Ch 4- Ravenclaw’s Descendent

Instructions

Ch 4: Ravenclaw ‘Wait…what?!’ Lydia asked in shock. ‘You need to be restored because you don’t belong in Slytherin and the Sorting Hat made a mistake.’ Professor McGonagall winced a little at the lie, because actually Hermione had told her to resort Lydia without giving an explanation. Lydia sat down and the Sorting Hat was placed on her head once again, ‘You came again… well you still belong in Slytherin but since there’s a special request…’ it said and then explored her memories a little. ‘I know why you have been asked to be resorted, so now you belong in Ravenclaw’ Before she could ask any questions, McGonagall said, ‘You may go Lydia and don’t forget, Ravenclaw common room not Slytherin’ Lydia just stared at her and then took a step back, going out of the room She dashed into Hailey, Scorpius and Albus on the way there, and she explained her whole mess to them. ‘But I think maybe Professor McGonagall has already explained to the Ravenclaws that they will be having a new student?’ The three of them just stared at me in shock, ‘Wait so your not in Slytherin anymore?’Hailey asked ‘Ya’ ‘Well, Lyd I always knew you were too good to be in Slytherin.’ Hailey told Lydia with a smile. ‘Hey, what about us?!’ The two boys asked her in unison, feigning hurt. ‘Well you two are just annoying so ya your def bad enough to be in Slytherin’ Hailey said with a sassy hair flip. ‘Come on Lyd, let’s leave these idiots behind’ Albus and Scorpius walked off, Lydia and Hailey were just talking when they almost banged into another girl. ‘Sorry!’ ‘No problem’ the other girl said. She had dark brown hair with light brown highlights which were in a braid. She also had hazel eyes and was wearing Hufflepuff robes. ‘What’s your name?’ Lydia asked her. ‘I’m Lyla Willow, and you’re Hailey and Lydia aren’t you?’ ‘Ya, how did you know?’ Hailey asked her. ‘Everyone knows you two! ‘You're a Granger-Weasley,’ she said pointing to Lydia, ‘and you’re a Malfoy and a descendant of Salazar Slytherin!’ She ended pointing at Hailey. ‘Also, you got resorted to Ravenclaw from Slytherin!’ ‘Is that public now?’ Lydia asked, covering her face with her hands. ‘Ya… sorry’ ‘It’s not your fault’ And just like that, Lydia got another friend. It was time for Lydia to go and check out the Ravenclaw Common Room and as she walked there she got super worried, ‘What will they think of me?’ She pushed those thoughts away from her mind and then walked into the room. Everyone stared at Lydia suddenly and she looked away. ‘Aren’t you in Slytherin?’ A girl with short black hair and violet eyes asked her. Lydia recognised her from the Sorting, her name was Quinn Hope Solace. ‘Umm… ya I kind of got resorted to Ravenclaw?’ She said thinking about what Lyla said and thought “thanks a lot Lyla, I thought everyone knew” ‘Ok’ she said and then went right back to reading her book while everyone just stared at Lydia. ‘Excuse me’ Lydia said, running into the girl’s dormitory and slamming the door behind her, leaving a stunned silence. An owl flew into her open window and it was their owl, with a message from her mom. Dear Lyd, Your letter was very vague and I heard from Ginny that Albus got sorted into Slytherin. You just had a fight with Rose and it’ll be alright. Also, what’s your friend’s name? Did you make any other friends? You got resorted to Ravenclaw right? Good. Yours lovingly, Mom. Hermione Granger Lydia tore the letter up and chucked it in the fireplace. She did not ‘just have a fight with Rose’ and she wasn’t just going to ‘be besties with Rose’ again! She was so mad at her mom. Just then the door slowly opened up with a creak and she shouted, ‘Go Away!’ Quinn peeked into the room and said matter of factly, ‘You need help’ Her tone was all Lydia needed to give in and tell her everything that happened. She listened to it all and gave advice like how she should get to know the Ravenclaws. And then one thought flashed through Lydia’s mind, “I might have lost my sister, but I made three new friends. People actually like me and I will do anything to defend them”
