Authors Note: Holy shit... I posted 3 chapters and I had favorites and follows all day. To be honest I didn't think this story would be this popular. Thanks to all those who favorited and followed my story and me! You've all been a huge help! On to the story!
The first years stood in front of two large doors and the large man left them with the same woman from the office. Harley and the rest of the students still had the feeling they shouldn't mess with her.
"I am Professor McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress, and Transfiguration professor. When you walk through these doors you will be sorted into your houses. The houses are Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. If you do something bad you will lose points. You do something good and you earn points. Your house will be like your family. So, earn points to help your house. Wait here until we are ready for you." McGonagall said, going into the large room in front of them.
The students began to whisper quietly together. A girl with a pug-like face sneered at the group of kids.
"I head that Harley Potter was going to be at Hogwarts. You must be her." She sneered down at Harley
The pug like girl noticed her collar and laughed mockingly.
"Is that a collar? What are you, a dog? Ha! Who knew the girl who wouldn't die would live to become someone's dog?" She said loudly, drawing other's attention to Harley's collar.
The moment the muggle-borns saw the collar they screamed and backed away from Harley, knowing exactly what that collar meant.
"Wh-why would the Girl-Who-Lived be wearing that collar?!" A random muggleborn asked hysterically
Harley ignored everyone and just stared at the large doors in front of her. A few others screamed randomly, and Harley looked behind her to see a few ghosts floating through the crowd of students.
"Forgive and forget I always say. Let's give him another chance. Oh! Are you students? About to be sorted I suppose. I hope to see you in Hufflepuff, my old house." One of the ghosts said, noticing the students
The doors opened, and McGonagall reappeared.
"We're ready for you." She said
She leads the students into the large room. Harley had to admit, the room was amazing. I had 4 large tables that held a lot of students and the roof looked like the night sky with floating candles above them.
"I read in Hogwarts: A history, that the ceiling was charmed to look like the sky." Harley heard Hermione saying behind Ron, Draco, and her.
Suddenly the hat in front of them began singing.
(Insert song from book one of Harry Potter, The Sorcerer's Stone)
"Stand in a line. When I call your name, you will come up and I will place the sorting hat on your head and you will be sorted into your new house." McGonagall explained
She began to read off the name of each student.
"Hannah Abbott." She became a Hufflepuff
So on and so forth the list went. Draco became a Slytherin while Hermione became a Ravenclaw. Soon it was Harley's turn.
"Harley Potter."
Harley threaded through the group of students and sat on the stool while the hat was placed on her head and a voice whispered into her ear.
"Hmm, interesting, very interesting. You have a strange mind. Wait, what is this? What?! Oh my god. What kind of place have you been, child?! All of this death and torture and you haven't gone insane?!" The hat said, becoming hysterical in the end
"Whoever said I was sane, to begin with?" Harley thought to the hat
"Gryffindor would be great because you faced this head on. Slytherin would work as well because you were cunning enough to stay alive. Ravenclaw would work too because you used the information provided and Hufflepuff as well because you are loyal to those you trust, and you work hard to protect yourself and them." The Hat explained
"Honestly, I don't care where I go. It's just a house system during school. The moment you leave, this house system is meaningless." Harley said, bored
"Hmm, then, better be" The hat began
"SLYTHERIN!" The hat called out
The entire hall was silent for a few moments before the green and silver house clapped loudly. Harley took off the Hat and placed it on the stool before going to the table that was clapping. Harley sat down between Draco and someone else and stayed silent as she watched the sorting like the rest of the students.
The last child to be sorted was Blaise Zabini who ended up in Slytherin. The Headmaster stood up and looked at everyone with his arms spread out wide.
"Welcome new students to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and welcome back older students. I have a few words to say. Nitwit, Blubber, Oddment, Tweak." He sat down, and the entire school clapped.
Harley blinked and turned her eyes to the table where an entire feast now sat, and she blinked in surprise before doing as the other children were doing and grabbed some food and placing it on her plate.
Conversations went on around her and she ate her food silently, keeping an eye on the children in case something did happen.
The food vanished after a bit and was replaced with desserts. Grabbing a piece of cake, she ate it just as silently as she did while eating dinner. Soon the food vanished, and the headmaster stood once more.
"Now that we are all fed and watered I have a few important announcements to make. The Forbidden forest is still, in fact, forbidden. I highly recommend that you do not go near the third-floor corridor unless you want to die a gruesome death. Now we shall sing the school song, pick a tune and off we go."
The school began to sing a song that had no rhyme or rhythm. The last people who sang were a pair of twins that the Headmaster waved his fingers too and wiped a tear from his eye.
"Ah, music, a magic beyond all we do here. Now, off you trot." He said, sitting back down
"Slytherin first years, follow me!" A voice called out and the first years followed the unknown person who called for them and made their way to their common rooms.
