Harry's Worst Nightmare: Dudley Goes To Hogwarts.
What if Dudley was a wizard too? What if he went to Hogwarts? What if he teamed up with Malfoy? That must be hell for Harry, or maybe not.
A/N: Please read my ID, it's important.
Chapter 5: Gryffindor
The group made its way over a small path. From the sounds and smells Harry concluded they were close to a forest.
"Around the corner you'll get your fist look at Hogwarts."
Harry looked up and felt his jaw drop. He wasn't looking at a school, but he was looking at a castle. It had hundreds of towers in all sizes and shapes. From some places light was shining through the windows.
"Four students a boat." Hagrid yelled.
Harry noticed they were standing on a shore of a lake. A group of boats was waiting to be filled. He and Ron stepped into the nearest boat and were joint by two other boys. The boats took off and cruised towards the castle.
They got out on the other side and followed Hagrid to two large wooden doors. Hagrid knocked three times and the doors swung open. A strict looking witch stood in the door opening.
"McGonagall." Harry whispered.
"Is that McGonagall?" Ron whispered back.
"Yep."
"How do you know her?"
"She was my guide at Diagonally."
"Cool. I heard she's very strict and you shouldn't get onto her bad side."
"I thought she was rather nice."
"Whatever."
"Follow me please." McGonagall said.
The first years did as they were told and followed McGonagall into a small room.
"Alright, you are going to join your classmates, but first you will be sorted into your houses, they are Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor and Slytherin. Now, make yourselves presentable while I check if their ready for you."
She left and the room was filled with mutters. Harry looked at Ron and grinned.
"You do know you have some dirt on your nose, right?" He muttered.
"And your hair looks like you just came out of bed." Ron retorted, but began to whip away the dirt anyway.
"I can't help it, it's always like this." Harry smirked.
"Whatever."
"You like that word a lot, don't you?"
"If you say so."
Harry opened his mouth, but the door opened again and McGonagall appeared.
"We're ready. Follow me in pairs of two."
Once again they did as they were told and followed McGonagall out of the room and into the Great Hall. Harry immediately looked up. He had read in 'Hogwarts: A History' about an enchanted sealing and he just had to check if it was real. Sure thing he was met with the most beautiful night sky instead of a sealing.
"Wow." He muttered.
The group reached the end of the Hall facing a three legged stool and an old wizards hat.
"Oh, you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat,
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or Perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means
To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a slap!
You're in save hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!"
When the hat finished McGonagall turned back to the students.
"When I call your name, you will come up here and place the hat on your head. When your sorted you will go to you respective table, which will point itself. Abbott, Hannah."
A silence and then.
"Hufflepuff."
The Hufflepuff table began to clap and Hannah made her way to it, smiling.
"Bones, Susan."
"Hufflepuff."
"Boot, Terry."
"Ravenclaw."
"Brocklehurst, Mandy."
"Ravenclaw."
"Brown, Lavender."
"Gryffindor."
"Bulstrode, Millicent."
"Slytherin."
"Crab, Vincent"
"Slytherin."
"Dursley, Dudley."
"Slytherin."
"Finch-Fletchley, Justin."
"Hufflepuff."
"Finnigan, Seamus."
"Gryffindor."
"Goyle, Gregory."
"Slytherin."
"Granger, Hermione."
"Gryffindor."
"Longbottom, Neville."
"Gryffindor."
"Malfoy, Draco."
"Slytherin."
Harry and Ron watched Malfoy take a seat with his friends as the next students were called.
"MacDougal..., Morag..., Moon..., Nott..., Patil..., Patil..., Perksm, Sally-Anne."
And then finally.
"Potter, Harry."
Whispers started all around the hall.
"Potter?"
"Did she say Potter?"
"THE Harry Potter?"
Harry watched all eyes on him as the head slighted over his head.
After a long discussion/fight with the hat it finally gave in.
"Gryffindor."
Gryffindor table was making more sound then before and the Weasley twin began to shout.
"We've got Potter! We've got Potter!" (A/N: I love that part!)
Harry sat down close to them and watched the rest of the students being sorted.
"Weasley, Ronald."
"Gryffindor."
Ron sat down next to Harry.
"I'm hungry, where's the food?"
After Zabini, Blaise was sorted into Slytherin, Dumbledore stood up.
"Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts. There is time for speeches. This is not one of them, so I'll keep it short. Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Now let's eat."
Food appeared on the tables and the students dug in. After the everybody was stuffed, Dumbledore stood again.
"Now, before we all go to bed there are a few things left to say. First years note that the Forbidden Forest is, well, forbidden, though some older students should try to keep that in mind too and the third floor corridor at the left hand side of the castle is off-limits to everybody who does not wish to die a painful death. That's all, first years follow your prefects to your common room."
Harry and Ron followed Percy with all the other Gryffindors. In the common room they followed Percy's instructions and found their way to their dorm. Once there they put on their pyjama's and went to bed. Within no time the five boys in the dorm were sound asleep.
A/N: Here's another chapter, bit late, I know, but it's here. My finals are getting close and I won't be able to write that much, but I'll do my best. Please review and don't kill me.
