Harry's girls Part 1

chapter 2: sorting ceremony

After just entering the castle Harry felt a great magic flow through him. He couldn't explain what it felt like just that he felt power flow through him and it was good. After a while Harry and the rest of the first years were left on their own for Professor McGonagall to appear to take them to the great hall for the sorting. Upon entering the great hall everyone was staring at Harry and whispering, it was making him feel uneasy but when Hermione,Daphne and Tracey blocked the view of Harry from the other students they all said to Harry "Don't worry Harry as long as we stick together nobody can hurt you" Harry was happy as he said "Thank you" and once the new first years had finally stopped moving Harry was thankful to have his three new friends with him in his new journey in life. After a while an old man with a long silvery beard stood up and Harry assumed this was the headmaster Albus Dumbledore and when he noticed that Dumbledore was looking directly into his eyes he felt a sudden intrusion in his mind and soon Albus had paled and so he gave his start of term notices and then handed over to Minerva who told the students when she calls their names they would come forth and the sorting hat would place them into their houses.

When most of the students had been sorted Harry, Hermione, Daphne and Tracey were still left and when a boy named Shemus Finnegan had been placed in the Lions den of Gryffindor house Daphne was called up and it took two seconds before the hat shouted "SLYTHERIN" Harry smiled and clapped for his new friend as she made her way to the house with the slytherin banner above it. Soon Tracey followed Daphne to the snake pit then Hermione joined the two at the slytherin table and Harry was now nervous what if he wasn't supposed to be here what if this was some mistake and he would be sent back to the monsters he had as a family but soon the hat started talking to Harry "Umm difficult very difficult plenty of courage i see not a bad mind either but where to put you" Harry was wanting to be put in slytherin with his new friends and so they hat bellowed out "SLYTHERIN" everyone in the hall was dead silent not a sound could be heared until the slytherin table clapped for their newest and most famous member and so Harry sat in between Daphne and Hermione while Tracey sat on the other side of the table.

When the uproar of Harry's sorting had died down the feast had begun and Harry was amazed never in his life had he seen so many delicious foods and so he started putting different foods on his plate but remembering what his family said he didn't take a single bite he just pushed he plate away and this concerned his three friends and so Daphne said "Harry eat something please if you don't ill force you to" Harry knew Daphne for a few hours and she was already showing concern for him and so he took his plate back but before he could take a bite Daphne, Tracey and Hermione had pilled more onto his plate and then he dug in, After finishing his first plate he went back for seconds thirds and even fourths this shocked everyone and so Harry getting rather annoyed just shouted "I was starved okay starved and beaten by my family" everyone in the great hall were now listening and the professors had shocked expressions on their faces but Albus had paled more than he did earlier and so Albus stood up "Mr Potter would you and Professor Snape please join me in my office when you are finished please" Harry nodded and then Severus Snape the potions master gave a short nod and went back to his food. After the main courses had dissapeared and the deserts were out Harry had bits of everything and he was enjoying his time with his new friends and his Hogwarts family.

Once meals were over with Severus had walked up to Harry and spoke "Mr. Potter please follow me" Harry nodded and told his friends he would join them in the common room later and so Harry followed Professor Snape through corridors and up loads of stairs that started moving on his own. While walking the Professor had a look on his face he remembered the day he and Lily had been together during one night after a heated argument had gone off between Lily and James and he and Lily had sex and when he woke up the next morning Lily was gone, This was a painful memory for Severus but the thing was back when he was a student at Hogwarts and in Slytherin being picked on by James Potter and Sirius Black he remembered casting the sterile curse on James so he began wondering how Harry had been born if James was not able to have an heir then it hit him a month after he and Lily had sex Lily told him that she was pregnant and that the kid could be his and after thinking it over more and more Severus had turned towards Harry and looked at the boy with curiosity. Harry was now fearing his head of house until Severus smiled and spoke " I need to tell you something Harry, Your Father was not James Potter it is me" Harry was letting this new information sink in and then Harry felt a strange connection to Severus like a kind of family bond and in that instant he knew that Severus was telling the truth and Severus had a smile on his face which was unusual for the so called greasy dungeon bat as most students mainly gryffindors called him and so Severus had told Harry to stick close to him once they were at the gargoyle that was in the form of a Griffin that was the entrance to the headmasters office.
