The tall, big doors that led to the Great Hall opened slowly.

You couldn't believe this was happening. After the disappearance of you're mother, Katherine Pierce, words had spread that she joined Voldemort.

You're mother was known as a powerful witch, with magic and some creatures by her side---specifically dragons. She was a very well-known Slytherin, powerful magic and the power over dragons.

You, Annabeth Pierce, haven't been to Hogwarts in two years, after your mother disappeared. It was a difficult time for you and your Father, Adam Pierce. After getting things together, Albus Dumbledore agreed that you could come back to Hogwarts---it wasn't your fault your mother went insane.

You walked down the hall and sat at the Gryffindor table. You thought maybe you'd be a Slytherin like your mother, but the sorting hat said otherwise, placing you in Gryffindor on your first year. You're best friends was Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, and Ron Weasley. Of course, you was also close to Ginny Weasley, and the twins, Fred and George Weasley.

As you sat down, you got a few stares, but most people was either to scared or to embarrassed at the thought of being caught to stare long, and they went back to eating. All except one boy---Mattheo Riddle.

Ah, yes. The son of Voldemort, Anger issues, Psycho, annoyingly attractive, Mattheo Riddle. He was sitting at the Slytherin table, his dark brown curls messy in a good way, and his dark brown eyes cold, piercing , and emotionless, like you remember. His stare sent chills down your spine, it was like he was staring into your soul. His best friends was Lorenzo (you honestly didn't remember his last name), and Theodore Nott. You and Mattheo didn't talk much, besides the shared insults here and there in the corridors of the castle.

You sat by Hermione, with Harry and Ron in front of you, they already knew you was coming back this year. The eating stopped when Dumbledore spoke, his voice cutting through the noise of chatter and eating.

"If i may have you're attention, i may now begin with announcements for this year, and the introduction of new teachers.."

And he continued on, but you wasn't really listening, mostly looking around and taking in everything again. It felt like forever since you've been here, but its really only been two years.
