Whispers of Fate Chapter 1

Instructions

Chapter one: I sat by my sister on the Train compartment. My sister was playing with her cat, Niki. I just sat down and read, I enjoyed reading, especially about important things like potions, transfiguration and charms. My parents want me to be in Ravenclaw, obviously they did, but I didn't. I'd pretty much do anything to displease my parents. My sister however would do the opposite. She wanted to please them, perhaps to earn their love? I would tell her that's impossible, I doubt my parents had any love for anyone but their selves. "Stella, what house do you think you will be in?" My sister asks me. I thought for a minute, "Gryffindor, or Slytherin." Annemarie tilted her head, "What's wrong with Ravenclaw?" "Nothing, I just don't want to please our parents." I said shrugging. "You should at least try!" Annemarie started "But I don't want to," I said, lifting my chin up, "I am going to be a Gryffindor or Slytherin and no one can stop me." My sister sighs putting her hands up, "Alright, but mother and father will be mad." I shrugged, "I don't care." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When we arrived to the castle an older lady was there. She told us her name was "Professor McGonagall" and told us to wait as she called our name for the sorting. I watch the students in my year, there were plenty who stood out like that red-haired boy. (probably a Weasley) I stood and wait my turn. After some girl name "Hermione Granger" got sorted into Gryffindor it was my sister's turn. "Goldenrod, Annemarie." Professor McGonagall called My sister nervously rose from the crowd of students and walked up to the stool. Professor McGonagall lowered the hat onto her head. It fell over her eyes. After a minute it yelled, "RAVENCLAW!!!" I could tell my sister was happy, but it was my turn now. "Goldenrod, Stella." I gulped and walked up to the stool letting the hat fall over my eyes touching my nose slightly. "Hmmm quite clever eh? But brave as well... You would do well in Ravenclaw..." the sorting hat mused "Please not Ravenclaw!" I begged "No? You do have great determination... better be SLYTHERIN!" There was a loud cheer from Slytherin. I was happy I walked toward the Slytherin table sitting down, waving at her sister. I watched the rest of the sorting, Draco Malfoy was sorted into Slytherin soon after me, following Harry Potter and Ron Weasley (I knew that red-headed boy was a Weasley!) After all this the feast began, and I started filling my plate. Tonight was the best night of my life
