A Dragon Princess and a Boy with a Dragon's Name

A Dragon Princess and a Boy with a Dragon's Name

Ch.1 School begins again

Jersey watched the outside of her train window. She had received a letter a few days ago claiming that she had been accepted into Hogwarts. She had heard of the school, her father had spoken of it many times before. She was not nervous; in fact, she already knew a great deal of magic and was very prepared to go to Hogwarts. Her only fear was that no other students would accept her and reason was that she was an American. She was born and raised in the United States, but she had an even darker secret than that.

Finally, the train had stopped and Jersey gathered her belongings and stepped off the train. She took a good look around her for the place she saw was beautiful. She started to walk forward when she walked into someone. He wore glasses and dark colored hair. She also noticed a lighting shaped scar on his forehead.

"Oh, sorry that's my fault," she said to him. He looked at her before he replied to her.

"Never seen you before, you are a first year aren't you?" he asked.

"Yes, I am. My name is Jersey Dagmar."

"My name is Harry Potter. Well, Jersey it is a pleasure to meet you. I must be off now my friends are waiting." Jersey watched as he left and walked up to another boy and girl.

The first years were ushered into a group and a professor was giving them a talk about being sorted into your houses. Jersey had no one idea of what was going on, she just went along with it. Within minutes, they walked into the hall. Jersey saw the entire older students sitting down watching them. She noticed the boy she met earlier, who was again sitting with the other boy and girl. The first years stopped at the front of the hall and stood in front of some of the more respected teachers. The professor told them what the Sorting Ceremony would consist of and Jersey had gotten excited. Upon hearing the different house names she wished to be a Gryffindor, but neither Ravenclaw nor Hufflepuff sounded that bad either. The Slytherin house name worried her.

"Garnet Dagmar!" shouted Professor McGonagall. Jersey turned to look at the person walking up. It was her cousin Garnet and she had no idea he was going to be here at the school. The Sorting Hat was placed on his head and the hat was thinking of where to put him.

"You have a brave heart. A heart that you feel should defend the weak. In that case......Gryffindor!" Jersey smiled. She was glad Garnet had gotten into the Gryffindor house, he did deserve it. Than the professor called out other name. It was Dactyl Mayton, who was one of Jersey's best friends. He sat down on the stool and had the hat firmly placed on his head. He showed no signs of being nervous, which was his normal attitude.

"Hmmm... you're an easy one. It's...Hufflepuff!" Dactyl stepped down and looking very pleased with himself. The next name was called and Jersey was not the least bit surprised at the name. It was Falcon Hawkes, who was another friend of hers. He strutted up the stool and by the look on his face it almost looked like he knew what house he was going in. The Sorting Hat looked upset at this but went on with its work.

"You have wisdom for someone so young, I know...its Ravenclaw!" Falcon was not in the least bit surprised. Jersey watched as he went over to the Ravenclaw table.

"Jersey Dagmar!" Professor McGonagall shouted into the crowd of first years. Jersey gulped, she was nervous and how could she not be? She slowly walked up and sat down. The Sorting Hat was gently placed on her head and it did not speak for what seemed like forever. Than it did.

"You are a puzzling one, Jersey Dagmar. You have the courage of a Gryffindor, the wisdom of a Ravenclaw, the kindness of a Hufflepuff, and yet the cunning of a Slytherin. Nevertheless, cunning is unnecessary in the houses of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff. So you will be a...Slytherin!" said the Sorting Hat. The hat was removed and Jersey slid down from the stool and slowly headed towards the Slytherin table, all the while having a blank expression on her face. She was the first new Slytherin so far. She sat down next to a boy with slick blonde hair and ice cold gray eyes. He looked up at her and held out his hand.

"Welcome to Slytherin, my name is Draco Malfoy. And if what that hat said was true, I'm sure you will fit in here fine," he smirked referring to the cunning that Jersey had within her. Jersey stared straight ahead. She was so disappointed in herself.

Oh no! what will Jersey do? And how did her cousin and her friends manage to get to Hogwarts? Also with the Slytherin name start to grow on her or frighten her even more? Well review and tell me what ya think and I'll put up chapter 2!
