'How can I not, with all the grief in this world.' I thought, before letting the hat continue on it's tirade.
"Hush, you! Let an old hat think, hmm... You're certainly loyal enough for Hufflepuff.. but your trust issues would make it nearly impossible for you to accomplish your goals in that house... You're brave enough for Gryffindor certainly, and you have no problem helping others out, but you insist on them paying you back in some way. A trait that would not be well received in that house... You're more than smart enough for Ravenclaw, but your lack of passion for learning itself without the motive of revenge would make that house impossible for you. Not to mention they're far to unsociable for you to make connections there...Slytherin would suit you fine though, your cunning, perhaps to ambitious for your own good, and you'll go to any means to achieve what you want...Yes, I think Slytherin, don't you?"
I chuckled lightly, 'So I get a choice?'
"Not at all, not at all." It whispered into my mind, before shouting loudly, "SLYTHERIN!" as I went to pick it off my head, it said "Good luck achieving your goals child." I laughed lightly, a genuine smile lighting up my face.
'Thank you Mr. Hat, thank you.' I heard it laugh as I finished pulling it off my head and passed it to the small professor. Before swirling dramatically towards the table overshadowed by green and silver banners. My smile slipped down to a slight grin, my eyes tightening calculatingly, as I stared at the table clapping loudly. I sat down in a place by the end of the table, a chatty older student to my left, an empty spot to my right. I would have scooted down another seat to avoid the ceaseless chatter, but she had latched her attentions onto me now, and all I could do was sit still and nod occasionally, giving a smile when she asked for my opinion. When the food finally came I was relieved, and began piling a small amount of food onto my plate. Now entirely ignoring the people around me. All that mattered now was the food, and my plans to conquer my relatives. That doesn't mean I didn't look around a bit, a boy with long hair nearby who seemed to be contemplating something. Ah well, what he does is his business, as long as he stays out of mine.

"UDESULINE NA'BADRA" a voice rang out, bursting through her daze like a finger to a fragile bubble. she blinked, unsure for a moment of what to do. "huh? oh.. right. my apologies." she piped, now aware that many eyes were in her direction as she began to gracefully make her way up the few steps that seperated her from the cap. her heart skipped a beat, as it touched her head. "aaah yes, there is no doubt about this one." it hissed. "SLYTHERIN!" and, within moments it was removed. she stood infront of the crowd as they clapped and motioned her over, yet she continued to remain in place for a few seconds longer. "as it should be." she muttered to her self, and then off she went to join the rest - her eyes scanning the many faces around her, as she sat. although it hadn't felt like it just yet, this was now her new home. something certainly unfamiliar.

as they entered the commons she stopped, slowly taking everything in as she looked about. a painting of a woman pouring water from a jug, caught her attention for a few moments before she heard a voice speak up. it was the boy with beautiful hair, from before. udesuline grew red in the face, for she felt almost embarrassed. she had hoped that he hadn't seen her staring so intensely at him earlier, and was relieved when he was just simply introducing himself. "ah, of course." she said with a small heart warming smile, the first since she arrived. "i am udesuline. na'badra.. udesuline na'badra." she stopped for a moment, there was a slight awkwardness in the way she had worded that. but, she brushed it off. "it's a pleasure to meet you, zed." growing silent as she waited for his response, unsure of what to say next. usually she just remains silent and observed the world from a safe distance, but today felt different. new, if you will. the fact that others were willing to go out of their way to get to know others was oddly inspiring, in a way. acceptance and comfort were two things she lacked in her life.

"Hello there, I'm Draco Malfoy." I smiled. "I know, we spoke on the train. Remember?" Draco smiled and nodded. "Ah, yes. Now I remember. Leah Woodwind."
As we all ate dinner, I continued to sneak food for Shadow. I didn't care if anyone saw me or not, I just needed to feed him. As I was about to feed him chicken, he wandered somewhere else, to the girl sitting next to me. "Shadow!" I hissed. Shadow saw the food in my hand and trotted to me. "Good boy," I whispered, stroking his head. I glance at the girl, then I nudge Draco. "Hey Draco, who is she?" I pointed at the girl next to me. "I don't know. Why don't you ask for her name."
"No! Me and other girls don't get along well..." I hissed quietly. "Oh, okay then." He says, continuing to eat. I chuckled and nudged him. "Hey Draco," He looked at me. "What is it Leah?"
"Um... I just wanted to say that..." I could feel my face turn red. "I'm glad that you wanted to be my friend, even though you barely know me..." Draco smiles. "No problem Leah. And I don't mind that I barely know you. When I first saw you, you seemed nice enough to be friends with." I smiled at him like I would do any other friend. It was very hard to see Draco smile, that has to be the first time I've seen him smile to me personally.
"Meow," Shadow meowed, wanting attention. "Urg," I pick him up and put him in my lap. "Spoiled cat..." Draco looked down and saw my cat. "Leah, you know you're not supposed to take you pets to the table." I shrugged "So, I mean, I need to feed him and he won't eat cat food." Draco nods, understanding.
