"I want to be resorted" Harry repeated slowly, as if he was speaking to a child. Harry relished the way that annoying sparkle faded from Dumbledore's eyes. 'He wasn't expecting that! The look on his face is so worth the wait' thought Harry as he took a seat by the door. "Why do you want to be resorted Harry? I thought you were doing really well in Gryffindor" spoke Dumbledore.
Harry narrowed his green eyes and stared at Dumbledore. 'So, he's going to deny my request? I'll see about that!' Harry noticed the small shiver that racked the Headmaster's frame. "If I was happy in a house that always turned their backs on a misguided boy, than I wouldn't be here asking to be resorted, now would I?" The sarcasm was thick enough to cut with a knife. Obviously, Harry was just leading Dumbledore on, just like the Headmaster had done to Harry tons of times before.
"Besides, I've changed. I know longer feel comfortable around judgmental people like them." Dumbledore stared into Harry's dead looking eyes. "Would you like to explain why you think you have changed?" Harry looked at the Headmaster in disgust. What kind of person could live a life like Harry's and not be affected by it? Harry would really like to meet that special person. "No, I don't think I want to tell you why I feel I've changed. I want to be sorted now, before the Feast and I would like it to be a private sorting. Would you please have the other Heads of Houses come up here?" Harry relaxed into the chair.
"You do realize that there is the chance that you will be resorted into Gryffindor, correct?" Harry nodded. They really needed to get a move on it if they were going to be in time for the Sorting to begin. Harry said this to Dumbledore. Besides, Harry wanted to sit with his new house. It would be a shock to everyone. Since everyone was so sure that Harry was a bad wizard, than this would further their suspicions. After all, you have to cause a little noise to be heard. "Are you sure about this Harry?" The old wizard looked so sad and weary as if he also knew that Harry would no longer be in Gryffindor House.
"I'm positive Headmaster" Dumbledore nodded his head and summoned all four Heads of House. When they walked into the room, they all paused and stared at Harry, curious. Harry raised one raven black eyebrow and stared right back at them. 'No more scared little Potter boy!' he thought. His dark hair covered his forehead and his green eyes peaked out between strands of his dark hair. "Getting into trouble already, Potter?" a cold voice drawled. "No Professor. Have you?" his deadened gaze met that of his Potion's Master. 'Be afraid Snape. Be very afraid.' A small grin stretched itself across his face. Snape frowned lightly at Harry.
"No, Severus, Harry has done nothing wrong. I called you four here at Harry's request." MacGonagall interrupted Dumbledores' explanation. "But why do you want us all here Mr. Potter? Surely it could wait until after the Sorting Ceremony?" Harry frowned slightly at the Professor. "Harry asked to have you all here as witnesses to his resorting." Everyone froze at Dumbledore's words. Harry sat back and grinned his unsettling grin. 'Maybe I'll finally make some real friends that understand. Than I can die happy.'
AN: This chapter doesn't settle on Harry's emotions, instead it starts the process of his changing. Thanks again for all those who review and keep coming back for more1 Sadly though, I haven't received any flames yet! Will someone please flame? Just a tiny one? ~Ta- ta for now!
