Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot
-The True Me-
Harry continued to walk behind Cedric, not even trying to memorize where the heck they were going. He was too preoccupied with that boy he saw across the campus.
Draco Malfoy.
Harry blushed as he thought about the mysterious man.
"Ian" Cedric said in a sing-song voice. Harry shook his head to clear away "Draco Malfoy" from his head and looked up.
"Huh?" Cedric smiled at him and ruffled his already messy hair.
"I've been calling you for a very long time and you didn't respond at all! Is it because of those Slytherins or because you don't know your own name."
"Wh-What?" Harry froze. Did he know? Was he going back to St. Brutus's? 'Wait…don't be an idiot, Harry! How can he possibly know?"
"Those Slytherins still caught in your mind? Any one in particular?" Harry blushed and looked away.
"N-none of your business!" He squeaked. Cedric laughed.
"Come on, we're here." Cedric said and pointed to a big elegant door. Harry stared in awe. The principal's door at St. Brutus's was just a plain wooden door with designs that made it look like a prison door. But this door had beautiful carvings and ancient words written on them. It was the most beautiful door Harry had ever seen.
The words 'Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus' were skillfully carved into the old wood.
"What does that mean?"
"Oh, that's our school motto. It means 'Never tickle a sleeping dragon."
"Err…what does that mean?" Cedric shrugged.
"You're going to have to ask the Headmaster that."
Cedric reached out and knocked on the stunning door and opened it when a soft, "Come in" was heard.
"Hello headmaster. The new kid came." Cedric said, pushing Harry into the room.
"Ah! Ian! Welcome, welcome! Thank you, Cedric. I knew it was wise to choose you as our Head Boy this year. Did you know, Ian, that Cedric is our 7th year Head Boy? You certainly asked the right student to guide you around."
"Thank you, Headmaster. I'll be going to the Great Hall now." Cedric gave a small nod to the Headmaster and a wave to Harry before he turned for the door.
"See you around, Ian."
"Bye."
Draco rested his chin in his hands and let out a long sigh. However, since he is Draco, he can make a dull expression and a sigh look elegant.
All the students were in the Great Hall, but the Headmaster has yet to come. Plus, the 1st years had to be sorted.
Draco looked around at the 1st years. Their anxiety was shining through their faces. Draco remembered when he was first being sorted. He didn't feel nervous at all. He knew which house he was going to be in, no matter what happened.
He looked up again and saw the lust-filled faces of some of the students. He wished they would just give up. If he ever wanted to do it, all he had to do was find Blaise or sometimes even Pansy. It was casual, no strings attached. Even when Pansy had a boyfriend, they would do it. It was just a way to let out frustration and drown themselves in pleasure. Blaise and Pansy never did mind. They both knew how good he is.
His mind then jumped to the boy he saw in the second floor window.
'Just who is that boy? He doesn't look like a 1st year and I've never seen him before. His eyes…his eyes were beautiful. The deepest Emerald…like mother's lost necklace.' He absentmindedly put his hands to where his necklace was supposed to be. He lost it last year when he was walking next to the lake. It was all Blaise's fault. If Blaise hadn't pushed him into the lake that time, he would still have his necklace. It was from his mother who gave it to him when he first started to attend Hogwarts.
"Keep this safe alright, my Dragon? This has been passed down through my family for many generations. It's supposed to bring you good luck...and LOVE!"
Draco didn't have the heart to tell his mother he lost her precious necklace. He was rather fond of it as well and nearly beat Blaise to the brink of death if Pansy hadn't been there. Draco let out another sigh. Blaise nudged him with his elbow.
"Hey, what's wrong? Finally found someone you like?" Blaise said with a smirk. Draco just brushed him away and looked in the other direction. He usually always had a casual remark to throw back at Blaise, but he just wasn't in the mood.
"Leave Draco alone, Blaise." Pansy said calmly while smoothing out the non-existent wrinkles on her uniform. Blaise put on a pouting face.
"Pooo…you're no fun." Blaise turned to a blushing girl next to him and struck up conversation.
Draco looked up at the head table. Dumbledore has yet to come.
"I wish he'd hurry up…" Draco though dully as he watched Professor McGonagall start the sorting.
"Now then Ian, I am Headmaster Dumbledore, as you may already know. You have already been sorted into Gryffindor over the summer, but do you wish to be sorted again?" Dumbledore asked with a gentle smile.
"N-no. It's ok." Harry replied. 'If I get resorted and don't end up in Gryffindor, it'll look suspicious.'
"Are you sure? If you get sorted into another house, you won't be taken for another person, I assure you. Oh! Also, on you're portfolio, it says that you have 20/20 vision. Why are you wearing glasses?" Dumbledore asked with a slight twinkle in the eyes. He sounded too innocent.
'He knows!' Harry thought with a panic. He started waving his arms around franticly.
"N-No! It's ok! I mean…I wasn't worrying about been taken for another person! No! Not at all! And I just happen to watch a lot of T.V. over the summer! And a lot of books! Hahaha! Hahahahaha! Ha…" Harry let his head and hands drop. 'I'm being too obvious here. I never did things calmly and rationally when I'm panicking. Not like Ian. He was always calm and knew the right thing to do at the right time.' Harry let out a sigh.
Dumbledore let out a small chuckle before getting up.
"It's time to go to the opening feast. I'm sure we already missed the sorting."
The 1st years were all seated and the sorting done. Dumbledore stepped in through the back door, along with Harry who was first unnoticed.
'About time old man…' Draco's thoughts trailed off when Harry final came into the light. Draco slowly lifted his head from his hands and stared directly at Harry. Harry looked around the room nervously before he caught Draco's eyes.
'His eyes are definitely beautiful. So rich with life…so innocent…so pure… They're even more beautiful than my necklace. But they are covered by those hideous glasses.'
Harry blushed and looked down. He felt Dumbledore's hand on his shoulder and looked up and the wise man.
"The Gryffindor table is over there. Go find a seat and we can start the feast." Harry nodded and walked over to the table. He looked over and the Slytherin table and saw the silver eyes again before looking down.
'He really is gorgeous. He definitely has an aristocrat air around him. So elegant…probably a little snobby though, by the looks of him.'
He was disappointed to find that Cedric was not at the appointed table, but the table next to it. He waved at Cedric, who waved back, and sat in the empty seat near the end of the table.
Draco rolled his eyes and looked back at the head table. 'So, he's in Gryffindor. Too bad.'
After Dumbledore said his speech, which consisted of the normal warning of the Forbidden Forest and forbidden items, the feast started. Hundreds of waiters and waitresses entered from all sides of the room, carrying delicious looking food that made everyone drool…except for the Slytherins, who were already used to the scrumptious looking dishes at home.
Harry's eyes opened bigger and bigger as he looked and smelled the different cuisines. When he noticed the others were already eating, he placed food on his plate and dug in.
"Hello, my name is Hermione Granger. What's yours?" A girl with bushy brown hair sat across from him and smiled at his messy eating. Harry cleared his throat and wiped his mouth.
"I'm Ian. Nice to meet you." He replied shaking hands with her. Hermione smiled and introduced the people around her.
"This is Ron, Neville, Fred, George, Ginny, Lavender, Parvati, Dean, and Seamus." They all nodded in greeting except for Ron, who was too busy stuffing his face.
"I take it you are all siblings?" Harry asked, referring to Ginny, Fred, George, and Ron. Ginny nodded.
"How did you know?" Harry let out a small laugh.
"Ah…the hair." Then he noticed Hermione was studying him very closely.
"Um…yes…?" Hermione peered at him.
"You know…you look a lot like Harry Potter. I saw his picture in an old newspaper once when I was younger."
Harry panicked. How did she know? Heck, it was really old news, but how did she know? Harry tried to calm himself down. He let out a nervous laugh.
"Well, I'm Ian Potter. I'm his twin." Hermione let out a gasp.
"His twin!" She squealed. "That is really cool! You live with a celebrity! And look like him too! It must be weird living with someone so famous!"
"Um…no…not really. He's not that famous. That news is really old, so when I…he was popular, I was still pretty young. So…I don't really remember any…commotion or anything. He doesn't either."
"Wah! Is he coming to this school too? I would love to meet him!" Harry shook his head.
"Wait. What are you two talking about?" Curiosity was eating the others. Hermione let out another gasp.
"Don't tell me you guys don't know who Harry Potter is!"
"Um…duh?"
"You guys really need to read old news…or at least go to the library to read history and informative books instead of reading comic books!"
"Like you said, it's old news! Who would wanna read old news cept for you? Come on! Tell us!" George demanded, leaning forward.
Hermione let out a sigh.
"Fine."
Weeeee…finally! Chapter two out! XD look forward to the next chapter…dunno when it'll come out! So just wait and see!
