Dudley slept peacefully and soundly. When he awoke it was to find Malfoy sitting in a chair, staring at him intently. It was even more of a surprise that he was alone, his goons weren't there, no one was there.
"Um… Can I help you with something?" Dudley asked.
"You know you're a mudblood right?" Malfoy asked mischievously.
"Yeah, so what's your point?" Dudley inquired.
"Well, it was all good and fun for a while, but you're a real bore. You won't be one of my goons, you won't dish out dirt on Harry, and you're even hanging out with that brainless twit Cedric Diggory. You didn't honestly think that if you behaved like that you would stay in this house forever do you?" Malfoy asked.
"First, Cedric isn't brainless; second if I could figure out how to get out of this house I'd do it in a heartbeat." Dudley said sitting up.
"Well, I've talked with Snape and he agrees with me. He talked to Dumbledore and he said that all you'd have to do is go up to his office and request a change if that's what you really wanted. I think you should go straight away." Malfoy said glaring at him.
"Fine, I will. But try to hide your enthusiasm, when you smile it screws up your face even worse than it already is." And with that Dudley got dressed and went to Dumbledore's office. The entrance was already open so he walked up the stairs, but paused at the door. He could hear someone in there with Dumbledore. A few seconds later Hagrid game out and Dumbledore seeing him standing there waves him in.
"So, Dudley what can I do for you?" Dumbledore asked smiling.
"Well, professor, I was wondering about changing houses. Syltherin isn't exactly working out for me and they all seem to think the Sorting Hat made a mistake because of the fact that I'm a "mudblood." Dudley replied.
"Ah, I have heard as much. Do you think it was a mistake?" Dumbledore asked.
"Well, yes. I kinda of asked the Sorting Hat to put me in Slytherin because Malfoy told me too. But now I'm not so sure it's the best place for me." Dudley said.
"Oh, well, I do agree with you on that. You don't belong in Slytherin, but not because you're what they call a "mudblood". You're a nice person and an exceptional student. The Sorting Hat is sleeping and will be until next year's sorting but I will sort you myself. There's only one place you belong and that's in…..
