Love At First Sight

2~the sorting~

I noticed the rather old looking woman step up behind Dumbledore and grab a list of names that's she started to read aloud.

"Granger, Hermione" the woman stated. I saw a rather nervous looking girl, talking to herself; she looked worried but ready to be sorted. The woman placed a dingy looking hat on the girl's head and the hat shouted, "I know, GRYFFINDOR!". 

I watched a row of students cheering loudly, roaring almost, at the new addition they had gotten to their house.

"Draco Malfoy" called the old woman. "Oh no" I said under my breath. That was the ignorant kid that I just so happened to bump into.

The blonde boy took a seat in the stool and the hat was put on his head, with out a second to spare, and not even completely on his head, the hat called out, "SLYTHERIN!" The whole Slytherin table roared with excitement. Who could be happy he was in their house. I stated to myself.

Then I heard my name being called. "Oh great, here it is." I walked up to the stool and sat on top of it as I watched the woman put it on top of my head.

My heart was beating out of my chest at the thought that any moment, my future was about to unfold on where I aught to be for the rest of my life.

I heard a voice on the top of my head call out, "hmm difficult very difficult. There's talent yes, but not a bad mind either. Hmm very well then, SLYTHERIN!" called the hat.

Wow. I stated, I couldn't believe it.

I bet my Mum would be very proud of me, more so my brother who was teasing all summer that I would be put in a wimpy house, or that I wasn't as cool as him.

The worst news was that I would be spending my time closer than ever with Draco Malfoy, the boy that I had just so happened to accidentally bump into at the wrong time.

One of the prefects led us down to the dungeons where the Slytherin common room was located.

As we stepped in, I was immediately caught off guard by how beautiful it was.

The green lights, the black lake out the windows, the leather couches and sweet smell of lime lingering in the air.

In the corner of my eye, I could see the blonde boy staring at me. I quickly turned away because to be honest, I was a little intimidated, and flattered.

What if he liked me? He's been staring at me ever since I bumped into him. I thought he was angry and annoyed by that?

Quite frankly maybe I liked him too? Something about him was different than anyone else. His eyes gray, his pointed features, and the smirk that was often plastered on his face.

Not a kind smirk, but a smirk that he was proud of something. Something that remind me of a sense of ignorance or pride.

I decided to go check out the girls dorms and see who would be sharing a room with me.

Once I walked in the the door, a very small, pale girl with large brown eyes, and shoulder length hair was sitting on one of the beds. "Hi, I'm Y/n Villarreal, what's your name?" I stated. I wanted to make friends here since I hadn't gotten any yet. Or sort of?

" Cynthia Lakshire, nice to meet someone new". Cynthia, what a cool name that was. I thought to myself, in an amused manner.

"Do you have any siblings that go here? I asked in curiosity. "No sadly, I'm an only child. My dad is a wizard, but my Mum is a muggle. So I guess that makes me a half blood." Cynthia stated sort of sad at her words.

I wonder why she was so upset at that? I decided to take the bed to Cynthia's left and lay my stuff out making myself at home.

Once I got done with everything I marched outside and sat right in front of the fire place. No one was in the common room at the time, everyone was in their dorms laughing and giggling.

All of a sudden I heard a familiar voice say, "What are you doing in here all alone." It was Draco Malfoy. Great. "Oh nothing just decided to sit down and relax from the ride here." I stated right before yawning in exhaustion.

"Hey, I wanted to apologize for the way I treated you in the sorting. It was rude and I know it was an accident."

Did Draco Malfoy just apologize? I sort of just stood there without saying a word until I managed to say something.

"It's ok" I said sort of shyly. To be honest he kind of intimidated me even though we were the same age and everything, and of course I sort of had a crush on him but I didn't want to admit it. But how come? He was rude from the start, but then he apologized... I wonder why.
