A/N: T Just In Case
Professor McGonagall began to speak again, "Now. You see this hat I'm holding. This is the Sorting Hat. Once we enter the Great Hall you will hear plenty more about it, from itself of course. But this hat will put you all in your proper houses, now. Follow me." She opened the door of the Great Hall, revealing the rest of the school to the first years.
She walked into the Great Hall, followed by the group of First Years. She set the stool down in front of everyone and the hat began to sing its song.
Oh, you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
your top hats sleek and tall,
for I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head The Sorting Hat can't see,
so try me on and I will tell you where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true,
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means To achieve their ends;
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!

McGonagall took her scroll and called the first name on the list, "Abbot, Hannah." She set the hat on Hannah's head. It instantly screamed, "HUFFLEPUFF!" The Hufflepuff table stood up clapping.
McGonagall went through a few more names when she got to "Crabbe, Vincent."
"SLYTHERIN!" The Slytherins stood up and clapped.
McGonagall continued, reading a few more names until she got to, "Goyle, Gregory."
"SLYTHERIN!" Another rousing cheer from the Slytherins.
The very next name on the list was, "Granger, Hermione."
As Hermione was sorted into Gryffindor Draco and Blaise got into a discussion.
"If one of us isn't in Slytherin we have to vow to not be jerks." It was amazingly said by Draco.
"Works for me." Blaise said, nodding his head.
McGonagall breezed through more names when she got to, "Malfoy, Draco."
Draco walked up to the stool and sat down, as soon as the hat was set on his head it screamed, "SLYTHERIN!" The Slytherins all stood up cheering once again.
Blaise stayed where he was, "Please let me be in Slytherin. Please!" He thought to himself.
"Potter, Harry."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Blaise and Draco both smirked, they had been right.
When finally, there was only one first year left up front, "Zabini, Blaise."
Blaise walked up to the stool, the whole school watching him. McGonagall put the hat on his head.
"Hmmm…" The hat spoke to Blaise, "You are very cunning, perfect for Slytherin. But you are also very brave, perfect for Gryffindor. You also have many brains, fitting you for Ravenclaw. But, I must go with the house I think is best." The hat rose it's voice, "SLYTHERIN!"
Blaise let out a sigh of relief as he walked over to Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle. "It considered me for practically all the houses except Hufflepuff." He said, "I was like… No way."
"But, of course purebloods always triumph, so you were put in Slytherin." Draco said, a smirk on his face. "And I see we were right about Potter."
"Yeah we were. A Gryffindor through-and-through." Blaise said.
Dumbledore stepped forward, "To new students, welcome. For our older students, welcome back for another wonderful year. I'd like to remind you that the Forbidden Forest is forbidden to all students. And Mister Filch has posted a list of all the banned items outside his office, he recommends that first years look at it. And that certain older students check it out as well. Dig in."
Food automatically appeared in front of them. The Bloody Baron floated over to Draco and Blaise, "Welcome boys." He said, "I was the ghost when your fathers were here and best friends. And now here you two are, as close as they were. It's an honor for me."
Draco and Blaise both smirked. "Uh.. Thanks." Draco said, grabbing some food as he began to eat.
Blaise then looked at Draco, "I wonder what classes we're going to have." He said.
"Probably the usual. Do you reckon that big oaf who brought us over here is a teacher?"
"I hope not, he'd probably squash the students." Both boys laughed.
The feast was ending and everyone was getting up to go. Blaise and Draco stood up, "Where do we go?" Draco asked.
Blaise shrugged, he opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by the prefects.
"First years! Over here."
Draco and Blaise shrugged and walked over there, followed by Crabbe and Goyle.
The prefects began walking towards the dungeons. "This years password right now is serpent." The male prefect said, and the portrait of Salazar Slytherin flew open. The prefects ushered the first years in and stepped into the common room themselves. "This is the Common Room. The boys dormitory is over there. The female prefect said, pointing to the left, "And the girls dormitory is over there." She pointed to the right. The male prefect began talking again, "Your trunks are already up there, and you'll find out who you are sleeping next to and all that stuff when you get up there, so be off."
Blaise, Draco, Crabbe, Goyle, and 2 other Slytherin boys walked up the stairs, going into the first year boys dormitory.
The room had 6 four-poster beds. 3 on one side, and 3 on the other. They had curtains and the curtains were a dark green, like the Slytherin colors.
Blaise's bed was on the right side, in the center. Next to Draco and some random kid. "Well, I guess tomorrow we find out what hell we'll face in classes." He said, sitting on his bed.
Draco sat on his own bed, "Yes. Any classes with Gryffindor or Hufflepuff will be hell." He said, shaking his head.
