I met up with Professor Mcgonagall outside the great hall.

"Ah Miss Malfoy are you ready?" she asked

"yes Professor im ready" i replyed as i watched Draco make his way to the dungens with his friends.

"right well off we go then"

We went up the great stairscase and through curador after cuador. I tried to remember the way but couldn' were way to many twist and turns for me to keep up with. We finally made it in front of a giant gargoyle.

"lemon drops" Professor Mcgonagall said to the gargoyle. When she said it a small staircase started to appear with a twist. I followed Professor Mcgonagall unto the staircase and waited a short while untill it finally stopped twisting. We got off and made our way to the door and knocked.

"come in" i heard

We stepped in to a big room. It must be the headmastors room. It was covered with pictures. I guessed it was previous headmastors of hogwarts. Professor Dumbledor was standing there waiting for us.

"ah Miss Malfoy we've been waiting on you" he said with a smile and twinkle in his eyes.

"hello Professor Dumbledor" i said and smiled back.

"Minerva would you be so kind as to bring me the sorting hat? Miss Malfoy you may take a seat" he said pointing to a empty chair in front of his huge desk. I sat down and waited.

"here you are Headmastor" Professor Mcgonagall said

"Thank you Minerva. are you ready Miss Malfoy?" He asked me.

"Yes sir" i replyed. He placed the sorting hat on my head and we waited.

"ahh another Malfoy i see!" it finally said. Making me jump alittle. "hmm hard chois indeed as you are not a Malfoy by birth but Potter! you have a great mind and a thrive to prove yourself! very cunning to i see! I think you'll be best in. . . "

I waited for its answer still slightly shocked at what it just said.

"Gryffindor!" the sorting hat finally shouted. I couldn't move. I just sat there with my mouth open in shock.

"well congraulations Miss Malfoy!" Dumbledor said breaking the silence

"but wait there must be a mistake! why did it say i wasn't a Malfoy by birth? and why did it say Potter?" i asked.

"im afraid that's a question for your mother and father not me miss malfoy" Dumbledor answered

"please tell me!" i pleaded

"i can't. thats a question only they can answer."

"can i write them before i go to bed please?"

"i dont see why not. it's not curfew quit yet Minerva would you please show her to the owlewery?" Dumbledor asked

"yes Headmaster. please follow me" Professor Mcgonagall said. I got up without saying a word and started following her out of the room. We made our way to the owlery in silence. I couldn't understand why Dumbledor couldn't tell me. And why did the hat say i wasnt a Malfoy but a Potter?

"here we are Miss Malfoy" Professor Mcgonagall said. bringing me out of my thoughts.

"thank you professor"

"your quit welcome. I'll just be waiting out here. Let me know when your finished and i'll show you to the common room"

all i could do was nod. I walked into the owlery and pulled a piece of parchment and quill out of my school bag.

dear Mother

Please don't be to upset but i did not make Slytherin. I made Gryffindor. I know Father is going to be furious. But that is not why im writing you tonight. Something strange happened during my sorting. The hat said i wasn't a Malfoy by birth. What did it mean? Is there something you'r keeping from me? I need answer's and Dumbledor said only you can give them to me. Please write back soon.

love

Haleigh

I thought it'd be best to keep the Potter part out of it for now. I picked one of the owls and tied the letter to its leg. I went to the window and watched it soar into the night sky. I watched it for about five minutes before i made my way back to Professor Mcgonagall.

"ahh Miss Malfoy i take it your ready?"

"yes ma'am"

We made our way back into the castle in silence again. We finally made our way to the seventh floor in front of a painting of a fat lady in a pink dress.

"the password please?" the fat lady said.

"the password is gillyweed" Mcgonagall said.

The painting opened and i could see a Portrait hole. I followed Professor Mcgonagall through and we were in a large sitting room with red chairs and sofa's, a fire place and everything was red and gold. It was still kinda early so there were still people in the common room. Some were chatting to their friends about their summer. Some were playing chess. When the heard the Portrait close behind us.

"can i have your attion please? thank you thank you. This is Miss Haleigh Malfoy and she was just sorted into Gryffindor" Professor Mcgonagall told them.

I could hear everyone whispering.

"did she say Malfoy?"

"a Malfoy was sorted into Gryffindor?"

Professor Mcgonagall cleared her throat "now i expect everyone to treat her as a Gryffindor do i make myself clear?" she said with a very stern look. Everyone just nodded but i could tell i was must cerntenly not welcome here. With that she left.

"I can't believe a Malfoy is in our common room!" i heard someone say. I just rolled my eyes.

Just then i heard the portrait hole open again. Then Harry Potter and his friends came in. Great i thought just what i need. This is going to be fun.

"Harry look! we got a Malfoy in Gryffindor now!" a tall black guy said. As he said this Harry stopped in his tracks.

"stop joking around Dean that isnt funny" Harry told him.

"hes not joking." speaking for the first time since i got there. Harry and his friends looked over at me and gasped.

"NO WAY! THERE HAS TO BE A MASTAKE!" he yelled. I couldn't help but laugh.

"look i don't want to be here anymore then you want me to be here but looks like we're stuck with eachother" i told him.

"just because you were sorted into Gryffindor doesn't make you a Gryffindor! your a Malfoy you will never be a Gryffindor!" Harrys friend Ron said. With that everyone left but one guy.

"don'tpay them any mind. its just your brother. . . well your brother and Harry are kinda enemys and your name isn't well liked. im Neville by the way. Neville Longbottom." he said with a smile.

"yea i heard. Im Haleigh. Haleigh Malfoy. It's nice to meet you" i replyed back.

"oi Neville! are you coming to bed or what?" i heard Ron yell.

"uh yea im coming now!" Neville yelled back.

"wait i dont know where my dormitory is"

"oh just follow the stair to the right and the door will say fourth years on it" he explained

"thank you"

He just nodded and smiled. I made my way up the stairs and found the dormitory. My stuff was already there waiting for me. I pulled on my night clothes and went to bed. This was going to be a interresting year i thought. As i laid there for what seemed like hours i kept thinking about what the sorting hat said. What would my mom say when she got my letter? then i finally drifted off to sleep.
