I sat by the fire, the flames lighting up my face. I wanted so much to be in Slytherin and yet every passing moment I sat in a Black and gold furnished room thinking about what my father would say when he hears what house I got sorted into.

"Ya know, Hufflepuff is a wonderful house", Hannah said, sitting down next to me, "You don't have to be like your brother".

"Go away Mudblood", I growled at her.

"Never mind, maybe you should be in Slytherin!" Hannah yelled and rain up into the girls dormitory.

I hugged my knees and sighed, I was really stuck in Hufflepuff

The tables were filled with warm pancakes, eggs and sausages.  I was surrounded by warm hearted people, they cared about other peoples feelings, I didn't get it. I grew in a family with no sympathy what so ever and these people around me seemed to nice to be true, it was almost frightening. "Go Harry", I heard someone whisper. I spilled my cappuccino all over my robes. I turned in anger to see Harry Potter backing away slowly. I stared at him in disbelief. Did he just bump into me?

I stomped out of the Great Hall, someone was following me, I didn't care though. I was heading down into the dungeons for potions first period. My hair flying behind me, it was cold and windy down here, I was passing Filch. He was scrubbing off words in green letters, it looked like it read : "Slytherins Rock the school and mudbloods should die", Sounds like something Draco would do, I smirked. I would of loved being in Slytherin.

I strutted into the potions classroom, Professor Snape was at his desk writing on a long piece of parchment. I didn't think he noticed me walk in, so I sat down and waited.

"Your 25 minutes early", Snape looked up and my grey eyes met his black cruel ones.

"I know", I replied as Draco walked into the dark room and sat next to me. Snape looked at us like we have gone insane.

"You two look extraordinarily alike", Snape said quietly, "Its a shame your in Hufflepuff, they usually tend to fail my class.

Draco smirked at me, "Well then maybe I can be the smart one now", he smiled feverishly.

"In your dreams", I frowned and went to a table in the middle row. Sitting there, I crossed my arms and sat back, kicking my feet up onto the desk.

"Ms. Malfoy, unless you want to be Filch's twin sister then I suggest you put your feet down this instant", Snape spat at me. I didn't want to be in the Great Hall for long but this was even worse.

Hermione walked into the door way, stopping and looking around, she pulled her wrist up to her eye, a strange piece if metal was wrapped securely around it.

"I'm on time . . . . aren't I?" she asked confused.

I chuckled, "Unless you find 23 minutes early on time then, yes, yes you are on time".

"Good", Hermione looked around the classroom in disgust and sat down in a seat in the front row by the door.

I rolled my eyes, she was probably going to be early to every class.

"I hope your aware that I have a seating chart", Snape flicked his wand and writing appeared on the chalk board, a seating chart. The three of us got out of our seats and went up to the front of the classroom to check where we sat.

(Granger - Brown)  (Malfoy (boy) - Goyle)  (Crabbe -  Bulstrode)  (Weasley - Thomas)  

(Longbottom - Zabini)  (F Carrow - H Carrow)  (Bletchey - Parkinson)  (Malfoy (girl) - Potter)

(Higgs - Pucey)  (Flint - Patil)  (Bole - Robins)  (Dunbar - Pike)  (Wolpert - Peakes)  (Johnson - Spinnet)

The room was starting to fill, people checking the board and sitting in places they didn't want to, some girls made pouty faces and reached to one of their friends. Only a Quarter of the room was filled. Blaise, Crabbe, Goyle and Millicent walked through the door, followed by Potter and Weasley.  I turned my head to the board and watched as the 6 walked up to it.
"Dean, Yes" Said the Weasley boy. Everyone went to their seats except Potter, you could see his face turning red as he stood there, looking at the chalkboard. He finally stepped away, finding his seat next to me.

"You will sit hear the rest of the term, so get used to it", Snape growled, "Does anyone have a problem,. . . . no, good, lets get started".  " Grab ONE cauldron for each desk, you will follow the directions on the board. If you fail to do so then DETENTION Mr. Potter! I looked over at Potter to see him writing notes, writing notes while Snape was talking.
