Harry's Twin Sister (Draco Malfoy love story Harry Potter Fanfic)

Arriving At Hogwarts And The Sorting Ceremony

After I left Draco's compartment, I caught up with Harry and Ron just after they exited the train. "Hey Rose , where did you go?, we haven't seen you for almost the entire train ride." Harry asked me. "I was catching up with some friends." I told him. "That's great Rose,can you believe we're finally at Hogwarts, isn't it wonderful!" Harry exclaimed joyfully. "Yes, it really is wonderful Harry." I replied. A few seconds later we heard a familiar voice say "First years, this way!" Harry and I looked excitedly at one another and ran towards the voice, with Ron running after us.  There standing tall in front of a group of first years was none other than Hagrid. "Hello Hagrid." Harry and I greeted him in unison. Ron just gaped at Hagrid and how tall he was and said "whoa!" in amazement. "Hello Harry, Rose." Hagrid greeted us back. After that Hagrid led all the first years to a large lake with water so dark, you couldn't see anything below the surface. there were a bunch of row boats with lanterns attached. Hagrid told all of us to climb into the boats, with four kids per boat. Harry, Ron, Hermione and I climbed into a boat together. Hagrid had one boat all to himself because he was so big. The boats floated by themselves. All the boats started floating onward with Hagrid's boat in front , towards Hogwarts school. After a few minutes Hogwarts came insight. It was an Incredibly beautiful sight. The School was a magnificent castle surrounded by mountains, rocks and trees.It was truly breath taking. Hagrid brought all the boats towards the edge of the lake, where they came to a stop. We exited the boats and Hagrid led  us to the castle doors, There he instructed us to wait. He knocked on the doors and a few seconds later a strict looking woman, with a tight bun, glasses , a pointy hat and a long green robe opened the door. "Here they are professor McGonagall." Hagrid told the strict looking woman. "Thank you Hagrid, I can take it from here." The woman told Hagrid and instructed us to follow her. she led us into the castle and down a hall, to a set of double doors where she brought us to a stop. The castle was even more beautiful inside than outside. After we came to a stop in front of the double doors she turned to us and addressed us. "Welcome to Hogwarts First years, in a few minutes you will pass through these doors and be sorted into your houses. There are four houses in total, they are Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin. I trust that you will be an asset to whichever house you are sorted into. while here at Hogwarts your house will be like your family, you will attend classes with your housemates, sleep in the dormitories with them and spend most of your fee time in your house common room." Right in the middle of McGonagall's speech, a boy spotted a toad near McGonagall and yelled "Trevor!" He ran forward and picked it up. McGonagall looked furious at being interrupted. "Sorry" The boy whom I assume was Neville apologised. McGonagall just shook her head and continued."Your merits will earn you house points and any rule breaking and you will lose points, and at the end of the year the house with the most points will be awarded the house cup. I shall go see if they are ready for you yet. Wait here and try to smarten yourselves up a bit while you wait." She said and then she went into the hall and closed the doors behind her. many of the kids straightened their robes and fixed their hair , others chatted amongst themselves, until a familiar voice arrogantly said "It's true then what they were saying on the train, Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts." Kids started to whisper upon hearing Harry's name. The crowd parted to reveal the person the voice belonged to, to be none other than my friend Draco Malfoy. Draco followed by two burly boys who I have never seen before came over to Harry, Ron and I. Draco introduced the two boys and then himself quite arrogantly to Harry." This here is Crab and Goyle, and I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." Ron started to snigger at his name, which made Draco angry. "That wasn't very nice Ron."I told him, but before Ron could reply Draco said "Think my name's funny do you? No need to ask yours, red hair and a hand me down robe, you must be a Weasley." Draco said with disgust. I could tell that he hurt Ron's feelings. I get that it isn't very nice to laugh at someone's name, but I think Ron actually laughed more at the manner in which Draco introduced himself to Harry, with such a pompous attitude, like he was the king of the wizard world and it is an honor just for him to introduce himself to Harry, than his name, though his name is a bit funny. I couldn't understand why Draco, who was so sweet and polite to me would act like this. I was seeing a side of Draco I did not like at all. " That was unnecessarily mean and rude Draco. All Ron did was laugh at your name, though that is not very nice, and I think that he was actually laughing at the pompous way you were introducing yourself, there is no need to be that mean and look down on his family. " I reprimanded him. " Draco just looked at me, but didn't reply.  He then turned his attention back to Harry and said. " You'll soon find out that some wizarding  families are better than others Potter, you don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort." Draco said and threw a nasty glance at Ron. " That goes for you as well Rose." Draco said kindly turning to me."I can help you both there." Draco said arrogantly extending his hands towards Harry and I for us to shake. I scoffed and looked incredulously at Draco. "No thanks, if the wright sort are all arrogant pigs like you, I'm  happy to be friends with the wrong sort then. I don't know what has gotten into you Draco, but I don't like this side of you one bit. Talk to be again when you're ready to apologise and explain to me what happened to the Draco I met in the bookshop, because that is the Draco that is my friend not this arrogant toe rag in front of me." I told Draco as an answer. Harry and Ron looked impressed. Draco looked like I slapped him in the face. He turned to Harry waiting for his answer. Harry looked at his still extended hand and then back up at him and said." I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself thanks." Draco looked furious, but before he could say anything professor McGonagall returned and tapped him on the shoulder with a rolled up piece of parchment. He quickly returned to his spot. "They're ready for you now." professor McGonagall announced, and gestured for us to follow her. We followed her through the double doors into a massive hall with four long tables with an isle in the middle. each table is filled with students wearing four different colour ties ,green , yellow , blue and red, and robes with badges in the four different colours ,each with one  of the four different animals on the school crest. In front of the hall was one high table overlooking the others where the headmaster and the teachers sat. in front of the staff table was a stool with an old hat on it. the entire hall was lit up with floating candles. The ceiling looked like the sky outside. It was breath taking to watch as we walked along the isle between the tables. Hermione made her way up to me and started telling me about the ceiling. "It's  not real, the ceiling, it's just bewitched to look like the sky outside. I read about it in Hogwarts: A History." she said. " I figured as much, but thanks anyway Mione, Hogwarts: A History sounds like a fascinating book." I told her. she smiled at me and said."My pleasure, and it really is." "You must let me borrow it sometime, I would love to read it." I told her. "Certainly." she replied excitedly. We chatted a bit until professor McGonagall gestured for us to stop in front of the stool with the hat. "When I call out your name, you will come and sit on the stool and I will place the hat on top of your head, and you will be sorted into your house." Professor McGonagall announced. Hermione went first, she practically ran up to the hat so excited was she. " Good luck Hermione." I told her. The sorting hat was placed on her head and a few minutes later it shouted "Gryffindor!" Hermione took off the hat, jumped up and went to sit down at the table on the far left. after Hermione it was Draco. He sauntered up to the stool and sat down. "the hat barely even touched his head when it shouted "Slytherin!" He went and sat down at the table on the far right. Ron made some comment to Harry and I about every witch and wizard who went bad being in Slytherin. "Ron, that's not true, its just a ridiculous rumour." I told him. later on it was Ron's turn. He was also sorted into Gryffindor. After Draco it was Blaise and Serena ,they both got into Slytherin as well.After a little while it was only Harry and I that was left. When McGonagall read out Harry's name, everyone started to whisper again. The hat took a long time with Harry to decide, and it looked as if he was mumbling something to the hat. Eventually the Hat shouted "Gryffindor!" The hall erupted in cheers, the loudest coming from the Gryffindor table. Ron's older twin brother's shouted " We got Potter!" very loudly, and then finally it was my turn. "Rose Potter" McGonagall read out. The entire hall fell silent. A few whispers saying, "Harry Potter has a sister?" and things like that. It was a little annoying being in my brother's shadow. I didn't want Harry to define me. I didn't simply want to be known as " The boy who live d's twin sister nobody knew about, I wanted to be Rose Potter, and to be known for me not because I'm related to Harry. I would of course never blame or judge Harry for any of this, he didn't know about any of this until a month ago and he certainly never asked for it,my dear brother is far to humble and down to earth for that. I walked up do the stool with my head held high and sat on it with my one leg crossed over the other, like a lady. I put the hat on and it whispered in my head. "Plenty of kindness, loyalty , courage and very intelligent, you'd be perfect in any house, but just like you're brother there is talent and a thirst to prove yourself. I can also see that you want an identity separate from your brother's. putting you in the same house won't help your chances, so better be Slytherin!" The hat yelled. I couldn't help but feel pride about getting into Slytherin. I hope Harry won't be mad at me or judge me for it. I will  just have to talk to him tomorrow. I took off the hat and went and  sat down next to Serena. after everyone was sorted Dumbledore made a speech which consisted of the rules, something about not going to the third floor if we don't want to die a painful death, which was really weird and some other stuff. After that the feast appeared. the food was delicious and I spent dinner, eating and laughing and chatting with Serena and Blaise, until it was time to go to bed. Our house prefects showed us the way to the common room which was in the dungeons. The common room was very elegantly decorated with green and black leather couches, silver through pillows fancy silver chandeliers, and dark wood furniture. I shared a Dorm with Serena, Slytherin have only two people in a dorm unlike the other houses who have four. We have King size four poster beds with emerald green silk sheets. the other houses have single four poster beds and they definitely don't have silk sheets. Serena and I spent nearly the entire night chatting until we fell asleep from exhaustion. I was very happy.
