<em>"Remedios Lestrange." The old woman with the tight bun called from the front of the hall. A tiny head of white blonde hair pushed through the line of first years. The girl pale as snow, lips bright red from chewing on them nervously, and cheeks pink with embarresment. She stared at her feet as she walked to a stool with a tattered looking hat on it. The professor lifted it up and Remedy sat down quickly, not wanting the woman to tell her to hurry up like a few other first years. The woman placed the hat upon her head and she sat in anticipation. When a voice that was not her own spoke inside her head her bright, ocean blue eyes widened in surprise.<br/><br/>"<strong>Another one? Is your family starting a band?</strong>" The hat, or at least she hoped it was the hat, inquired rhetorically. Though Remedy knew she should be hoping to be in Slytherin, as was accustomed in her family, she was internally pleading to be anywhere but. She was absolutely terrified of snakes, she couldn't wear one on her. Ravenclaw would be nice. She did think of herself as smart. She read tons of books. Hufflepuff wouldn't be bad either. She had heard they were nice, although her brothers called them useless oafs. Gryffindor would be tragic. She'd probably be disowned. "<strong>No snakes or lions? But my dear you would do great things in either. It's your heart that shows what you truly desire, however. You have the heart of a lion.</strong><br/><br/>Remedy was beginning to think this hat was completely mad. Before she had a moment to try and figure out what it meant, the voice was out of her head and bouncing off the Great Hall walls. "<strong>GRYFFINDOR!</strong><br/><br/>Before a single person could bring their hands together a red light spiraled out from the crowd hitting Remedy between the eyes. The hall was completely silent; no one spoke. It felt like hours she was staring at the shocked faces of students but it was only seconds before Remedy heard a hissing in her ear. The girl's blue eyes met yellow and she bolted screaming from the hall.</em><br/><br/>Remedy jumped about a mile in the air as if she had imagined falling off a bed. She always ended up doing that when she dozed off in public. The dream was a memory of course, and she remembered she said shee would talk to her brothers. What a great way to be reminded.<br/><br/>She placed her kitten on the seat beside Peter. She felt a little bad because the boy looked terrified of the tiny animal but this was important.<br/><br/>"Oi, Marauders. Don't hurt my kitten!" Remedy demanded. Just as she spoke, Gryna had entered the compartment. "Perfect! Gryna please come in! Would you be a doll and please make sure these savages don't harm my baby? I hate to be rude but I'll be right back. Just have to get something out of the way." After excusing herself she left the apartment and entered the hallway beginning down it. She casually peeked in all the compartments as she made her way through the train.<br/>
