Another year at Hogwarts opened as children reunited with old friends
and teachers in the great hall. The new comers sat at a table all together
letting their eyes wander from one cream-colored brick wall to the other.
The sorting hat sat on it's stood like a statue not moving or talking one
bit.
"Sorting hat time is the best time because it's funny to see all the little girls cry when they don't get the house they want." Ron said to Harry as he stuffed another fork-full of chicken into his moving mouth.
"Oh please Ron grow up." Hermonie snorted as she sat properly with her back straight up and a napkin folded in her lap.
Harry just laughed, for some reason he felt like he was going to have a normal year for once. His only concern was Draco Malfoy who sat at the slytherin table shooting evil sideward glances. He chose to ignore them.
"Fellow students." Started the professor as the hall fell silent. "As you second and on students know we have the sorting hat ceremony now but we need to clear up one thing before we start. It seems that Draco Malfoy has been sorted wrongly."
Draco snarled knowing what was to become of him. No one knew his roots and he had worked hard to keep it from them but this would uncover everything.
He walked up to the stool like it was his own coffin. He sat on the stool alert and as soon as the hat was placed on his head the hat awoke and blinked it's fabric eyes.
"So you have come back to receive your true house roots is that it Draco?" it asked whispering in his ear.
Malfoy just sat stiffly not answering back knowing that everyone in the great hall would hear.
"Very well then Draco Malfoy, you know you can never escape your roots." The hat whispered and then announced, "Griffindor!"
Ron's eyes bulged out of his skull like a cartoon as his fork dropped from his posed hand onto the wooden table creating a pang. Hermonie covered her mouth daintily muffling her gasp. Harry gasped out loud knowing that the great hall was all staring at him now for now he had his greatest rival in his same house. All hell could break out.
The hat was removed as whispers from the Slytherin table arose as he joined the Griffindor table right next to Harry. He flashed an evil smirk to Harry to hide his total shock that he was feeling. Ron just gaped and Hermonie slid over a bit.
"Well now that's done." The professor concluded knowing that it had created a disruption. She then drew out her list and began to read.
"Hello Potter." Malfoy whispered to Harry leaning closer to his shoulder.
"Draco. . ." Harry answered nervously trying to keep his face forward.
"You do know the reason why I am here is because I wanted to." Malfoy lied.
"We are going to find the real reason you are here Draco and then tell the whole school!" Ron insisted in a quiet tone.
Malfoy laughed, "Please Weasley, with your reputation?"
"I don't think you have one either Draco." Harry broke in.
"Shh!" Hermonie hissed as she pointed to the sorting hat calling the names of the houses.
"Later Potter, you and me court yard around eleven. We need to clear up a few things."
"Fine, but don't bring your bear pajamas." Harry snapped turning completely around so that Malfoy was not visible to him anymore.
Malfoy scuffed at Harry and looked back to Ron. "I want you to be there too Weasley, it's always good to have a Weasley there to feel better."
"Draco when I get. . ." Ron started in a loud tone until a teacher places a hand on his shoulder. Ron straighten up and glanced at the teachers unhappy look. He then led Ron out of the hall ear first.
Harry watched Ron go and knew he would be spending the night in detention. Now he had to make Malfoy pay tonight by bringing Hermonie.

"No Harry Potter and that's the final time!" Hermonie stated as she laid out her clothing from her trunk on her scarlet bed.
"Hermonie I would take Ron but he is in trouble because of Draco. Don't you want to get back at him?"
"Not really, it was mean of him but we could get into trouble too."
"We got into more trouble over the years. Come on you never worried about it then," Harry argued.
"Harry I am trying to stay out of trouble this year, it may mean just stop being friends with you. I want to do well in school cause that is the reason I come here, not to look after Ron and his revenge."
Harry looked to the floor at his shoes. He knew that it wasn't fair to ask Hermonie but he didn't feel comfortable unless he had someone there with him.
"Alright then, I'll go alone." Harry declared springing off the bed.
"Harry. . .don't go at all." Hemronie begged.
"I need to stand up to Malfoy. I can't let him win this." Harry thought aloud walking out the door as he said it all.
"Harry Potter your never going to learn are you. . .' Hermonie sighed.
"Sorting hat time is the best time because it's funny to see all the little girls cry when they don't get the house they want." Ron said to Harry as he stuffed another fork-full of chicken into his moving mouth.
