Capítulo 2: CHAPTER 2

After a short wait, the train pulls to a stop. The drama from earlier resurfaces as I catch a glimpse of Harry and Hermione both with puffy, red eyes and Ron awkwardly attempting to comfort them with help from a giant man with a large mass of wild, shaggy hair and a scruffy black beard to compliment his enormous mane.

I tried to push the emotions to the back of my mind and focus on anything else going on around me. After a short journey I am stood in front of the most magnificent building I had ever seen. As me and the others in my year make our way to the Great Hall for the 1st years and transfer students sorting ceremony I can't help but look around, hoping to catch sight of the unusually pale boy from the platform earlier and having no such luck.

A grey haired teacher with oval spectacles perched on the tip of her nose approaches and informs me and the first years about what to do when she calls each of our names. Many names are called and I've just about fallen asleep when- "RAVEN RIDDLE!" The professor shouts out.

Anxious and trembling, I make my way up to the chair. When I sit down an unusual looking hat is placed on top of my raven black hair. Many shocked gasps escape the lips of my fellow students as they realise the name that's as called out

"SLYTHERIN!" The hat bellows and I jump in surprise at the sudden shout. Cheers erupt from a table garnished with green and silver and I make my way over to it.

I slide into my seat, hands shaking uncontrollably from the nerves and I twist my fingers in my lap when I'm interrupted by a low voice in my ear. By instinct I pull out my wand, sycamore wood with a dragon heartstring core, 12 1/2" and a quite bendy flexibility. In a matter of seconds a teacher dressed in all black with greasy, shoulder length, black hair appears beside me "Put your wand away Miss Riddle" his annoying voice drones on, his saggy face moving at an agonisingly slow pace.

I obey him and slip my wand into my robe focusing my attention on the boy next to me. Him. The blonde boy reaches out his hand and introduces himself  "Malfoy, Draco Malfoy". I accept the greeting by returning his handshake "not a surprise that you're in Slytherin, eh?" He says with a chuckle and I'm mesmerised by the way his eyes screw shut and he tilts his head back when he laughs. My father was in Slytherin.

I feel someone's eyes on me and I glance in the direction of the Gryffindor table and my eyes meet those of Hermione Granger. Despite our current situation and the fact that I'd only met her today, a blush still manages to flush my cheeks red. Draco nudges me pulling me from Hermione's gaze "someone's got a crushhh" he coos, taking the pies and imitating my expression from just moments before. "Shut up" I shove him and look back to Hermione who is now busy talking to Ron.

Me and Draco conversed until it was time to go to bed. The prefects led the new students to their dorms but I quickly snuck away in an attempt to find Harry, Ron and Hermione without getting caught. Luckily they were talking to the grey haired professor with oval glasses. I approached the trio as she walked away. Harry caught sight of me and immediately his eyes turned cold and shielded "what do you want Riddle?" He spat "I came to apologise to Hermione, I would apologise to you Harry but they were my father's actions not mine" I spoke with a false confidence.

My words triggered something deep inside of him and he cane striding towards me, wand in hand. "My parents are dead because of him!" Harry yelled and I could hear the hurt in his voice. Ron and Hermione stepped between us and managed to pry Harry's wand out of his hand and calm him down. Him and Ron turned them started walking away. "Next time Riddle, you won't be so lucky" he spat venomously before turning the corner.

I collapse onto the floor and the tears start to fall. Hermione rushes to my side and falls to her knees cradling my frail body in her lap. "I shouldn't h-ave to pay for m-y father's mistakes" I say in between gasps for air "I know Raven, it's not fair" Hermione comforts me "I'm sorry Hermione, I'm so sorry" I mumble. I'm not sure how much time passes when Hermione tells me to wake up with concern laced in her voice "I think I just saw Mrs Norris" she states worriedly. Who?

I spot a yellow glow at the end of the corridor and we both rush to our feet. Hermione clasps my hand in hers and behind to run away from the disturbance, towards her dorm.

We stumble across a painting and she mutters something to it, too quiet to hear. Abruptly it opens and we are met with a cosy looking room with an open fire. Warmth overtakes my body, a nice contrast from the icy corridors and my goosebumps sink back into my skin.

Hermione, still holding my hand, pulls me into her room, Shute the door and we slide our backs down the wood until we are sad on the floor. "Pffft" I can't help the laughter that escapes my mouth at the previous events. Hermione starts laughing too and we sit there like absolute maniacs laughing our heads off.

The laughter stops after a while and we stare into each other's eyes. I thought she was beautiful before but it was nothing compared to now. Her cheeks were red and her hair was unkempt and tangled from running. A strand falls over her face so I reach my hand out and tuck it cozily behind her ear. She shivers at my touch and I lean in closer. She looks down at my lips and mine curl into a genuine smile as I press them against hers. She kisses me back and I hold her face in my trembling hands.

She pulls away after a minute and jumps towards her bed "I um- I ..." "what is it Hermione?" I ask her, encouraging her to confide in me. "I don't like g-girls" she states and I am frozen to the spot. "Er okay" I manage to choke out and run from the room not knowing where the hell I'm even going.

Embarrassed, sad and hurt.
