Alessandra got out of the boat with Cher and took in the sights around them, an ancient staircase lead up towards one of the entrances to the castle. It was hard to believe she was finally here after hearing her siblings talk so much about it.

"Have you ever seen anything so incredible Cher you can practically feel the vast history this place holds. I'm chomping at the bit to start taking classes~!" A shiver ran up her spine, nerves danced with anxiousness but also joy. Cher shook her head and looked up. "I haven't it's like something out of a dream my family's manor is nothing compared to this and to think in just a few moments we'll be in the great hall being placed into our houses~!"

The group starts to move into the school and up several more flights of stairs. Alessandra looked all around taking in everything she wanted to remember these moments for as long as she lived. She bumped into the person in front of her when the crowd came to a sudden stop. A witch with a tall hat that had feathers coming off of it stood at the top of the stairs. She was elderly but her eyes did not betray such a stern expression adorned her face but there was a motherly quality to it as well. Long black flowing robes wrapped around her body the sleeves shifted with each movement this must have been professor Minerva Mcgonagall Valarica's favorite professor. She cleared her throat and looked down upon them.

"Welcome to Hogwarts in a few moments you'll walk through those door and join your classmates however, before being seated you must be sorted into your houses. While here your houses will become like your family and you will gain points based on good upstanding behavior and lose points based on poor behavior, at the end of the year a house cup will be awarded to the house that scored the most points. Now follow me into the great hall where a welcome feast has been prepared~"

She turns and starts towards the doors opening them, before breezing down the hallway they come to a pair of huge doors and they slowly open as the professor walks through. Alessandra looks all around the hall before turning her gaze upwards, the ceiling was enchanted to look like the night sky and candles floated in the air illuminating the starry blackness of the ceiling. Her eyes traced the long tables on either side of her and each one seemed to correspond to a house, at the head of the room sat the teachers banquet table in the center sat what must have been the head master. She looked to the far left of the hall and saw Draco and Blaise sitting there with the fat trolls and a girl who had short black hair.

"Alright children stop and get in line, before we begin the headmaster would like to say a few words~" She stood off to the side as the man in the middle of the teachers table stood. He looked ancient but had a twinkle of mischief in his blue eyes his long grey beard reached his lower chest. His robes were grey yet had ornate designs along with a grey hat upon his head.

"Welcome students before we commence with the sorting I have a few rules I must inform you of as well as an announcement. I believe I should introduce myself first however Albus Dumbledore is my name and I am the headmaster of Hogwarts. Now onto the announcement we have a new defense against the dark arts professor Gilderoy Lockhart~" they all applauded but Alessandra is of the mind seeing skill is believing as opposed to drummed up reputation. "The dark forest is strictly off limits and i would take head of this warning least you die a horrible death~" Alessandra frowns she had so been looking forward to spending time in the forest where she could put her gifts into practice. "I now give you back to Professor Mcgonagall best of luck to you all~"

Professor Mcgonagall opens the scroll she had been carrying with her and then looked back towards them. "When I call your name please have a seat on the stool then I'll place the sorting hat upon your head. Cher Connery~!" Cher walked forward slowly and then took a seat on the stool the sorting hat was placed down upon her head. "Hmm lets's see here it will have to be Slytherin~!" Alessandra remains quite as students go before her she was starting to wonder if the torture would ever end finally she heard her name. "Alessandra Ibris~!" She takes a deep breath and mumbles to herself quietly. "You can do this there isn't anything to be nervous about~" she slides onto the stool slowly and then feels the hat being placed on her head. The hat began to tilt forward in thinking. "What to do with you well this is wholly unique I haven't seen this in a very long time. You have all the wit and creativity of Ravenclaw, all the patience and loyalty of a Hufflepuff. Bravery and chivalry runs deep in your heart but I also sense a cunning and ambition tell tale marks of a Slytherin~" the sat sits quietly atop her head for another five minutes going into intense hat stall. The hate then slowly opened its mouth. "I cannot In good conscious place you therefore I turn it over to your professors~"

Alessandra could hear the whispers around the hall some were of excitement others fear and uncertainty. Professor Dumbledore stood from his position at the table and nodded to Professor Mcgonagall. "Professor please go retrieve the house crest bag it would seem we have a very rare opportunity or rather the young miss does~" Mcgonagall leaves the room and comes about about ten minutes later with a well worn bag. It writhes in the professors hand and then stills once passed over to Professor Dumbledore. He turns to her and offers her the bag. "You have an exceptionally unique opportunity the ability to chose your house wether that be by random draw or personal selection the choice is yours~" she closed her eyes and thought for a few moments about what she really wanted, she had to prove muggle borns could be successful in Slytherin house she had to change people no matter the personal cost. Her hand moved around the bag until it found something cold and thin she then slowly drew it out revealing it to all. "Slytherin~!"

Draco meanwhile sat transfixed upon what just happened it was unheard of and to think she would pick Slytherin even though she could go anywhere. He heard Blaise chomping away on some chicken legs. "I always knew she would break the sorting hat I bet Neveah ten galleons I'll have to collect later. She's really one of a kind Draco and could probably be of great use to our house~" 

She heads over to the Slytherin table and goes to sit by Draco and Blaise when she feels herself getting knocked down the young lady from before stood over her. She had short pageboy brown hair and a face that looked similar to a pug. "Just what do you think your doing to my drakie you think just because your "Special" it gives you permission to even speak to him the audacity of it all~!" Alessandra slowly stands and then brushes herself off. "I don't think there is a sign where you claim ownership over Draco and please Drakie it's enough to make my stomach twist try talking like an adult~" The girl growled and rose her hand to strike Alessandra. "That's enough Parkinson sit down your making the whole house look like a bunch of ignorant apes~"

She steps back and frowns at Draco before taking her seat further down the table this allowed Alessandra to sit beside Draco,Blaise was on his right side and he snickered. "I told you that your personality couldn't be contained to a single house and now Neveah owes me your a bet saver Alessandra~!" She rolled her eyes playfully. "Only for you Blaise only for you what about you Draco are you excited for this year~?" She noticed his gaze was unfocused like he was in his own little world.

"Huh oh I don't really get excited however I am the Slytherin seeker so that's something and I will improve even further so I can finally beat that ponce Potter~!" She casually blinked and then looked over to where Harry was sitting with Hermione and Ron. "Is there some kind of problem I don't know about Harry seems like a descent guy~?" Draco's eye subtly started twitching. "Oh there is plenty wrong with Potter for starters he hangs out with undesirables and he goes about like he's the savior of the wizard race it makes me sick~!"

Blaise sighs upon hearing this. "Don't pay any mind to Draco he's always had it out for Potter and his friends but you never know what might happen. I would be happy to have Potter in my corner~" Draco growls and turns towards Blaise. "Alright you that's enough we do not associate with Potter that's the rule~!"

While they bickered she began serving herself all manner of delicious dishes it was like a dream come true. "You know if you keep arguing your not going to get anything to eat and then you'll both go to bed cranky and hungry~" Blaise shot towards the spoons and began serving himself, this was one of the meals he refused to miss out on. It was like watching someone with super-speed.  Draco began to serve himself and her gaze traveled down the table finding the trolls and Parkinson stuffing their faces in the most grotesque of manners. "I think I'm going to be ill excuse me~"

She walked out of the looking around for the women's restroom, her eyes scanned the wall for any type of map and a sigh of relief escaped her when she found it. She began heading towards it and the halls were eerily quite save all for a very quiet hissing and the rumble of some pipes. It was probably just the old pipes in the school acting up that's all it was there isn't anything to be scared of. She heads to the restroom and finishes her business, when she comes out the hissing was louder and it made her uneasy she quickened her steps back towards the great hall almost breaking into a run as it got louder and louder. She rounded a corner and that's when something jumped out from behind a pillar so she threw a punch in fear.

"Bloody hell woman ah my face~?!" Her heart rate started to slow and her eyes widened when she saw it was Draco. "What the hell was that Draco you don't have anyone to blame but yourself lurking in dark corridors to ambush first years unbelievable~!" He held his nose. "First of all I was coming to check on you second of all you didn't have to punch me in the face now it's ruined my good looks are gone~" Alessandra rolled her eyes. "Honestly i find it to be an improvement over the base form and it's probably not permanent there is always magic~"

The hissing returns and she looks around before looking to Draco. "Do you hear that or is it just my imagination running wild~?" He listens closely then the pipes start to shake violently. "Yeah no that's not your imagination let's head back to the hall I don't like this~" he grabs her smaller hand and starts sprinting back towards the great hall fearing it was a ghost playing mean spirited tricks on them like Peeves the Poltergeist. They got back safely and then took deep breaths before looking around.

"We made it back to the hall, maybe it was just our imagination anyway soon the feast will end and the perfects will lead you to the houses. It's going to be a interesting year that's for sure I wonder  what may be in store for Slytherin house~"  She nods slowly. "For some reason I don't feel like it's going to be anything pleasant~"
