The resorting
Harrys pov.
I finally get to the platform nine and three quarters. The dursleys hasnt given me an easy summer as i sighed. i walked with my things onto the train which were soon taken from my hands by one of the workers. I got onto the old yet kept in tact train as started looking at the compartments trying to find my friends. who i hadnt seen since the last school year. i finally saw my friends in one of the compartments. Hermione's crazy curly brown hair with her brown eyes and Ron with his ginger hair and hazel colored eyes with freckles crowding his face as the light shines down on the two the small freckles on hermione around her nose showed to. i open the old door with a creak as the two other teenagers turned to look at me. i gave them a awkward smile as they ran to give me a hug.
"Harry!" they both said in unison as they saw me.
"Hi!" i replied with a smile as we all sat down in the seats.
the train took off a few moment later. we began talking about how the next year could be.
"Do you think we will have a normal year at hogwarts" Ron asked in a hopeful yet jokingly tone.
"Definitely not" me and Hermione replied in unison as we laughed. we continued to speak until we got to the school. we quickly rushed off the train. Trying not to be trampeled by the other students. they finally made it into the school. they sat down at the tables waiting for the first years to be sorted.
"aria lova." professor McGonagall called out as a 11 year old girl with golden blonde hair and blue eyes. the hat was placed on the young girls head while the hat thought for a few moments before calling out "Ravenclaw!" the ravenclaws clapped as they got the girl settled onto a space on the seats at the ridiculously long table.
A thousand name calls later it is announced that the 5th years will be resorted due to the fact it was learned the sorting had could listen to you and it would influence the sorting hats choice. Professor McGonagall started calling out names again. dean and seamus were put back into gryffindor.
The three looked at eachother. the fear and uneasiness clear in there eyes until hermione spoke up. "were..going to get split up arent we?"
her tone sad as her expression said the same. "i guess so" ron replied. the three shared a sad look. "friends? no matter what house we all end up in?" i said trying to lighten the mood. they both nod as we all gave eachother a sad smile.
Soon enough Hermione was called up. she turned to us and gave a sad look before walking up to professor McGonagall. She sat in the seat as the sorting hat thought for a moment. "Ravenclaw!" The hat finally called out. it was expected she'd be in that house but no one expected Hermione to try to influence the decision of the sorting hat. she slowly made her way to the Ravenclaw table and sat next to luna lovegood.
A few moments later there was a second year who was trying to show off a spell he had learned over the holidays he was a rich kid so he could clearly get away with it. the spell flew and hit ron sending ron flying into the Hufflepuff tables behind him. i got up and ran to him. "Ron! Ron are you ok?" the concern and worry in my voice clear as day. "bloody hell.." Ron said while clearly in pain. i was forced back as madame pomfrey came to grab ron to take him to the hospital wing.
Malfoy was clearly placed back into Slytherin. Along with Zabini and Parkinson. A few others were switched houses but not many. they were nearing the end of the list until. Finally i heard it. "Harry potter" i knew this wouldnt end well. id end up being called all sorts of things. i knew which house i would be placed in. The same house the sorting hat tried to put me in 5 years ago. I slowly got up from my seat. i exchanged a look with hermione before sitting down in the dark oak seat. i was panicking he slowly calmed down as the old talking sorting was placed on my head. "hmm..just as difficult as you were back in first year..your determined. you want to reach your goal and would go to great lengths to get to it. your ambitious yet brave. hmmm...better be. SLYTHERIN!".
The whole great hall went silent. so silent you could hear a pin drop. once the shock was over the people burst into whispers. i walked over to the Slytherin table ignoring the looks i was given. i was stopped as someone called me. "Pottah!? this has to be wrong!" Of course. it was draco blimin malfoy. he was shocked it was written all over his face yet was in disbelief. he refused to believe it was true. i ignored him and sitting the furthest away as i could from everyone.
i looked over to professor snape he was wide eyed and had dropped his drink all over the floor. he quickly tried to correct his posture and turned to look at me. i looked away and locked eyes with Hermione. she gave me a sympathetic look as the rest of the names were being called out.
The feast had lasted ages. It felt as if i had been sat there for years. i spoke to no one and just picked at the food Infront of me which was filled with more posh foods. As most of the Slytherins were purebloods and/or came from rich families.
i sighed as i stood up following the rest of the Slytherins down to the dungeons to go to the Slytherins dormitories. Everyone soon found there rooms. i walked around looking for my name until i found it. i stared in disbelief as i looked at who i would be sharing with. "You have got to be kidding me right now." I muttered under my breath before pushing the old door open with a creak. Just as i had expected. malfoy. Draco fucking malfoy. out of every Slytherin. he was placed with malfoy and zabini. there rooms were more old fashioned. the snake heads on the walls and the unfamiliar colour of green and silver covered the whole room. The colours being different compared to the bright red and golden ones i was used to.
Malfoy and zabini turned to look at me. They stared until malfoy spoke up. "this has got to be some sort of ridiculous mistake."
"The golden boy. in Slytherin? unbelievable" zabini said as he chuckled
Just as i thought. i was never going to be treated as if i was in the right place. especially since most of the Slytherins didnt exactly get along with me. i tried to ignore the comments they both made "mhm" i hummed in response and looked around the room until i saw my trunk. i rushed over to it as it dawned on me i had the marauders map and the invisibility cloak in there. However, i couldnt get if it was in there if zabini and malfoy continue to watch me like eagles about to pounce on me like i was prey. i don't open my trunk i slid it under my bed. id wait for dinner to start later on before opening it.
i ignored the looks i got from the other two Slytherins. i quickly realized something. id lost my place on the gryffindor quidditch team. And if i wanted to play again. it would have to be for Slytherin..i groaned in annoyance as zabini turned to be with a raised eyebrow before going back to unpacking. seems malfoy had left a few minutes ago when i was lost in thought. i climbed into the bed with the unfamiliar colours and grabbed a black notebook. As i waited for time to pass i began writing..
