"Another Hogwarts student?" An old woman that was measuring a blond boy asked Harry.

"Yes maim," Harry said sitting on a chair in the waiting area.

"So you're going to Hogwarts, first year?" The blond boy asked stepping off the stool he was being measured on.

"Young man your next," Madam Mulkin said motioning Harry over.

"Yes," Harry said to the blond boy.

"Are you a full-blood, Half-blood or a muggle born?" The blond boy asked.

"I am not quite sure my parents were magical but they died when I was a baby," Harry replied as madam Mulkin measured his arms.

"Oh, well I am Draco Malfoy.," Draco said shaking Harry's hand as he hoped off the stool.

"Your robes will be done in an hour," Madam Mulkin said moving onto a bushy hair witch.

"I'm Harry, Harry Potter."

"Really, I've learned a lot about you," Draco said as they walked out of Madam Mulkins'

"Oh, okay," Harry sighed.

"I should get going Harry, but I have to tell you something, my father supports the dark lord so if I don't act like I do too, I don't know what he'll do to me. So just a warning on my future behavior," Draco said waving Harry off.

Harry headed over to Olivander's to get his wand. When he opened the door and old man with white-ish, grey-ish hair came rolling in on the ladder that's on wheels.

"Ah, Mr. Potter I wondered when I would see you here, I remember like it was just yesterday I sold the wands to your parents," The old man who Harry guessed as Olivander said, "Now try this," Olivander handed Harry a wand that knocked most of his other wands off their shelves, "No, No defiantly not," Olivander grabbed the wand out of Harry's hand and gave him another that destroyed the flower pot that sat on Olivander's desk, "No," Olivander moved through the isles saying, "Hmm, curious, very curious," He grabbed another wand and made his way back to Harry.

"What's curious sir?" Harry asked.

"Here try this," Olivander handed him a wand that glowed gold and silver.

The rest of Harry's trip was uneventful other then Olivander saying his wand has a brother who belongs to Lord Voldemort and receiving a snowy white which he name Hedwig from one of the text books he got.

Harry Spent the rest of his summer in his new room which was Dudley's second bedroom reading his text books for school and doing his chores. On September 1st the Dursley's drove Harry to Kings cross station 2 hours before his train was due to leave.

Not knowing where to go or what to do with 2 extra hours Harry decided to explore Kings Cross. Harry arrived at platforms nine and ten looking around for 9 ¾ He heard a familiar voice.

"Come on Mom, come on dad," It was the bushy haired girl from Madam Mulkins.

"Relax Hermione the train doesn't leave for another two hours," A woman Harry guessed as the bushy haired girl, Hermione's mother.

"Um, excuse me," Harry spoke to the little family of three.

"Yes," Hermione's father said.

"Would you happen to know where platform 9 and ¾ is?" Harry asked Hermione.

"Yes I do, Professor McGonagall said run through the barrio between platforms nine and ten," Hermione answered, "Here watch, bye mom dad I'll see you at Christmas."

Hermione ran through the barrio pushing her luggage in front of her and Harry followed with a hooting Hedwig.

Harry was amazed when he saw the cherry red train it was like a dream with only a few of students who arrived early were on the platform.

"Amazing isn't it," Hermione said pushing her luggage cart towards where they are loaded.

"Most definitely," Harry said in a daze before he ran to catch up with Hermione.

On of the prefects levitated their stuff onto the train and they went to find their seats.

"Hold up Hermione," Harry yelled as Hermione raced down the isle.

"Come on Harry we need to find a seat," She yelled grabbing Harry's arm and pulling him towards the back of the train.

"Slow down Hermione, we're the only ones here," Harry said as Hermione pulled a compartment do open.

"Have you read your text books yet?" Hermione asked sitting do and pulling out her Hogwarts: A History from the backpack she had sung over her shoulders.

"Yeah every single one of the, have you?" Harry answered.

Hermione stared at him in shock, "I thought I would be the only one,"

"So what, I think that is awesome," Harry smiled.

"Really," Hermione smiled back.

"Yeah," Harry said as he started to read his history of magic text book.

The two new friends sat reading their text book occasionally looking over the top of them to make sure the other was still there. That was until a red haired boy opened the door.

The red heads eyes land on Harry before he said, "Umm, can I sit here everywhere else is full?"

"I don't see why not," Harry said.

Both Harry and Hermione eyes never left their pages.

"I'm Ron, Ron Weasley and you are?" Ron asked.

"I'm Harry this is Hermione, please be quiet we are trying to read if you don't mind," Harry grumbled as ten seconds later their compartment door opened again.

"Anything off the trolley dears," Asked a plump woman.

"No thanks I'm all set," Ron said holding up a few smushed sandwiches.

"Would you like anything Hermione?" Harry asked showing her the few galleons he had in his pocket.

Ron eyes lit up at the sight of the wizarding money.

"I don't want you spending your money on me Harry it's okay," Hermione said politely.

"No it's okay if you want something I don't have a shortage of money," Harry smiled.

"Yeah sod off, let the boy buy candy," Ron said.

Both Harry and Hermione glared at Ron.

"I'll take the lot," Harry said to the waiting Woman.

"Alright," She said Handing Harry his candy, "That would be five galleons."

Harry handed the woman the money and she left to refill her trolley.

"Take anything you want," Harry said, and then he said Ron reach for a box of every flavor beans so he quickly said, "Hermione."

Ron scowled and put his hand back to his side as he watched the boy who was supposed to be his friend eating candy with a bookworm nobody.

A young girl with wild reddish brown hair and bright blue eyes opened the door, "Has anyone seen a toad?"

"No I'm sorry," Harry said politely.

"Okay thanks, if you find it can you look for me or a boy named Neville… it's his toad,"

"Okay," Harry smiled, "Would you like anything there is still a lot of candy here?"

"Um, sure," She reached over Harry, "I'm Harleigh, Harleigh LeStrange."

"I'm Hermione, this is Harry," Hermione stopped smiling when she said, "And this is Ron."

"You got to be kidding me," Ron jumped up from his seat.

Harleigh's eyes widen in shock.

"You let this spawn of a death eater eat your candy! But you won't let me! I'm your best mate!" Ron yelled.

"I'm sorry I'll go," Harleigh was about to leave but Harry stopped her.

"No you don't go," Harry said calmly than turning to Ron, "I am not your best 'mate'. I don't even like you1 you have been nothing but rude to Hermione and now your rude to Harleigh. They have done nothing to you… So if anyone is leaving it is you!"

"Whoa," Harleigh said in shock.

Hermione nodded in agreement.

Ron rushed out with a red face.

"So, I should go help Neville bye, "She left but turned back, "Thanks for standing up for me Harry no one has ever done that."

The train ride went on for a long time for a magical train but it finally arrived at Hogsmade station.

Harry and Hermione left the train quickly trying to lose Ron on the way. The two friends thought the boy was rude and impulsive and wand nothing to do with him.

"First year, first years come this way," They heard someone said as the two friends walked towards the booming voice.

"Hagrid!" Harry said as he saw who was calling for the first years.

"'ello Harry," The giant said looking at the two children.

"Hagrid this is my friend Hermione," Harry introduce the two with a big smile on his face.

"Why, hello there Hermione," Hagrid said, "Come follow me first years."

Hagrid lead them down a path where they were loaded into boats.

"No more than four to a bout," Hagrid said.

Before Harry or Hermione could stop him Ron jumped into their boat along with a quiet young man named Neville Longbottom.

"We'll be seeing Hogwarts in a few," Hagrid said as everyone gasped… Hogwarts was beautiful.

"Watch your heads," Hagrid's voice boomed as they entered the docks, "Careful now."

Hagrid helped them out of the wooden boats and lead them to a set of giant doors.

There was a croak before Hagrid said, "Oy, You there, is this your toad?"

A bright smile spread across the shy boys face, "Yes sir thank you."

Harleigh who was standing beside Neville smirked, "I knew we would find him."

"Wait here," Hagrid knocked on the door and an older woman who Hermione recognized as Professor McGonagall, "Here you are Professor, the first years."

"Thank you Hagrid," She bowed her head, "Follow me."

The students followed her inside to another set of doors but these were much bigger.

Professor McGonagall stood up in front of everyone with her head held high but her eyes fell on Harry and Harleigh before she made her legendary speech, "Welcome to Hogwarts, 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 is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be like your family within Hogwarts. You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory and spend free time in your house common-room. The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each house has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and Wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn you house points, while any rule-breaking will lose house points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup, a great honor. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours. The Sorting Ceremony will take place in a few minutes in front of the whole school. I suggest you smarten yourselves up as much as possible while you are waiting. I shall return when we are ready for you," Professor turned and went through the big doors.

Chatter erupted from the first years.

"It seems that we have Harry Potter with us," Draco said making his way over to Harry with Harleigh and two boys following him.

"So it seems so," Harleigh said smirking at Harry.

"This Crabbe, Goyle and this is Harleigh LeStrange," Draco smirked, "I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy."

Ron, who was still following Harry around, laughed.

"You think my name is funny do you, red hair, freckles and hand-me down robes… you must be a Weasley. My father's told me all about you, too many children than they can't afford," He turns to Harry, "You'll soon find out some wizarding families are much better than others. I can help you there," Draco held out his pale hand which harry took.

"I can always use more friends," Harry said.

"You can't be bloody serious!" Ron yelled and was about to continue but Professor McGonagall came back in to the main all.

"We're ready for you now, form a line and follow me," McGonagall lead them into the Great Hall.

Oohs and Ahs came from all the first years as they saw the floating candles and the night sky as the roof.

"It's bewitched to look like the sky, I read about it in Hogwarts: A History," Hermione said cheerfully.

Ron mimicked her receiving a jab in the stomach from Harleigh.

When they got to the front Professor McGonagall placed a three legged stool with a worn old hat on top, a mouth opened on the hat and it began to sing,

"Oh, you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your tops hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell brave of heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means
To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And you won't get in a flap!
You're safe in my hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!"

Everyone clapped as it finished.

McGonagall coughed gain everyone's attention, "Okay when I call your name, you will put on the hat ans sit on the stool to be sorted, Abbott, Hannah!"

McGonagall continued to go until she reached, "Granger, Hermione!"

Hermione walked up to the stool whispering some of the spells from her text books, she sat on the stool and felt the old hat come to life on her head.

"A very brilliant mind you have miss Granger," the hat said.

"Thank you," Hermione thought.

"For your destiny I put you in…" Then the Hat yelled, "Gryffindor!"

With a smile Hermione hopped off the stool and ran to her new house.

McGonagall continued to called names and eventually she reached "LeStrange, Harleigh!"

Harleigh slowly stepped forward and sat on the stool, she felt the sorting hat be placed on her head before a voice was in her head.

"Interesting really interesting," The Hat said.

"Why hello there, Hatrick" Harleigh thought.

"No one has ever known my name… Well where to put you … you're one hard one to sort, you want to be put in Slytherin so your mother would be happy," The Hat said.

"She isn't my mother," Harleigh growled.

"Don't worry darling I know, as I was saying you also want to be place were ever you'll fit in best," The Hat continued, "You're brave, loyal, smart and cunning but for your destiny to be fulfilled you'll be…," The Hat then shouted "Gryffindor!"

Harleigh's smile didn't reach her eyes as she hopped off the stool and headed toward Gryffindor's table.

More names were called including Neville who was placed in Gryffindor, Draco in Slytherin and, "Potter, Harry!"

Everyone went silent as Harry was prepared to be sorted.

Hatrick once again came to life, "Hmm, difficult, very difficult just like your god-sister,"

"My god-sister," Harry wondered.

"You'll soon find out, now where to put you oh I know…" The Hatrick yelled, "Gryffindor!"

Harry smiled and ran over to Hermione completely forgetting the god-sister comment. All of Gryffindor was cheering for their new addition.

After a few people, "Weasley, Ron!" was called.

All Hatrick said to Ron was, "I know what you're up to Weasley," Then it shouted, "Slytherin!"

Everyone was silent as Ron sat there in shock.

"Mr. Weasley to your table,"Professor McGonagall said.

The Headmaster stood up and said, "There must have been some mistake he can't be in Slytherin, he must be re-sorted!"

"Now, now Headmaster you know that isn't allowed, Mr. Weasley to your table," McGonagall said as Ron walked over to Slytherin in a daze.
