CHAPTER 4:
TIME SKIP TO SEPTEMBER 1st:
Harry and Alyssa had been living on Ravenclaw Island, because it had so many books to study for their first school year at Hogwarts. They had seen all the properties that they owned, taken control of all of the wards, and learnt alllearned they could about the properties in the short time that they had. They had many house elves, which felt very strange, as they were both very used to getting things done on their own. So, when September 1st came around, and since Harry had an eidetic memory, so everythingeverything he read stayed in his head forever, and made studying very easy. By knownow he had already read through and perfected all first-year spells for transfiguration, charms, and Defense against the dark arts. For himself, he also studied the dark arts together with Alyssa. It was a challenge, unlike all the so calledso-called "light" magic, which was very easy.
So after he and Alyssa packed their trunks, they used the floo to get to Platform 9 and ¾ in Kings Cross Station, which is where the Hogwarts Express came from. They appeared on Platform 9 ¾ with a wooshwhoosh of fire. They dusted themselves off, and boarded the train, trunks in hand. They boarded the train and found an empty compartment. A pair of redheads that looked like twins came into the compartment. "Hello. My name is Gred Weasley, and this is Forge. Pleasure to meet you!" Harry and Alyssa smirked, and Harry replied, "Hello. My name is Harry Rosier. Can I assume that you plan on being the resident tricksters here, assuming you are first years like us?" Forge, (Harry thought) grinned and said, "yYou betcha. Now who is this lovely lady next to you?" Alyssa said, "Alyssa Anna Bellisario" ""pPleasure to meet your acquaintance, Ms. Bellisario." The twins sat down, and they had fun. Talked, played exploding snap, in which the Weasley twins won every game, and ate candy. "soSo what house do you think you'll be sorted into?" asked Harry. The twins responded simultaneously, "we We think it would normally be Slytherin, but since our family religiously hates Slytherins, we are going to be sly and ask to be put in Gryffindor, and be two snakes in a lion's den." Harry had considered doing something similar, but maybe be put in the loyal house of Hufflepuff who's students were very loyal, and that he could manipulate into being his cult. "pProbably Slytherin," said both Harry and Alyssa. "bBecause where either of us goes, the other will always follow, no matter what." The Twins shared a look. "soundsSounds like a motto," said Forge. The rest of the train ride went by quickly, thankfully no one else bothered them.
The train screeched to a halt in a small town. Harry noticed a sign that said read "Hogsmeade Station". Theyn all of the students disembarked, and Harry heard a giant of a man bellow, "First' Years! Firsts' Years! This way!" a A stream of small bodies followed the giant of a man to a river, while Harry noticed the older kids going another way. The giant man took them to a river, where he noticed many boats moored at a dock. "noNo more than four to a boat!" the giant man bellowed. Harry, Alyssa, Gred, and Forge all got into a boat. The Giant man yelled, "FORWARD!" and with a slam of his umbrella against his boat, the fleet began to move. Soon, they were rounding a corner, waiting with bated breath for what lay beyond it. He noticed a fat boy who was in the same boat as Draco get pulled under by a think with, were those tentacles?! "theThe giant squid!" exclaimed one of the Twins. "ouOur brother told us about it. It always spits the kid back out. See, watch." Just as predicted, the fat boy was spat up moments later and landed with a kerplunk on his boat. He was soaking but otherwise unharmed.
When they rounded the corner, everyone let out a gasp of surprise. The biggest castle they had ever seen was looming in front of them, and it had a very strong magical signature that both Harry and Alyssa could feel, and it almost overwhelmed them. When the boats finally arrived, they disembarked and with the fat boy still soaking wet, they walked up to the huge gate made of iron with golems guarding the door. They stared intimidatingly at the first years but softened when they saw Harry. Harry thought that this must've been because he owned 50% of the castle and was therefore their master.
When the iron gates swung open, Harry saw a great entryway that they were to walk into. The group of tiny bodies moved as one and in awe into the room, crowding themselves. There was an old woman standing at the doors on the other end of the hall, and the giant man called out to her, "Professor McGonagall, the first years as requested." "thankThank you, Hagrid. You can go and take care of the thestrals now," Hagrid left, and McGonagall started speaking. "alAlright. Now you lot are what we call First Years at Hogwarts. You will be here for seven years, and you will learn the art of magic. When we enter the great hall, the entire school will watch you be sorted into one of our four different houses. We have Gryffindor, the home of the brave, Hufflepuff, the home of the loyal, Ravenclaw, the home of the studious, and Slytherin, the home of the cunning and sly. You will go onto a pedestal, place a hat on your head, and it will look into your mind to see which house best fits your personality. Wait here for a couple of moments while I ready the hall for your arrival."
The first years were quiet for a bit, but then the whispers started. First, they were just nervous, but then they became anxious. "myMy brothers told me we were going to have to fight a Troll!" someone whispered. He heard Draco snort. "aA troll? Who would ever be so stupid to believe that?!" the boy immediately quieted and whispered, "sorrySorry." Draco appeared satisfied, but then Harry called out to him. "isIs that any way to treat a classmate, little Dragon?" Draco shook his head in fear. "No, My Lord. It is not." "so thenSo then why don't you apologize for the embarrassment you've caused him?" Draco nodded submissively and said, "I'm sorry," loud enough for the boy to herear. Harry looked to theat the boy, and he nodded to him. It was adequate.
Then, a gasp of surprise came from the back of the room. A dozen pearly white transparent figures started floating above the first years, and a fat one was saying, "I think we should give Peeves another chance. He'll do better this time." a A gaunt looking man responded," How many chances are we going to give him? I say we get rid of him already." "Oh! Ickle Firsties!" exclaimed the fat lady one. "hHope to see you in Hufflepuff! My old house, you know." The floating creatures floated straight through the door and into the great hall. The first years began whispering vigorously to each other after they left.
The doors swung open and revealed Professor McGonagall, and she ushered them into the great hall. The crowd of first years flooded into the great hall, and Harry was awestruck again, for the fourth time today. When he looked up, there was no CEILING! Instead, it looked like they were underneath openunderneath the open sky. "myMy brother also said they charmed it to make it look like the sky outside"," said the same boy. Soon they were all told to line up in order of names, and Alyssa was second, whereas Harry was about sixth to last. He saw Hanna Abbot was sorted into Hufflepuff, and when McGonagall called out, "Bellisario, Alyssa," whispers by most of the purebloods started, because they had all believed the line extinct. When She was sorted into Slytherin, Harry knew that she had asked the hat to do that for her, as she knew that that is where Harry wanted to be to gain the most followers. the The sorting went by pretty fast with the distribution between houses being pretty even, but then Harry was up. "Potter, Harry," the whispers started up again. "Potter? But I didn't know the Boy who lived had a brother," "Not many do!" Harry called out. The staff table was also in shock at the name, with Dumbledore clearly scheming and plotting a way to bring Harry under his thumb. He thought that he knew nothing of the magical world, or of the titles that he would inherit someday.
Harry stepped up onto the pedestal and placed the hat on his head. "ahAh. What an interesting mind you have. Oh! And the darkness in here. Dumbledore would try to get you on the right path to be a martyr for the greater good. Oh! And what is this? You are the true boy who lived? That will be a sight to behold once the world knows," Harry suddenly freaked. "ohOh don't' worry Master Slytherin-Ravenclaw. I have been charmed to not speak of what is in someone's mind to anyone," Harry sighed in relief. "Now, where to sort you. I see that you are very cunning. You are somewhat reckless, but always wanting to take time to make your decision. You absorb books as easily as you breath. You are loyal only to those who deserve it, and currently that is only one person, and she is in Hufflepuff. Where to put you? I have never seen a mind this complex." "Slytherin would do nicely," Harry said. "vVery true. Very true. I also don't have much stock in this world so why would I care about what happens to it. Brittanain is so corrupt it's crazy. Alright, you got your wish. SLYTHERIN!" the hat agreed and yelled out. Harry confidently walked over to the Slytherin table who was were all quiet. Apparently, everyone thought he would go to Gryffindor where his parents were. HA! He was nothing like his parents, and they would soon learn that.
He noticed that the only people that had gotten out of thereir shock were the few first years at the Slytherin table, and one staff member. Dumbledore and McGonagall regained regainedMcGonagall regained their composure and the sorting recommenced. No one else was sorted into Hufflepuff, and the only first years that they Slytherin had were Him, Alyssa, Daphne Greengrass, Millicent Bulstrode, Baize Zabini, Theodore Nott, Tracy Davis, Vincent Crabbe, Pansy Parkinson, Gregory Goyle, Draco Malfoy, and Fey Dunbar.
AN:
Just to clarify, Harry is the same age that he was in cannonon. So, all of Harry's original classmates from cannon are in his year, except for Ron Weasley.
Fred and George are the same age as Harry, so about three years younger than they were in cannon.
