The story Characters and places, are JK Rowling's… but the story line is mine, and mine alone. Please don't steal any of this. Don't review about grammar mistakes, please… and as far as characters, and things, trust me. It will all be answered soon, just be patient. I did add a few characters in… McNair and Black… there was no mention that I could find of other Slytherin Quidditch players, so I created them.

Walking up the steps as fast as he could, followed by the rest of the first year students. He stopped at the top of the stairs as the teacher motioned for them to stop walking. She walked off after a moment, leaving the students alone standing there. Glancing around nervously, Harry caught the eyes of a blonde haired boy. Shrugging his shoulders once before glancing around again, the blonde pushed himself off of a statue and started to make his way towards Potter.

"My name is Draco Malfoy." He then pointed at the two boys behind him. "This is Crabbe, and Goyle." Draco took another few steps towards Harry, standing inches from one another. "The rumors are true then. You finally decided to come to Hogwarts." Potter kept his eyes on Malfoy. "There are some wizarding familes, you should associate with and other' aren't worth your time." Draco' eyes darted towards a few other students, including Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Then he extended his hand towards Harry. "I can teach you all there is to know." Almost immediately Harry took Draco' hand, shaking it. "Good choice." The blonde haired boy only grinned.

"Harry, what are you doing? I thought we were going to be friends?" questioned the red head.

Still holding Harry' hand, Draco pulls Harry close to him. "Stay away muggle lover." He hissed towards Weasley, finally his eyes landed on Hermione, opening his mouth to say something, but he decided to close his mouth when Professor McGonagall tapped the blonde' shoulder. Immediately, Draco turned to face her and moved back over to his previous place. Harry joined the other three in the corner.

"When I call your name, please sit on the stool, and the Sorting Hat will choose your house." Professor McGonagall cleared her throat.

"Hermione Granger." Hermione walked to the stool, and sat down. She closed her eyes, and she concentrated on Gryffindor. After a minute the hat claimed "Gryffindor", she smiled, standing the Gryffindor house started clapping.

"Neville Longbottom" with his name being called, he walked up and sat down. "Gryffindor" the hat called. The table roared in applause.

"Susan Bones", she walked up rather slowly and after a few moments, the hat stated "Hufflepuff".

"Harry Potter", immediately everyone in the Great Hall became quiet. All anxious to see what was going to happen with the Boy-Who-Lived. As he sat down he kept mumbling "Not Gryffindor" continually. "Slytherin" wailed the hat. Harry' eyes lit up, so did everyone else. Draco had a huge smile on his lips, so did the head of the Slytherin House, Professor Severus Snape. The Slytherin table finally, after the shock of having Harry Potter in their house, applauded. He headed to his table quickly; Harry shook a few hands as he smiled. They sat there many others including Crabbe and Goyle were placed into the Slytherin house, as well as the other three houses. Harry turned his head towards the Professor table; Snape had a very smug look on his face.

After the meal, Malfoy, Potter, Crabbe and Goyle all hurried back to the Slytherin common room. Draco and Harry sat in arm chairs, close to one another. Crabbe and Goyle both sat on the couch across from the two. All looking at one another, with their eyes, asking each other how they thought the rest of their time at Hogwarts was going to go.

"What's up with that Weasley, and Granger?" The dark haired boy asked.

"Granger is a filthy little mudblood." Draco' eyes grew. "Weasley, is a pureblood, but they don't look or act like it. Plus his family is a bunch of muggle lover."

"Mudblood?"

"Yeah Harry, those who are muggle born." Draco replied quietly. Harry just nodded, watching the others. He pushed himself back against the chair. "Harry, Goyle and Crabbe have been close to my family since I've been a baby. But you, you interest me so much. My father always said if I was lucky, I'd meet you, or have you close to my circle of friends, if I was truly lucky. Thinkin for a moment, he glanced at Crabbe and Goyle.

"So why did you want to become my friends?" Harry questioned the others.

"I just thought we'd make good friends, you're not like the rest of them." The blonde replied, Harry just nodded his head. "I knew I'd be in Slytherin."

"I never imagined there was a world beyond my home back with the Dursley's. Much less another school, for Wizards and Witches; this is my true home. Here at Hogwarts. Everyone thought I would have ended up in Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw, or even Gryffindor, never Slytherin. Harry just smiled and grinned slightly.

Harry looked down for a moment just as the door opened. The head of their house, Professor Snape had wandered in.

"Lights out, Go to bed, all of you. You have a long day tomorrow." The black haired man stated. With that, everyone went to their rooms, and laid down to sleep.
