Chapter 3: Gryffindor, Slytherin, and a boy's mission for a smile.
The Great Hall was larger than Teddy expected as he looked around, students were staring back at him with a look of excitement, Zyla stood next to him as the other first years approached the raised portion of the floor where an old looking hat and a stool sat. The hat sang its normal song since the war had ended; it sung of happiness and co-existence between the houses and how nessicary it is. The students were called alphabetically. Teddy stood anxiously as Professor Longbottom got closer to his name, he turned to Zyla, who merely looked calm and collected, "How can you be so calm all the time? Isn't life boring that way?" he whispered in her ear. Zyla turned to Teddy, "I don't know, I just am, and yes it is quite boring." She whispered back, her voice in that scary hissing tone again. Teddy fought the urge to shudder and looked back at the stool, "Lupin, Teddy." The professor called, a smile lightened his face when he saw the name, Teddy quickly walked over and promptly sat down on the chair, the hat fell into place on his head, "hmmm, quick mind, good for Ravenclaw, lots of Friendship and loyalty in here as well, much like your mother aren't you? Hufflepuff is a good choice as well, but your bravery far exceeds the rest, raised by a Weasley or Potter boy?" the hat mused. "Y-Yes sir, Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley-Potter sir." Teddy replied quietly. "Your father was a Gryffindor was he not? Yes I see a good portion of him in you as well, you like a bit of adventure?"
"Haha Yes, for sure sir!" Teddy replied starting to relax quite a bit. "All right then I know the house for you…" the hat said, "GRYFFINDOR!" it bellowed, Teddy smiled and took off the hat and ran down to the Red and Gold table the was cheering the loudest. "Zyla Malfoy!" was the next name called, Teddy looked up at his best friend, she walked calmly to the stool and placed the hat on her head.
"Oh my, your mind is quite familiar to me Deary, are you by chance related to a Riddle?" the hat asked Zyla who firmly replied, "No, my father is Lucius Malfoy, my mother is Narcissa Malfoy. I don't know of any Riddle by name or blood." "Alrightly then, well Slytherin blood is pure in your veins and you seem quite ambitious, well your house better be….SLYTHERIN!" the hat bellowed Zyla pulled the hat off and quickly made her way to the table on the opposite end of the hall from Teddy, Zyla's hopes of being in the same house as Teddy saddened her a little when she found out her best friend was in the enemy house. "We can still be friends, we'll find ways to hang out." She mused allowed.
Teddy pouted when he saw his best friend walk away from him toward the Green and Silver table to sit with his opposing classmates. His hair darkened in color as he thought about what she had said on the train, "We can't be close if we're in different houses." He spoke quietly remembering her depressing words.
The next day Zyla woke early and sat in her emerald bed, pondering what the hat had said about her blood and parentage. "Riddle….hmmm, I should write Draco knows someone by that name." she said pulling out a quill and a piece of parchment and a bottle of black ink.
Draco,
So far, I'm enjoying Hogwarts, I've made a friend, he's quite funny and nice, his name is Teddy Lupin, he's a Metamorphmagus like his mum. He's like that Harry Potter bloke you pointed out to me in the train station, his parents died when he was a baby. Unfortunately he's in Gryffindor, I'm in Slytherin, but I think we can still be great friends. When I was sorted, that bloody hat asked me if I was related to anyone by the name of Riddle, I told him that I was Malfoy through and through but he didn't seem to believe me so I thought I'd ask, is there anyone with the last name of Riddle in our family D?
More letters to come; your darling sister
ZylaBell
After sending the letter off with her owl, Scorpio, Zyla stretched and got up to get dressed to head down to breakfast.
Teddy awoke that morning with one thought in his mind, Write Uncle Harry. And that he did,
Uncle Harry,
Hogwarts is so much cooler than you described! You made me promise to write, so here it is, I'm in Gryffindor! And I made a friend; do you remember that girl you pointed out to me in the station? Well that's my friend. Her name is Zyla Malfoy, and although she didn't warm up to me right away, we've become the best of friends. She doesn't smile much, but I've made it my personal mission to make sure she smiles a genuine smile sometime in the school year. She's in Slytherin, but I think we can still maintain our friendship.
Wishing you and the family well
Teddy
Teddy smiled as he reread the letter before sending it. He stood up and called to his owl from the window, a beautiful golden barn owl entered the room, "Prongs, can you take this to Uncle Harry? Yeah there's a good boy" he said as he tied the letter to the owl's leg and let it go. Teddy went back to his trunk and got dressed for school and headed down the great hall for breakfast.
