Chapter 7: The School Year Begins
When all the first years were sorted with Ron and Ginny joining Harry and
Hermione in Gryffindor, the hall became filled with the chatter of students
both new and old. However, Harry sat silently at the Gryffindor table picking
at his food. Hermione who was sitting beside Harry noticed his somber mood and
gently nudged his side.
"Everything okay Harry?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah I'm fine." Harry mumbled, but he kept glancing over at the Slytherin table
were Draco was laughing with the other first year Slytherins. Hermione
catching Harry's glances followed his line of sight towards the Slytherin's
table and more precisely Draco and smiled gently guessing what was going
through his head.
"Don't worry Harry, I'm sure you and Draco will still be best friends even if
you are in different houses."
Harry turned sideways to look at Hermione and giving her a small smile "You really think so?" he asked.
Hermione was about to open her mouth to respond when Ginny, who was sitting
across from them answered, "Of course you're not going to be friends anymore. I mean if he was in
Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff then it might be different but he is in Slytherin and
everyone knows that Gryffindor and Slytherin hate each other."
Harry's smiled seemed to fade at Ginny's answer while Hermione and Ron just
glared at his sister. Ron loved his family don't get him wrong but sometimes
Ron couldn't believe he had a sister a twin sister like Ginny.
"Hermione's right mate, you and Draco have been best friends since you were two,
I'm sure that Draco won't let something stupid as being in different houses
affect your friendship." Ron tried to reassure him while still glaring at his
sister.
After trying to cheer Harry up some more and get him to eat, they mostly ate in
silence except whenever Ginny was trying to get Harry's attention. What seemed
like a life time the feast finally ended and the group joined the rest of the
Gryffindor first years gathered around Ron's older brother Percy who was the
Gryffindor prefect. As they were leaving the Great Hall they ran into the
Slytherin's.
"Watch were you're going Weasley." the Slytherin prefect Marcus Flint sneered.
"You watch it Flint." Percy sneered right back.
Marcus just laughed and led the first years Slytherins out of the hall, but
before they vanished Draco turned around and smiled at Harry giving him a
small wave. After the Slytherins exited the hall, Percy continued to lead them
to the Gryffindor tower, but all the way there Harry had a smile on his face
knowing that he didn't need to worry about his and Draco's friendship.
The next morning Harry was up bright and early so that he could see Draco and
talk with him. He got dressed then brushed his teeth and as he was leaving woke
Ron and his other roommates Neville, Dean, and Seamus telling them that they
need to get up and that he would see them down at the Great Hall for
breakfast. As soon as he entered the Great Hall he began to search for Draco
at the Slytherin table. Spotting him sitting and the end of the table
surrounded by the other first year Slytherins with a pug nosed girl he
recognized as Pansy Parkinson walked over. When he stood behind Draco he
cleared his throat to get his attention.
Hearing someone clearing their throat behind him, Draco turned around and when
he saw that it was Harry smiled and was about to say hello when Pansy
interrupted him.
"What do you want Potter this is the Slytherin table." she sneered at him.
Harry just rolled his eyes Pansy. He didn't care that she was being rude to
him as she has always hated him because of his friendship with Draco.
"Not that it's any of your business but I'm here to talk with Draco." Harry
replied.
"What's up Harry?" Draco asked as he too rolled his eyes at the way Pansy was
acting.
"Nothing really just thought I would see how you were doing before class since
we didn't get to talk after the fest last night."
"And what makes you think he wants to talk to you Potter you're a Gryffindor
now we don't associate with your lot." Pansy spoke again.
"That's enough Pansy!" Draco snapped
Pansy was about to snap back but in the end just closed her mouth, crossing
her arms and glaring at Harry. Harry just silently laughed at her and was about
to say something to Draco when he saw Professor Snape leaving the teachers
table and head towards the Slytherin table and start passing out their time
tables decided it was time to leave.
"I'll see you later in classes Draco." he said and turned to walk to the
Gryffindor table.
"See you later Harry!" Draco yelled after him.
Reaching the Gryffindor table he sat down to start eating when Ron, Hermione,
Neville, Dean, Seamus, and Ginny enter the Great Hall. Seeing Harry sitting
alone they joined him with Ginny elbowing Hermione out of the way before she
could sit beside Harry. Hermione just rolled her eyes at Ginny and sat down by
Ron and started piling food onto her plate. McGonagall soon arrived with their
time tables and everyone eagerly started looking at what classes they would
have today.
"Oh look Harry we have Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Charms with
Slytherin!" Hermione said.
"Oh joy." Ginny said sarcastically
Just then the bell rung to single that class was about to start. Scrambling to
gather their things Harry and his friends made their way down to the dungeons
for Potions. As they rounded the corner to the class room he saw that the
Slytherins were already outside waiting. Walking to stand beside Draco he
gently nudged him and smiled. Draco nudged him back and smiled while rolling
his eyes. That's what Harry loved about being around Draco it was so easy for
him to hold a conversation with him without having to speak.
Hearing the classroom door open everyone turned towards the door where
Professor Snape stood in the door way.
"Well come on I don't have all day!" He said and waved them all into the
classroom.
Rushing in the room everyone was scrambling to find seats. Draco and Harry
were about to sit at a table in the back corner of the room when Pansy grabbed
Draco's arm and dragged him across the room to another table and Ginny took a
seat beside Harry. Grumbling, Harry dug into his book bag for his potion
potions book and waited for Professor Snape to start class.
An hour later with Snape lecturing on about all the different potions they
were going to be brewing this year the bell rung singling the end of class.
Gathering their things everyone rushed out of the room rushing to get to their
next class. As he was about to leave the room Harry felt a tap on his
shoulder. Turning around he saw Draco standing there with a small smirk on his
face.
"Forgetting something Potter?" Draco drawled.
Smirking back at Draco Harry replied, "How can anyone forget about you Dray?"
Draco just smirked even bigger and grabbed Harry's hand and dragged him out of
the classroom and to their next class. Harry just let himself be pulled along
smiling the whole time knowing that his and Draco's friendship would be alright.
