Chapter 2
The Slytherin House
Draco had a grimace on his face, I knew how he felt about the peddling are way there it was tiring to do.
"Hold on we're almost there." The Furry Man said aloud while leading us in his in his boat in which he had alone.
"Hey, Harry what House do you think you're going to be placed in?" Draco asked looking back at me as we peddled.
"House, what do you mean?" I looked at him curious of what he was talking about.
"You don't know what a House is? Are you kidding me?" He asked looking at me quite awkwardly.
"No I'm afraid I'm not." I responded truthfully. He continued to look at me funny.
"We'll get placed into Houses at the begging that will automatically tell us what dorm rooms and tables we'll get and also I think it might help with classes and things like that…..just practically school stuff. I hope I get placed into Slytherin like my father and most of my family." Draco told me then he looked ahead at Hogwarts…
"Ok, then maybe I will be in the same…..unless there is something more interesting?" I asked him in cluelessness.
"Yes there are others like Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, but the worst is Gryffindor." He grimaced as he spoke the name of the final house.
"So Slytherin is the best?" I asked.
"Yes Harry it's the best of the best." Draco smiled when he said so. I thought that it was good to have a friend that knew about this stuff because I was pretty much clueless. We got to the other end and we all heard the furry man shout,
"We're here everybody get out of your boats and lets go." Both Draco and I climbed out of our boat and followed the rest of them into the school…. I looked around taking in my surroundings it was new to me on how strange and huge things were.
"Harry, what are you doing?" Draco asked giving me a look of curiosity.
"I was just looking this place is strange, it one of my first times being in the wizarding world. I've had to live with my Aunt Petunia and my Uncle Vernon they don't practice magic." I said as I continued to walk the still strange ground of Hogwarts.
"Muggles, Harry you live with them! How can you stand that garbage? "He asked with a sneer on his face.
"That's the thing I can't stand them at all the Dursleys treats me like trash. Dudley is a pig and his parents are worse than him…." I said enraged with my hatred at The Dursleys.
"They treat you like trash…They are the trash Harry." Draco smiled insuring me that he's on my side.
"Yeah they are." I said finally calming down.
"How about you come home with me my father will be happy that you are our guest. The Boy Who Lived, my father certainly will be pleased to have you in his home. Just watch out for the little monster." He warned.
"Little monster?" I asked with a confused look I gave him.
"My sister Ashlin, she annoying… She blames me for everything, even if I don't do It." he frowned, it kind of look like he had tasted something bitter. We finally walked inside I looked around in amazement the place was so big I felt like an ant at the moment and the cobblestone floors looked new, but I knew it probably wasn't. We were led through the halls and into a, what looked like a medieval cafeteria with four tables loaded with second, third, fourth, fifth, six, and seventh year students. We walked in the middle of them all. They looked at us like we were prey and they were vultures ready to strike whenever one of us dropped. The furry man turned and looked at us all then he had said,
"Strait line please we're going down." He boomed with his grizzly voice. All of the students had lined up including Draco and I did. The furry man took a seat and we waited, then an old man with a beard stood.
"Welcome first years to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry I am Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore though I am to just be known to you as Dumbledore or headmaster if you rather, and I thank you Hagrid for leading them all here as you do every year. Now to begin with you will all be sorted into your houses then we will feast." He took his seat after he finished his short introduction. Then an old lady had come in and set an old not in very good shape hat and a stool.
"My name is Minerva McGonagall, though you shall address me as Professor McGonagall. I will call you up by alphabetical order and you are to place this hat on your head." The old lady said. Professor McGonagall then started on the list of first years to be.
Then Draco's name was called and he had gone up there and set down. The hat was set on his head
"It's bright as day, or shall I say dark as night Slytherin!" It had said. Draco smiled and went over to the Slytherin table and took a seat and held one for me.
Then finally my name was called by Professor McGonagall and I nervously went up and took a seat. My stomach felt queasy as the hat was placed on my head I knew many eyes were placed on the sight that is me.
My thought were racing but then I thought,
'I just can't be place in Gryffindor, not Gryffindor.'
"Not Gryffindor aye? You would do well in Gryffindor but Slytherin as well…..hmmm well then Slytherin!" It had shouted the house I was to be in. I immediately felt happy inside the hat was taken off my head and I leaped off the stool and joined my only friend at the Slytherin table.
