Chapter 5
"Slytherin!"
The hat was lifted off of my head, while cheers erupted from the Slytherin table. I took my time walking over there, real happiness and confidence radiating off of my face. Draco grinned and gestured to the seat next to him, which I gladly took while Pansy tried to burn me alive with her eyes.
"I see you were right." Draco said, turning to face me "You did make it in Slytherin."
"Of course I did." I replied playfully, "You should know, this house would never survive with out my beautiful face." I fanned my face with my hand.
Draco laughed, "Hm you sure about that? Because I believe it's the Malfoy power that is going to keep this place going."
"Wanna bet?"
He laughed again, "Sure, I don't see the harm in that. But you do know that I will win right?"
My eyebrow rose up a bit, "Nah don't think so."
"Whatever helps you sleep at night blue eyes."
"I'll sleep soundly, because I'm positive im going to win. I have yet to loose a bet." The truth is, I never actually betted before. Well, I guess I didn't lie..because I never lost, but I never won either.
"Let's make this bet last say, hmm till we leave Hogwarts? The end of our finale year?" Draco asked, I nodded "Sounds good, and if I win...you can replace Gwen for a day."
He narrowed his eyes, "Who's Gwen?"
"My personal house elf."
Nodding Draco turned his eyes towards the headmaster, who was giving some speech. "If I win, well, I'll decide my payment when I do."
_________________________________
We feasted on hundreds of delicious foods and spoke thousands of words that each student could hardly remember with the exhaustion leaking into their body's. I was in my dorm room, which I shared with Daphne, Pansy and some a quiet girl whos name is unknown to me. My roommates were already asleep while I was wide awake, laying on my new bed staring at the top, or should I say bottom of the canopy bed roof.
Our room was kinda big, not nearly as big as my room at home though. The windows were draped in a dark green silk, along with the sheets and curtains on the beds. The trunks holding our things were at the foot of our beds, resting atop the dark wooden flooring. Pansy's loud snores filled the room.
I got up and went to the bathroom where I brushed my teeth and slipped into a dark nightgown before heading down the stairs into the common room. A certain mop of white-blonde hair caught my eye. I snuck up slowly behind the figure and whispered in his ear, "Boo."
Draco shot up in the air looking around quickly to find the culprit, his eyes soon found me, laughing my head off and clutching my stomach.
"What the hell Trixie!" He yelled, anger screaming from his eyes. "I-im sorry Draco, I c-couldn't h-help myself."
Draco was pissed. You could practically see steam blowing out of his ears, his face was bright red. Which didn't look good with his hair, I laughed more.
Eventually he calmed a bit and turned towards the stairs, "My father will hear about this!" Tears sprung into my eyes as I continued laughing, it was just to funny. Aww he's gonna cry to daddy!!
Soon after I walked back up into my own dorm and laid on my bed falling into a dreamless sleep.

Daphne shook me awake the next morning announcing that I had to get up and eat. "C'mon Trixie! It's the first day! You can't spend it laying around."
"Watch me"
She pushed me out of the bed, "Daphne!" I groaned while she smirked. "I told you to get up."
While mumbling curses under my breath I went over to my trunk and got out my clothes before and changed, then I brushed my unruly hair and teeth.
Together me and Daphne walked towards the great hall, where Draco and Pansy waited for us. Pansy showed her hatred for me without any worry, it was quite funny actually seeing her face in such a disgusted look. I'm just waiting for the day when she cannot remember how to get it back to normal.
Daphne sat next to Pansy and I took my seat next to Draco. His anger from last night mist have worn off, because he didn't seem to show it to me yet. We ate random food items that were littering the table, there was just too much to choose from! Waffles, cereal, pancakes, bacon, there was no end. I was just finishing the last of my milk when Professor Snape, the head of the Slytherin house, gave out our turntables.
Before I had the chance to read mine, Draco ripped it from my hands and compared it to his. "Potions, History of Magic, Transfiguration, Herbology, Defense Against The Dark Arts, Astronomy and charms, flying lessons. All the same classes."
I was given back my timetable and watched Draco strut off towards the commons again probably to go get ready for class. Pansy, Goyle and Crabbe soon followed, right after he stuffed another pastry in his mouth. Daphne sat and talked to some of the second years next to her while I stared off into space, until a single tap on my shoulder brought me back. "Is this seat taken?" The other girl from my dorm asked, gesturing to Dracos abandoned chair.
"No, go ahead."
The girl sat, her black hair flew behind her. She let her green eyes look at me. "Scarlett Cursefyre,"
I looked at her confused, "What?" She giggled, "My name's Scarlett Cursefyre,"
"Oh right," I murmured, turning away. "Trixie Roseblood."
She nodded and ate in silence, the awkwardness was starting to get to me so I left to the commons. I figured I might as well get ready for class too. My feet slowly brought me to the entrance, I said the password and walked inside then up the stairs to the girls dorm. Grabbing my small bag, I shoved in a few textbooks and went right back out the door. I was just about to leave the commons went Draco stopped me. "Hey Trix, wanna walk together?" He said, "Sure"
We walked towards our potions class to see that almost every Slytherin first year was there. Draco found a small table in the back that he, Goyle, Crabbe and some guy named Blaise I think sat at. While me, Pansy, Daphne and Scarlett sat at the table in front of them. More students walked in and hastily took their seats, Professor Snape came in last. He blabbed some nonsense and we read a few chapters in our book, nothing interesting in the class, except for the glares and quiet curses Draco sent to a certain Harry Potter and his friends.
