"My Only Light" Severus Snape Love Story

A New Start

Mercy's POV:

"Hello, Miss. Nox I am professor McGonagall, I'll be escorting you in to be sorted into a new house before the first years get sorted.. Please follow me". She said it so demanding tone. I remembered her from my first year here I think she remembers the time I turned her desk into a cow and it mooed at people....

"Okay but what am I suppose to do with my bike". I asked gesturing to my beautiful green and black crotch rocket.

She looked at me then the bike. After a minute or two she finally spoke "As long as you keep it shrunk down you can keep it in your dorm, but be warned there will be no riding it in the halls." I nodded my head.

We started walking towards the school when I remembered that I already had a house, I was a Ravenclaw my first year. "Um professor I was put in house Ravenclaw my first year". I told her.

"Yes Miss. Nox but now its a new time and year you're here so you must be resorted." We finally reached the grand hall and she opened the door.

The beautiful hanging lights and long tables full of students turned to look at me. I felt nervous of all the staring eyes. I had on my normal outfit a pair of black jeans, my black long sleeve shirt and a leather jacket. My shoes hit the floor quietly but McGonagall's high heel shoes clunked. I straightened my poster as we walked down the row of tables. My eyes wandered around to staff table; a long wooden desk seated with 15-20 professors some I recognized, some I didn't, there was 3 professors I didn't know. Albus the headmaster smiled at me.

"Welcome back Miss. Mercy, were glad to have you here at Hogwarts take a seat on the stool". He looked over his glasses and pointed to the chair, Albus was suppose to be my guardian now.

I sat on the old rickety thing as everyone stared at me, I felt unnerved at all the eyes. The hat was placed on my head I took a deep breath.

The old sorting hat begun to speak. "Oh you're back I see, last time was Ravenclaw, I still see the smart in you yes but that isn't all I see trouble maker and very sly, brave very true, hiding things are we? Very tricky you are. Hmm I think you'd do best in SLYTHERIN.

The Slytherin table clapped and yelled. I gave a halfling grin and walked to my new house which isn't much a changed from my previous home. I sat near the end closet to the staff table, less of a walk and I get to see the sorting of the first years better. Not to mention not many Slytherins sat closer to the staff table that way they can talk and do magic under the radar.

Professor McGonagall ushered the first years one by one to the stool being sorted and sorted; one after the next. A first year caught my eye, Harry Potter... "As I live and breathe". I muttered. Thank god he got put in Gryffindor I would kill him if he got close to me. I had my own reasons for hating Harry. A first year white haired boy sat next to me.

"Is this spot takin"? He asked.

"It is now" I grumbled.

"I'm Draco, Draco Malfoy." He said it to proudly.

I gave him a glance, how did I not know he was a Malfoy..

"I'm Mercy". I gave my best fake smile.
Headmaster Dumbledore cleared his throat and everyone looked at him.
"Welcome to another year of Hogwarts witchcraft and wizardry I except big things from all of you this year." He finished and food appeared in front of us.
