A couple of days had gone by since that night in the forbidden forest. In the beginning everyone asked where I had been, but I refused to tell them. But they've finally stopped asking, probably because they know I wont tell them anything. I'm in the library right now, It's not very often I'm here, but I have to get some fact about dragons, since that's the first task. I haven't found any useful info yet, and I've been here for hours! Ugh. I put the useless books back in a bookshelf, grabbed my stuff and walked out of the library. What am I gonna do? The tasks is in just a few days and I don't know a thing about dragons! I shook my head and decided to stop thinking about that, as I walked back towards the common room so I could leave my stuff in my dorm.
- Uh.. Lexi? Someone said from behind, and I recognized the voice. It was Neville.
- Yes, what is it? I asked when I had turned around.
- D-Dumbledore wants to meet you in his o-office.. He stuttered. Was he nervous or something? Well, it was cute though.
- Okay, thanks Neville. I smiled at him before I started walking towards Dumbledore's office.
I already new the password, so I walked up the stairs and went into his office. He wasn't there, so I sat down in one of the chairs and waited for him. It didn't take long until he was back, but first I didn't notice, so I jumped up a little when he spoke.
- Aah, miss Lestrange. I need to talk about something rather important with you. He said with a calm voice.
- Oh.. Okey.. I said, a bit nervous.
- First.. About the mark on your arm. My eyes widened. How did he know?
- Calm down, nothing to be worried about. He said when he saw my reaction.
- I can explain! Please don't expell me! I kind of yelled as I panicked.
- No need to, I already know.
- Now to the other thing I wanted to talk about. He said as he stood up and grabbed a hat. I was a bit confused.
- Me and all the other professors have agreed on letting you get re-sorted, if you need to. We've suspected it for a while, but we haven't been really sure about it. That's why we need the sorting hat. He said and walked over to me.
- What? What do you mean I'll be re-sorted? I panicked, with my eyes still wide open.
- We believe that you'll have to switch houses. He said as he put the hat on my head before I could protest.
- Well, well, well, we meet again Miss Lestrange. The sorting hat said quietly, before it continued.
- They think you have to be re-sorted, huh? Well, it isn't a bad idea, I always new that you'd match in two houses. You'll change a lot eventually.. Maybe.. Hmm.. Yes, yes, you'll be switched to another house. It's for you own good. The hat said, and took a pause.
- The house you'll switch to must be... SLYTHERIN! The hat shouted, and Dumbledore took the hat off of my head, and walked over to his desk.
- What? But I.. I can't be re-sorted! Why am I being re-sorted? I yelled as I stood up and walked over to Dumbledore.
- Like the hat said, you match in two houses, but all of the teachers think that you're more suited to be in Slytherin. He explained calmly.
- But all my friends are in Gryffindor, what am I gonna say to them?
- Only you can decide what to tell them, and what to not tell them. Now, go pack your stuff and take it to the Slytherin common room.
I stood there and stared at him, with no expression on my face. I grabbed my stuff and walked down the stairs, and to the Gryffindor common room. What am I gonna tell them? That I'm being re-sorted into the house that they hate the most? I don't know anyone in Slytherin, well, except Draco and Blaise. What will the slytherins think about me? The questions flew around in my head, as I walked to my and Hermione's dorm. I grabbed my trunk and lifted it up to my bed. I walked over to the big brown wardrobe and pulled out all of my clothes and threw them on the bed. Then I heard the door open.
- What are you doing? Hermione asked, kind of confused.
- I'm packing my stuff. I said simply.
- Why? Did you get expelled? Lexi, I'm gonna kill you if you got expelled! How am I gonna survive here without my best friend?
- Calm down, I didn't get expelled!
- Well then, where are you going?
- ... The slytherin common room.
- WHAT? WHY? LEXI, WHAT IS IT THAT YOU HAVEN'T TOLD ME? She was furious, you could see and hear that clearly. She yelled as loud as she could, and her face was red because of the anger.
- I haven't been able to tell you anything, since I just found out about it.
- About what? She had calmed down a little, but she was still angry. I hope that she won't hate me..
- Hermione, I'm.. I'm switching to slytherin. Dumbledore told me that, like, ten minutes ago. I said. I saw a teardrop fall from her eye, and before I knew it she was hugging me so hard that I barely could breath.
- N-no! Why? Why are they doing this? You're nothing like them! Why? She said as she sobbed, still hugging me tightly.
- I don't know.. The sorting hat said something about that I'll change a lot eventually, and Dumbledore told me that all of the professors think that I'm better suited as a slytherin. I still don't understand though.
We talked about many things and she sat on my bed as I packed my stuff. When I was done I hugged her one more time.
- Best friends no matter what? I whispered in her ear when I hugged her.
- Of course! She whispered back and we broke the hug.
I grabbed my trunk and I was going to open the door, but Hermione was faster than me. She held it open so I could walk out of the room, and I walked down the stairs. I walked over to the portrait hole and looked back at Hermione before I walked out. Many things was gonna change now, I know that. And what will everyone else think about this? I sighed and walked towards my new house. Slytherin.
