Chapter 1
The noise in the King Cross Station, in London was over powering, people walking fast to their destination, and some walking out of the train station, many of those in the sunny day, were children's, and parents. Some of those go through 9 and 10, and until they reach platform 9 3/4, were the Hogwarts train, where to take the young people to their destination, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, in Scotland.
Two littler figure enter the station, each one with their respective baggage, one suitcase, with the initials of each girl, and two different pets, one white beautiful owl, and one black cat with bright yellow eyes.
Their little feet carried them fast through the crowd of busy people, until their reach 9 and 10 platform, both stop, very confuse and look at each other, their expression between bewilderment and panic.
"Where do you think is this platform 9 3/4?" mused one of the girls, looking around with big dark brown eyes, a death grip on the handle of the car in which her bag was.
"It's suppose to be here, that's what the letter says... I'm sure of it." her companion respond, her own eyes researching the place, until her amber eyes catch a two boys with dark hair run between the two platform with their laggard and disappear in the wall. "Look! Is over there!" exclaim guiding her companion toward what she believed was the entrance to the station.
"Are... are you sure?" her companion wasn't very kin to try what her friend has suggest, but one look at the clock in the nearest wall told her that they didn't have time to waste.
"I'll go first, then you can follow!" and without other thought, the girl with amber eyes, run with her baggage and went through the wall without smacking her face with the wall firs hand.
"Oh, Dear... she actually went through!" thought the girl with brown eyes, watching nervous the people around her, before taking a deep breath, and closing her eyes take a run toward the wall, sure she was going to smack into it, but like her companion she pass it and was to her amazement to the platform where a big train with the letters *Hogwarts Express* were posted in the front.
"Hurry up! Or we are going to be late, and I'm sure you don't want that, seen as you're always so punctual" commented the girl with amber eyes, a smile posted in her childish face.
Her only reply was a nod, before the two of them enter the train and miraculously found a empty compartment where they put their suitcases and the cages where their pets where.
"What do you think this school is going to be like?" ask the one with big brown eyes, putting aside a strain of dark hair behind her ear. Her hair was short pas her shoulders, in a rich dark brown almost black, and her fair skin has a gold tone that make it seem as if the sun itself has touch it.
"I'm not sure, but surely it will be something alike our old one" comment her companion, her curly gold blonde hair was in a braid, not much longer than her friend hair, she has amber eyes, and fair white skin, like marble.
"Yes, I suppose... I don't like begin the new student, but at least I have you here with me, I hope that we end in the same House, otherwise... I just don't want to think about it" murmured quietly but still aloud so her companion could hear her.
"Relax a bit, Raven, It's not the end of the world!" she said so, with this big happy and good nature smile in her face, that was the same opposite of her friend's reserved and serious face.
"Pam, really, sometimes I wonder where do you keep that amount of energy and confidence, all the time" Raven murmur, shaking her head in amazement, but nonetheless smile a bit.
A few minutes later, the train left the station, and both girl grin to each other, the emotion of the new school and the new place making them excited. Unfortunately or not, depend in which point of view you see it, the compartment in which they were sitting soon weren't theirs alone. The door was open by two girl with the school uniform robes.
"Do you mind if we sit with you two, the others are full" ask a girl with blond ash hair and blue eyes, her companion a girl with light brown hair and dark eyes.
The two girl eye each other, before Pam answer quit calm.
"Sure, suit yourselves."
"Thank you. Come Dora, let's sit." Commented the blond one. Both pair eye each other in silence, before the new blond speak. "Are you two first year?"
"No, actually we are second year." Again was Pam who answer, still smiling. Raven just nod.
"How curious, I don't remember seen you two before. I'm second year too. My name is Narcissa Black, nice to meet you." Said the blonde one, a calm smile in her pretty face. "This here is my cousin, Nymphadora Tonks, she's first year.
"Hey, nice to meet you." Dora wave her hand and grin to them. " It's a shame, I was hoping that you two were first year like me, It's my first year at Hogwarts."
"I'm Pamela Belflour, and we are second year, but we are transfer students, from America." Pam grin, observing both girls. "Oh, this here, quit like a mouse is my cousin, Raven Belfour."
Raven shot a look at her cousin, her brow furrowed, but in her eyes was not any bad emotion toward her relative.
"Please to meet you, I'm Raven." Was all that the petite girl said, and smile shyly.
"Oh, so that explain the accent." Comment Tonks, nodding to herself.
"Well, I hope you both found Hogwarts like a second home, it is for most of us, and hopefully we end in the same house." Said Narcissa, making comfortable in her seat.
The rest of the ride, was in a comfortable silence, with occasional comment about school and teachers and the houses. When there was a few minutes for arriving, Narcissa told the two girls to change into her robes, to which both agreed, and when finally their arrive at the platform the Bleflour girls were with their nerves at top, but for different reasons, Pam from excitement and Raven for apprehension at the outcome.
"Well, we'll see in the great Hall later, care full Dora. Farewell girls." Narcissa went to follow the others student while the three girls watcher go with conflictive emotions.
"First Years! First Years over here!" A loud voice, belonging to a extremely tall man with an impressive beard, was calling the new student. "Here, follow me! To the boats! C'mo, First Years!"
The three girls eyes the others new student, and the tall man, and then follow them, to where a many boats were to take them to the impressive castle in the other side of the lake.
"Four people for boat, no more than four!" call the giant man, before take one for himself.
Raven, Pam and Tonks mount the boat with a boy, who did pay them any attention, and that was fine with them, while Pam and Tonks were excited and almost couldn't contain their emotion, Raven was almost hyperventilating from fear and nervousness, her usual sun kissed gold skin was pale like a ghost.
But even she could not deny that the view of the impressive castle that was going to be their home from the next six years was something amazing, breathtaking, even when was so dark. Finally the boats arrive to the shore and slowly the children got down and form a file that follow the giant man, to a part of the castle and into room, where he stop.
"Well, first I'm Rubeus Hagrid, and am the Gamekeeper of Hogwarts" His beaming voice resounded in the close room, making some students wince once or twice. "You must wait here until Professor Mcgonagall came to scort you to the Great Hall." And with a beaming smile he left.
"Oh, For Merlin beard! I'm almost too excited to stay still!" Tonks beaming grin was posted in her face like a thousand lights, her feet couldn't stay put, so she was moving from one foot to the other.
"I know what you mean!" nodded fervently Pam, the grin in her face almost braking her face in half.
"I think... I'm going to throw up" murmur Raven quietly, moving her hands nervously, her eyes were open almost popping out of her childish pale face.
But none pay any mind to her comment, however all the students were abruptly silenced by the door opened and the appearance of a stern woman, dressed with black robes and a pointy hat, her green eyes, watching them with seriousness.
"Welcome to Hogwards, I'm Professor Minerva Mcgonagall, and in a few minutes I'm going to take you to the Great Hall, were you are going to be sorted in one house. The House are four, and their names are, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff , Ravenclaw, and Slytherin, the sorting is very important ceremony because while you are here, you house will be your home, your family, and you will spend free time in your house common room, sleep in your dormitoris and have class with your housemate." Mcgonagall, made a stop in her speech, eyeing the students, before continue her talk. "While you are at Hogwarts your triumphs will gain your house points, while any rules-braking will automatically lose those points. At the end of the year, the house with more points will be awarded with the house cup. I hope you great look, in your sorting. The sorting Ceremony will take place in a few minutes in front of the rest of the school, so I suggest that you smoothen yourselves the most you can. I'll be back in a short seconds, please wait quietly." Concluded the Professor, and soon left.
Everybody continue their little excited murmuring, but soon there was a woosh sound at the back of the ground, and suddenly a group of ghost past through the wall, scaring the students as they go, some scream and others laugh, but in reality the ghost were payning any mind to the student, too concentrated in their conversation. Raven was too concern at the upcoming ceremony that she didn't pay attention to that, while Tonks and Pam were murmuring excitedly about the ceremony and some sport game, name Quiddich.
Suddenly the ghost recall the new students and smile, one of them beam at them, saying.
"First years? I hope see some of your in Hufflepuff soon!"
Again in a matter of seconds, the door open and Mcgonagall appear again.
"Move along, students, the ceremony is about to begin" her sharp voice, silence all the students. The Ghost quietly disappear through the wall, and Mcgonagall continue, eyeing everyone. "Form a line and follow me." She said to us.
The Great Hall, was an impressive room, the ceiling apparently was bewitched to look like the night sky and was lighted by thousand and thousand of candle light in the air above the four tables, were the others students sat. Each table were covered with plate and goblets all empty, at the top of the hall were other table, were the Teachers were sat. Professor Mcgonagall lead the group lined to the front hall, face toward the teacher's table, were a stool with a hat stood silently waiting for them.
Raven was so pale and her hands incredibly cold, her teeth were biting her lower lip, and her stomach was so twisted in uneasiness that she really thought to run away from the inevitable ceremony, but her feet stay glue to the floor. Pam, turn her head around amazed at her surrounding, but soon catch the face of her cousin, and smiling kindly took her hand in hers, and give it a reassuring squeeze, and in retune she smile a little.
Suddenly both girl were startled by a voice, that start singing some tune that neither Belflour recognize. All the people in the hall was silent while the strange a ragged hat sing, but soon when the song ended all the student and teachers burst into applause. The hat bowed to each table and soon when Professor Mcgonagall step forward holding a long roll of parchment all the students made silence.
"When I will call your name, you will put on the hat and sit the in stool to be sorted. Raily, Lucas!" Professor Mcgonagall said. And the boy that has sit with the three girls in the boat step forward put on the hat and sit.
There was a moment of silence and the suddenly the hat shouted. "Hufflepuff!"
"Oh, Merlyn! This is it! I'm going to faint!" whisper Raven, more pale if that was possible, holding her cousin hand in a dead grip.
"Calm down, Raven, you'll be fine" assure Pam, trying to feel her fingers, but to no avail. In reality Pam wasn't that calm either, but if knew that if she panic her coursing probably will faint. "It's gonna be fast you see."
Suddenly Professor Mcgonagall call.
"Nymphadora Tonks!" and both girl saw their new acquaintance, walk tensly to the stool, and sit with the hat in her head. Both girls watch with rap attention, until the hat shout again. "Gryffindor!"
The Table of that House erupted in sheers and applause, very enthusiastic. And they feel relive for their friend, because she had pass for the worst and survive. But too soon their calmness broke, 'cause Professor Mcgonagall next call.
"Pamela Belflour!"
Both cousins look at each other with apprehension, and forcefully Pam let go of Raven hand and with a defiant and brave look in her face walk toward the stool and sit with the hat. Immediately she hear a voice in her head speaking. It was the voice of the sorting hat.
"Hmmm... interesting you are, you have the bravery of a lion, you show courage when defending what do you think is right, but smart, very smart... and a good heart, but you aren't someone to be fool easily... hmmm, I know where to put you... " and it said, then shouted. "Gryffindor!"
And again the tablet and the rest of the un-sorted students cheer loudly, Raven was smiling with happiness for her dear cousin. And again her little cheer mode was broke by the voice of their Professor, but this time calling her name.
"Raven Belflour!"
Raven gasp, her eyes open, and her body frozen for a few second, she stood there in the middle of the few people that were felt totally frozen in the spot, until Professor Mcgonagall call her name again, her legs didn't move an inch. With deliberate slow walk, and legs like Jell-O she came forward to the stool and sit with the ragged hat in her head. And suddenly a voice was speaking, the hat she realize, but it was so big, or she so small that the hat cover her eyes and she couldn't see a thing.
"Hmmm... Another Belflour, I see... " murmur the Hat. Contemplative. "You are smart in your own way, and cunning as well... no very brave, but if the time came when something important is in danger nothing is going to stop you... a good heart, but there's a dark secret keep deep from you, where to put you?" mused he hat. "No Ravenclaw... No Gryffindor... No Hufflepuff... " Raven had the heart in her throat, the flow of her blood like a drum in her ears didn't allow her to hear anything but the words of the sorting hat.
"Where are you going to put me, then? I'm not qualify for any house?" Raven ask in fear, and apprehension.
"What to do? What to do?" mused the hat again, like a song. "Slytherin... maybe?... Hmmm, but if I put you in there things could go very wrong for you... but again, the other houses aren't for your, neither... "
By this point Raven's hands were white for her grip in the stool, and her eyes started to form tears, even when she has manage to stay still like a rock and no move even one finger, there was a little tremor that was making her body tremble and only the watchful eye could catch.
"Oh, Dear Merlyn... " pray Raven, her nerves wasn't going to last much of this uncertainty. She was ready to pass out, right there.
"Calm down, little one... this decision is not easy in your case... " assure the hat, the said to her. "Be very careful with who your put your trust, otherwise the outcome of your future will be a dark one if the secret came to light... " then another pause.
"What are you talking about? what secret?" ask Raven, mortified and confuse.
"You'll see... but remember my advice... I have decide where to put you..." answer the hat. The out loud shout. "Slytherin!"
For a few seconds Raven saw little points of light in her vision, and for a second she through that she was going to fain there, but that quickly past and her eyes suddenly were glancing at the crowd of students in the Great Hall. The table of Slytherin abruptly cheer and applause like crazy, even when she didn't know why. And Professor Mcgonagall instrucher to go and sit in her new house table.
With dread and weak knees that support her by pure miracle, Raven walk slowly to her new table, her eyes watching the free spaces in the table, there were various, 'cause not all the Slytherins of that year were sorterd yet, but she caught a place near the front, where a lanky pale guy was sitting, he had black shoulder legh hair, that look slightly greasy, and dark black eyes, her expression was indifferent and cold, and he look like he was a few years older than her.
But there was something about him that make her go, and sit beside him, even when there was others free seats away from him, she just did it. her head bowed down , with her hair falling like a curtain at either side of her face, watching intently her plate and ignoring the strange looks that she was receiving from her own house and the others all well.
She ignore the rest of the sorting, and keep focusing in the table and the strange but soothing presence of the guy sitting beside her. She didn't hear a word from the Headmaster talking and was startled when the food appear out of nowhere. Her head was a turmoil of thought and doubts about everything and anything, she didn't even notice when her plate were filed with smash potatoes and some beef, and some pumpkin juice.
Raven eat, lost in her own thought, while her turmoil and nervousness were slowly calming down, then the Headmaster rise again and start talking, but she really wasn't listening a bit, of what he was saying, her head still bowed down. But suddenly something made her rise her head a bit, and look at her right, right to the eyes of the strange boy, she note vaguely that he has a hooked nose, and he was thin, fair skin, really pale like he never see the like of the sun, and brow lightly furrowed, with this intense and speculative glance directed at her.
For a few minutes, they inspect each other silently, then their eyes found each other, locked in each other, black with dark brown, and Raven look at him and smile shyly at him, without realizing that she was doing it. Her cheeks starting to feel warm, and with horror and embarrassment she realize that she was blushing, even with her gold light tone of skin, it was pretty obvious.
Her heart was pouting hard in her ribcage, and she didn't know what to do with her anymore, so she didn't the only thing that she always do when uncomfortable, and lower her head again and let her hair fall to hide her bushing face, while the butterfly in her stomach dance like mad.
"What is this uncomfortable feeling?" thought Raven, confused, again lost in her own thought, not paying attention to her surrounding, and the conversation of her house mate around her. Just two people of all the students were in silence, lost in their our though.
And these were two Slytherin.
A girl of second year, and a boy of third year.
