Chapter 6
Harry couldn't find Draco the entire train ride…
He ended up sharing a carriage with Ron Weasley- a puppy dog personality, Hermione Granger who was so obsessed with knowledge she seemed positively destined for Ravenclaw and Colin Creevey, a Muggleborn who clutched at a camera like it was Draco's worn out stuffed dragon.
They were all rather nice kids…
But they weren't Draco…
It didn't help that Ron wasn't fond of Slytherins…
Harry wanted more than anything to be sorted into his papa's House with Draco.
Just like he'd predicted, they barely saw one another the entire year…
Harry missed him dreadfully.
XoooooX
Draco wasn't very surprised he was Sorted into Slytherin.
After all generations of Malfoys and Blacks were Slytherins…
His godfather was positively smug, when the Sorting Hat announced immediately that he was a Slytherin.
It was a year later…
Draco sat at the Slytherin table almost antsy, just waiting for Harry's name to be called. He would give up every material thing he had just to hear Potter, Harry: Slytherin.
XoooooX
The names of his yearmates were read off…
Creevey, Colin was a Gryffindor. His name came not long after Lavender Brown became the first Gryffindor in their year. Faye Dunbar became the third…
Granger, Hermione came next out of the names he knew but rather than being a Ravenclaw she was a Gryffindor.
Luna who had been at Hecate's with him was a Ravenclaw like her mother and father.
Harry gave her a shy smile…
By the time his name came up, Harry was exceedingly nervous.
Dora had already graduated and was attending Auror training much to her mother's dismay.
Harry sat on the stool and put the hat on his head.
'Hmm…intelligent…ambitious…brave…loyal…you have traits of each House. Sorting you is difficult young Potter.'
'Please Sort me into Slytherin.'
'That maybe where your heart is young Potter but you belong in…Gryffindor though you would do well in any House.'
The hat announced, "Gryffindor.'
A heartsick Harry made his way towards his dad's former House table instead of his papa and Draco's.
Hermione smiled at him, a kid named Seamus and a Dean treated him to friendly pats on the back.
Ron Weasley was the last Gryffindor and he smirked at him once he was joined them. "Housemate huh? Well isn't that fun?"
Harry gave him a noncommittal shrug.
The distance between him and Draco was supposed to get smaller now…
Instead Harry felt so far away…
XoooooX
Draco was stunned when Harry was Sorted into Gryffindor…
What?
It didn't matter that Daphne, Greg, Vince, Pansy, Millie, Tracey and Blaise were Sorted into Slytherin. All that mattered was that Harry wasn't been….
The lost look on his friend's face as he slowly made his way to red and gold table was so heart-wrenching.
His godfather and Remus actually looked confused…
In different years and different Houses when would they ever see one another?
What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
A/N- I decided to stop confusing every one- including myself. Harry's soon-to-be sisters are only three years behind him. Which fits best because when he is a Fourth Year and Draco is in Fifth, the girls are eleven. Sorry for the confusion.
