I seriously forgot to add a disclaimer to this (and all the other stories hehe, so here it is). No, I don't own Harry Potter or any of the characters contained within its content.

Thank you for reviewing again achildwithbloodstaineddagger snd musicloveR090. Sometimes I seriuously think you guys are the only people that actually read any of this. If you do read this and don't atleast reveiew, you may be the cause of the abrupt end of this story. So... no pressure.

"Malfoy, Lucius" an old woman read from the clip-board in her hand. Lucius slowly walked to the sorting hat. The strut of assurance left no question to which house he would be sorted into. Although on the inside, he was a cringing mess.

He gracefully perched himself atop the stool and let the woman's aged fingers place the dusty hat onto his straight platinum locks. That is when the darn thing began to mutter. "Oh, couragous definetly. But smart as well. You're a clever one little Malfoy. Much too brave for Ravenclaw. To emotional for Hufflepuff. It seems you'll be a Griffindor." "No!" Lucius whispered urgently.

The sorting hat sighed. "Yes. I see what you'll become. I am a hat beyong time Mister Malfoy. If this is truley the path you choose to follow, then you have sealed your own fate. Are you sure of your decision?" the old leather asked quietly.

With a knodd from the boy, the hat let out a loud,"Slytherin!" The green and silver table erupted into aplause. He sauntered towards the waiting group of his peers. All faces showing fake smiles, reminding him vaguely of his father.

Looking across the room, he spotted a girl walking to the Griffindor table and being greated with warm, open grins of welcome. All of which were real. The girl was rather pretty. Her hair was a light redish-brown. Her face smiling. She met his gaze and blushingly turned away.

He turned back to his house mates and saw their slowly fading interest in him. He began to stare at the table with a sour expression on his face.

And for not the first time in his short life did Lucius Malfoy wonder if he had made the right decision.
