When Draco and Harry had flood to The Great Hall, they'd be welcomed by a stern looking professor. 'Welcome at Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I am Professor McGonagall, would you please follow me?' she said. Draco and Harry had nodded and followed the Professor to an adjecant room to the Entrance Hall. 'You boys ar the first. The rest of the firstyears will arrive within minutes. Haven't you any luggage with you?' she asked. 'I have.' Draco drawled. Fishing a shrunken trunk out of his robe pocket 'Father have been spelling it so it would be easier to carry around.' She nodded, then adressed Harry. 'Haven't you any luggage with you?' Harry nodded, then drawled Draco like, 'Sir Malfoy's father has spelled it for me since otherwise it would be to heavy to bring along.'
They had expected the question and already planned on their answers. They had brainstormed to find the most beleivable answer. 'Good,' said the Professor. 'If you don't mind waiting here alone? I have to welcome the other students that should be arrived by now.' After a nod from both boy the professor left the room.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a while the other first years studens had joined both boys in the room. Professor McGonagall had hold a short speach and afterwards they walked in a row back to the Great Hall where the other studens seemed to be waiting for them.
Professor McGonagall put down a stool with an old patched hat, then said, 'If I call your name you go seated on the stool and put on the hat'. Then she roled out a piece of parchment and began to read names.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry and his friend Draco were not paying attention. They were having a whispered conversation on things that were related, but not to obvious, to their still to be founded Dark Order. Ten students had already been sorten into a house and then the professor read, Malfoy, Draco. 'See you, Harry' Draco said when walking towards the stool. The head had almost touched his head when he called 'SLYTHERIN' Draco smirked and walked towards his respected house table, caring to leave a place open for his friend.
After another few people being sorted into their houses the Professor read 'Potter, Harry.'
Ignoring the stares and whispers from the other student Harry walked towards the stool, took the hat, sat down and put on the hat.
'ahhh you have quite a lot of ambition' a tiny voice in his head said.
'Dare to tell them to anyone or I'll curse you' threathened Harry
'Don't worry, I'll keep your secrets, but where should I place you?' The tiny voice said calmly
'Curse you if you put me not in Slytherin.' Harry inwardly snarled.
'If you think it is the best for you, then it woud indeed be…'
'SLYTHERIN' the had called aloud.
Harry smirked, put off the hat and walked towards the Slytherin table to sit with his friend, ignoring the visible shock of most of the students and teachers present.
'Don't look streight at the Headmaster, he will be definitly use his mind reading skills when he see you're looking.' Draco whispered
Harry looked out of the corner of his eye towards the staff table and saw that Professor Snape the only one was without an expression of shock on his face.
Somehow however, everybody seemed to restrain themselves after a few minutes had past, and the sorting ceremony went on to have the remaining students sorted.
Harry and Draco were already engaged into conversation when the Headmaster said a few words, and then the food apeared.
They enjoyed the food untill they had enough, Then, when all the other students were finished, the Headmaster stood up to say another few words.
This time Harry and Draco actually paid attention to it.
"First years should note that the forest on the grounds is forbidden to all pupils. And a few of our older students would do well to remember that as well. I have also been asked by Mr. Filch, the caretaker, to remind you all that no magic should be used between classes in the corridors And now, bedtime. Off you trot!"
The Slytherins stood up and followed their Prefect, Marcus Flint towards their common room. When they stood in fromt of a black wall The Prefect said, 'The Password is Venom' If anyone dares to forget it I'll curse him or her.' Before they went inside Sliphis suggested, 'I'm going to checkout on the Caster. I will you meet up with you at breakfast tomorrow'. 'Thats a good Idea. Be caareful, and please spy on our teachers if you happen to come across some'
When Sliphis slytheres out of Harrys seeve, some first year boy said 'Wow, a snake'. At that very moment every other Slytherin turned to the boy and saw the snake Slythering away from under Harry's robe. 'How have you smuggled it inside? ' some students asked.
'Will tell you, bot only in the safety of our common room' Harry said. Then they went inside and all Slytherins formed a circle onto Harry and Draco who stood nearby.
'Her name is Slyphis, I have permission from the Headmaster to have her staying with me, since else I hadn't agree with attending Hogwarts. I think he'd agree because I am a parselmouth.' Harry explained.
'Wow, cool' said the boy who at first had pointed all attention to Harry.
'It depends,' said Harry. 'Please withhold the information from the other houses. I rather prefer to keep it secret. Only because you guys are my housemates I decided to tell. Anyway, she can be a rather good spy so I think we all can benefit from her being here.'
'where is she going?' Draco asked, knowing his friend may not want to say the truth.
'Well, I readed in some bookk about the fact that there are hidden passageways into the school, I set her on exploring the caster'.
'Cool' said some older Slytherins. 'Hope she find some shortcuts we even havn't discovered'.
After Harry's little talk with the Slytherins, he'd decided he go off to bed. 'Why so early?' asked Draco. 'I would go too,' Harry said, 'I have lots in planning for tomorrow.'
Knowing that it would have to do something with the still to set up order, Draco decided he'd better off too. 'When they walked together to the first years dorm the boy that had saw the snake first walked towards them, extending his hand. 'My name's Blaze Zabini, Can we be friends?' he asked.
Draco looked at Harry. Harry said. 'I first want to know about your heritage, and about your opinions in relation to muggles.'
'I am a Pure Blood, if that is what you meant,' the boy said 'And I hate the filth'
'Draco do you know about his family?' Harry asked.
Draco nodded. 'as far as I know his family is related in someway to the Blacks, so I confirm hes blood status to be pure.'
'If that is true, I welcome you being friends with us' Harry said shaking Blaises hand. 'Excuse me for the questions, but I tend to chose my friends carefully.'
'I'll understand that' Blaize said. While shaking Draco's hand.
'Well, welcome to your little geng then' Draco smirked. 'I believe theres a lot you need to know about us, but we can deal with that tomorrow. I suggest we three go off to bed now, since Harry has lots of plans for tomorrow'.
Since the three boys were the first of the first years entering the dorm, they had choice from all the beds.
'Since I guess we'd have to sneak out often, I suggest sleaping closest to the door' Harry said. Thus they took the thee beds adjacent to eachother that were closest to eachother and prepared for the night.
