2.Chosing Friends
A/N: I just wanted to say thanks a whole bunch to Jeanie Beanie! Thanks girl! ~
Harry, Ron and Hermione shared a boat crossing the creepy, dark lake. They talking about what they thought the inside of the castle would be like. Hermione knew a lot about the castle as she already read the whole book called Hogwarts, A History. Also what they thought this year would be like and how the teachers were. Ron probably guess the most correct because of his older brothers always telling him about them.
As they got to shore Hagrid led them towards the tall castle and told the students to go through the lovely oak door. That's where they first saw Professor McGonagall, there Transfiguration teacher and she told them all about the start-of-the-year banquet. Then left the room for a moment to make sure the sorting hat was in proper place and everything was ready for them to come in. While she took care of that the students were out in the corridor having a little chat of there own.
"Well the rumors are true," said A blonde haired handsome looking boy. "Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts."
Harry just nodded in reply. Draco, accompanied by two fat, ugly boys, walked over towards where Harry, Ron and Hermione stood. Harry thought 'Hey he doesn't seem too bad of a boy, maybe I can make friends with him that would be great.'
Meanwhile Hermione and Ron were thinking the complete opposite. Hermione thought 'Oh great, this is the same guy on the train that was teasing me about coming from Muggle parents. He's a jerk, this is not going to go good.'
Ron was thinking 'that looks like Lucius Malfoys son, I bet it is. But I hope not because then I know for a fact this little chat is not going to go good.'
Draco was thinking 'hey this Potter boy doesn't seem that bad I think I can make him trust me like father said to
"Aren't you Lucius Malfoy's son?" Ron said out loud by mistake.
"Yeah Draco Malfoy" Draco said. Ron laughed at his name, it was covered by a cough. "Think my names funny do you? No need I ask yours, red hair, hand- me-down robe, you most certainly have to be a Weasley" Ron went a little pink in the face with that rude comment.
"Well yes I am Harry Potter, how do you do Draco?" Harry asked as he stuck out his hand for Draco to shake.
"Very well" Draco replied while he was shaking his hand rather manly. Draco did it, he actually got Harry Potter to start being friend with him.
With that Professor McGonagall cam back in the corridor "Please following me, the sorting ceremony is about to being." And with that all the students followed her.
As they walked into the Great Hall there were many gasps from the 1st years, because it looked like there was no ceiling, it was the same as the outside sky. But it was only bewitched to look like that, Hermione told some other 1st year next to her. Harry and Ron were talking about something in whispers.
"Why do you not like Draco?" Harry asked Ron, after seeing him sort of upset that Harry had made friends with Draco.
"I just know his father is not a good man. His father is a Death Eater, and Draco looks like he is the kind of person that would follow in his father's footprints and become one as well."
"What's a Death Eater?" Harry asked.
"A person that supports You-Know-Who!" Ron replied
"Oh!" Harry said being rather shocked. "But you don't know Draco is going to to join the Dark side too! He could be and probably is a good person and will help us if Voldermort returns." Ron shuddered when Harry said his name.
"All I am saying is I wouldn't be friends with him if I were you" Ron said
"Well I'm going to be friends with him" Harry said.
Then Professor McGonagall called for their attention for the sorting ceremony to begin.
