Slytherin
Harry files out of the train with the other students, practically stuck to Draco and Pansy so they won't get split up in all the chaos, then he hears a booming voice that kind of scares him, "firs' years firs' years over here!!" The voice yelled over the busy bustling of the students. Draco, Harry and Pansy followed over to the voice with the rest of the first years and saw at the edge of land there is a bunch of three people woodem boats lined up. The voice had been coming from something Harry can only guess is a half-giant and the half-giant says "file into the boats! Three in each no more no less!" Pansy, Draco and Harry get into a boat and start rowing when they are told too.
"Duck your head!" The giant warns, and they do and sure enough, they would have been hit by tree branches had they not ducked. "Why can't we go in the carriges like the other years?!" Draco complains. "Becasue we have to get to the castle later then the other years, for the sorting ceremony" Pansy explains. "Well that doesen't mean I like it!" Draco says. "You don't have too." Harry says, tired of their banter.
Eventually they reach land in the form of a wet under cave underneath a cliff that the boats dock at. The children start getting up and Harry follows example, though stumbling when reaching land but being grounded by Draco's hand slipping in his. Draco and Pansy get up too and they start walking where they are told, eventaully coming in front of a big castle door and the half-giant opens it. They are led into a big hallway room with another one of those doors, and standing in front of it, Minerva Mccgonagall looking like she's about to give a speech, which turns out, she is.
She stood waving him off and once he was gone she cleared her throat, "Welcome to Hogwarts," said Minerva, "The start of term banquet will begin shortly but before you take your seats in the great hall, you will be sorted into your houses. The sorting ceremony is a very importamt ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts." She turned around, "I suggest some of you use this time to smarten yourselves up." She says. Due to Harry's metamorphmagus abilities he already had perfect black curls and he already looks well maintained with everything, even if that's just the magic and not real. He used this time to dust off his robes and straighten his tie.
She moved her arms and the giant doors swung open and she guided them all inside what Harry knows is the great hall from Draco's letter rants about Hogwarts a history and how awful it was that Harry wasn't allowed to have any wizarding things at the dursley's house. The ceilling is charmed to look like the night sky, you honestly cant tell theres a roof there at all, and there are four tables in different colors. Yellow for hufflepuff, Red for griffyndor, green for slytherin, and blue for ravenclaw. Harry immediately feels the castles magic welcome its heir slytherin, family magic feels like a warm hug.
She walks up to the front, leaving the first years in a line between griffyndor and hufflepuff table, and grabs a old witches hat and a roll of parchment with what looks like names listed on it. Minerva then speaks, "When I call your name you will walk to the front and I will put the hat on your head. It will yell out your house youve been sorted into." She nods to the students, "Abbot Hannah." Her voice rings through the halls and a blond girl walks up. The hat claims her a hufflepuff.
She continues to call out names in a non discernable pattern, she does not bat an eye at this, and the hat yells out houses for all the students, sometimes taking longer than others. Then, "Potter-Black Harry." Minerva says loudly, he walked up and sat down on the stool, she dropped the hat on his head. "Hello heir Slytherin." The hat says, seemingly just to him, like no one else can hear, which Harry thinks, is probably the case. "SLYTHERIN!" It yells through the hall. Just for fun Harry turns his hair green for a few minutes. Harry rises with grace and moves to sit at the green table, sitting next to Draco who had been sorted just a few minutes earlier.
Once the sorting ceremony comes to a close, Dumbledore stands, presumably to give a short speech before the banquet, "Welcome to Hogwarts, firstly I would like to tell the newcomers and remind some of the older students, The Forbidden Forest is named so for a reason." He shot a glance at two redhead griffyndor twins. "Secondly im warning each and everyone of you who does not wish to meet a most unfortunate fate should not go near the third floor corridor as it is banned for very good reason I do hope I'm making myself very very clear. Now then before we eat I would like to say a few words, Nitwit, Blubber, Oddement and Tweak!"
With that food appeared on the tables and Harry was to busy stuffing his face to care about the terribly evil headmaster that he was to deal with for the next seven years of his life.
