Hello everyone. Time for another chapter. I don't own Harry Potter. Thanks to all those who have reviewed.

I noticed that my mind speech signs where not working so now it will be marked with this .

The sorting ceremony

When they got off the carriages they made their way to the great hall. Before going in Draco excused himself to go see professor Snape.

Harry and his friends sat down and started telling their fellow Gryffindors about their summer. Harry kept an eye on the Slytherin table to make sure that Draco came back safely. Before he knew it professor McGonagal came in with the first years, still no Draco. Harry was starting to get worried. The sorting soon was done and Harry still didn't see his lover. Looking at the head table he could see that Snape was sitting in his usual place. Two seats were empty next to him. "Probably for the Defense teacher but I wonder what the other one is for."

Professor Dumbledore stood up. Suddenly the whole room became quiet. "I would like to welcome the new students to Hogwarts. Now the sorting is not done, we still have one more person to sort. He is a sixth year who asked to be resorted. Usually this would not have been permitted but due to circumstances it was allowed this time." Dumbledore looked at all the tables to see their reaction. "I would ask Draco Malfoy to please come up and put on the sorting hat."

The doors to the hall opened and in walked Draco. He was wearing a plain black uniform just like the ones the first year had on before they were sorted. He passed in front of Harry and winked. He made his way to the front of the room and sat on the stool. He placed the sorting hat on and was shocked when it started speaking to him.

"Well Mr. Malfoy, back again I see. The darkness that hid your true self is gone. Now you can really be sorted for who you are. Yes you are still quite cunning but now other strength are showing. You're very smart and would do well in Ravenclaw, your loyalty to your new friends is admirable, but what comes out the most is your bravery for what you have faced already and will in the future.a Now there is only one choice that is right for you and it's GRIFFINDOR."

All the tables were in shock. Harry got up and started clapping for his boyfriend. Ron, Hermione, Ginny joined him all smiling at Draco who was making his way to his new house table. Soon the whole lot of Gryffindors started clapping for their new housemate. By the time he sat down his uniform had changed to reflect the Gryffindor colors.

"Why didn't you tell us you were going to be resorted Dray?" Harry glared at his lover. "I was starting to get worried when I didn't see you come into the hall."

"Sorry love, professors Snape and Dumbledore though it would be safer for me to keep it quiet until the feast and I wanted to surprise you." Draco smiled at him, he knew Harry couldn't resist him for too long.

Harry quickly took his lover in his arms and kissed him. The whole hall suddenly became quiet again. No one could believe that the golden boy of Gryffindor and the once Slytherin prince were a couple.

How much do you bet that Voldemort will know about us by tomorrow morning. asked Draco.

I won't bet because I know I'll loose money on that one, and this will probably also be in the Daily Prophet's morning edition. They were both laughing at their silent jokes. They didn't notice the other students looking at them like they were crazy.

Finally Draco did notice Er... Harry I think we should watch ourselves when we mind speak, people are starting to look at us funny.

Just then professor Dumbledore got up again, and for the third time the hall became quiet. "I would like to introduce you to your new defense against the dark arts teachers, yes this year you will have two teachers due to the return of Voldemort. This way it will be easier for you to learn. First we have a returning teacher, some of you probably remember him from a few years ago Remus Lupin." The door to the great Hall opened, Remus made his way to the head table and sat down next to Snape. "The next teacher is new in his position, he's and ex-auror and will help professor Lupin during classes. Please welcome Sirius Black." Sirius walked into the hall, he stopped in front of Harry and Draco who were smiling up at him. Draco being the big tease he was just smirked at Sirius. "So Professor Black can't let your boyfriend out of your sight for too long." He winked at his professor before turning towards his shocked boyfriend. "Harry isn't this great now we'll have all three guardians watching out for us." He drawled in his sarcastic voice.

Harry glared at Draco and rolled his eyes. Yes this would make it harder for them to hide away to train. We're going to have to make sure that they don't find the marauder's map or they will be able to find us even when we're in the chamber.

Bloody hell I didn't think of that. What are we going to do?

I guess we'll do our best to sneak around the castle. It's not like we have a choice. We need space when we start our animagus training.

They boys kept on speaking telepathically until they noticed everyone getting up from the table to make their way to their dorms. Draco followed Harry since he had never gone to the Gryffindor dormitory. Harry showed him where he would sleep. A new bed had been added to the sixth year dorm. It was just besides Harry's. That was ok with them since they knew that they would probably sleep together anyways. After they finished unpacking they changed to their night clothes and kissed good night. When all the boys were sleeping Draco made his way to Harry's bed, he snuggled with his lover and soon fell asleep.

Tomorrow they would go to the chamber and start training...
