Chapter 6: Hogwarts
Harry left the carriage to walk into the hallway leading to the Great Hall. He went to the doors but didn't walk inside instead he stood beside them like he was waiting for something. He had left Draco at the carriage knowing that when Draco was ready he would come and seek him out. Not even five minutes later everyone started to come inside and enter the Great Hall. Many people were giving him curious looks wondering why he wasn't going inside but he didn't pay them any mind. He was looking around when he saw Luna Lovegood coming his way. "Hello Harry", she said, "I see that the Nargles have left from around your head. I'm glad, I was starting to become worried." Harry just nodded his head knowing that though she spook in riddles, it always had a true meaning. She smiled before turning and skipping into the Great Hall, the radishes on her ear swinging back and forth with each movement.
Harry was getting just a tiny bit impatient after waiting for twenty minutes. He sighed when he saw Ron, Hermione, and Ginny heading his way. He was so tired of dealing with them, he didn't know how he hadn't seen it earlier but they were always in his business. Hermione would always wondering what he was doing and why. Ron was always trying to turn his attention away from school and onto stupid stuff and looking for the next great adventure. Ginny had been trying to seduce him since her second year here. He hadn't told Ron or Hermione but he heard that Ginny slept with any guy that was willing. He didn't acknowledge them when they stopped in front of him acting like they didn't exist until Ginny waved her hand in front of her face. He grabbed her hand and said in a cold voice, "What the hell do you want? Can't you see that your company is not wanted?" He tightened his hold on her wrist a little then let go and stepped away from her. He looked at them before dismissing them with a wave of his hand, they looked like they were about to argue but the look in his eyes let them know that he was not playing. They walked into the Great Hall all the while continuously looking back at him.
Harry thought about the things he wanted to do while he was here. He had to find a way to recruit with out calling attention to himself. Harry snapped out of his thoughts at the sight of Professor McGonagall coming down the hall. She stopped when she saw him and looked at him with her famous glare. "Mr. Potter," she said, "Just what are you doing out here and not at your house table." Harry smiled at her like she was the sexiest person he'd ever seen and saw that she blushed a little. "Well Professor, I thought I'd accompany you and the first years into the Great Hall. I had something to ask Professor Dumbledore and I couldn't wait to do until after the feast to do it. I hope you won't mind." Harry said while smiling the entire time. Professor McGonagall just looked at him before turning around and leading the first years in to the Great Hall. Harry followed right behind them, as he entered he heard everyone whispering as to what he was doing with the first years.
He looked at the head table to see Dumbledore frowning in disapproval. He just smiled and waited for the first years to be sorted. Twenty minutes later everyone was sorted and Harry stepped forward and said, "Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, I, Harry James Potter formally announce that I wish to be resorted. So mote it be!" He looked at Dumbledore and saw the look of shock on his face. When Dumbledore looked to have regained his mask he felt an intrusion on his mental barriers. He strengthened them but never gave any outward signs that he knew someone was using legitimacy on him. Dumbledore could do nothing to change what had happened, because Harry declared it formally Dumbledore could do nothing more than let him be resorted and pray. Dumbledore stood and said. "I, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, hereby approve Mr. Harry James Potter's request to be resorted. So mote it be!" Harry smiled at Dumbledore like he was giving him his thanks when in actuality he was mocking him. harry sat down on the stool and the hat was placed on his head by a sour faced McGonagall. - So Mr. Potter we meet again. Yeah. I see you have been acquiring some new knowledgeable skills. I had time to see the manipulations going on around me and worked with a couple of friends to rectify that situation. Well then, where should I put you, hm, I see you wish to go to the house I originally wanted to sort you in. Of course, it's time to show Dumbledore just who he is messing with. Yes. I can see that! Very well. - "Slytherin."
There was a wide range of gasps as Harry gracefully got off the stool and made his way to the Slytherin table and sat down. He didn't have to look up to see the glares that Snape was trying to drill into his head. Instead he turned his head to look down the table and gave a smile that made the entire table shudder. Dumbledore stood up and gave his beginning of the year speech before sitting down as if the world had come down around him. Harry was eating his dinner when he felt the presence of someone standing behind him. He looked up to see Professor Snape sneering down at Harry before reluctantly handing him his schedule. Harry looked at it and memorized it before putting it away. According to the paper his week would go as such:

Harry didn't mind this schedule, it left him plenty of time to work out, recruit, and study, which was a good thing. Harry at a little before getting up and going to find the Founder's Quarters'. He walked to the fifth floor and went all the way down a hall that nobody would see unless they knew it existed and at the end of the hallway was a beautiful set of french crafted doors. They were shaped the same way as the Great Hall's but had mystical creatures and other exotic plants carved into the door. In the middle of each door was one word that together made the words, 'Founder's Quarters'. Harry grabbed the handles, which looked to be made of pure gold and had each houses animal on it, and pulled to open the doors.
He stepped inside to see an array of all the house colors mixed as on in the common room. It had a desk in the upper left corner with a small book shelf nearby that he assumed was for any work that needed to be done. In front of the fireplace was a burgundy arm chair that looked even more comfortable then the one in Gryffindor Tower. To the left of the door was a spiral staircase that Harry assumed led to the bedroom. He saw that there was a bathroom across the room from the door and directly to the right was a kitchen. The Founder's told him that the room adjusted itself to the user's needs which was why it was not known to the general public. He walked toward the right and stepped in the kitchen, it was a gorgeous black and white set with all the newest appliances. It wasn't a known fact but Harry loved to cook, while living with the Dursley's and having to cook all their meals he grew to love the aromas that filled a kitchen when something was being cooked. Harry left the kitchen and made his way to the bookshelf near the desk and saw that all of the books here were ones he'd never read before. Harry loved to read and knew he was going to enjoy reading something new.
He walked toward the bathroom and noticed that it was only in Hufflepuff colors, the bathroom itself was nothing spectacular, it looked like a regular bathroom except that it had a huge shower that looked to fit more than one person. He left the bathroom and made his way up the spiral staircase. When he reached the top of the stairs he saw a hallway with four doors, one of those doors where made out of glass and led to a balcony that overlooked the Black Lake. Harry turned away from the balcony and made his way to another door, he opened it to find a library. The library was in Ravenclaw colors and looked to have books that Hogwarts library wouldn't dare let students see let alone read. He saw that it had a table to sit at, not unlike the one in Hogwarts library, for studying and reading. On that desk he noticed a big blue book, he assumed that this was the book Rowena was talking about. The book was like a catalog, so to speak, you wrote in the book what kind of book you wanted and they would appear on the desk without further notice and when you were done with it you could set it on the edge of the desk and it would disappear on it's own. It was a much simpler way of trying to find a specific book without all the hassle.
Harry left the library and made his way to the next door, he opened it to see a Gryffindor colored training room. He noticed that it had training dummies and a little track field and a platform, it even had a muggle like gym. Harry was glad that this room was here because he needed to keep up his training regime and he didn't want to have to find a way to keep his workout up. He left the room and made his way to the last door in the hallway. He looked at the door and noticed that it had his name on it, he opened it to see a Slytherin colored room. It had a fireplace and a king sized bed, he noticed that his trunk was at the foot of the bed and that Silvan, Devon and Jáquín were on the bed. When they saw him walk through the door they didn't say anything and just went to the places they had decided to sleep at. Harry knew that they stayed up just to make sure he got there safely and that he was okay before going to bed. Harry sighed and pulled out his bottoms before changing and laying down on his bed to go to sleep.
A/N: Well there you have it chapter six. Yes, I know that Draco was weird but I promise you that he'll still have some of his original characteristics. I would like to thank my beta dracofreak3 and to all the people that read and review my story. I would like to say two things before I go:
1. If I ever have to go two weeks without updating for some reason then I will post a author's note telling you the day I plan to post it.
2. I am having a contest of sorts. The first person to tell me the five people outside of Hogwarts that Harry wants to join him will get to have a character of their choice in my story that will have an important role. also, if they have something that they would like to see in my story that they think will make it better then, if the idea isn't going to completely throw my story off, their idea will be put in the story.
I will give everyone to days and the first one to come in with the correct answer will get a message from me to get more details.
