what if Harry was sorted in...

...HUFFLEPUFF

Harry was sitting next to Ernie Macmillan five minutes after he was sorted in Hufflepuff.

How did he came there?

He didn't want to be at this table at first after what Ron and Hermione told him on the train.

But he was quite comfortable now and he had already made some new friends.

Dumbledore just told them the rules and stuff like that, and Harry was determent to not break them. He also wasn't curious after Dumbledore said something about a 'forbidden third floor'.

O, and the food was great!

,The first day of class was really amazing, the teachers are really nice'' Harry said to justin (one of his new best friends). ,Except Snape, I got really scared of him."

When the first year Huffelpufs were walking to their dormitory after a terrific dinner, they walked past a weird painting of a fruit dish. Although Harry wasn't a boy with many suspicions, he suspected that there were the kitchens, because a smell of donuts (Harry's favourites) hung around the corridor.

At the second day he had already met a lot of people, most of them first years and classmates. He talked to Ron and Hermione again, but they were of soon. He met other gryffindors and ravenclaws, they were really friendly. After class, when Harry and friends were trying to do their homework, Draco Malfoy came to their table in the library. He said some not-so-nice things (Harry didn't want to think about it, because then he would sleep badly), but Harry was sure he didn't mean it that way and he would probably be a nice guy if you knew him better.

After some weeks of working hard it was finally Halloween. Harry was happily chatting and eating at the feast, the great hall was looking fantastic and everyone was in a good mood.

Suddenly Harry heard a loud 'BANG' and professor Quirl came running in.

, Troll, troll in the dungeons!" he cried.

Harry panicked, he never saw a troll, but professor Quirl made them sound very scary. Before he knew it he and the other Hufflepuffs ran out of the great hall. Suddenly he slipped and fell hard on the ground (he forgot to tie his shoe). When he finally looked up, the crowd was gone and Ron helped him up.

,You have to help me!" Ron said with a frightened look on his face.

,What?" Harry said confused. ,What about the troll?"

,Hermione doesn't know about it! She is in the girl's bathroom!" Ron answered.

Harry quickly followed Ron, because he liked Hermione, and he discovered he some courage after all.

That night Harry lay in bed thinking about the fight with the troll. It was scary off course, but not as scary as he thought. At breakfast he was a bit grumpy, Ernie and Justin were really annoying and he begun to hate donuts, because he smelled it the whole day. After some lessons with the slytherins he came to the conclusion that Draco Malfoy wasn't that nice either. This day had been really bad and when he sat in the library with Ron and Hermione, he started to think he didn't belong in Hufflepuff...
