Hogwarts Sorting hat ll

Chapter 10

After a couple more minutes I hear, "Selina Snape!" and the room goes silent… So I make my way to the stool and take my seat and the last thing I see before Professor Mcgonagall put the hat on my head, witch is huge by the way, is all the upper classmates looking at me in confusion. Some of them looking at jax.

*Ahhhh a second Snape interesting and that's not all that's interesting about you seems your from another world and known all about what is to come! I see, I see, yes is seems you have training in Occlumency, very powerful indeed. Not even Dumbledore could break these shields. Good, you must protect what's inside your head bad things will happen if ANYONE gets a hold of this…* I hear inside my head.

I think back *How can you get past them?* He replies with a chuckle *My magic is very old and I don't use Legilimens to see in side your head, but even still it is very difficult to move about your mind. Now were too put you? Hmm your brave that's for sure, but I don't think you would be happy with gryffindor, no not there. You can be very loyal yes but not like the hufflepuffs… Hmm Ravenclaw could work indeed very well for you, but I think your place is in,* "SLYTHERIN!!!" I hear yelled out above me.

My knew house table bursts with excitement! More than any of the other students that was sorted into Slytherin. *Must be because I'm there head of houses daughter.* I glance at my father and see him trying to hold back a smile but I can see how proud he is and I smile back and move to my new table and take my seat. Than the sorting continued. Both Percy and woods went too gryffindor, where they belong and before the food arrived Dumbledore said his random words and we all ate.

I noticed I was the only girl who was sorted into Slytherin this year… *I hope that means I get my own room* there is also 8 other boys with me. I'm sitting next to a second year and he turns to me, he looks tall and relatively muscular he has rather large teeth, shifty grey eyes, and coarse black hair. He says "Good evening, Ms Snape I'm Marcus Flint, welcome to Slytherin." and he holds his hand out for me. *Shit I forgot about be surrounded by death eaters… Ok time for some 5 star acting!* I raise my eyebrow like my father, I've been practicing in the mirror. "Good evening, Thank you." I say as I take his hand and before I can shake it he brings it up too his lips and kisses it! *Oh gross, I forgot I was dealing with purebloods* I smile politely and discreetly wipe my hand off under the table. Than jax moves too my lap to get a better look at him.

Another second year said "Yeah welcome, I thought for sure all our firsties would be all blokes…" Some laughed at that, my fellows especially. Flint looked at me again, "So your Professor Snape's daughter? I didn't known he had one..." I give some chicken to jax. "Nether did he till this summer." *Here we go truth buried in lies time to play the Slytherin game!* "I was abandoned at a filthy muggle orphanage by my mother. But luckily my father came to get me with my letter to Hogwarts." A second year girls ask me "Was your mother a muggle too?" I noticed most everyone is secretly listening, "Of course not, you really thing my father would lower himself like that? Disgusting, no but she was a muggle born." *I will not hide that face, but they don't need to known witch muggle born.*

"That's just as bad!" A third year said. "Oh hardly! At least she had magic! Muggle the filthy beasts have nothing." I say. The conversation was interrupted by Dumbledore standing and the food disappearing. "I hope you enjoyed the meal as much as I did. There are a few things we must go over, First being that the forbidden forest surrounding the castle is as it's named forbidden. Secondly first years, should you ever need help getting around the castle please don't be afraid to ask your upperclassmen, or professors should you come across them. The ghosts of the school as well as the portraits are quite helpful as well! Lastly there have been reports of A Chimaera getting loose from the local zoo. It is far away but is may attempt to seek shelter in our forest another reason not to go there! Thank you."

With that said the Slytherin prefect take us to our common room. Were my father gave us a speech on house unity and sticking together. After he turns to me, "Selly you are the only female in your year so you will be getting your own dorm." My face lights up "Ok thank you fath-Professor!"

After he leaves we all go to our dorms. The girls dorm is a spiral staircase on the right side of the common room, going down. Mine was on the first landing and inside was a single four poster-bed covered in green eiderdowns with a nightstand witch a lamp is placed on, on the right side of the room. I put my school trunk at the foot of my bed. There is a bookshelf covering most of the wall, and wooden desk and chair on the left side of the room. There's also another door. The second door leads to a half bathroom all to myself! There is a dresser is near the bed, a wooden board is situated on the right side of the door for students to decorate. The walls and floors are stone and a large green rug across the floor. The window was four feet from the floor and went up 6 feet and was 8 feet wide, it has a view of under the black lake and in the distance I can see the mermaid village. There is also a pile of white pillows on the floor witch jax makes a nest in and I dig in my trunk for his large midnight blue blanket and throw it over him.

As I'm unpacking my trunk I here a knock on my door, "Come in!" Three girls come in, the first had dark curly brown hair in a bun and brown eyes framed by dark round glasses, the second had short black hair with her bangs on the right side of her face in a ponytail and green eyes, the third had short and messy dark brown hair, with one area an orange color, and violet eyes. She had thick furrowed eyebrows. I noticed her stockings has a hole around her left kneecap and she wore black combat boots. She starts talking "Hello Selly, My name is Merula Snyde, and these are my roommates Ismelda Murk and Liz Tuttle. We are fourth years, we wanted to see how you are setting." She looks around the room with obviously jealousy.

"I'm fine, thank you." I say in a neutral voice. *Note to self ward room and everything inside!* She and Murk wandered around the room looking at everything and Tuttle walks over too where jax is making his nest. Snyde continues "We also wanted to let you know if you need anything too let us know. You are our head of house's daughter after all, it's the least we can do for Professor Snape." Murk whispers under her breath, "Even if you are a mudblood…"

"Right, well I'm sure I'll be fine. But if I have any questions I'll be sure to ask you ladys." I reply a bit colder than before. Tuttle specks now, "What is this creature?" she's crouched by his nest and every time she tries to get closer he hisses at her. "That is jax he is my farmilur. Also he is very territorial so I would not move into his nest area..." I say not going in too detail. She adjusts her glasses. "Well duh, but what is he?" I sigh, "He's a Nu'wam. Now I appreciate the visit ladys but I must get back too unpacking and I prefer to do that alone, I'm sure you understand." I look too Snyde and Murk. They glare slightly but get the point and leave, but Tuttle is still looking at jax. "What's a Nu'wam? I've never heard of it." she asks.

"Why don't you try and figure it out for yourself, it will be a fun mystery." I say trying to get her to leave and she nods, makes some notes into a notebook and makes a quick sketch of jax than leaves not once looking at me. I shake my head and close and lock the door behind her than ward the door, and go back to unpacking.

The next morning I follow the rest of the first years too breakfast. I glance a my sedula my father just handed out and I have Potions first with the Gryffindors. Just then a hundred or so owls fly in and drop the mail and I grab the Daily Prophet my father's owl dropped for me before he flew over to give my father his.

Across the hall I hear "Roderick Plumpton died" yelled, so curiously i look in the obituary section.

Roderick Plumpton (1889-1987) was an English wizard who was the Seeker for the Tutshill Tornados Quidditch team during the early 1900s. He invented the Plumpton Pass during a match against the Caerphilly Catapults in 1921, where he caught the Snitch after three and a half seconds. Plumpton was also accomplished in the arts, having painted Witch and Wizard Couple, a painting of a medieval couple, currently hanging at Hogwarts Castle, Plumpton led the Tornados to five consecutive League Cups. While critics allege his 'Plumpton Pass' was an accident, and the Snitch had merely flown up his sleeve, Plumpton insisted until his death that he meant to do it. He died at the age of 97 by choking on a lemon drop.
