Moving In

"Dursley, Dudley!"

Dudley stood nervously next to Ernie, waiting to put the mangy hat, which called itself the Sorting Hat, on his head. Hearing his name, Dudley wished he had never pleaded with his mother and father to go. All of sudden a wave of anger fell onto him, and he glared at his cousin, thinking if Harry hadn't been alive, he might've not come. But he nervously stumbled towards the hat, placed it on his head and let it read his mind. "You're one of the harder ones, aren't you Mr Dursley. But I have a knack with them. Yes, very loyal to your parents and friends. Hufflepuff if you don't mind. But you seem very intelligent deep down; I have half a mind to put you in Ravenclaw! Any house you really want to be in? I would add Slytherin to your options, you have a thirst to prove yourself, but you were born with muggle parents, so I can't." The voice was a bit annoying but it wasn't as bad as seeing images inside your head and your reaction would place you in a house. "Ohhh, you want to be in Hufflepuff more, you and your friends agreeing it was the right house. Alright then. Oh and Dudley, you need to try harder to be Harry's friend, HUFFLEPUFF!" He took the hat off wearily, thinking about what it had said. "DUDLEY, DUDLEY!" screamed Hannah and Susan from the Hufflepuff table as he sat down with them, still a bit dazed. He looked across to see a handsome boy, staring at him with interest. "Cedric Diggory, nice to meet you. You must be Harry Potter's cousin," he greeted, shaking Dudley's hand.

"Can you not tell anybody? I know people will know soon, but I don't want to be known as Harry Potter's cousin," Dudley asked and the third year nodded, before going back to chat with his friends. Other names were now being called out.

"Finch-Fletchley, Justin!"

He became another Hufflepuff and his house roared with joy, the newest joining in, Susan blushing when he came over.

"Granger, Hermione!"

Dudley waited in hope; hope that she would be Hufflepuff with him. They would walk together, finding toads for other people and kiss right in the centre of their common room...

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Dudley's heart fell with sadness, and Hermione skipped over to the Gryffindor table, his friends would now hate her. Trying to see on the bright side, Dudley clapped along with Hufflepuff for their new knights, until finally, after of what seemed hours, Harry's name was called.

"Potter, Harry!"

Many whispers fled through the Grand Hall, and a few growls came from next to him, who Dudley supposed was from Susan. He booed quietly, as most of the school went silent.

"GRYFFINDOR!"

The Gryffindors cheered, Susan and Dudley shared happy little winks and the rest of the school moaned, the rest of the sorting seemed unimportant now. Dudley was starving!

"Weasley, Ronald!"

Dudley soon learnt that Harry's best friend was called Ronald, and he was sorted into Gryffindor as well. He couldn't help but be glad his parents never allowed him to be friends with Harry.

"Zabini, Blaise!"

After a few seconds, he was made Slytherin. Life couldn't be more perfect. "I'm starving!" moaned Ernie, who had also been made Hufflepuff, lifting up his plate, staring underneath. "When will it be served?"

"Quit moaning Ernie! Dumbledore is about to speak!" hissed Susan, kicking him under the table.

"Why do we even care about Dumbledore? He's a Gryffindor!" Dudley pointed out and the other three nodded in agreement, Ernie still grumbling under his breath.

"Follow me Hufflepuffs! Make way for the first years, if you're smart you'll get out of the way," Dudley's prefect yelled, nudging a Ravenclaw out of the way. "Please follow me towards your common room!"

"You would've thought he was the best in the school," murmured Ernie, as Susan and Hannah giggled sheepishly. The prefect was good looking, and they had huge crushes on him. They wandered down into a small corridor, with a huge portrait of some fruit and some barrels. Almost lazily, the Hufflepuff prefect began tapping the barrels in some sort of song and it opened up, showing the Hufflepuff common room. "The start of term party will begin shortly, I advise you get comfy in the common room and wait for some seventh years to come," he announced and everybody poured in, chatting excitedly. What Dudley stood in was paradise. A yellow room with many dancing badgers around, and a fat monk standing in the corner. "Welcome first years! Please take some snacks, the party shall begin soon!" she yelled, before addressing some third years, who hurried out of the common room.

"Some sort of party, do you reckon all houses have one?" Susan asked, while Ernie shook his head.

"No, my dad was a Ravenclaw and he only got given a few books before heading to bed on his first night," he announced and they got a sofa, squishing themselves down before looking at some seventh years that had just arrived.

"That was some party," yawned Ernie as he drew the curtains of his bed and settled down to go to sleep. Dudley was too tired to talk, and instead only gave a small grunt before settling down. It had been a long day...

It was pretty impossible to find your way around Hogwarts, and Dudley kept on getting in trouble a lot. Homework soon was above the height of his bed and one evening he went to the library to work on it with Ernie, Hannah and Susan. They were discussing anything that came to mind. "I love cats. What's your favourite pet?" Susan asked.

"Pig."

"Owl."

"Pony."

"My favourite subject is Herbology, what's yours?" Hannah asked.

"Potions."

"Astronomy."

"Charms."

"My favourite professor is Quirrel, who's yours?" Dudley asked.

"Flitwick."

"Hooch."

"Sprout." It was fun asking questions, but Ernie's was Dudley's least favourite. "So, Dudley, how did you get so heavy?" Ernie asked again. "We are somewhere we can be ourselves; nobody else is in the library!" This didn't stop Dudley feeling nervous, but he spoke for his friends. "My parents wanted to show Harry that even though I wasn't famous or anything, I was better. They made me hate him and bully him!" he whispered, a few tears leaking out of his eyes. Hannah and Susan said they felt sorry for him and Ernie gave him a quick hug, before going to get a new book from the shelves. Then something impossible happened, Harry hugged Dudley. "I am sorry," whispered the famous one, winking at the others and going off. This was the best day of Dudley's life.

How did you like it? Please review and this is the last chapter sorry. I may never come back to this story, but if you guys want more I'll add a little bit about life with the Chosen One. A new fanfiction isn't coming out for a while, but I'm working on it.

P.S I don't write many chapters in Fanfictions, I just can't do it.
