Arriving at Hogwarts, Draco set out among the masses in search of the new, mysterious Potter on whom his mind had been focused for the remainder of the journey. Finally finding him, holding back beyond the crowd with a look of disdain on his face which even his godfather, Severus would be proud of, at the general activity of the student body. Hanging back from Potter, He saw a scene that no Slytherin or the entire school thought would happen. Potter pushed the mudblood away from himself and striding off, leaving the Weasel spewing a string of vitriol comments his way.
Setting off to the Great Hall, Draco decided that instead of his usual weasel-baiting, he would observe Potter like only a true Slytherin knows how. Settling down, Draco glanced over to the Gryffindor table realising, almost immediately, the absence of Potter and wondered how his little "riddle" had already disappeared from him.
During his wonderings, the first year sorting concluded and just as Dumbledore was about to announce the new Defence against the Dark Arts professor, a swirl of black mist swept under the doors of the Great Hall and drifted over the tables of the four houses leaving them all in a state of darkness and despair. The black mist began to settle next to Dumbledore on the stage. As the teachers all scrambled with their wands, the mist disappeared to reveal Harry Potter dressed as he was on the Train. Whispers roamed throughout the room. And Dumbledore looked surprised if not slightly scared of what was happening.
"Dumbledore, McGonagall, Good day to you both!" Harry said whilst smirking at the look of the teachers faces. "Sorting Hat as requested and desired I have returned to be resorted in my rightful house." Placing the hat on his head, Harry spoke quietly with the hat before..
"Student of Hogwarts, Mr Potter has allowed me to broadcast our little discussion for your…benefit!"
"Mr Potter….well yes….I know it is not time for them to know that yet but the time shall come soon as you know full well. But yes, this house will definitely be better suited to your personality and talents if they accept you. And as your little display of your power as enough to have most of the students terrified, it should take them too long!"
"Sorting Hat, I know it's your thing to go and round the castle and through the dungeon door! Before reaching the conclusion but many of the students and teachers look confused!! Shall we enlighten them???" Harry said, as students and teachers alike were basked in a glow of pure white.
"Showy!!! I must admit. Therefore I'll come to a close and finally welcome Mr Harry Potter to the Slytherin house!!!" At that announcement, many thuds were heard around the hall as students fainted. Severus Snape was already wishing that he'd been Avada Kedavra'd at the last death eater meeting and Draco, well Draco was waiting with an outstretched hand for the newest Slytherin. Ron and Hermione looked on, eyes fixed upon the figure of Harry gliding towards Draco wondering if he would take his hand.
As Harry grasped Draco's hand, a cry of "Slytherin Scum!!" rang out from the Gryffindor table as Hermione struggled to hold back a fuming Weasley. "You should have been there from the start Potter!!" rang. As one, members of both Slytherin and Gryffindor prepared for an all out duel, Slytherin, ready to defend their house and apparently their new member as far the other houses could tell and Gryffindor, in an attempt to distance themselves from their ex-housemate.
