The meeting on the train/The Sorting
Chapter 1 - The meeting on the train
It was a long road. Harry discovered many interesting things along with Hagrid on the way up here. Harry was looking outside the train's window when the door slid open, and a voice had came.
"Uh, hello... Can we sit here?" Harry turned to see two kids, around his age, eleven. The one who spoke was a tall, redhead, with cyan-colored eyes, he was a boy. Harry didn't see any problem.
"Sure, go on," He said, the two had sat on opposite sides, the one who spoke had sat on his side, while the other, who was a girl, around Harry's height, and had some similarities with the other kid, which made Harry suppose they are siblings, the girl was a redhead, but with a lighter tone compared to the one and her eyes are cyan colored too.
It was the boy who spoke once again "... So what's your name? My name's Ronald, and this is my sister Ginerva, but you can call us just Ron and Ginny Weasley." He said, quite awkwardly
"Name's Harry Potter," Harry said, with his green emerald-like colored eyes, his slicked-back black hair with blonde highlights, his tall but lean structure, and his large, realistic thunder scar that ran from the top of the right of his forehead to the bottom of his right eye. Both of their eyes had widened.
"Like, in the Potter family?" Asked the boy, Ron Weasley, Harry nodded, but not being pleased with the fact he was being associated with his supposed-to-be family.
"Wow," The girl, Ginny Weasley, gasped. The door had slid open again, this time it was three kids, two were girls, and one was a boy, the one who had opened the door was one of the two girls, and she spoke.
"Hello, did anyone have seen a toad running around here?" She asked, the girl had sleek dark brown hair with blonde highlights, around Harry's height and brown acorn-like colored eyes.
"Nope" Answered Ginny,
"Okay then," said the girl, but she was seemingly not done as she spoke once again "So... can we sit here? We still hadn't decided where to sit." She asked, Harry, Rony, and Ginny had nodded to say they hadn't a problem with it.
"Thanks," said the boy, the boy was tall, taller than Ron, with blonde hair with black highlights and green grass-like colored eyes. He sat with clear shyness while doing so, he sat opposite the other girl, with blonde, light-colored hair, and blue eyes that carried pure mystery, and resembled the dark of the depth of the ocean, and was around Harry's height too, she sat to aside the other girl, and Ginny, the other girl was sitting opposite Ron, who was right aside to Harry's. "The toad's mine, I call him Trevor, but really, it's annoying how much he escapes from me." He said, "Name's Neville Longbottom."
"And mine's Hermione Granger." The girl who sat opposite Ron spoke.
"Mine's Luna Lovegood." The girl who sat opposite Neville spoke. There was some awkward silence for some minutes before the 'Hermione' girl broke it.
"So..." She started awkwardly "Which house do you guys want to be in?"
"I don't know anything of the houses," Said Harry embarrassed.
"Well, I only know what our mother told us" Said Ron, "All of our family are Gryffindors, well she says Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are lovable houses, unlike Slytherin, who are all bad persons..." He said, Ginny nodded.
"Well, I'm hoping to be in either Ravenclaw or Gryffindor." Said Hermione
"Ravenclaw" Said Luna in a dreamingly tone
"Hufflepuff, or maybe Gryffindor" Neville was the one who spoke last, when he finished speaking, the door slid open for the third time.
"So, I heard Harry Potter's here, which one is him?" Said a boy, he had a chubby and small structure, with messy redhead hair. Harry lifted his hand to point out it was him. "My name's Nathan, Nathan Potter." He said with a smile, "As we are brothers, I hope we can be good friends, our parents are excited to finally meet you, and so am I." He spoke with a tone that strongly reminded Harry of Dudley Dursley, his cousin. He stretched his hand to Harry "As I believe you should know, I'm the Boy-Who-Lived." He said smugly, Harry didn't take his hand.
"Sorry, but I'm not interested in meeting you or your parents." He said, hiding his anger, the boy frowned.
"What?" He asked
"I'm not interested in meeting you or the parents who'd cast me aside to live with the Dursleys." The boy, Nathan, didn't look pleased with the answer.
"Okay then, but keep knowing they will hear about this." Harry couldn't care less. He left, leaving the others surprised.
Chapter 2 - The Sorting
The sorting would begin, and everyone seemed to be nervous. The Sorting called names after names, and then, it had called.
"Luna Lovegood!" Luna walked, she was not as nervous as the others, she didn't even know why they were nervous at all! The Hat was placed on her head. She heard a voice inside her.
"Oh, you're interesting... let's see, you're considered mysterious by many, you can see things that others overlook and have a knack for understanding complex situations, highly intuitive and resourceful, often coming up with creative solutions to problems... There's no better place for you other than... SLYTHERIN!"
The Slytherins politely clapped.
"Neville Longbottom" Was called. He was nervous, hoping The Hat places him correctly, and at the house that would fit him the most.
"Hm... you have an ambition, don't you? You want to honor your parents' name, and I know you will be successful in doing so by adapting and evolving, you might as well do so in... SLYTHERIN!"
The Slytherins had once again politely clapped.
"Ginerva Weasley" Was called, and she walked to the chair, the hat was placed on her head.
"Hm... you're independent, likes to follow your own path, you're an assertive person, I know exactly where you should be, some of yours were almost placed there, but didn't had enough, but you on the other side, you belong there... SLYTHERIN!"
The hall fell silent, no polite claps like it happened when others were placed on Slytherin. Instead, everyone was shocked to see a Weasley being placed on Slytherin, the Weasleys who were present only had pure shock on their faces...
"Hermione Granger" was called,
"Hm... you're hard, but I guess this house will not be bad for you, you're a successful and assertive person, realistic and a perfectionist, your family may not change what house you belong to, and you will find your success in... SLYTHERIN!"
The silence was stunning once again, a mudblood and a Weasley in Slytherin? That was unacceptable, The Hat must be crazy this year!
"Ronald Weasley" was called, and the hat upon being placed at his head didn't take too long to speak.
"You wish to be in the spotlight, don't you? After being in the shadows of your brothers for so long, you would wish to show your value, you may do so in... SLYTHERIN!"
The hat is definitely crazy! Not only one but two Weasleys on Slytherin?
Ron sat next to Ginny, both shared a look with the same thought, what would their mother say?
The Hat had barely touched Nathan's head when he announced he was a Gryffindor, and of course after Nathan, "Harry Potter!" was called, Harry had realized that everyone had started to look into him, and at his large scar on his eye... He was uncomfortable with the attention, he could see Nathan's parents at the Teachers' table leaning forward to have a better look at him. Harry had walked awkwardly and nervously to the chair.
"Hm... I don't have the slightest doubt about you... A natural leader, who's resilient and self-reliable, and knows how to take care of your peers... SLYTHERIN!"
Not even a sound was made, a mudblood, two Weasley, a Potter, and even a Longbottom and a Lovegood at Slytherin? Lovegood and Longbottom was a light surprise, a brief shock because it was rare, but they knew it was not impossible... But the other fours... How?
