Sephine woke up with a jolt as someone clapped in front of her face. She nearly fell off her chair. "Wha..." she bean drearily. She hadn't gotten much sleep the night before do to her worry about Hogwarts. Fred laughed "Wakey wakey, sleepy head" he said excitedly. She eyed him warily. "We are here? already? But I was only asleep for a moment..." She complained but stood up anyway. Her school robes weren't on yet so she was a little embarrassed. Everyone was ready but her! George grinned at her expression. "You were asleep for a few hours at least! And don't be so nervous." He said lightheartedly. Earning a grumpy scowl from Sephine. He simply grinned. Fred draped an arm around her shoulders and spoke in a very professional tone. "Me and George best be off. See ya later, hopefully you will be sorted into Griffindor!" He said before standing up and grabbing Georges arm. Dragging him from the compartment and walking off. Sephine was suddenly a lot more nervous now that the twins were gone. They had put her at ease. Now she was alone in a strange place she didn't want to come to in the first place. She made sure the door was secure and the window was covered before changing into her school clothes. Her Mary Jane's were a bit annoying in her opinion. She wished she could wear her converse. But she didn't think that was allowed.

She pulled her black hair out of her face with a blue scrunchy and took a deep breath, that came out a little to shaky do to her nerves and slowly exited the compartment and walked towards the exit along with a few other stragglers. A nervous looking first year tripped and fell earning a few laughs. Sephine scowled and stopped by him, helping him up. He gathered his books up and She payed no attention to anyone around them. Knowing that they were the ones that laughed. She detests laughing at people for a simple mistake. Its not funny anyhow, the fall looked like it hurt! The boy looked grateful and rubbed the back of his neck. "Thanks...that was awkward." He said with a nervous laugh. Sephine grinned. "I wont be sad to see this day end." She answered. He laughed and nodded in agreement "I wont be sad to see this year end." He replied sarcastically. Sephine grinned and pulled him along with her. "I'm Sephine Leon by the way." She said realizing she hadn't introduced herself. "Theo Draven at your service." the boy said with a mock bow. Sephine laughed. She studied his appearance. He had long feathery brown hair that ends at the neck and falls into his face. His large blue eyes were rather amazing in Sephines opinion. His face was well proportioned. and in his arms were filled to the brim with books.

He seemed really nice. She saw a large man with a lantern approach. He would be intimidating if a large grin wasn't stretched across his face. Its hard to be afraid when he is obviously really nice. She could tell right away. "Firs' years this way! a'right then! come on ya kids!" he called gathering the kids up and leading them towards a lake. She was rather impressed at his size. "He is huge!" Theo said to her, silently. To polite to say it too loud. She laughed "Bigger than anyone I have ever seen!" She replied. As they watched several riderless boats flout towards them. Lanterns all over like so many fireflies. It was beautiful. Especially seeing the castle in the distance. "woah!" Theo and Sephine said in awe. The giant man turned back towards them and began giving directions for three people to choose boats and sit still. "Keep yer hands in tha boat! And don' lean to far" The man called. She and Theo ended up on a boat with Neville. Who sat as far from Sephine as possible. Not wanting anything to do with her. Theo didn't understand this but simply shrugged and sat between the two.

The ride was peaceful. Except for when a boy fell out of the boat with a splash and had to be rescued by the giant, whom she had learned was named Hagrid and was the grounds keeper. She hid a giggle behind her hand when the boy was taken from the water looking somewhat like a drowned rat. Theo had a small book open. It read 'English to french dictionary' on its cover. She smiled. "Trying to learn french?" She asked curiously. Theo looked up and grinned, nodding in affirmative. "Oui!" he answered cheesily "Hoh hoh hoh!" he said in a deep french accent. Sending both Sephine and Neville into fits of laughter. Neville caught himself though and turned away when he realized he was laughing with Sephine. She couldn't understand really why he seemed so terrified of her. or angry. She couldn't tell which one it was and neither of those guesses made her feel very good.

'His grandmother doesn't seem to like me either. Maybe its just because Bellatrix lestrange is my mother?' she thought with concentration. She was glad when the ride was over. It was a beautiful site but the entire way Neville was silent and pressed as far as possible away from her. Leaning almost so she was afraid he would fall from the boat. Theo was to busy reading and muttering french words every so often to really pay attention or talk to her. So the drive all in all was filled with Awkward silence. It was unnerving. She stepped carefully out of the boat and onto dry land. Walking with hagrid up to the doors. A few students were in a confrontation. She recognized one as Draco malfoy. Standing with his usual arrogance and taunting two boys. One with bright red hair and freckles that looked about ready to hex malfoy and another with Shaggy unruly black hair and round glasses she thought had gone out of style ages ago. Bright green eyes peered through them angrily at Malfoy and on his head was a rather peculiar scar. Shaped like a lightning bolt. The fight was off when the doors opened wide and standing stock still was an older woman with a very stern look on her face. "That's quite enough! I wont have fighting in this school. And Welcome, To hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry; My name is Professor Magonagal. Head of Gryfindor house. Follow me to the Great hall to be sorted." She said. Her voice had a scottish accent and she seemed the type that would take no fussing. She was clearly strict.

Theo looked rather alarmed and frightened the closer they got and whispered to Sephine in a frightened voice. "What if its horrible! and painful and what if I get sorted into...slytherin!" He said with fright. Sephine looked to Theo with sympathy even though she was just as scared. "I heard only Pure blooded wizards go there." she said back. Theo raised an Eyebrow. "I am pure blooded!" he said, now more frightened than before. Sephine was shocked. She herself was full blooded. Bellatrix black would never be with a muggle born or half blood so she could assume she was pure blooded. Not that she cares. She was just surprised. He didn't seem like a pure blood. He actually seemed rather like a muggle born. She was wrong.

As they entered the great hall all eyes were on them. She avoided everyone's gaze. Not wanting to be recognized as a Lestrange, or Black. she was uncomfortable enough as it is. She stood still when they came to a stop. Welcomed by a Tall and regal looking old wizard whom she immediately liked. Proffesor Albus Dumbledor was his name. He was the headmaster. She was slightly less afraid. With a man like this as headmaster. With the kind glint in his twinkling wizened eyes she couldn't imagine the sorting being any kind of dangerous. She doubted he would stand for it. But she was still really nervous. When Dumbledor pointed at the hat and told them it was the 'sorting hat' she was rather shocked. A hat? it was almost laughable if she wasn't sure that the hat was something magical.

The hat came to life, eyes and a mouth appeared and it roared to life. A song sprouting from its lips. Its voice odd but not badly so.

Oh you may not think me pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.

You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
if you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folks use any means
To achieve their ends.

So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!

She clapped along with the rest of the first years and other students and was still nervous, because she wanted to be in the same house as Fred and George and now Theo. It would be hard if she wasn't in the same house as any of them. She waited patiently for her turn. Theos name was called out finally. "Draven, Theo" Magonagal called in her professional tone. She smiled at him and mouthed 'It will be fine' to him. He smiled and walked up to the seat. Sitting and letting the sorting hat be placed on his head. She crossed her fingers that he wouldn't be in slytherin, he was afraid of that. "Ravenclaw!" The sorting hat said almost the second it was placed on his head. The ravenclaw table erupted in clapping and joyful whistles as Theo smiled and took his seat amongst them. Waving at Sephine who gave him a thumbs up. The sorting went well. She was glad yet terrified when it finally called out her name. She walked up to the stool with nervous blue eyes. Her hands holding onto each other and she fought not to simply turn and run. Embarrassed to be the center of attention for the short period of time.

The hat was placed on her head and she waited for it to tell her what house she was destined for. 'Aww...Sephine Leon..or Should I say Black?' Something said from inside her head. She jumped slightly, startled. A few laughs were heard but she was to curious and nervous to care. 'You look like the smart type. Ravenclaw would suite you well...but then again your entire family minus one have been in Slytherin.' It began. She hoped and prayed Slytherin wouldn't be her fate. 'And then their is Gryffindor. You are brave and loyal. You would do well here.' He said before seeming to ponder for a moment. 'You are a hard one to sort. You are different from both your parents though some things are alike.' he continued on..She both wished he would get done with it or he would never sort her and she could go home. The later didn't seem likely.

'Very well then' he said and began to call out a house name. Sephine's heart racing a mile a minute in anticipation.

An:

Cliffy! woooo! Im stumped. I need help with choosing her house. I propose a vote. Post a review with the house you think she should go in. Ravenclaw, slytherin or Gryffindor. One of those three. I am dying for some more reviews!
