Disclaimer: I don't own harry potter. JkR does and she better write more!!!! I DO OWN THE PLOT AND ALL OC AND MY AWESOME PROPHECY!!!! YAY!!! Oh, I accidently hit caps lock. Opps! sorry!

A/N: Thx for all the reviews! Now I want 10. I know you want to know what happens at the Sorting (even though I gave out tons of spoilers), but you're gonna have to wait a little longer. This chapter is all about Elena. It happens around the same time as the last one.

Elena Rincloff was staring out the window of her compartment on the Hogwarts Express and sighed. She was really bored and lonely. I mean, there were, like at least four other people sitting with her, but she didn't know any of them. They were just sitting with her because her dad was like, a billionaire.

The people that were sitting with her were all shoo-ins for Slytherin, all from pureblood rich families (not as rich as hers, though). They all said she was too. But was she?

Elena was sure. She thought about her life. Her dad was from a long line of Slytherins, but her mom hadn't even gone to Hogwarts. She had gone to someplace called Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, which was in France. Apparently, even though Elena looked so much like her father, she had inherited her mother's fiery French nature. She didn't stand for anything unjust or wrong. Elena loved to read and learn. She treated everyone fairly, even her house elves.

She thought of the house traits. Slytherin was supposed to be full a purebloods and had the worst reputation of all. She certainly had the pedigree for Slytherin but she wasn't sure if she wanted to be in the most hated of all houses. If the people sitting with her were any indication of Slytherins, she really didn't want to be in it. They were all two-faced kissups that were way too snobby.

Ravenclaw was for the smart curious types. She fit into that too. But as much as she loved reading, she loved to actually do stuff, whether it was flying or playing games.

Hufflepuff was the house that was for the caring people. She fit in there too. But according to these people, it was where all the leftover people went. She didn't want to be a leftover. She was a Rincloff!

Finally, there was Gryffindor. The most famous house, the house of heroes. The house for the brave, noble, daring people. It was the enemy of Slytherin. The house of the lion. So many famous people had come from Gryffindor. Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Kingsley Shacklebolt (the Minister of Magic), Minerva McGonagall (headmistress of Hogwarts). She fit into this house too.

Elena always charged into things head first, not pausing to evaluate the situation first. Once she heard a cat up the tree proceeding to climb it and fall off, not even noticing there was a ladder nearby. And when she was at the top, there was no cat. It had been on the ground.

Elena thought about her friends back at home. None of them were going here. Lea was going to Beauxbatons and Mia was a year younger than she was. Her other friends Katie and Macy were muggles (she had a feeling Macy might be muggleborn; she'd have to wait and see if Macy got the letter next year when she turned 11). So she'd have to make some new ones. No one from this compartment though.

"Are you gonna get up?" A girl asked her. Elena stopped daydreaming and realized that they were at Hogwarts.

"Yeah." Elena replied. She grabbed her stuff and walked toward the door. She moved into the giant wave of students pouring out of the train. It was chaos. It was dark out and she couldn't see much.

"Firs' years! Over here!" A voice called. Elena looked up to see the largest man she'd ever seen. She moved toward him and sat down in one of the empty boats, near him.

A group of three kids were making their way over here, laughing and joking all the way. One had pale blond hair and silver eyes. Others were staring at him with intense hatred. She wondered who he was. The second was a girl with fiery red hair and blue eyes. She was talking animatedly with the blond hair and another boy. It was this boy that made Elena catch her breath. He had piercing green eyes and messy black hair. When she saw him, her heart did a flip. She decided to get to know him.

They stopped to talk to the huge man, at least the girl and the green-eyed boy did. The blond one looked awkward.

"Hey, Hagrid!" The girl said cheerfully.

So that's the big guy's name, Elena thought.

"Hullo Rose, Albus." Hagrid said. "Who's your friend?"

"I'm Scorpius." The blond boy said, looking like he was afraid that Hagrid would hate him.

There was a look of shock on Hagrid's face, but after a minute, he covered it up.

"Aren't you a Malfoy?" Hagrid asked, surprised. Scorpius nodded.

Elena had heard of the Malfoy's apparently they were hated on both sides. She wondered why.

"Never thought I'd live to see a Malfoy friends with a Potter and a Weasley." Hagrid said quietly.

"What's wrong with him being a Malfoy? Your name doesn't make you who you are. I mean none of us was here for the war, none of us did anything. Our parents did. And every expects the same of us. It's not fair!" The girl, Rose said passionately.

Elena realized that the boy must be the son of Harry Potter. But that didn't make her feel different. He was just another person. She'd defiantly talk to him later. She had a feeling he'd know what it was like to have people's expectations weighing you down.

The three kids sat down in the boat with her. They didn't notice Elena, mostly because she was very quiet and it was pitch black out. They chatted pleasantly until they saw Hogwarts. It was so beautiful. Elena couldn't be happier that she was going to live there.
