Continued-
-The 1st years were lined outside the great hall as usual. The sorting hat was put on everybody to decide which house they are to be in. When Midnight’s name was called she came up quite nervously & put he hat on.
“Well, well, well- And you are Midnight Slytherin, I assume. Hm, a difficult one indeed.” Everyone was staring at Midnight curiously now, especially Slytherins.
“Hm” repeated the hat “I know who you are! You are the grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand (e.t.c)-daughter of Salazar Slytherin and Rowena Rawenclaw. Yes, oh my-“even more curious expressions filled the great hall now. Lavel, Midnight’s brother was starring, now worried.
“And correct me if I’m wrong but-“the hat paused “-you are a *Royal Blood.”
‘What?’ ’How?’ ’Her?’ ’Midnight Slytherin??’ Everyone started whispering. Lavel’s jaw dropped, so did Harry’s, Ron’s, Hermione’s and Draco’s, whose was the widest.
“Eh…I-I think you are mistaken. I can’t be a Royal Blood!” she said confused.
“Dear girl, pure-blood, related to Slytherin and Rawenclaw, pretty, nice voice, ‘talented’? You don’t get to choose what blood you’ll be, the Destiny chooses.”
“B-but, aren’t there only 7 Royal Bloods in the whole?”
“Oh yes! Indeed.”
“So, how can I be one of them?” she asked in disbelief, forgetting to be worried, the thought seemed to over whelm her.
“So why can’t you? Why do you think it’s so impossible?”
“Well, not impossible but-“the hat looked at her with a wise smile as if ‘what will your excuse be’.
“Can we please continue with the sorting? More than 1000 hungry students are waiting!” interrupted Professor McGonagall, who seemed to step out of the dream trance 1st.
“Oh, right you are!” said the hat “Well girl? I’d say you’d be fit in Slytherin the best, but since you also have other house’s blood in you, I’ll give you a choice. Well, girl?”
Midnight waited a second then said quietly, yet all hall could hear her;
“Just not in Slytherin.”
“Very Well, but I still say you would have fitted better in Slytherin, they’d be very proud to have a Royal Blood in their house. That is indeed very rare. Very Well, GRIFFI-“
“NO!” interrupted Lavel. “NO! Don’t listen to her! She’s supposed to be in Slytherin! STUPID GIRL!!! Did you hear anything father said at all?!”
“Well, I don’t really care, do I?” she yelled back at him. Lavel drew his wand out, but Midnight was 1st. “HESSAMESSA!!!!!!!!!!” she yelled and heard Hermione gasp, “Ah! How does she knows-“but too late. Lavel got struck by some sort of lightning and flew backwards and crushed into the wall.
“YOU JUST TRY & STOP ME-“
“ENOUGH!” yelled the whole stuff together “YOU DON’T WANT TO BE SUSPENDED ON YOUR 1ST DAY! LUCKY THERE ISN’T ANY POINTS TO TAKE FROM BECAUSE IT’S THE START OF THE YEAR OR GRYFFINDOR WOULD HAVE SUFFERED A 50 POINTS LOSS!!!” Midnight backed off cursing as she put her wand back where it came from.
“That’s a very advanced curse! How did you know it?” asked Hermione shocked.
“Doesn’t really matter!” Midnight said and headed towards the Gryffindor table, who were sort off late to clap. It was only a minute after she said down someone started to clap and the whole table joined in. Midnight caught a glimpse of Snape’s curious face following her, but he soon turned around.
-Finally, when the sorting was over, it might have been Midnight’s eyes playing a trick on her but she was looking at Professor McGonagall deeply in conversation with the Sorting Hat. Then Professor looked up saying:
“Yes. Indeed, very interesting. We should do just that-“her eyes found Midnight”-Ms Slytherin, over here please!”
Midnight, half worried, hurried up to Professor McGonagall. Lavel was staring at her full of loathing, a bump on his forehead.
“How may I help you, Professor?” McGonagall looked at her in surprise.
“W-well, we-that is to say me & the Sorting Hat, were wondering if you could sing us-a song.” Midnight nearly collapsed at her words.
“Me? Sing? In front of-“she pointed at the students. Professor McGonagall looked slightly uncomfortable.
“W-well, if you could, that would be wonderful. Of course, if you don’t mind. We-we just wanted to find out if you really are from Royal Race.”
“But how can I singing, solve anything?”
“Most of Royal Bloods have a beautiful voice, by far better than perfect, if there is such a thing. Now, if you don’t mind…”and without hearing Midnight’s answer, she raised her voice “ATTENTION, PLEASE! MS SLYTHERIN IS GOING TO SING FOR US, BY MY REQUEST.”
Everyone looked up at her excited and curious. Midnight however, still didn’t understand why she had to sing for the whole of great hall, does finding out if you were a Royal Blood involve singing in front of the whole school? Silence fell over the great hall and a lot of curious faces followed her foot step. She looked over at Harry, Ron and Hermione & they all nodded, smiling, fingers crossed. She took a big gasp for air and started singing-
(Freak Out by Avril Lavigne)
Her voice echoed, and even to her sounding so magnifying & charming. Her 1st time singing in front of public. She didn’t know what she was singing, she just was.
Ah! What a wonderful feeling! I don’t think I have ever felt this good! –she thought proudly. A few minutes later she stopped. Every eye on her paralysed, which was an unreadable expression & which left Midnight wondering if she did good or not. She imagined McGonagall clearing her throat, embarrassing. But the scene changed in quite a different direction; people started cheering, yelling, gasping, clapping & saying things like: ‘I’ve never heard anything so good!’
Midnight smiled and felt that she will have a lot more fun than she thought she would.
*Royal Blood- well, to be exact you’ll get the meaning in the 4th chapter which is mainly describing what it means. So in case like you (just like others) don’t understand it’s meaning (which I know you haven’t heard of before) just read chapter
4, “Royal Blood”.
Is this long enough? I hope so. I also hope you enjoyed this chapter and won’t you just love to have Midnight’s voice? But of course you never heard it so how would you know. Well, that’s all for now. Don’t forget to review people, review! ^.~
