After my little drama Harry, Hermione, Rob and me had become good friends. I didn't like them one bit. Harry killed my dad, i couldn't possibly like him and the other two consisted out of a filthy mud blood and a Weasley. They were all sickly sweet and nice.
I stretched my arms as we stepped out of the train, and was immediately star struck. We were standing in front of a huge, beautiful castle. I recognised one of its towers, the tallest one and also the one i could see from my uncles castle.
"Come on!" Harry urged as the golden gate swung open. I stepped inside and looked around. The school was lit by everlasting candles and decorated by beautiful paintings. It's reminded me of my previous house.
Something bubbled in my stomach at that thought but i suppressed it and followed the trio into the hall. "You stay here, we got to go." Hermione said before storming off behind Harry and Ron.
I sighed looking around me. I was surrounded by 11 year olds and that was something that i didn't like. I pushed past them, until i was standing at the front. I stared at the gate in front of me.
It was pure gold, decorated with gems, jewels, even diamonds. I ran my hand over them, absolutely impressed. I heard footsteps nearing and i quickly turned my expression back to my usual cold one.
I stepped backwards, not wanting to be hit in the face by the gate. That's when the door swung open and revealed a woman, in her late 50's with a pair of glasses on her nose. She was wearing green robes and her face was quite wrinkled.
"Hello everybody, I'm professor McGonaggal." She introduced, fixing the witch hat on her head. "Come on." She spoke breathlessly, as if she were in a rush.
She turned around and strode inside, followed by a line of 11 year olds. I spotted a girl that looked about my age at the back of the line and settled myself behind her.
As we walked in i couldn't help but feel proud as everybody stared at me. I do not know why. There were long tables, filled with food and drink. My mouth watered at the sight of the deliciousness on the long tables.
There were four tables, the first one was being used by some people who were wearing dark blue ties. The one next to it was yellow and then red. The last table was green.
I was shaken out of my thoughts as the girl in front of me moved forwards and i realised i had not only missed the heads speech, i had also missed everybody getting sorted.
"Mhmm..." a deep voice said. I looked up to see the girl with brown hair sitting on a chair, with a grey hat on her head. The hat had eyes and a mouth and i instantly knew that it was the sorting hat.
"GRYFFINDOR!" The hat shouted. Cheers erupted from the red table, as the girl emerged towards it with a huge grin on her face.
"Now..." a old man with the longest beard I've ever seen and twinkling blue eyes spoke. "Our fourth and last golden ticket achiever, Curse Riddle!"
I gulped before walking up to the chair with red cushioning. I settled myself into it and felt the heavy weight of the sorting hat on my head seconds later. "Well, well, well..." the hat spoke. "I know you!"
My expression stayed normal even though on the inside I was surprised. "I'm pretty sure another Riddle has came to this school before. But anyway, you my child have skill. You're brave, smart, cunning. You would fit in gryffindor as well as ravenclaw and Slytherin. Now the best fit... SLYTHERIN!" Cheers erupted from the green table as i made my way towards it.
I couldn't help but glare at the gryffindors who shot me disgusted looks. "All wizards that went wrong came from Slytherin." Ron whispered. Hermoine nodded as Harry looked at me and smiled.
I glared at Weasley, who visibly gulped. Still glaring at Gryffindors i sat down on a empty space. I looked up to see a piece of beautiful, smoking hot chicken. My mouth watered but i didn't show it. Instead i looked to my right and saw a frightened boy looking around.
I rolled my eyes and turned to my left, almost chocking on my own spit as i saw the platinum blonde hair and grey eyes staring at the food.
Draco. Draco Malfoy. As if sensing my fear, Draco turned around and i immediately masked my expression. He stared into my eyes and i couldn't help but feel scared of him.
I took a deep breath, turning away from him. "Hi." Draco breathed. I turned around. "Hi." I answered coldly.
"I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." He informed me, something twinkling in his magical grey eyes.
"Riddle. Curse Riddle." I said as i could almost feel ashamed as i told him my name. Curse. Who calls their daughter a Curse?!
He seemed to read my thoughts as his eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "So your new huh?" He questioned.
I nodded. He brought his hand up and i couldn't help but flinch. Draco stared at me in confusion before brushing the hand trough his hair. I sighed in relief. "Is something wrong?" He asked me and i was about to answer but was rudely interrupted by the headmaster.
"Ladies and gentlemen," He started. Then it hit me. He was Dumbledore. I had to kill him and i would do it. "Today is the that we choose our new perfects. The only difference is that these will be chosen by the goblet of fire! We have put every fifth years students name in it, so hold on to your wands as the goblet of fire makes its decision. "
Everybody held their breaths as i saw the goblet of fire being lifted next to Dumbledore. I stared at the stone object with blue fire in awe. Dumbledore raised his hand and two pieces of paper flew out of the fire as he catches them swiftly. "Ravenclaw. Harriet Disney and Gregory Temple!"
I watched as a girl with strawberry blonde hair and a boy with brown hair stood up, linking arms and walking towards the Dumbledore, who placed badges on their robes.
He lifted his hand again, and again caught two names. "Hufflepuff, Paige Night and Ben Lewis!" The two walked up to stage, received their badges and walked back.
"Griffindor, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley!" Hermione and Rob stood up, happily linking arms as gryffindors cheered and they got their badges.
"As for Slytherin, Curse Riddle and Draco Malfoy!" Panic. It rose up into my throat as i found myself getting out of my chair.
I looked up at Draco as he linked his arm with me. "Don't worry," he whispered. "I'll be there okay?"
I nodded, he knew that i didn't know anything about Slytherin. I wouldn't be able to help. I took a deep breath and walked with Draco towards Dumbledore. Out of my eye i could see Ron, Hermione and Harry giving us disgusted stares.
I ignored them as Dumbledore hung a badge on my robes. "Good luck." He whispered, before ushering every body out of the place.
I watched as a group of first years walked up to us, looking around fascinated. I swear i saw some girls blush as they looked at Draco, but i couldn't blame them.
I unhooked my arm from him, slightly scared that he'll pull out his wand and scream crucio at any time.
"So..." he started. "I'm Draco Malfoy and I'll be showing you around along with Curse Riddle." He pointed at me. "Follow us. If you have any questions, don't ask us."
I smirked, exactly what i would've said. Draco turned on his heels, turning left. I caught up with him, walking next to him as the first years followed us. We came to stop in front of some stairs that lead downwards.
"Watch out, they move." Draco said, before starting to climb down them. I did the same, wondering what he meant.
I found out quickly as the ground beneath me started moving. I wobbled on my feet as the staircase unhooked itself from one and started moving in midair to the other. Draco casually leant against the railing, as if he was standing in a lift.
That's when it happened. I felt myself fall backwards and got ready for the blow my head would receive and the pain that would explode trough my body.
It never came. I slowly opened my eyes and saw a pair of grey ones staring back at me. It was as if i was drowning in them. They were... my thoughts were interrupted as the staircase came to a stop.
I quickly stood straight, dusting of my robes and trying to make sure i didn't blush. I heard some of the first years coo behind me so i turned around glaring at them:"One more noise..." I whispered, loud enough for them to hear. All of them froze, nodding timidly. Even Draco looked tacked aback. "Thanks." I told him, looking away. "Anytime."
