Chapter 11: Where You Owe To Be
The incident last two weeks ago was kept secrete. Of course, Dumbledore wouldn't to let the school know that he was trying to curse a student out of not being able to control him/her. Harry on the other hand is quite thankful that Myrtel didn't tell a word about it and Peeves wasn't there when it all happened.
The D.A. council was successful in gaining trustful members secretly that not even the Hogwarts ghosts have any idea about it.
It was the morning of November first and everybody was happy seen today there will be no classes. The great hall was full of students enjoying there meal. Moments later the headmaster entered the great hall, all the teachers were present. Everything looks normal except for the fact that the sorting hat was being carried by the headmaster. When the students realized that the sorting hat was out, they began to whisper to their friends asking why it is out. Some thought that maybe there is a new student. Even the Slytherin is curious why. Silence filled the Hall when the headmaster stood in front of them.
"All of you might be thinking why the sorting hat is out here with us" the headmaster could see the students nodding. "It is here not because there is a new student but there are few students that the sorting hat wishes to check if they are still worthy of staying in there house. If proven that certain student no longer fit that house, the sorting hat shall resort him/her to a new and more appropriate one" with that the students started whispering the names of the students that could possibly be resorted. Draco and some Slytherin where actually picking Harry (not that they would voice it) knowing well that the Potter heir belongs to their house. The headmaster clear his throat and silence fell on the hall. "now, not even I knows who are the students the sorting hat wishes to check, so the hat will be the one to announce the name, when called you know what to do" with that, the headmaster put the sorting hat on the stool and went to his seat and waited. He tried to ask the sorting hat who are the students he wishes to check but the stupid old rigid hat refused to tell him as a punishment for trying to curse a student. Dumbledore could only hope that his little puppet will stay in his house, it will not do well to him if the Potter heir leaves the lions den. His train of thought was cut by the voice of the sorting hat.
"Like what the headmaster said, I shall be resorting a few people that I believe have change seen their first year . . . . . ." the said and continue why he needs to resort this people.
"If I am one of the students that the sorting hat will resort, I could just hope that Ron won't be going to the house where I shall be resort to" Hermione whispered to Harry making the Potter heir laugh.
"What's so funny?" Ron asks noticing that Harry was laughing.
"The way the sorting hat talks" Harry said. He knew it was lame but he had no idea what else to say to Ron
". . . . . And now, as I call your name, please come in front and put me on" everybody waited for the name to be called.
"Neville Longbottom" the student body laughs at the sound of Neville's name.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine" Harry advice as Neville pass by. He went to the front and seat at the stool and put the sorting hat. Everybody waited silently.
"Hufflefuff!" the sorting hat shouted. Neville only shrug his shoulder at the sorting hats decision.
"Ginny Weasley . . . . . . . . Slytherin" whispers filled the hall again, a Weasley in the Slytherin house. Ron actually fainted at the sorting hats decision while the Weasley twins gave their little sister a thumb up.
"Hermione Granger . . . . . Ravenclaw" well theirs no question their as the students body already suspected her to be in that house after all she is the know-it-all girl.
"Harry Potter" suddenly the entire Hall was filled with suffocating silence. Harry made his way at the stool and put the sorting hat on.
"Hello there, young one" the sorting hat greeted.
"Hello" Harry greeted. "So why me?" he ask.
"I told you before; you would have done well in Slytherin"
"I know but why now?"
"Simple, I do believe that the Slytherin house will protect you more than the Gryffindor house"
"Maybe" Harry thought
"Not maybe young one not maybe for the course of time is already changing"
"What do you mean?' he asks
"Listen little one, listen . . . .
Not everything is what they seem
Look beyond the black wall of blood
There you'll see your real foe
Look beyond the past time
There you'll see where you belong
Beware of the animal trainer
For he strikes his whips with lies and anger
Star that shine through him is his mark
It will only be safe in your father's arm
The book of havens is no longer safe
As your hour glass loses its last drape
Guard your back for you'll never know
What lies behind the white door
Follow the melody of your mothers heart beat
For it will lead you back to your father's flit
. . . . . ." the sorting hat finished.
"WHAT?" was the confused voice of Harry. The students and teachers were already getting worried. Harry's sorting at first year lasted for a minute but this one is getting longer as it hit the mark of two minutes.
"Don't worry young one, you will understand someday"
"No! Tell me now" Harry command.
"SLYTHERIN" was the booming voice of the sorting hat. Everybody was dead silent at the sorting hat decision.
Draco Malfoy could only smirk, his eyes filled with victory as his hunch is correct, Potter belongs to their house but what amuse him most is the reaction of the teachers and the gryffindorks. The headmaster's cup of tea that he was seeping peacefully spilled. Pro. McGonagall face is pale, the half breed giant was on his feet and the rest of the student body (and some Slytherin) mouth hit the floor open. Yap, this is definitely a day to remember.
Harry walk silently to the Slytherin table, the lion crest that was resting of his chest was now replaced with a serpent crest. He sat next to Ginny at the far end of the Slytherin table not really wanting to stay any longer at the hall due to the stares he was receiving from the other students.
All the time, pro. Snape is watching the Potter heir. He knew that Potter was going to be put in his house, though he is curious what took the sorting hat to announce it, he deeply would like to know but for he have to make sure that the other Slytherin will not attack the new comers and to make sure that the two new rookies of the Slytherin house will know the rules inside the serpent place.
"Now that is finish, why don't we continue our breakfast" the headmaster said breaking the silence. The students continue to eat but this time they were no longer talking about any rumors instead they were talking why the boy-who-lived was resorted at the Slytherin house. Some students kept on staring at the Potter heir while a handful of Gryffindors kept on glaring at Harry as if some kind of a traitor.
After few minutes of sitting, Harry couldn't take it anymore, the staring, glaring, whispers some even point at him as if he couldn't see it and its really making him sick so he made up his mind and stood up and walk out of the hall.
"Harry" Hermione called when he saw that Harry left the table. Hermione followed the boy-who-lived out of the table. As he passed by the Gryffindor table, could see the way Ron look at Harry, full of betrayal and anger. 'Oh no, this is going to be a long school year'
