Chapter 2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eva woke with a start as Milli poked her with her wand. "Hey wake up we're here!" she exclaimed beaming with excitement. Eva rubbed her eyes and looked out the window in the distances she good see Hogwarts castle the lights in the windows gleaming like stars. She picked up her suitcase and made sure Whiskers was tucked firmly into her pocket and as she did she noticed that Theodore had already gone. She shrugged it herself, got up and made her way though the train following close behind. As she stepped of the train she heard Hagrid the friendly game keeper shouting and waving to the first years, Eva and Milli hurried over to him pulling the cloaks up around their necks as the cold wind swept around them. Eva looked over at the other first years who had all huddled up in a circle trying to keep warm. The group had started to follow Hagrid who and unbenounced to the cold was striding on forward to the docks, where a small collection of wooded boats were moored. " Alright you lot, get in'a pairs and hop in boat" said Hagrid in his booming voice. Eva and Milli ple their luggage into one of the small boats and hop in. As they row across the black lake Eva looks up at the castle looming overhead and remembered her dream the night before. Not before long the had reached the castle and all the first years made their way of the boats shivering in the evening air. They carried their luggage into the castle and left it in a pile ready to be magically sent up to their dorms. Professor McGonagall was waiting for the in the corridor and lend them towards the great hall Milli gave Eva a nervous smile and they entered the great hall. The great hall was bigger than Eva could ever imagine with a cathedral like ceiling which was glittering with the stars above. There were 4 tables lined up in the great hall all sporting the different houses Eva caught site of Draco chatting with his friends and sneering at the first years. Professor McGonagall pulled out a piece of parchment from her robes and started to call out names." Granger Theodore" she called and Theodore walked up to the front of the hall and sat down onto the stole. Professor McGonagall placed the sorting hat on his head as he squeezed his eyes shut, after a moment the hat exclaimed "GRYFFINDOR!" The Gryffindor table erupted into cheers and Theodore hurried over grinning so more people went up and soon enough it was Milli's turn she walked up to the front of the hall and sat tentatively onto the stole Professor McGonagall placed the sorting hat onto her head and after a minute it shouted "SLYTHERIN!" The slytherin table cheered and Eva smiled at her new friend. A girl called Tilula Lovegood who had long flowing blonde hair and a dreamy look on her face made her way up to the front and was sorted into Ravenclaw and not soon after a boy called Harry Parkinson who had dark brown hair and piercing brown eyes was sorted into Gryfindor. Finally Eva's name was called and she shakely made her way up to the front and sat onto the stool. Professor McGonagall once again placed the hat onto her head and as soon as she did the hat began to talk. "Ooh a Malfoy I've seen a lot of your family but you seem different, you would do well in Gryffindor you have the qualities but I sense you want to be in Slytherin?" said the hat, Eva nodded. "Well then it's decided." said the hat to Eva and not a moment later it exclaimed to the hall, "SLYTHERIN!" The slytherin table cheered and clapped and Eva made her way over to Milli who had saved her a seat at the table next to her. "I am so glad you're in Slytherin with me" said Milli. Eva beamed at her, thankful that she was too. Dumbledore did his speech and the feast began Evan and her new friend tucked into their food which had magically appeared on the table. Eva noticed someone staring at her and realized it was the boy who was sitting with her and Milli on the train, Theodore - who was sitting next to the boy called Harry- , was staring at her from the Gryffindor table with a look anger and confusion that Eva didn't quite understand. As soon as Theodore noticed Eva staring back at him, he quickly looked away and started to eat his food. It wasn't long before they had finished there feast and where being escorted to their common rooms by the house prefects. The prefect that was leading the slytherin year ones was called Felicity Thomas and Eva saw her calling over to one of the Ravenclaw prefects Clara Clawford asking why the year ones kept getting smaller. The Slytherins made their way through the castle bustling past all the other students who where heading in all directions, eventually the came to the dungeons where a small black door was hidden in the gloom, Felicity lit her wand and stood in front of the door and it sprang open with a grinding of metal on cold stone wall.......
