we were to go into the Great Hall I was bouncing from one foot to another doing my best to contain my excitement. An older lady had informed us that once in the Great Hall we were to lined up to the side and wait for our names to be called.

It took forever.

I kept scanning the room for any sign of the boy, but never could find him. Though I did spot Sirius sitting with two other boys. I wrinkled my nose at them even though I knew that wouldn't be able to see it.

Names were being called in slow succession and an awkward child would toddle out of the line to sit on a rickety stool, a ratty old hat plopped on their heads.

Soon there were only 5 of us left in the line.

"Wormwood, Pandora." a scratchy yet feminine voice called.

I held my head high as I marched to the stool, determined not to look like an insecure kid though my insides were doing flips. The woman sat the Hat on my head and I could here it thinking.

"Strange....you are silly and carefree. Hufflepuff would be an obvious choice! Yet...."

I blinked. "What the hell's a Hufflepuff?" I murmured under my breathe.

"Yet..." the Hat continued on as if I hadn't interrupted. "I sense something quite wrong here. You are brave, child, I can tell that. Cunning....you get what ever it is you want...mmmm yes you see to that. I see you use whatever you can to gain your ends yes....But darkness lurks within you...."

I held my breathe, praying to every god I could think of this stupid Hat wouldn't put me in Hufflepuff. I couldn't stand having to say that. Maybe it'd put me in with Sirius. He seemed like an ass, but he was cute.

"SLYTHERIN!"

I was startled as the Hat shouted at the words. A cheer went up from a table decorated in green and silver. I smirked my best smirk as I walked down to the table.

Looking for a place to sit I noticed that only one person hadn't joined in with the cheering.

I seated myself next to the black haired boy from the train..
