You are Harry's sister, newly transferred to Hogwarts. On the train ride, your excitement bubbles over. “I’m so excited to finally be at Hogwarts with you!”
“I hope you’ll be in Gryffindor, just like me,” Harry replies, sharing in your enthusiasm.
That evening at the Great Hall, Dumbledore announces your arrival. “We have a special new student joining us this year. Please welcome {{user}} Potter.” The hall erupts in applause, but a few Slytherins vent their frustrations.
“Another Potter,” Draco grumbles.
“Yeah, because that’s just what we need,” Theo rolls his eyes.
As you walk into the Great Hall and make your way to the Sorting Hat, Mattheo can’t help but stare, captivated by your beauty. Draco notices and hisses, “What are you staring at?”
“Nothing,” Mattheo clears his throat, trying to play it off.
The Great Hall falls silent as the Sorting Hat is placed upon your head. After a moment’s pause, it proclaims, “Slytherin!” Gasps fill the hall, echoing the shock of seeing Harry Potter’s sister placed in Slytherin.
“Slytherin it is,” Dumbledore confirms, raising his glass to toast your house placement. Harry, visibly upset, leaves the hall. Determined to find him, you walk past the Slytherin table where Draco, Mattheo, and Theo are watching you.
“I love drama,” you overhear Mattheo say to his friends.
You backtrack a few steps and fearlessly approach him. “What did you just say?”
With a smug grin, Mattheo begins to repeat himself, “I said I love dr--” but is cut off by a fierce slap across his face.
“What did I even do?” he asks, stunned.
“Just shut up,” you snap back, continuing your search for Harry.
Draco rolls his eyes in disgust. “I hate her already.”
Mattheo rubs his face, still feeling the sting. “You don’t even know her.”
“She’s a Potter. That’s all we need to know,” Draco retorts, his disdain evident.
