Chapter Ten: Sorting Hat needs prozac
Hermione bent over and picked up the dropped food. Harry stood and watched. She hadn't yet changed into her robes and wore newly purchased wizarding cloths. She had on a scarlet knit sweater and a black dragon hide pant thingy. 'Wow,' thought Harry ' I can see panty lines' and drunken grin spread across his face. Hermione righted herself, opened the compartment with one hand, and sat down in a seat. Harry sat in the seat he had originally claimed and poured the food onto the floor. Neville, Ginny and Luna dug in. A peaceful silence enveloped the compartment and people looked around and smiled at each other. Harry looked at Hermione and their eyes met. She quickly turned away in a nervous jerk. Harry looked at the chocolate frog in his hands as it struggled. Harry clapped his hands and the frog spattered onto the wall.
"Harry, I know that it isn't alive, but please, it is the whole idea of killing an animal," Ginny whined. Harry shrugged and picked up another frog that was already frozen and ate it. Ron entered the compartment moments later with a very large supply of snacks to add to the ever-shirking pile of food in the compartment. Ginny and Luna began to talk and Neville went out to the lavatories. Ron stretched his lanky arms and yawned. His eyelids drooped, and a minute later, he was out cold leaning onto Hermione. She looked up from her book, smiled at Ron and then turned back to her reading.
"If that were me you would have gone nutters," Harry said softly. He was quite annoyed that she was giving him such a cold treatment.
"Would it me you now? Or a month ago?" Hermione asked with contempt. He shook his head and shrugged.
"I just don't understand why it bloody matters," Harry said, keeping his voice surprisingly even.
"Harry, you changed everything by-," she looked over at Luna and Ginny, who were still deep in conversation. "A romantic kiss shared by two intimate people is fine but-," she paused looking over at Ron and poked him in the gut.
"Mum?" Ron slurred in deep sleep. Hermione seemed satisfied with the result.
"When two great friends share something like that it comes with feelings and an unavoidable change in relationship," Hermione finished.
"I didn't think about the fall out of my action, sorry," Harry said sarcastically. " Want a relationship with you." Harry said with quite desperation.
Hermione looked pained and quickly transferred her glance to the girls.
"I think that you should hook up with my brother," Ginny was saying.
"Wouldn't it be strange knowing that your friend has seen your brothers 'little friend'?" Luna asked sincerely. "I have seen it my self I don't see why it should change how I feel about you," Ginny answered matter-of-factly.
"Hermione, why aren't you on the same page as them?" Harry asked.
"Harry, what do you take me for a whore!" Hermione said sharply, "I have feelings attached to my actions and I want to understand why I do what I do"
"So in other words you don't want to kiss me because you're afraid to lose control?" Harry asked, his grin could be heard.
"That was not what I say," Hermione said loudly.
"But that was what you meant!" Harry teased.
Hermione looked uneasily at now staring Ginny and Luna. "Harry, we will finish this conversation later," With that she pushed Ron off her shoulder and opened her book back up.
The rest of the train ride was ridden in relative silence. Harry was fairly confident that Ginny and Luna had no idea what they had been talking about and the only mystery that remained was the length of Neville's loo visit. (Came back flushed nearly a half hour later.)
They exited the train and Harry heard a gasp beside him as the members in his compartment saw the thestrals drawing the carriages. Hermione, Ron, and Harry took one as Dean, Ginny, Luna and Neville climbed into a neighboring buggy.
They entered the Great Hall that looked the same as usually. Harry looked at the staff table and was relieved to find familiar faces. His eye scanned the table for a Defense against the Dark Arts teacher but failed to locate one. Harry heard Hagid's hearty laughter from behind and saw Professor McGongall lead a batch of frightened wet first years to the front of the hall. She placed the sorting hat down on the stood and stepped back.
**
In times of war
The sorting hat did know
To put the child in house
To be trained for on coming battle.
Those who's loyal hearts do seek
Justice, equality and kindness
Hufflepuff may be your house
A place of untainted desires
Those who have capacity for knowledge
Would do best in sage house Ravenclaw
Wise and clever beyond your years
Strategy will be your calling and ultimately
Your weakness
Those who are brave are the strongest fighters.
Intelligence and power you will have no trouble to gain
Putting it to use will prove a greater challenge
Gryffindors are bold and brave
This house full of risk takers is prefect for those willing.
Those who feel hesitation to loyalty
Thrive on power and wealth
A Slytherin is sly and cunning
And often as twisted as a knot
This house will serve you well
Giving you the tools but you must be the ones to use them
Hogwarts has seen many battles.
The houses must unite
A resistance is as powerful as it's weakest link.
No matter what side you join
Keep what is important close to your heart.

The hat fell silent. A cough echoed though the full hall. No one moved. Even Dumbledore stared at it. He stood and cleared his throat "quiet a different song," His eyes twinkled and he motioned for the sorting to begin. McGongall unrolled a parchment and gave an appraising look to the new students.
Addol, Keith was placed in Ravenclaw
Bart, Hana went to Hufflepuff
Daffle, David joined Gryffindor
So on and so forth Gryffindor also received:
Donmen, Fin (male)
Flank, Post (male)
Holister, Jane
Johnson, Petal (Female)
Larth, Mack (Male)
Marcus, Scott
Wang, Lynne
Zany, McClout (female)
Ron and Hermione bustled off after dinner before Harry had a chance to talk to her, no doubt taking the first years up to the common room. Harry walked up slowly to the tower. He drew near and began to walk faster. Suddenly a hand grabbed his collar and gave him a good tug into an empty classroom.
