The rest of the train ride was spent in antagonising silence; Harry wanted to say something but could never think of anything to say, so he stayed silent. An action that hardly ever fails.
Looking at his magical watch, which worked strangely like a sundial even when the sun wasn't shinny, he saw that they'd be arriving at Hogart's in a handful of minutes. Taking hold of the hem of his shirt he pulled it clean off. And threw it on the seats in the compartment, rolled in a ball.
"Fuck! Potter, what the hell is your problem. Keep your bloody shirt on will you. No need to undress in front of me, I am not gay and your just plain ugly to look at," Though his words rang with anger and slight confusing, his eyes looked slightly heated from the sight of Harry's six pack.
"Don't worry Ferret this isn't for your benefit if it was I'd have added a wand pointed at you. I am changing into school robes something you should think about doing." said Harry, half laughing at how stupid Malfoy was being. Taking down his suite case he found a school shirt and pulled it over his head, pulling out his hair from the back. As he started to unbutton his pants to change from his tight fitting silk ones, Malfoy jumps up and screeches
"Potter, what in bloody hell do you think your doing, I am still in the bleeding compartment for Merlin's sake." Covering his eyes slightly like
he'd even see anything he walked out of the compartment. Harry stood there dumbfound for several seconds wondering what the hell just happened. Then Malfoy walked back into the compartment and lowers his trunk to the floor, gathering his uniform, he gave Harry a pointed look then walked out with his head held high.
Homophobe, thought Harry sadly, oh well I'll just have to clear him of some of that this year. Undoing his pants, then striping them off he changed in to the rest of the Hogart's uniform. He crammed everything back into his overloaded suite case, then sat back down, using his trunk as leverage for his feet. About two minutes later someone knocked on the compartment door. "Yeah?" said Harry uninterested
"Are you dressed yet Potter? I don't want to come in with you half naked. Merlin, you fully clothed is bad enough on the eyes," said a sneering voice on the other side.
"Jeeze, Malfoy you don't have to be so kind," came the sarcastic answer, "but sure I am dressed, unless of course you wouldn't like me to be then I could easily remove my shirt." Said Harry a little hopefully, teasing Malfoy was always fun but if he got to do it half naked it was even more so. Or you could always come in half naked, that'd be fine with me too. Wished Harry in his head, yeah I wouldn't mind seeing you without a shirt. Hell I'd pay to see it.
Malfoy walked in, fully dressed much to Harry's disappointment, wearing the school uniform. Tucking it back into his, Harry noted, neatly organised trunk then pushing it back under the seat, he sat opposite Harry. House-elves, thought Harry, bleeding house-elves do his packing for him.
Holding a glare, Malfoy stared at Harry hard.
"Yes Malfoy?" said Harry examining his nails, as if completely bored, "was there something you wanted to blame me for?"
"No, well not that I can think of at the moment, but I am sure you'll do something that needs blaming for before the day is out," said Malfoy, still holding his glare.
"Joy," muttered Harry out of the corner of his mouth, still trying to up hold the grin he placed there.
The train leached to a stop and both boys scrambled out of the compartment, pushing everyone out of their way, which were mainly each other. Jumped off the train they both scuttled into the heads carriage, were they were once again confronted with uneasy silence.
Shooting out of the carriage as soon as it slowed to a halt, both heads were there before the entire student population of Hogwarts. Climbing up the deserted stare case they made their way into the Great Hall. "Catch you later" said Harry to Malfoy before sauntering off to his golden Gryffindor table. Sneering Malfoy seated himself directly in the middle of his silver and green house table. It was not long the two had to wait before others started to arrive. Only minutes in fact.
The Great Hall was filled in a mater of minutes. Some people like Ron, who was sitting next to Harry, complaining about having to wait for food, others wonders wondering which new students would be coming to Hogwarts and some, though few in numbers, like Hermione already deeply immerged in their text books not noticing anything around them. This allowed Ron to sneak up behind her and tickle her, since spending the summer together physically and as a couple the two had gotten more "comfortable" with each other.
Everything went silent. Ms. McGonagall had just entered the Great Hall with the first years, all whispering to each other and twitching with nervousness. As she lined them up they started to fidget more, getting more and more nervous.
Placing the Sorting Hat on the 3 legged stool, it opened its metaphorical mouth and started to sing. The first years were in complete awe. Listening carefully to the song, Harry noticed it said nothing about rising evil, but a great deal more about uniting the two houses. Puzzled a little by this revelation Harry didn't much listen to the sorting. Clapping when the others of his house did, he stayed silent.
Finally all the tiny little children where sorted into their new homes. Dumbledore stood with a great sigh, he was getting on in age, raising his hands for silence he started his speech. "Flaberwag and wigglewing, I hope you enjoy the feast." Slowly he sat and the tables filled with food.
What seemed like hours later, the tables were cleared and Dumbledore stood once more. "I would like to welcome you all back to another year at Hogwarts school of witch craft and wizardry. I would like to mention that the forbidden forest is off limits to all students. And that another 25 items were added to the list of things not appropriate to bring to Hogwarts, this band list has been posted on Mr. Filtch's office door. Our Defence Against the dark Arts professor has actually managed to return again this year, to many people's surprise, let us welcome back Mr. Lupin." Remus got a standing ovation from half the school, a teacher that good is not easily forgotten. "And last but certainly not least I would like to introduce you to your new heads. This year we have not one but two head boys," most students gasped, this had never ever happened to their knowledge (not that that was much knowledge mind you), "Mr. Potter and Mr. Malfoy would you both stand please. "
