Chapter Eight-(Michael Creed's PoV)-

I watched as all the first years lined up, the one that was the most interesting was the girl, Calypso. I had been thinking about her outburst ever since we arrived at Hogwarts, I paid little attention to the carriages pulled by bony horses with wings, Zoe said they were Thestrals. There was something about Calypso that made her different then the rest of the students in her year, and I couldn't quite figure it out. She was confident yet worried at the same time I could see it plainly etched on her face. Finally Headmistress McGonagall walked over to the sorting hat with a long roll of paper, the sorting was about to officially begin.


“ Abner, Hilde!” Was the first to be called, a bouncy short girl with rosy cheeks ran up to the sorting hat and promptly put it on, Abner was a Hufflepuff, politely I clapped.” Brocade, Adabas!” A pale, freaked out boy was sorted in to Ravenclaw.” Build, Joanne!” Another Ravenclaw, the sorting wasn't rather interesting.” Creed, Alice.” I was never told my cousin was going to Hogwarts, she said Beaxbatons was were she was going. Alice was a Slytherin, hm, never really liked her. There were a few more C's but still no Gryffindor's most of us were getting anxious.” Dayton, Simon!”


The hat was silent for a bit, obviously pondering were to put the boy. I kept my fingers crossed hoping for our first Gryffindor.” GRYFFINDOR!” The hat shouted. Everyone at my table burst in to clapping the boy was shocked to receive such a greeting. There was another D but I didn't pay much attention that one, I was wondering what Calypso's last name was, she never mentioned it. There were twin Figmuns. Benjamin was sorted in to Hufflepuff, and Jacques was the second Gryffindor. Again our table clapped loudly.


“ Granger-Malfoy, Calypso!” McGonagall next called. I was shocked, Calypso was a Malfoy! But then why did she hate Lucius? A lot of people were staring at the blue eyed girl as she walked to the sorting hat, timidly she placed it on her head. She was there as it thought about were to put her. Zoe was hastily muttering incoherent words in to my ear. More like hissing them actually, I was surprised that I was actually interested in this girl so much. I normally kept to myself and was interested in nothing, for some reason I wanted her to be a Gryffindor.


***Not at Hogwarts.


“ Draco.” Hermione said suddenly, the addressee looked up.” Draco, what house to you think that Calypso is going to be in? Not that I really care, I was just wondering which one.” She had already put down the book she was reading to watch him for any reaction. Draco was silent as he mulled over which one she would be.” I knew it! You didn't know either.” Hermione smirked and returned to her book happily. Draco eyed her warily.


“ I never said I didn't know which one she was going to be in. I was just thinking about which one she was going to be in. Ravenclaw probably, she's smart like you, speaking of which. Why weren't you put in Ravenclaw?” Draco countered, Hermione almost dropped her book in surprise, she stared at Draco for a few moments not quite knowing what to say.” You don't even know why you were put in Gryffindor?” Draco shook his head in disbelief.


“ Oh shut up, I was put in Gryffindor because I was braver then you.” Hermione snapped picking her book back up.” S-sorry, I over reacted.. I don't normally like talking about, well, why I wasn't put in Ravenclaw and in Gryffindor.” She sighed leaning back in to the couch comfortably. Draco nodded in acceptance, deciding not to push it. Then he also resumed reading.


***Zabini Estates. (the day before)


“ Really Elise, did you have to bring Andrew, and did he have to bring his brother and did he have to bring his best friend?” Blaise sighed staring at his sister in amazement.” I was hoping on having some personal time with Pansy you know.” Elise started giggling as Pansy blushed crimson.” I mean, never mind. I don't really have time for this.”


“ I brought Andrew because he's my boyfriend and I'm living here, Michael wasn't allowed to stay home alone and Zoe was staying or playing with Michael, don't over react Blaise. Andy and I will be in my room and the kids can play out side.” Elise punched her older brother playfully then headed out of the door. Suddenly the door was burst open and laughter echoed through out the house.


“ Oh.. Sorry didn't mean to intrude, come on Mickey let's go outside.” A tall blonde girl giggled when she saw Blaise, for some reason Blaise thought she looked slightly familiar.” Right-o let's go-Hey wait aren't you Pansy Parkinson?” She asked looking at Pansy who was sitting on a couch, Pansy nodded suspicious slightly.” AWESOME! Your my role model!” Blonde shouted.


“ Uh.. Zoe let's go outside. Please.” Mickey or Michael looked like he was about to die of embarrassment. Pansy had started to laugh.” Seriously Z, what ever possessed you to say such a thing?” Michael shook his head in amazement after they arrived outside.” I sure hope that she's not your role model, I've heard really freaky things about her. And plus what would it do the family name, Being a giggling maniac obsessing girl? I mean your a Swift! Your second cousin is a famous singer.”


“ Ooh. Your just jealous that I won't be obsessing over you Mickey aren't you.” Zoe giggled again, Michael rolled his eyes in annoyance.” I wonder why you even bother to talk or put up with me, I mean I'm a absolute idiot, annoying and your like some sort of worshiped genius.” Zoe had a strange way of changing the subject and her mood Michael noticed.” What ever. HEY LOOK A SWING SET! I love swings.” And with that they were both swinging happily. Or semi-happy..


***Back at Hogwarts current time. Calypso Granger-Malfoy's PoV


“ Ah, Granger-Malfoy.. But.. Not Granger-Malfoy. I have not seen one of your kind for a long, long time.” The hat thought slyly, I was utterly confused as to what it was talking about.” You show the qualities of a Gryffindor, yet your courage seems to falter sometimes. No, no, not a Gryffindor. But your wisdom will shine beyond anything with the powers you posses, a good Ravenclaw, yet that's not your place. You don't have the heart of a Hufflepuff, you are kind, but not in that way. Yet your cunning like a Slytherin, but not exactly Slytherin.”


“ I don't want to be in Slytherin, I don't care if my daddy was one, I don't want to be Slytherin! Lucius is one.” I whispered scared, I would rather drop out of Hogwarts then be a Slytherin, plus I'm a muggleborn despite what people think.” I want to be Gryffindor. Make me Gryffindor.” I demanded, the hat was almost laughing at me for this. It said/thought something about showing my true Gryffindor side. I again was bemused.


“ Well if you demand it Miss Granger-Malfoy.” I was on thin ice and I knew it, maybe I misunderstood it but.” GRYFFINDOR!” YES! YES! I was so happy I almost shouted, yet my happiness didn't show on my face I almost ripped the stupid hat off my head and bounded for the Gryffindor table, I couldn't believe how lucky was, somehow I found myself sitting next to Michael Creed, from the train. I wondered how I ended up next to him.


“ Congratulations on joining Gryffindor, Miss Granger-Malfoy.” A girl with a silvery sheet of long blonde hair smiled warmly at me.” I'm a prefect, Gabrielle Delacour, pleasure to meet you. I believe I have met your mother.” Mother?! She met-Oh yea, Hermione. How could she have met Hermione? Weird person.” Hermione Granger is it not? Her best friends Ronald Weasley and Ginny Weasley oldest brother married my sister Fleur.” Weasley! But Ginny's Potter not Weasley, at least now.


“ Oh. That's, that's charming. But Hermione's only my adopted parent, my real ones are dead.” I said bluntly, deciding that maybe she wasn't someone to be friends with, ha! I didn't want friends despite what I told my dad. I noticed that Michael was watching me, oh great.” Er, hey Zoe, Michael.” I decided to talk with them because Zoe looked ready to burst with holding words and other things, her expression now was like Christmas came early.


“ Hiya Calypso! I never knew you were a Malfoy, why do you hate Lucius Malfoy so much? Isn't he like some sort of grandfather to you or something? I mean, sometimes people hate each other even when there family, but not normally. How can you be a Malfoy if your mom's Hermione Granger? Did she marry.. Uh, what's his name! Oh yea, did she marry Draco Malfoy?!” Zoe said in one breath, speed talking as usual. Calypso just stared at her in shock at how someone could think that much or say that much that fast.


“ Shut up the both of you ladies.” This directed at Zoe and Gabrielle I could tell, fortunately not me.“ Welcome to Gryffindor Calypso, I hope you enjoy it. And you don't have to answer a single question that Zoe asks, because all she can do is ask questions.” Michael rolled his eyes at Zoe who glared at him.” Also, if you've heard things like that Gryffindor's automatically hate Slytherin's.. It's so not true. I have a friend in that house.”


(and now the romance REALLY starts, well in the next chapter kinda. I originally intended to this to be about D/Hr but I changed my mind)
