The next day, the students had arrived for another year of Hogwarts, while some first years, she supposed, were standing in the front looking confused. She went to go stand with them, mixed feelings and thoughts running through her mind. What if she didn't make it into slytherin? Was Slytherin even a good thing? What if Gryffindor was a good thing? The sorting hat started singing a song about how Hogwarts was peaceful until Slytherin had left. Great….. That made her feel so much better about this. Professor McGonagall was calling out names of first years. Finally, she called Nessa's name.
The hat had barely touched her head when it shouted "SLYTHERIN!" She sighed in relief. She looked over at the teachers table, and saw Professor Snape beaming at her. She grinned at him, and went to sit at the Slytherin table, next to a boy with messy brown hair, and across an other with almost white blonde hair, and cold grey eyes. He had a slight smirk on his face, and two massive bodyguards, well, they looked like his bodyguards considering they followed him around everywhere, cracking their knuckles at any Gryffindor they saw. They started stuffing their faces with food immediately after it magically appeared on their plate. Nessa couldn't keep in the disgusted expression she was wearing now.
"Hello." the brown haired boy greeted her. "I'm Blaise Zabini, those two are Crabbe and Goyle," Blaise said as he gestured at the two very large boys. "And this is Draco Malfoy." The blonde one, Draco, as Blaise had told her, made a face.
"I'm perfectly capable of introducing myself, Zabini, I don't need your help." He remarked coldly. He turned to Nessa, and nodded. "What's your name?"
"I'm Nessa Hemins." She informed the two.
"Nessa." He stated, as if making it official. He smirked at her, and she smiled hesitantly back at him. Draco was actually strikingly handsome. Especially when he flipped his blonde bangs back. It made her insides melt. She didn't know much people there at Hogwarts, but she was definitely going to stick to these four for the majority of the year. It wasn't like she had much of a choice. She couldn't make friends with the Gryffindors, for Snape had made it perfectly clear they were unwelcome as friends, and Harry Potter, their ring leader, as Snape had put it, was nothing but a stuck up show off who is just begging for attention. She sucked in a breath, and let it out in a groan. This was going to be a very long year.
