The King of Serpents

Harry/OC or Harry/Ginny.
I have counted your votes and revised my decision. This story will be a Harry/OC.
Why? Well, to start with, Ginny isn't even at Hogwarts yet, so where's the logic in making the story a Harry/Ginny? Get with the program. Besides, I like both pairings and I could easily make another one a Harry/Ginny. And besides, more people voted for Harry/OC anyway.
The Other Character.
I chose the OC to be a character that exists, but wasn't very present in the story, only has
Been mentioned in the first book, during the sorting. Her name is Lisa Turpin. I don't remember in what house she was sorted in, but, I know she was there, and since I'm the author, I can do what I want.
Harry being in Slytherin.
If I were to put Harry in Slytherin, it would be cliché. The snake dude going in Slytherin and all that. Well no, Harry will not be in Slytherin. He will still keep some of his original personality, which didn't want to be in Slytherin. Easy as 1, 2, 3…
Like it or not, this is my choice.
The King of Serpents.
Chapter 4: The sorting hat.
They soon arrived at the Hogsmeade train station, where a large beefy man waited for them. The man in question wore a huge brown coat, he had black hair and a long beard, both were messy and not combed.
"Who is that?" asked the Weasley boy next to him.
"He is a half-giant, obviously." Said Harry, ignoring whatever it was Ron said next, for his attention was else where.
"Firs' years! Over ere', Firs' years!"
Could this man even talk properly? Probably not. The man led them to an immense lake, where a series of little boats were waiting for them patiently.
"Only tree of ya' per boat!"
That was obvious, anyone could have guessed that only three people fitted in one of those tiny boats, was this guy ever dumb. Anyway, as he sat down in a boat, the carrot top sat next to him and a fat boy as well.
The boats streamed along the lake, the castle soon coming into view. Causing many students to gasp at its beauty.
It was obvious that candles had been placed at each window, but still, it a indeed a sight to behold.
As they arrived at the other side, the large man led them all to the front doors of said castle. He opened the large oak front doors, and led them all inside.
A tall woman was waiting for them at the entrance. She was a strict looking woman if you asked him. She had silver hair, held up in an elegant bun, hidden under her witches hat.
"Welcome to Hogwarts first year students, soon you will be at-"
"Trevor!"
The fat boy who had sat with him on the boat came running forth to the toad at the woman's feet. He gulped lightly at her fierce glare, causing him to run off at the back of the crowd.
"As I was saying, soon you will be attending the Sorting Ceremony, which will determine it what house you will be in. You will reside with your fellow classmates the whole year, meaning, your house will be like your family."
She swiftly opened the large oak doors leading to the huge hall that they hid.
Said Hall was immense and beautiful. Candles floating along the long tables, Harry suspected that the four tables that fellow older students were sitting at represented each different house. The ceiling had surprised most of the first years in front of him.
The bossy girl from the train was murmuring things about a complicated enchantment from a book called, Hogwarts…a History. What a bore. It was quite obvious that it was a dillusionement charm. (See Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix). It was only making the ceiling blend into the sky, so that it seems that it was not there, while it is.
"Once I call your names, you will come forth and try on the hat to be sorted into your designated house."
The stern woman's voice rang through the silent hall, before she started calling out names. None of it was interesting, except when his name was called.
Murmurs rang through the hall about him being the Harry Potter.
As soon as he put on the hat, it started talking silently, and, he fighting with it not to be in Slytherin, he might be a part snake, but he was fat from evil, no, Slytherin jus felt wrong.
"Ah interesting… you're a difficult one. You are very wise, a quality for Ravenclaw… brave… Gryffindor… forget about Hufflepuff…which one to chose. Not Slytherin eh? Well, let it be, RAVENCLAW!"
Applause rang through the hall, while he was thankful he wasn't in an unwanted house…
A Chinese girl introduced herself to him…Cho Chang, she was fairly pretty, he had to admit, but, seemed kind of stupid. While this other girl…Lisa Turpin…she seemed far more interesting…
Author's note:
Well that's it for chapter 4. Never saw that one coming eh… Ravenclaw. Well if you ask me, Slytherin is… too predictable if you ask me, thought it would more interesting to have him is Ravenclaw, don't you think?
Well, that's all for now,
Black Miror.
