The Sorting
Harry
Just like Blaise had said just before we left the train; we were led to the great hall doors where Uncle Remus met the first years. He then gave us a speech about how we are to be sorted into our houses. They would become like our family, rule breaking would lose our house points. While behaving and helping one another will earn points. As we walked through the great hall, I noticed that there were four very large tables and what seemed to be a table at the front of the room. The teachers that sat at the table looked on with anticipation.
Slowly one by one names were called and sorted; Pansy- Slytherin, Luna- RavenClaw, Ron Weasley -Gryffindor, Draco - Slytherin. Then I heard my name called Harry Prince, the sorting hat hummed and said it was hard to place my, that I had traits of both Slytherin and Gryffindor . Anything but Gryffindor I repeated over and over. Well if you are sure Slytherin! The hat shouted.
There was cheering coming from the Slytherin table. As Draco and I made our way pass where the youngest Weasley was seated by his oldest brother , I heard him call me a trader. I was so thankful that I would be in the same dorm as Dray and Blaise. After a wonderful feast, the headmaster made a few notices then we were led to our dorms and common rooms.
Blaise led us down to the dungeons, we passed the potions classroom and dads private rooms.. Once in our common room he gathered us around and told us where the Head Boy's room was if we needed him. He told Sue where the Head Girl's room was as well as the prefect's dorms where. He introduced us to Sue the head girl and Lizzy a prefect for Slytherin.
Dray and I walked into our room, Blaise had told us that he thought that it was best that Dray and I shared a dorm. Anyone else might not know how to help me work through an anxiety/panic attack. The room was big with a small bathroom. The room was done up in green and silver.
"Boys it's best you get to bed soon as you have a busy day tomorrow. You know where my dorm is if you need anything. I will be back later after my rounds with Sue, but Lizzy is in the common room." Blaise smiled and left the room.
"You can use the bathroom first Harry. I will change out here."Dray was opening his chest to get his PJs.
"Its ok, it's not like we haven't changed in the same room before." I said as I started to undress.

I was so glad that I would be sharing with Sue after all we are a mated couple by Veela law. It was known that if a veela couple were to be away from each other for too long they would become ill. Especially , if the bond was in its first year of their bond.
I was sitting on the window seat, just thinking about Harry and what happened on the train. I knew how Harry felt, I have been there many a time. If it weren't for Sue I don't know how I would have gotten through it. I know I would have but Sue made things a lot better. I am so glad that she is my soulmate.
I must have been heavy in thought because I didn't hear my bonded call my name. I jumped when she placed a hand on my shoulder. "A penny for your thoughts? What's troubling you?" She kissed my forehead.
"Sorry, babe I was just thinking of young Harry and what he went through today. I am glad Draco was there but I feel guilty I didn't do anything. I froze when I came back from the loo ;the memories came flooding back. I feel like I failed him as a prefect." I sobbed. Sue wiped my tears with a kiss, she took my hand and led me to the bed and we got under the covers.
"Babe it's not our fault, I am sure Harry understands. Ron has been dealt with. Try to relax and get some sleep, my sweet girl. goodnight." She said as I drifted off to sleep.
