In The Blink Of A Crinkling Eye (Everything Has Changed)

After a summer spent at the Dursleys with little to no contact with the Wizarding World, Harry is exhausted. He's been attacked by Dementors, his cousin got hurt and just to add insult to injury, Harry is stuck with an angry Vernon Dursleys for the rest of the summer. Oh, and he needs to be resorted, because while he doesn't love the drama, the drama loves him.The Sorting Hat finally gets his way and a newly sorted Slytherin Harry Potter must now navigate new allies, old friendships and new enemies, all while surviving the O.W.L. year, the second most important year of wizarding education.Maybe getting expelled wouldn't have been so bad after all.

Hi!I am so excited to start on this journey! This is my first Harry Potter fanfiction and I can't wait to see how it goes! Evitative by Vichan was my first Harry gets resorted into Slytherin and I fell in love with Slytherin Harry Potter so I decided to write my own, though I do love Gryffindor Harry/Slytherin Draco as well so I was very indecisive at first, but Slytherin Harry won obviously. I hope I can do it justice but it is my first fanfiction so there is room for improvement for sure. Well, I'm just here to have fun writing my story (though I will be aiming for angst), and hopefully you'll like what I'm writing! But anyway I got the idea of Harry having to be resorted after being expelled from Evitative, as many people do, and I just wanted to put the disclaimer here.A few disclaimers before we start: English is not my first language and I am more used to the American spelling and words, but I am trying to write using British English, so if you see any words with American spelling or that are used only in America, you are welcome to point them out to me and I will try to fix them.Also, I am new to the tagging system and will do my best to tag any possible trigger, but I'd appreciate help, so if you think I missed a few important tags, please let me know and I will add them. Also please check the tags as you read along. This fanfiction is still a work in progress and I still need to iron out all the details so I might need to add/remove tags as I go along. Please be safe reading!Last disclaimer: the world of Harry Potter and its characters belong, unfortunately, to JK Rowling. I own nothing.I will add content warnings in the end notes for each relevant chapter as well so check those if you want to know what's in the specific chapter!Anyway, after the longest author's note ever, enjoy the chapter and please let me know what you think! Constructive criticism will be appreciated but please be kind!
