Athena Hawthorne

"-new student will be joining us for the rest of the
year-"

I assumed that was the head master, Dumbledore I think? Any ways that doesn't matter because right now I was behind the two large doors to the great hall. I'm a nervous wreck right now I started to tune out the other noise when Dumbledore shouted "I'd now like to welcome the new first year students as well as  Athena Hawthorne!"

Great. I thought now everyone knows who I am.

But I didn't have time to think of that anymore because Professor Mcgonagall ushered us out the doors into the great hall. I couldn't help but look around.

God it was gorgeous. The ceiling are so fucking cool,   It mirrors the sky outside which is insane, and the tall ceilings, and the floating candles are just the icing on the cake. Though to be honest it terrifying being up here in front of hundreds of people but i just have to ignore that.

While I'm up here I might as well enjoy the view, its so cool seeing all the houses separated like this. In my old school Ilvermorny i was a Thunderbird so im curious as to what I'll get here "Hawthorne, Athena"

Shit what's happening? Oh. Ya, never mind.

I confidently walk up to the stool and sit down.

"Hmm very difficult, very, very, difficult" the hat thought out loud "a Hawthorne I see  destined for great, great things, you are very intelligent but you're also cunning and, hmmm, ambitious" the hat briefly paused "very well then, BETTER BE SLYTHERIN!" The hat shouted out.

I was so excited I walked over to the table that was clapping and cheering and made my way over to my new friends.

"Hey sorry about earlier I just don't associate myself with others if they aren't Slytherin" Draco admitted sticking his hand out for me to shake.

"Oh haha no worries"

Pansy was sitting on my right Blaise on my left, Theo was directly across with Enzo on his right and Matteo on his left and Draco beside Enzo.

The six of us just chatted the most of the meal when Draco and Enzo split into conversation. Theo wasn't fazed and just kept eating and Matteo was just glowering at Blaise for Merlin only knows why.

So I quietly whispered making sure Pansy and Blaise were the only ones in earshot and asked "what's Matteo's deal?" Blaise just shrugged and began to eat. So I turned to Pansy Hoping she'd have an answer she just whispered this back "I don't 100% percent but I'll look into it and get back to you". Which confused me even more then I already was.

After dinner

The seven of us all walked to the dungeons. Once we got to the door Enzo mumbled the password which just so happened to be 'pureblood'.

We all piled into the common room and sitting on the couches. I was squished between Theo on my right, Enzo on his right and Draco on my left and Blaise on his left. Pansy sat on the opposing couch and Matteo found a chair to sit on.

"Guys why are you all squishing onto this coach there's literally one on the other side of us?"

"Because we love you" Draco teased dragging out the 'o' in love.

"I love you guys too but not this much" I giggled

"You should be honoured I don't love anyone" Draco said fake sniffling and whipping away a tear.

"What ever" I laughed.

10 pm

"Well I'm off to bed" I yawned.

"Me too I think I'll come with you" Pansy said stretching.

We walk up the stairs and down the hall and pull up to a dark wood door with a number 5 on it.

"Well this is us" Pansy started, pushing the door open "this is your bed she points to a bed towards the back left hand side. "And this one is mine" pointing to the only other bed on the room.

"Thanks. How'd all my stuff get up here?"

"They put all of our trunks in here during the feast"

"Oh that's so cool" I said

Next morning

Its roughly 6:30 a.m and I am being rudely awaken by a yelling Pansy trying to drag me out of bed. "Get your ass out of bed this is the third time I've tried to wake you, NOW." She shrieked

"Okay, okay I'm going, I'm going jeez" she glares at me  "okay, okay I surrender" raising my arms over my head. Grabbing my things and running to the showers.

After my shower Pansys sitting on her bed "hurry up I'm starving" she whines

"Okay just give me a sec I need to brush my hair"

When we walked into the great hall we were met by familiar faces.

"Hey guys" I smile as I sit next to Theo

"Hi" they all said except for Matteo

"So what classes does everyone have first? I've got herbology"

"Same"

I looked around to see who said that when my eyes land on Matteo. Great.

"Since I still don't know my way around school would you mind walking with me?" I ask Matteo.

"Whatever" he mutters.

***

We're walking to herbology when I ask "so what's your deal?"

"What do you mean 'what's my deal'?" Matteo asked snarkily

"I mean I've been here for two days and you've barely looked my way what's that about?"

"You know not everything's about you" he snaps and walks off

"Never said it was" i muttered to myself
