Chapter 7
Previously
"I thought you said your name was Malfoy-Snape not potter." George asked.
"The Potters abandoned my for Damien when I was five. Harry's parents adopted me along with my elder brother. "
"Well, it is their lost" George promise himself that he would ask Draco's hand for mirage. From what he had heard from his parents, Draco's parents were going to be at Hogwarts. He made a mental note to send a message to his parents after the feast.
George pov
I could not help but stare at Draco. He is so beautiful. I can see how protective his brother and friends are of him though. Like when Harry noticed me staring at Draco he wrapped his arm protectively around him. I like that. At least I would not have to worry about his safety.
"So are you guys transfers? I have never seen you in Hogwarts before."
"Yes. We are transferring from Durmstrang. Draco, Nicole and Brenda would be fifth years. While Harry, Chris and I would be in our sixth year."
They sat down and made some conversations. That is until it was time for them to get ready because the train was reaching the platform. Harry suggested that they go outside and let the girls and Draco get ready. Harry, Chris, Jamie, George and I stood up and left the compartment. When suddenly Harry pushed him to the Fred jumped to come to my rescue Jamie and Chris held him back.
"I would give you five minutes. Five minutes to tell me why you keep looking at my little brother like that"
"Harry, calm down George does not mean anything by it. He is not going to hurt Draco." Fred says as he tried to calm Harry down.
"I will calm down when he tells me why the sudden interest in Draco"
"I am a Veela" George says.
"I am guessing Draco is your mate"
"Yes"
Harry let go of him "You would have to get your parents to come to Hogwarts tomorrow evening. I will set a meeting with my parents"
"I will do that as soon as possible"
"Good. By the way, you hurt my Brother, I will come after you. Are we clear?"
"Crystal clear."
"Good"
The door opening interrupted them and the girls and Draco came out. He, Harry, Chris, Jamie and Fred went into the compartment and changed, after which they let the girls and Draco back in. Ten minutes later, the train reaches the Hogsmead. Fred and George separated from the rest, because harry, Draco, Breda, Nicole, Jamie and Chris has to be sorted with the first years.
Draco pov
Harry, our friends and I separated from Fred and George and made our way to the voice that was calling for the first years. The whole time I was in the company of the twins, I felt an odd connection with George. I wonder what that means. We got to the place where the first hears are gathered. Standing in front of the students is huge man
"Ah, you must be the transfers" He said to us
"Yes" Chris replied
"I am Hagrid. You would be coming with the first years and me. It is custom. You would have to be sorted along side with them"
With that they were led to the horseless carriages.
Harry, Benda, Chris and I shared a carriage. We got to Hogwarts. And I could only stare. I could feel a connection to the Hogwarts. I felt her trying to pass my occlumency shield and her let her in.
"Hello my child" a female voice said. Who would have thought that Hogwarts is actually a lady?
"Hello my lady"
"It I nice to finally meet you. The time has come for you to bond and claim me as your own. The sorting hat has been instructed to sort into Hogwarts house. When you get to your common room I will let you know what to do."
"Thank you." I said and closed the connection.
"Draco, are you ok? I have been trying to get your attention for the past five minutes." Harry said
"I am fine Harry. I was talking to Hogwarts. She says is time for me to claim Hogwarts"
"Ok"
We got to Hogwarts and were told to wait along with the first years at the entrance by Hagrid. A old lady with a pointed hat came and led us to the hall. I waved at papa, Jake and my godfathers. Professor Dumbledore stood up and gave his speech.
"Welcome," said Dumbledore, spreading his arms impressively to encompass the four house tables before him, "To another exciting year at Hogwarts. I would like to take this opportunity to extend a special welcome to Professor Severus Malfoy-Snape, he would be the new Potions Professor. Beside him is his assistant and son Jake Malfoy-Snape. We are very glad to have you with us and we hope that you will soon think of Hogwarts as your home." He paused for the students to applause. "There are a few transfers this year. They are from Durmstrang. They will be sorted after the first years. Let the sorting begin"
A old hat, which I presume was the sorting hat started to sing. When the song was finished hall burst into applause, much to Draco's confusion. What was so good about a singing hat? He felt sort of sorry for it. It must have a really sad life, if it just made up songs all year. He, his brother and their friends watched patiently as the first Years were sorted.
"Cristina Wiliams," called Professor McGonagall. A girl with red hair (and wasn't a Weasley, amazingly enough) walked up to the teacher. She was obviously nervous.
The hat thought for a second or two. "HUFFLEPUFF."
The sorting continued on at this pace. A boy named Rose Boot was a Ravenclaw while Lavender Brown became a new Gryffindor.
After a long wait, it got to his turn. The professor was about to read the name and paused. This got all the students to look at her in confusion. I knew at that moment it was I. I looked up at Harry and he smiled at me in encouragement. "Draconis Lucius Potter Malfoy-Snape-Gryffindor Ravenclaw-Slytherin-Hufflepuff," Called McGonagall in confusion. The prophecy is coming into place. There was a prophesy about the heir coming to claim Hogwarts. A lot of people where confused other people, because they did not know that there was another Poter. All over the great hall, whispers could be heard.
"Another Potter?"
"The great Boy-Who-Lived has a brother? I bet he's really jealous of his brother's fame."
"He is beautiful"
Tired of all the speculation, Draco stepped up and put the hat on his head.
He heard the hat gasp, than say quietly "Could you please lower your shields. It appears you're a natural at the mind arts." Draco, not really knowing what to do, just willed his mind to be unprotected. "Thank you," the hat said.
"Hello sir."
"Well, hello. It is a long time I meant child with manners. Now for your sorting," the hat muttered quietly. "I see you finally come. Hogwarts has been waiting for you. Lets sort you, shall we? You have a clever mind, very sharp. Rowena would love to make you hers. You are brave. As you don't shy away from a challenge, but won't go into a conflict without thinking about it first. You're also fiercely loyal to your family and friends. You are cunning. A true Hogwarts heir I see. I will put you in the house you belong. Well, you've been here long enough. You'll do great. Founder's house!"
The hall was shocked dead. Dumbledore broke it. "Draco while don't you can seat where you like. No one has ever been sorted in the founder's house. Professor McGonagall continue the sorting"
Draco looked around the different houses trying to decide where to seat. That is until he sported the twins. George was waving him over. He went to seat next to him. People were staring at him. It is starting to creep him out. Unconsciously Draco leaned slightly towards George. He returned his attention to the sorting and watched as his brother and friends were sorted.
Harry's pov
Harry watched as Draco was sorted into the founder's house. He could not help but feel proud. He looked at the head table and saw the shocked looks on the Potters faces and he smirked. He had seen the shocked looks when Draco name was called. he looked at his father and brother and saw the proud looks. He waited for his name to be called.
"Harrison Malfoy-Snape"
He went and sat on the stool and put the sorting hat on my head. The sorting hat began to speak
"Hello. You are Draco's brother. I can see you are protective of him"
"Yes I am"
"Good he is going to need it. I also can see that you have no wish to be separated from him. He would be lonely any way. Protect him. I know where to put" out loud "FOUNDER'S HOUSE"
Harry went to seat with Draco in the Gryffindor house. He sat and watched as their friends where equally sorted into the founder's house. When the sorting was done. Dumbledore stood up and said
"Let the feast begin"
After the feast he made his final speech.
"Now, a few start of term announcements before you all get to the feast. Please note that the Forbidden Forest remains so; a few of our more adventurous students would do well to remember this. He paused. "The list of banned items resides in its usual place in Mr Filch's office; I ask that all prefects peruse it at their leisure. Now, tuck in. I believe the house-elves outdid themselves this year." He paused. "The prefects lead the students to their dorm room. Could the transfer students follow me" He motioned for Lily, James, Sirius, Remus and Severus to come along. With that they all went to head master office.
