We arrived at Hogwarts in the night and we need to ride a boat to get there. As soon as I was wondering who should i hitch a ride with since Hermione and the others' boat is already full, someone called me. "Oi, Rose! Rose! Elizabeth!" Just when that someone called my first name, i turned around and saw Draco waving at me, smiling cheerfully. I made my way towards him and step into rhe boat." Turns out, I can survive without the need of you to babysit me" Draco said, smirking at me. I rolled my eyes and asked him " Where were you just now?". " I sat in the front. Where did you sit?" He asked. I immedietly gulped as I know if he knows I sit with Hermione, who is a muggleborn, he will criticize me and Hermione so I said, "I don't know who it was, I just sat there and read a book". 'Just to be safe' i thought. He scoffed and said, " Fine, but if I found out you sat with a mudblood or a blood traitor, I'll-" he was cut of by me, " Yes, yes, you will inform your father about it. Jeez, Draco you couldn't shut up about it, can't you? I know what I'm doing, don't worry" i said and rolled my eyes. He laughed," Yup, that's right." I scoffed and rolled my eyes again. When we reached in front of a big door, I was busy looking around until I heard Draco's voice and realised he's not beside me anymore. "So it's true what they say on the train, Harry Potter is back" i immedietly looked up to the voice as I have a keen sense of hearing. Though it's obvious to hear his loud voice. "This is Crabbe and Goyle. And I'm Draco. Draco Malfoy" Ron snickered. Draco immedietly looked at him. "Think my name's funny do you? Let me guess, red hair and a hand-me-down robe, you must be a Weasley." I quickly shove my way to get to Draco and asked him to stop when I heard Harry said, " I think I can tell the wrong sort myself, thanks". I was a bit grateful that they didn't got into a fight or something. I quickly streched my hand to pull Draco and nag at him. "Sorry 'bout that. My cousin can be slightly annoying sometimes" i said with a concerned look on my face." It's okay" Harry and Ron said in unison. "Tryna flirt with my cousin,eh, Potter, Weasley? Let me tell you something, after what happen just now, don't even think of flirting with her!" Draco said with a mad look on his face. I know he might explode any time now, so I pulled him to the back and try to convince him that nothing is going on between the three of us. Suddenly, an old woman dressed in dark green dress and a pointed hat showed up and lead us into a hall called The Great Hall. With so many lights shining here and there, I find it funny looking at Draco's hair as it made his forehead looks broad. I giggled. "What? Anything on my face?" He asked while touching his face to make sure there's nothing on it. "No, nothing, nothing at all" i said while trying to hold back my laughter. "Fine. I'll found out soon enough" he smirked and rolled his eyes at me. After a few speech from the headmaster, Professor Albus Dumbledore, it is now the time to sort us into our houses."Granger,Hermione" said the old woman which I found out the name's Professor Minerva McGonagall. Hermione step up and later on the Sorting Hat yelled, " GRYFFINDOR!!!" Hermione, looking very happy, took her seat at the Gryffindor table. "Malfoy, Draco". I wished him good luck as he walked to the stool to be sorted. The hat hadn't even touch his head when it yelled out, "SLYTHERIN!!!" He smirked and fist bumped me while walking towards the clapping table of Slytherin. A few name passed and I suddenly heard my name bsing called, " Oh we have another Malfoy here. Very well then. Malfoy, Elizabeth." I stepped up to the stool and as I was walking, I can hear whispers about me not looking like a Malfoy at all. But I ignored it of course. " Ah, what do we have here... oh, interesting, a mind like a Ravenclaw, loyalty like a Hufflepuff, bravery like a Griffyndor, and ambitious like a Slytherin. Oh, and a pure-blood too.Now, this is a though choice..hurm.." the Sorting Hat murmured to itself. I made my look to Draco. He was mouthing a 'good luck' to me. I grinned at him. " Well, what do you think sorts you the best, young one?" The Sorting Hat asked me. " Anything that's the best for me" i said confidently. "Oh, okay then... hurm....I guess you'll be in..... SLYTHERIN!!!" It shouted. I smiled, relieved. 'At least I have Draco over there with me.' I thought to myself. As I made my way to the Slytherin table, I can see Hermione, Harry and Ron smiled at me eventhough they wished I was in Gryffindor. I smiled back at them and sat in frong of Draco. "Nice, we're still together". He fist bumped me again. I laughed and we chatted with the other Slytherin. I quickly made friends with a blonde-haired girl named Daphne Greengrass. She's a rather cute girl, I must say. After that, we were brought to the dungeons where our common room and dorm will be. We found out that the password of the common room is 'Pure-blood'. As soon as we made our way in, wd could see the water from the Black Lake lapping against the window. We soon need to go and sleep. I found out that I will be sharing a room with Daphne and this other girl I don't really like named Pansy Parkinson. I have a feeling that she has been hitting om Draco but I ignored it. Before going to our dorm, we were provided with a schedule on what class we will have. And I managed to bring myself to tell Draco, " Make sure I don't need to wake you up tomorrow 'cus I won't!" I smiled cheekily as I noticed Pansy Parkinson scoffed at our noticeable relationship. Draco laughed, " Yeah right, thanks a lot, Mother!" We both laughed and went straight to our dorms. As soon as I landed myself on the bed, Pansy asked me about myy relationship with Draco." May I ask you something? Hold on, I don't need to ask, but what is it got to do with you and Dracy??". I nearly coughed. 'Dracy? Oh my god, wait 'till Draco knows about this'. "Well, I am Draco's cousin which is later brought in as his adoptive sister. And our relationship is nothing more than just a normal brother and sister relationship." I said, trying to convince her. "Adoptive sister? Oh yeah right, you're the Misfit Girl." She said. Daphne and I shared confused glances. "Oh youu don't know, what a pity. Everyone starts calling you that 'cus.." she stopped and eyed my hair. "Well, you don't look like a Malfoy at all." At that moment, Daphne snapped and she looked like she could swallow Pansy whole into her mouth! Just when she's about to say something, I stood up and hold her hand. She looked at me and said, " But Rosie.." I convinced her everything's okay and that she just need to relax. When I unpacked my things, Pansy said" Yeah, definetely, you are not a Malfoy". I literally snapped and said, " Well what proof do you have to prove me not being a true Malfoy? You know what, you better keep your mouth shut 'cus I know you like my brother, Draco and if he finds out you talking to me like this, I'm sure he'll never like you all the way until our final year." I threathened her. She felt challenged, but. Decide to keep quite about it and immedietly went into the bathroom. Daphne came to me and said, " Just ignore her, she didn't deserve your attention anyways. Besides, great job there! Really are a true Slytherin" she winked at me and we laughed. When I finally get the chance to sleep, I thought to myself, 'great job having an enemy on the first day in Hogwarts' and after that I finally fall into a deep sleep.
