--------------------Last Time

"Winner, Quatre!" McGonagall called. Quatre went up.

"Gryffindor!" Quatre signed with relief and went to sit with his friends then.........

"Maxwell, Duo." it was Duo's turn.

-------------------- Present Time

Duo scanned to hall reflexively as he moved across the room to sit on the stool, Professor McGonagall placed the hat on his head and moved away as a tiny voice spoke in Duo's ear.

^"Well, well, this is very interesting."^ The sly little voice of the hat said as it combed through his mind. ^"Its like another mind lives inside you. A dark and a light."^ Duo fought the urge to shudder at how it sounded. ^"I could put you in Gryffindor with your friends, yes.........but you do not belong there........."^

"SLYTHERIN!"

Duo opened his eyes to the half hearted applause of the students and pulled the hat off his head, placing it on the stool before moving across the hall to where the Slytherin's sat watching him coolly. No one bothered to greet him as he sat on the end of the bench to watch the hat with everyone else. Professor McGonagall stepped forward again and read out the final name on her list.

"Potter, Heero."

The hall went dead silent at the sound of the name Potter and watched with rapt attention as Heero sat on the stool with the hat on his head. For what felt like an eternity after the hat remained silent as the grave until a slow smirk slid across Heero's face.

"Slytherin." The hat declared softly, almost as if it was afraid of the teen whose head he sat on. Heero very calmly took the hat off and dropped it to the top of the stool, then ignoring the whispers of the students he strode over to the Slytherin table and sat down shoulder to shoulder with Duo. At the Gryffindor table their friends where trying to work out what had just happened. Harry sat with a confused expression as he tried to think of a reason for Heero to be in Slytherin. It wasn't entirely impossible that he would be in another house, But Slytherin?

The same thing was on Duo's mind as he listened to the headmaster finishing his start of year announcements. "So, Hee-chan.........why did the hat put you here? I thought it would have put you with Harry." Heero turned his head slightly, his smirk still firmly in place. "I didn't want to go in a house that didn't have you." He said in a low voice so only Duo could hear. "So I told the hat that if it tried to put me anywhere else I'd burn it and feed the ashes to the Cerberus named fluffy that Harry told us about." Duo's face split into a wide grin and he smothered giggles as the food appeared on the table virtually unnoticed by the two.

"That's my Hee-chan!" he said before he ducked his head and began to eat leaving Heero to stare across at the pale haired Slytherin that had been sitting on the braided baka's other side. He nodded to Heero in acknowledgement and smirked nastily.

"The name's Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, is it true that you are related to Potter?" He sneered. Heero stared at the Slytherin and matched his name and face to Harry's description. "Hn, what is it to you?" He asked, sounding unconcerned. Malfoy looked a little put off at his lack of the stereotypical Potter family traits, but his disappointment didn't last long as he attempted once more to gain a rise out of Heero. "Oh I was just wondering how Potter feels about having a Slytherin for a brother! He must really be kicking himself that this happened." He gave a cruel little laugh. Heero merely 'Hn'ed' and began to eat choosing to ignore Malfoy in favor of listening to Duo's chatter.

~~~~~~~

It was the next day when Harry and the others finally got an opportunity to speak with Heero and Duo during a double potions lesson. The two sat together at the back of the class clearly being avoided by the rest of their housemates. Harry made his way over to his brother and sat down at the next caldron with Wufei. The other pilots had been partnered with others until they'd learnt their way around. "Heero," he spoke in a soft his as not to alert Snape to the fact he was talking. "What's going on? Do you know why the hat put you in Slytherin?" he asked, getting straight to what he wanted to know. Duo snorted with repressed laughter but didn't let them in on the joke.

Heero smirked, "Oh no reason." He answered evasively. Duo fought his rising giggles as he span on him looking mock indignant. "No reason? You only threatened to feed it to fluffy so it'd put you here." Harry's eyes widened. "Heero! You wanted to be here?" Heero looked at his brother and gave a sigh that both he and Wufei nearly missed. "The hat put Duo in this house and I wasn't about to leave him on his own! The baka would have killed them in their sleep already." He shut up when Duo elbowed him sharply in the ribs but a mocking smirk remained.

Sitting on Harry's other side Wufei was speculative as he watched Heero's interaction with his younger brother. Something had changed in the usually stoic pilot and it wasn't just because of the fact he was back with family. Wufei looked away and met the eyes of Quatre as he sat staring absently into thin air a small smile on his face as he inspected the feelings he felt around him. The blue eyes focused on him and Wufei knew he was thinking the same thing; there was definitely something different in the air.
