Looking up and down the table he searched for a single friendly face, he spotted Hermione who was sitting on the far end of the table, Harry Potter sat next to her. He started to walk towards them but his eyes then caught someone else he knew, her icy blue eyes were watching him. Daphne Greengrass was sitting alongside another girl with mouse brown hair who Ron had never seen before. Maybe he could sit with her. No, that was a silly idea. For one she probably didn't remember him and two his father had specifically warned him about her family. Tapping Hermione on the shoulder he asked if he could sit next to her, obviously she said yes and Ron sat down. He ignored the little glances other Slytherins kept throwing towards him and he sat in silence, waiting for the sorting ceremony to end. Luckily he didn't have to wait long and soon every new student had found a house.
