Daphne slept like a rock. Slept through all her calls from Katherine and Lucas. She did stay up all night to go to her fathers library and studied almost all the potion books that he had. Books tossed around the room. The snoring girl was awaken by her nanny who shook her.

"What!" She jumped up, wiping her drool off her cheek.

"You slept all day! Get dressed! We have to leave!" Katherine started picking up the books and stacking them on her desk. Daphne jumped out of bed and changed. Lucas was waiting outside with her bags as The two ran around the house to look for Morticia, the black cat. They finally found her, Daphne carried her all the way to the station, Lucas directing her, and Katherine stayed behind Daphne with her cases. Finally, Kings Cross Station. Katherine gave a man my belongings to put in the train. "Alright dear." She fixed my hair. "You be good okay? Everything will be alright. Ill send you letters everyday. Do good in your classes." I nodded. I was going to miss her. I tried not to cry. "Remember, your father will be waiting for you."

"Yes Katherine." The last whistle blew. My head snapped at her.

"Come here." She hugs me. I held on tight. "Good luck. Ill see you when you come back." She kissed my head and helped me up the train.

"You be good you hear. Make me proud."

"Yes Lucas." I hugged him. "Goodbye Katherine. Goodbye Lucas."

"Ooh Daphne." She chuckled. "Lets not say goodbye, how about, see you soon?"

"See you soon." They waved goodbye. I held Morticia as I was finding a seat. I opened the door and sat down. Finally. I set Morticia down, petting her.

"Snape." Pansy joins me. We shook hands. Morticia hissed at her, making her jump.

"Now now Morticia." I calmed her down. Zabini came in as well. They are the only friends I had. I didn't like the others, just these two are enough.

"Ladies." Zabini sits next to me. "Long time no see."

"Did you hear?" Pansy comments. I frowned. "Harry Potter is here."

"The Harry Potter? The boy who lived?" I leaned towards her. "It cant be."

"Word has it, he's on this train. A few rooms down." I gave her a wicked smile. Harry Potter. Hm. How wonderful this year is gonna be. We spent our time reading or even eating our new candies. The train stops. We hurried to the window.

"Wow!" We awed. One by one, we all got out of the train and into the platform. One of the helpers took Morticia from me. "Be careful, shes a scratcher." We huddled around the tall man.

"Alright! This way!" The group of students followed him. A short walk to the boats to take us into Hogwarts. Daphne, Pansy, Blaise, and others rocked the boat side by side, laughing. They all got off, sent to put on their robes. Other students waited at the corridor, waiting to let us in. We were waited by Professor McGonagall.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, now shortly, you'll pass through these doors and join your classmates. But before you take your seats, you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin." I gave Blaise a smirk. I just know ill be going into Slytherin. "While you're here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you points. Any rule breaking and you will lose points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points wins the house cup."

"Trevor!" Longbottom yelled out and went for its toad. Everyone laughed. "Sorry."

"The sorting ceremony will begin momentarily." Then she walks away.

"Its true then, what they been saying on the train. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts." A blonde boy smirked. Everyone gasped as they heard the name. I made my way up to the front, watching the boys. "This is Crabbe and Goyle. And im Malfoy." Malfoy walks up the boy, Harry Potter. "Draco Malfoy." Pansy stepped on my robe, making me give her a death glance. That Draco Malfoy is something else. The red hair boy snickers. "Think my names funny, do you? Ive no need to ask yours. Red hair and a hand me down robe? You must be a Weasley." Draco turns back at Harry. "You'll find out some Wizarding families are better than others. You don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there." He sticks his hand out.

"I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself, thanks." Potter rejected his hand. I made my way up to them. Everyone gasped.

"Potter, I've heard a lot about you." I smirked. Draco stepped back, taking a look at who just pushed him aside. The scar boy looked at me. "Dont mind him, doesn't know his manners. I can help you." He stared at me with aw. The green eyed boy looked at the black eyed girl, thinking, she was beautiful. Most beautiful girl he has ever seen.

"Your name is?" He squinted his eyes.

"Names Daphne Snape." I puffed out my chest.

"You're Professor Severus Snape's daughter." The Weasley gulped. I snapped a look at him.

"How many of you Weasleys are there?" I rolled my eyes. I focus on Potter. "Its a pleasure meeting you Harry Potter." I stuck out my hand. He just looks at it. "Come on now, can't keep a girl waiting, it's rude you know." Potter eventually took my hand. "Great then."

"I know my manners." He takes back his hand. "Like I said, i can tell which are the wrong sorts." Oooh. Feisty. I like him. We both stared at each other for a while until I felt eyes on me. I looked up at Draco.

"What are you looking at Malfoy?" He looked back to Crabbe and Goyle.

"We're ready for you now. Follow me." Professor McGonagall calls out. I wiped my hair back and walked with Pansy and Blaise to the room.

"I like her." I heard from behind. All the upperclassmen sitting, watching us come in. I saw my father sitting in front. I gave him a smile, he nodded back.

"Wait along here please." She stops us. "Now, before we begin, Professor Dumbledore would like to say a few words." The man rises from the main table.

"I have a few start of term notices I wish to announce. The first years please note that the dark forest is strictly forbidden to all students. Also, our caretaker, Mr. Filch." He nods in the back, and the ragged old man with a cat with red eyes. "Has asked me to remind you that the 3rd floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death. Thank you."

"When I call your name, you will come forth, I shall place the sorting hat on your head, and you will be sorted into your houses." McGonagall picks up the sorting hat and started to read the list. "Hermione Granger." I squinted my eyes at her. The new mudblood. Granger started talking to herself as she went up.

"Mental." I whispered to Blaise, who chuckled at my comment. Granger sat down, putting on the hat.

"Ah, right then..." he thought aloud." hmm...right. Okay...Gryffindor!!" Everyone from Gryffindor cheered . I Rolled my eyes. Granger jumps off with a smile, heading to house table.

"Draco Malfoy." Draco saunters up proudly. The tattered hat nearly freaks before touching down on Dracos head.

"SLYTHERIN!" Draco smiled and ran to the table. A few students went up, Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws, some more Gryffindors.

"Daphne Snape." The crowd went silent. Blaise patted me on the back as I stepped up. I hopped on the chair, crossing my legs, sitting up straight. Professor McGonagall put the hat on me.

"Hmm." The sorting hat hums. "You gotta lot of mischievous in your blood. But youre curious. But again, you're filled with ambition, cunning, you're even clever. Father like daughter." I sat up proud. "SLYTHERIN!" The table cheered. Potters eyes fell as I was sorted into Slytherin. I met up with Malfoy by the end of the table. I saw my father clapping his hands. He was proud.

"Draco Malfoy." I said as I sat down across from him.

"Daphne Snape." We both smirked. We waited for others to join. Pansy, Blaise, Crabbe and Goyle joined us.

"Harry Potter." we all looked at him. Everyone goes silent. Harry walks up and sits down.

"Hmm...difficult, very difficult. Plenty of courage I see, not a bad mind, either. There's talent, oh yes, and a thirst to prove yourself. But where to put you?"Potter was whispering to himself, closing his eyes. "Not Slytherin, eh? Are you sure? You could be great, you know. Its all here in your head. And Slytherin will help you on your way to greatness! There's no doubt about that! No?" He kept whispering to himself. "Well, if youre sure...better be...GRYFFINDOR!!" There is an immense cheering and Harry goes to the Gryffindor table. If I was honest, i really thought he would be one of us. We all got to know each other, talking and laughing. A dinging sound caught all of our attention.

"Your attention, please."

"Let the feast...begin." Food magically appears on all the tables, and the hall is filled with laughter and awe. We dig in as if we haven't eaten in days. I went for some chicken. Numerous ghosts come pouring from the walls, sailing along.

"Welcome to Slytherin." One greeted us. After the hall, we were following one of the Slytherins prefects to our common rooms.

"Keep up, we dont want to lose you." We got onto the staircase. I looked around, the moving paintings. Absolutely beautiful. "This is the most direct path to the dormitories. Oh, and keep an eye on the staircases...they like to change." We all stayed as the staircase moved. The smiles on our faces. We followed down a staircase from the Dungeon Corridor

"Welcome to Hogwarts." They greeted us. We approached to our dorms.

"Horace Slughorn." He greeted. His picture moved.

"Password?"

"Pure Blood." The painting opened, revealing the common room. We were all at awe. "Gather 'round here. Welcome to the Slytherin Common Room. Boys' dormitories, upstairs and down to your left. Girls, the same on your right. You'll find that your belongings have already been brought up." We all ran into our dorms. The girls laughed as they found our belongings. I ran to mine. On my side table, there was a glass cage with a note.

Proud of you. You deserve a gift.
-father

I looked inside. It was the black snake I wanted from yesterday. I laughed as I picked it up. Pansy and the other girls were looking.

"Im gonna name you Lucifer." I set him down, and got ready for bed. My uniform was perfectly made on my chair, ready for tomorrow. We all said goodnight and turned off the lights. Im really excited.
