It's late at night now as the train reaches the station, finally coming to a halt. And the huge man Naruto had met when he'd crashed into Harry was there waiting for everyone on the train. Harry, Ron, and Naruto were some of the first people to get off the train. The dark haired boy and the blond smiled up at the huge man and said almost in unison, "Hi Hagrid!" Ron gawked at the man, looking up at him. "Whoa!" Hagrid addressed all of the first years, "Right then, firs' years! This way t' the boats! C'mon then! Firs' years don't be shy!" The reached a dock and got onto a bunch of boats, and they began moving to their destination on their own. Like magic! Oh... Yeah...! As the boats went, the first years were in awe of the massive castle. It was unlike anything any of them had ever seen before!

Soon they got out and made their way through the halls, and up some stairs until the stopped in front of an old woman wearing an almost stereotypical witch's hat with a large feather on the side. "Welcome to Hogwarts! In a few moments you will pass through these doors and join your new classmates!" She looked at all of the students as she spoke, making sure to keep her voice loud and clear so the new students could hear her. "But before you can take your seats, you must be sorted into your houses! There are four houses you can be sorted into! There are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin!" The blond boy Naruto had met on the train turned and grinned at his companions. Naruto's eyes widened slightly as he remembered the chocolate frog card from earlier, and pulled it from his pocket, looking down at it again. Salazar Slytherin was there again, looking up at him. He quickly put the card back as the woman began speaking again. "Now while you're here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you points... any rule-breaking and you will lose points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup." Right as she finished speaking a round boy shouted "TREVOR!" As he ran forward, picking up a toad. Everyone in the room, including the woman stared at the boy. He realized his mistake as he looked around and turned towards her. "S-Sorry..." He quickly pushed towards the middle of the group in an attempt to keep from being seen. The woman said finally, "The sorting ceremony will begin momentarily," and with that, she turned and entered the room, likely to speak with someone, leaving the students to talk among themselves.

The boy Naruto met with smirked as he looked at Harry. "So it's true then. What they're saying on the train. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts!" There were a bunch of whispers among the students. Oh boy, here we go. He turned his head towards the two boys that were with him Daphne and the other girl. "This is Crabbe and Goyle," he said as he stepped towards Harry, "And I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." Ron couldn't help but let out a snort. The Malfoy glared at Ron, "Think my name's funny do you? No need to ask yours," the boy looked at Ron's features and outfit, "red hair, and a hand-me-down robe. You must be a Weasley." He said the boy's name with clear venom. Sounds like there's something between their families. He turned his head back towards Harry, "You'll soon find that some Wizarding families are better than others Potter. You don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort," he said as he turned his head towards Ron, clearly implying he's talking about the redhead, "I can help you there." He said holding out his hand for Harry to shake. Harry looked down at the hand and then back up at Draco and said, "I think I can figure out the wrong sort for myself thanks."

Draco glared at Harry and then Naruto stepped in, pulling Harry behind him. "So your name's Draco huh?" the blue eyed boy with whiskers glanced towards Daphne and gave her a quick smile. The Malfoy was about to retort, expecting the boy to make fun of him too, but then Naruto said. "I swear to you," Draco raise an eyebrow, "one day I'll change your mind. It doesn't have to be today, it doesn't have to be tomorrow, this year, next year, it doesn't even have to be this decade. But I swear to you, one day I'll change your mind. I don't remember my family, but I can guarantee you. It doesn't matter what family you come from. You as an individual can decide your own worth, not your family or their stance. You and Daphne made a promise you'd help me figure out who I am, so don't go forgetting that, because I'm gonna hold you to it." Naruto said, giving a grin. Draco's eyes widened slightly. This boy and Harry were the first people he could remember that would dare talk back to him. Naruto really gave the boy something to think about because for the first time in his life he actually felt slightly conflicted. Even though it was very slight, Naruto could see it in the boy's eyes. Draco's hand was about to drop to his side when Naruto grabbed it, squeezing it tight. This was the first time he'd touched the other, and Draco could feel the boy's calloused hands. Whatever this boy did before coming to this school had to be hard work. If only he knew. "So, I swear to you by my life. I will do everything in my power to change your mind one day. About families, and about people." Draco's eyes widened again.

The Malfoy squeezed the boy's hand after a brief moment. "Just as you said before. I'll hold you to that too. We'll see who's right and who's wrong. You had better not back down on your word." Naruto's eyes widened. Draco let go of the boy's hand and looked at his widened eyes. Daphne ran over, pushing Draco out of the way, knocking the boy over. "What's wrong?! Did you remember something?!" Both boys were clearly shocked, because there eyes were as wide as the other. The dark haired girl's eyes also widened, a hint of a blush on her cheeks as she looked away, "I-I mean...uh...not that I care or anything...I just wanted to keep my word... and uh..." In the background, Ron whispered, "Awkward." Into Harry's ear. Naruto reached out and helped Draco up, "What you said reminded me of something I once said. I don't remember much but I remember that one phrase!" Draco was definitely shocked, "What phrase did you remember?" Naruto gave a shit eating grin as he spoke.

"I'll never go back on my word!"

A: CLIFFHANGER! OOOO! HAH! YEAH, I'M MAKING YOU WAIT LONGER FOR THE HOUSE REVEAL!

Naruto: Holy shit, I'm so cool!

Daphne: Holy shit, he's so cool!

Draco: ...

Harry: Oh come on, don't give them the cold shoulder.

Naruto: Did you just-
