Chapter One
Harry was sitting in the train when the red-haired boy he'd seen earlier entered the compartment.
"Can I sit here?" he asked
"Sure," Harry answered.
(Same as book until…)
"My brothers Bill and Charlie were in Gryffindor like my parents, but my brother Percy was put in Ravenclaw, no doubt why though, he's always studying-gets annoying after awhile though. My twin brothers-Fred and George were put in Slytherin, probably because they're always joking around…mum wasn't too happy about that. They really aren't that bad though. I want to be in Gryffindor though-to carry on the family tradition my grandparents started." Ron told Harry.
Harry sat there thinking. He just hoped he wasn't in Slytherin-even though they didn't all turn out bad…well it didn't seem that way.
(Same as book until they go into sorting)
They walked down the rows of tables to the very front where there was a chair with an old raggedy hat placed on top. All of the sudden the hat opened up and burst into song. (Same song as book).
After the song ended the professor that had greeted them said, "Now, when I call your name you come up here and place the hat on your head…Hannah Abbot." She screeched their names in a high pitched voice. A girl with pig tails went up, sat down and put the hat on….
"Ravenclaw!" The hat boomed the houses
"Susan Bones"
"Gryffindor!"
"Terry Boot!"
"Gryffindor!"
Two Gryffindor's already…
"Mandy Brocklehurst!"
"Slytherin!"
"Lavender Brown!"
"Hufflepuff!"
"Millicent Bulstrode!"
"Hufflepuff!"
"Vincent Crabbe!"
A few seconds later the hat declares "What are you doing here? Go away and come back when you get a brain! There's no house for you!" The boy walked away with a huge smile on his face.
"How stupid is he?" Harry whispered to Ron.
"Justin Finch-Fletchly!
"Ravenclaw!"
"Seamus Finnigan!"
"Slytherin!"
"Hermione Granger!"
"Ravenclaw!"
She bounded off to join Percy Weasley at her table.
"Gregory Goyle!"
Just like Crabbe, the hat sent him away saying he was to stupid to be there, but unlike Crabbe he actually looked upset about it and as he was walking away he fell down the stairs, hit his head on the Hufflepuff table, cracked it in half and fell unconscious.
"Oh dear," Professor Dumbledore said and with a wave of his wand, the Hufflepuff table was fixed and Goyle was put on a stretcher and sent out the door.
Neville Longbottom, the stupid boy who kept losing his toad, was incredulously put in Ravenclaw, but forgot to take the hat off so he ran and gave it to McGonagall He must of had brains somewhere in his head or else the hat made a mistake to put him in Ravenclaw.
"Morag MacDougal"
"Slytherin!"
"Draco Malfoy!"
Malfoy walked up with an air of confidence and put the hat on his head. After about 10 minutes the hat boomed, "Gryffindor!"
Malfoy walked to his seat crying.
Harry rolled his eyes towards Malfoy indicating to Ron how stupid Malfoy was.
After many more people were sorted, Pansy Parkinson walked up and got sorted into Hufflepuff.
Then it was Harry's turn, he walked up sat down and put the hat on. (Hat says same as book except) "well, you would be best in…Slytherin!!"
Harry glanced at Ron and Ron shrugged. He walked over to the Slytherin table and the Weasley twins were shouting "We got Potter! We got Potter!"
After that Lisa Turpin joined Slytherin with him and then it was Ron's turn. Ron went up; put the hat on his head. A few seconds later it yelled "Hufflepuff!"
Harry was a little disappointed but quickly got over when Blasé Zambini was put in Ravenclaw and Dumbledore told them to begin eating! Food appeared in front of them.
Harry plunged into his food. Literally
"So," Fred asked, "How do you like Slytherin so far?"
Harry shrugged "it's all right"
"Yeah, our mum basically disowned us when we were put in here" George said.
"Really," Harry asked.
The twins nodded vigorously. "She's getting over it now though; she started inviting us home at Christmas last year!"
"That's great…."Harry said nervously.
"And she fed us last summer, though her cooking couldn't compare to Hogwarts," Fred said.
"Yeah," George continued dreamily, "all the sugars and fat and grease they put in this stuff."
Harry's stomach moaned.
"Don't worry, you'll adapt to the grease" Fred said.
After the main course, deserts appeared, they were delicious. Following desert the plates became clear and they all sang the school song, with the twins ending with a slow funeral note. Professor Dumbledore laughed.
Fred whispered to Harry "I always wonder why we just don't do the national anthem,"
"Yeah," said George, "it'd be a lot shorter."
"And more fun," Fred added.
They all stood up and followed the Slytherin prefects down to the dungeon where their house was. The dungeons were quite cool but when they entered the common room they were greeted with warmth. Harry found his dorm room it was a room with 5 beds. Harry glanced around to find that his stuff was already there by his bed. After meeting the other boys in his dorm: Seamus, Morag, Timothy and Cornelius, Harry laid down in his bed and fell quickly asleep
