Chapter One- Arriving at Hogwarts
So Hogwarts wasn’t quite what I had expected it to be. True it was pretty… And big. Very big. Even for a fifth year but at first, it just didn’t feel, well right. Number one, the only person I knew was my cousin, Leminerva and she was never around anyway and number two, I didn’t know how I was supposed to react to being sorted into Slytherin. I’d heard rumours, not that I am subject to believe such tales, that Slytherin was supposed to be the evil house and that just made me think people were going to be prejudice. I didn’t want that. I’m not evil. Well not entirely anyway…..
Anyway where was I? I think the first person I met when I came here was Ella, although I initially didn’t know what to make of her. We didn’t make the greatest of starts and sure we are absolutely fine now, but back then insults were being thrown here and there and well, everywhere. Especially once we found out we were actually related. That reminds me of another family member I met before actually arriving in Hogwarts. Little Emma Malfoy. It had been years since we last saw each other so it was pleasant to finally have a little family reunion. And that also meant that I had someone else I knew within the castle walls. Just three people though? Seemed as if my popularity was going to be extremely minimal that term. Didn’t take long until I had muscled my way into some major drama though. It wasn’t my fault. Honestly. Just the guys at Hogwarts are too good looking for their own good.
Before I had even got through the gates of the school, I had already argued with more then one person. It wasn’t MY problem that me and Ella seemed to be related, cousins in fact. I didn’t have it planned all along. Heck I didn’t even know until she mentioned the name. But there was nothing we could do about that anyway so there was no point continuing on that debate. And my suitcase was far too heavy for me to lift. If someone had offered to have taken it from me it wouldn’t have landed on Patrick’s foot would it? Pfft…. Some people just like to over dramatise things. So I entered Hogwarts in not exactly the greatest of moods. Okay I was in tears but I hated being shouted at back then when I knew like no one. And he WAS a 7th year, I was only a 5th. But things progressed quickly, he forgave me, like I would do later that year and I ended up engaged in some conversation about Quidditch with Emma and her first year friends. It was around the time that I met Vanessa as well who I honestly thought was in some kind of relationship with Mr Dramatic himself. But I was surprised to find she was a Gryffindor whilst Pat, Ella, Emma and I had all been placed in the shifty house.
I never thought of myself as a Slytherin. To be honest I didn’t know a lot about the houses, apart from the petty rumours that I’d heard on occasions. But as I’ve gone through my school year, I found out I’m more of a Slytherin then I had initially thought. In fact, I really don’t think it’s right for me to be sorted into another house. I wouldn’t belong there. If I was to ask someone that truly knew me well what traits best described me, then I bet one of the first things they would come out with were either “sarcastic” or “self centred” the latter of which I find hard to believe. So I was more at home in Slytherin then I am anywhere else. And do you know what....?
I love it!
