"First years. First years follow me!" shouted the giant of a man slurring his words as they boomed over the conversations ensuing around him. After getting everyone's attention he lead them down to some boats at an old dock. "four to a boat" he slurred again as the students got in fours and boarded the small boats.
Hiding in his robes to cover himself from the torrid rain Harry followed the huge man towards a dock yard with excited whisperings which he couldn't quite decipher but he didn't need to he already knew what they were whispering about or rather who.
After hearing the four to a boat rule Harry quickly jumped into a boat ignoring his surroundings not realising he got in the same one as the girl he acquainted earlier in the train ride.
A great castle stood in front of them impervious to the weather, awe-inspiring to every person who had their first look at it which was the desired effect from the boat rides which was well worth the dreadful weather to see a glimpse of the castle in it's true glory.
Again after seeing the castle the students ensued into gossiping about the sheer size and in a particular view beauty of the castle not realising they were approaching the dock due to them all being deep in conversation except one lonesome boy covered in black of his robes.
Once they had docked they were led by the giant again to the doors just before the great hall where he stopped and greeted a professor "The first years just as planned" slurred the giant to the elderly looking woman who had numerable wrinkles on her stern face with feline eyes dressed in scandalous green considering which house she was head of though the few that recognised here due to meeting her or from their parents telling them about the school.
Just in front of Harry to his irritation was his brother Jack and from his deductions a Weasley from his ginger hair and the quality of his robes which to say the least were poor 'just like his family' added Harry as an afterthought. The next thing Harry heard with his acute hearing was from the Weasley saying "I hears we have to fight a troll well that's what my brothers told me" the Weasley whispered to his brother nervously however, Harry heard this and had to hide a vicious sneer behind his occlumency mask to not draw attention to himself.
"First Years wait here to be sorted" exclaimed the professor as she fled down the hall causing the students to chatter amongst themselves but were interrupted by a scream from an obviously muggle-born girl from the pitch and the fact there were ghost floating around them greeting the first years hoping they would be in their houses particularly the Fat Friar.
Just as the Professor was approaching again a blonde boy stepped in front of Jack and proffered his hand saying, "I'm Draco Malfoy heir to the Malfoy fortune. I believe we should be friends" waiting with bated breath as Jack's face turned from a warm smile from the Weasley to a sneer as he replied, "Fuck Off You Death Eater spawn why would I want to be friends with you!" Jack nearly screamed as his face contorted with rage at the 'Death Eater spawn' as he forcefully pushed him away to the shock of the approaching professor.
"Mr Potter detention and you haven't even been sorted and you have already lost 50 points to the house you will be sorted in." said the professor sounding almost disappointed in his brother though Harry mentally snorting as she didn't realise what a disappointment he really was.
"Were ready follow me " called the Professor pushing the great doors open breaking Harry from his thought as they were lead through the hall and were told to line up next to a chair with a hat on it as the professor started calling names
"Hannah Abbot!"
"Hufflepuff!"
"Susan Bones!"
One by one the names were called causing the great hall to erupt in applause after each name where the students joined their house mates. Harry was paying attention to the sorting waiting for his turn until he heard her name
"Daphne Greengrass!"
The hat sat on her head for several minutes until it shouted
"Slytherin!"
"Draco Malfoy!"
"Slytherin!"
Again Harry stopped listening until he heard
"Jack Potter"
curious to where his brother would be sorted due to the fact of his massive ego and greed being defining Slytherin traits but he was loyal in a way to his parents mused Harry as the hall drowned in whispers about The-Boy-Who-Lived
"Gryffindor!" the hat screamed after several minutes upon Jack's head leaving Harry to be next suddenly feeling nervous he steeled himself behind his occlumency shields and stared imperiously shoulders back head held high back straight as he heard
"Hadrian Potter"
Suddenly the hall was engulfed in whispers wondering if he was Jack's twin, however during this Jack just sneered at his unworthy twin hating the small amount of attention he was getting due to their shared name.
Slowly approaching the chair walking like a proper pure-blood graceful yet to others he also had a predatory walk as well as deadly showing his magical power even at his tender age was astronomical.
Sitting in the chair Harry did a once over the hall with inquisitive eyes and waited for the hat to be dropped on his head by the professor.
Feeling a weight upon his head Harry panicked and rose his occlumency shields to the max hoping to keep the hat out, however heard amused chuckling in his head "impressive young Heir however I need to sort you so please lower your shields" asked the hat mentally, sensing Harry's reluctance it stated, "don't fret young heir I can't reveal your secrets" causing Harry to relax letting the hat in.
"Oh my what a wonderful mind you have young Heir you could almost go anywhere you are cunning to a fault but you also are loyal to those you trust which are too few but that may grow over the years" stated the hat pausing "Hmm you also value knowledge but believe knowledge isn't everything interesting. You are also brave so very brave but that isn't your defining character. Your ambition to be seen to be recognised to mean something to someone is your defining trait good luck in your endeavours young heir" stated the hat for the last time until it screamed in joy
"Slytherin!"
However this time no one clapped everyone was stunned into silence due to the unexpected placement of the brother of the Boy-Who-Lived to Slytherin no less, however eventually there were some slow quite claps here and there in the deathly quiet hall
After joining his house table Harry was shunned no one would talk to him or even sit next to him so he was stuck at the end of the table by himself like always he mused, however he didn't notice the piercing blue eyes staring at him calculatingly during the meal.
The Headmaster Dumbledore stood up preparing to do his quick warning speech
"AS you all know the forbidden forest is out of bounds and anyone caught there shall serve detention. Also, this year the corridor off to the side of the stairs on the third floor is out of bounds and if anyone were to go there they shall die a painful premature death" stated Dumbledore peering round the room "Now off you pop to bed" exclaimed the eccentric old man
A/N
And there you have it Harry's a Slytherin as well as Daphne I'm sorry to the people who wanted Ravenclaw it came down to a coin toss with heads being Slytherin and tails being Ravenclaw and you all read the result.
Sorry again as you all say it and know it the chapters are too short I'm not ignoring you I just can't physically at the moment force myself to type for that long as I don't want to ramble and ruin the chapter so when I've finished this story or when I have time I will edit all the posted chapters and condense several chapters into one so they have a bit more in them.
And lastly thank you everyone for let alone reading this it means so much to me and special thank you to everyone who follows, favourites and reviews as it shows me that people are enjoying the story making me want to continue and not abandon it due to school work needing the extra time for a boring homework project.
And for the final time thank you everyone peace
