Phoenix Tears Heal The Hurt

Chapter Three - The Sorting

I got bored of my story being on hold :D and there's no school for a week so I decided to upload. The only reason my story is on hold is because I can't upload as much as I’d like to and when I do it takes me about 3 hours to type up so here is chapter 3 . If I miss out any letters, mostly M's it's because the keyboard is broken and I have to press harder, the M key is GONE :P

AGAIN I OWN NOTHING

Chapter three :) -  Lisa POV

I made my way to the boats following a giant called Hagrid I think that this must be the 'oaf' Draco was referring to. I was daydreaming and walking, not really realising where I was going until I almost ended up inside the great lake but Hagrid yelled at me so  I stopped daydreaming at that point and just went back to thinking about him, Draco. I got lost in my own thoughts again until Hagrid said something like " Four to a boat, no more, no less I'm on my own and be careful not to fall in, Melissa" I smirked and walked to a boat with only three other students in it and sat down at the back. The other kids on my boat were called Ben Dawson, Jack Montoya and Elizabeth Shaw, two boys and one other girl. Hagrid came around and lit all the lamps, then led us towards Hogwarts. When we had got to the point when Hagrid had stopped talking and everything had fallen silent I went back to daydreaming. When it was time to get out of the boats I only came back to consciousness when she was tapped on the shoulder by someone, the boy from the boat called Ben. "You might want to go to bed as soon as you get to you common room if you’re going to keep falling asleep like this" He said smiling. "I wasn't sleeping, I was daydreaming" I replied laughing "Hey, where are the others" "Oh, they just went in two seconds ago, come on we'll be late" "Oh, right, come on then, Ben isn't it?" I asked him "Yes" Ben replied "Well, come on then Ben we don't want to miss the sorting" we laughed. We went inside to find everybody else talking and joking. Then somebody started to talk and everybody fell silent and turned around to watch her. She was a rather old, tall Scottish woman with long fingers and a warming smile. "Welcome to Hogwarts" she said "In a few moments you'll pass through these doors and join your classmates but before you can take your seats you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin." There were smirks and laughs from other students behind Me as people were approving houses that they wanted to be in. The lady continued to talk, apparently her name was Professor McGonagall and she was Head of Gryffindor, not that I really cared. "While you're here your house will be like your family your triumphs will earn you points and any rule breaking, you will lose points. At the end of the year the house with the most points will be awarded the house cup" It felt like she was talking forever then she finally said "We are ready for you now." We started filing through the big doors and I started to feel sick of nerves, not because I would be watched by everyone because I would be watched by Draco. When we walked through the great hall I could hear chattering from each house table, I turned my attention to the Slytherin table and the first thing to stand out to me were his blue eyes and platinum blonde hair, Draco. I smiled towards him, and he smiled back but our moment was interrupted as the Ben boy pushed through eeryone else and told me that the ceiling was bewitched to look like the night sky and that it wasn't real. I just smiled and nodded to be polite, not even listening to a word he was saying and before I knew it we were at the top of the great hall, at the teachers table. In front of us sat only a few teachers that I knew, Professor Dumbledore from the chocolate frog card, Hagrid from the boats and Professor McGonagall from her very long speech. I turned back to the Slytherin table and Draco was still watching me, out of all the new first years to stare at and he was watching me. I was starting to wonder why he was watching me when there were other girls far prettier than me, but before my mind could wander off again I was interrupted by professor McGonagall putting down 3-legged stool and an old hat with a face, she said "Professor Dumbledore would like to say a few words before we begin." Everyone turned to face the headmaster and he said his speech about where was forbidden and what was not to be done in the corridors to and from class. He finished off by saying welcome to the first years and welcome back to everyone else. Professor McGonagall started talking again and someone behind me said "does that woman ever stop talking?" audible enough for everyone in the whole school to hear including Professor McGonagall herself. Everyone laughed and McGonagall continued talking “now, you will come forth and I will place the sorting hat on your head and you will be sorted into you houses, Jack Montoya" she said as he walked up, I noticed him as one of the people I had sat with on the boats. "RAVENCLAW" the hat shouted and he went off to join the Ravenclaw students. "Ginevra Weasley" McGonagall said whilst I remembered Draco’s Rule, I turned to look at him. He smiled and nodded and I knew at that moment that I was not allowed to talk to Ginevra if she wanted to hang around with Draco. The hat was placed upon her head and she jumped when it started talking, it was rather funny "Ah, another Weasley, I know just what to do with you GRYFFINDOR" Ginevra smiled and skipped off to join her brothers. I zoned out again and suddenly before I knew it, it was My turn "Melissa Zabini" Professor McGonagall said. I walked up quietly and feeling quite embarrassed because everyone was watching me and the sick feeling returned. The hat hadn't even touched my head when it shouted "SLYTHERIN" Draco smiled the largest smile I had seen on him and I walked off to join the Slytherins. As I got closer to the Slytherin table I realised that Draco was sitting close to the end so that I could sit by him aww , which I did. When I was about to sit down he stood up and helped me, Like a perfect gentleman. The rest of the first years got sorted including Ben who also got put into Slytherin. When he sat down next to me, I wasn't paying attention and I still didn't realise until he put his arm around me in an awkward one-armed hug. I jumped at his touch and turned round to slap him but I stopped. Draco was staring into the ceiling but when I jumped he turned around and realised that somebody had an arm around me. "Who are you and what are you doing to my girl?" Draco said, I blushed and looked down to hide myself. "well" Ben answered "My name is Ben Dawson, I met Lisa here on the boats and when did you officially make her yours, she never mentioned you" "Well, My name is Malfoy, Draco Malfoy and I met Lisa before you, on the train and also you are just an ickle-baby first year and I’m in second year which makes me more sophisticated and intelligent." "Oh yeah, want to bet" "Fair enough, whoever gets there first and she chooses" Draco said just as Blaise butted in "are you two fighting over my sister?" he asked "you do know that she's sitting right between you, don't you" When he said that they both looked down at me. I was barely paying attention but my instinct told me that they were watching and I looked back up. I looked straight into Draco’s eyes and smiled, forgetting all about Ben who was sitting right next to me. At that point a marvellous feast appeared in the middle of the table and broke my eye-contact with Draco. I turned and gaped at the food leading all the way down the Slytherin tale. I looked around and realised that all the house tables had been filled with amazing food. The first thing I went to pick up was a chicken leg and I found my hand skim past Draco’s. I turned around to look at him when I heard a faint growling reminding that Ben was still sitting next to me. I smiled at him and said "I don't like, like you in that way, you know that right?" I tried to say it in my nicest voice but failed and he looked down and said "Yes, I thought you'd say that, I mean what would a girl like you want with a boy like me?" I nodded to be nice but I wasn't actually listening to anything he had to say. I felt Draco chuckle beside me and that's when I finally realised that he had his hand resting on my lower back, I smiled to myself and continued eating whilst looking down. After I felt like I was going to explode I went to take a drink of my pumpkin juice from my goblet when a ghost head popped out of the plate of chicken bones that was left and my goblet slipped from my grasp and fell to the floor, I got soaked. Blaise laughed at me along with Pansy, Crabbe and Goyle but Draco just smirked, bent down and picked up my goblet for me, waved his wand a few times and I was back to being bone dry. I thanked him and looked up to find every single person in the whole school watching me, even the teachers. I could feel all her blood rushing to her face and knew with my gut instinct that I was as red as a tomato and I was getting even worse by the moment. After what felt like eternity everyone started to turn back around their own way and continue with what they were doing before my incident and Crabbe began to talk "Lisa, this is the Slytherin house ghost 'The Bloody Baron'" I smiled at Crabbe whilst deep in thought, taking it all in. I watched the ghost until it turned around and looked into my eyes and said "Didn't anyone ever tell you that it's rude to stare" while waving his sword in my face  "Manners these days, especially Slytherins" but he smiled when he said the last part and I guessed that he was proud of the Slytherins for being like this. Once everyone had finished eating, Dumbledore stood back up and told everyone to go to bed, and for the first years to follow the prefects. Great, Classes start tomorow yay! (Sarcasm, deep down I'm terrified  :-D)
