Naruto took his place next to Daphne, sitting across from Draco. With that, Dumbledore loudly spoke, "Let the feast begin." He waved a hand and mountains of food appeared on all the tables and soon everyone began eating. As Draco ate, he eventually worked up the courage to say, "You... asked the hat to put you into Slytherin... didn't you...?" Naruto gave a friendly smile as he took a sip from a goblet, enjoying some pumpkin juice. "Perhaps." The Malfoy had a look of bewilderment on his face. "Why? I... have you met me? Have you seen me? You can't honestly think that'll make a difference do you?!" Daphne sighed, knowing the kind of world Draco's grown up in. Crabbe and Goyle weren't at all listening and took to stuffing their faces, much more than Ron was over at the Gryffindor table. "I may not remember much, but I can tell you that people can chang-" He was cut of by a loud yelp from the previously mentioned Weasley, a ghost was sticking his head up through the Gryffindor table, welcoming them. And Naruto nearly jumped from his seat when the Bloody Baron flew by. Daphne held the boy down when he started shouting, "No way! Nuh-uh no one told me ghosts were real!" This little outburst made some of the Slytherins laugh and even made Harry and Ron laugh. Although, Ron realized he was laughing with the Slytherins, the house he and his family resented, and then instantly went back to stuffing his face hoping no one noticed.
Soon, everyone had finished their meal and they all began following the prefects to their common rooms. However, Dumbledore stood and loudly, yet lightly spoke so Naruto could hear him. "Mr. Naruto. A word please?" Naruto stood there and looked back towards Draco and Daphne, and Draco sort of just shrugged and Daphne pushed Naruto in Dumbledore's direction, "Oh, go on! Don't stand there like a deer in headlights!" Naruto started walking and sort of stopped as he thought, 'What are headlights?' before continuing to the headmaster. "Yes sir?" The old man gave a smile, "I trust the train ride went well?" Naruto returned the smile and rubbed the back of his head, "Yes, though I'd never been on a train before." Dumbledore glanced over at Hagrid as he spoke again, "Hagrid has filled me in on everything about your situation, and I can assure you that everything is fine and you will be treated like a normal student. But I do ask that if there is anything at all I can do to help with your memory issue, please let me or your Head of House. He gestured towards the man who was staring at Harry previously. The man walked towards Naruto and reached out a hand, he had dark penetrating eyes that were looking right into the boy's cerulean orbs. He had an air of authority about him and seemed rather intimidating, with his emotionless stare. "Severus Snape." The skinny man held out a hand for the boy to shake. The boy reached out and shook his hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Professor." The boy said, give a slight smile. "Do not hesitate if something comes to mind. Also, do be sure to keep from picking up the traits of Gryffindors. Even if you are... friends with some of them. They tend to be attention-seekers and arrogant." The woman from before clearly took offense to that, giving a face that screamed "How dare you!" and Dumbledore gave a smile and said, "Now now, Professor McGonagall." The now named Professor McGonagall side, hopefully Mr. Potter will make sure this boy won't turn into another Slytherin troublemaker.
Snape held a hand out as he began to walk. "Follow me to the dungeons where the Slytherin common room is located. Do be sure to keep up." Naruto turned and quickly waved to Hagrid, who smiled and waved back, as he followed Snape to the dungeons. The two made their way down silently, neither speaking until they reached the door to the Slytherin common room. "The password to enter the Slytherin common room is 'Pure-blood'. Also, I happen to know that you will be taking my potions class tomorrow, be sure to make it on time and behave correctly." Naruto nodded and gave the skinny man a slight smile, "Yes sir." Snape's head gave the slightest twitch for a nod as he began walking past the blond Slytherin. "...Sir?" The boy asked right as Snape was about to leave. The man stopped, and turned his head slightly towards the boy. "Would it be alright with you, if maybe once in a while you taught me how to defend myself or maybe more about the wizarding world? Once the year is finished, I'm not sure if I'll remember everything and I was hoping you'd be able to teach me more. It's okay if you're too bus-" The man cut him off by saying, "You will learn that the Defense against the Dark Arts professor is Professor Quirrel. And you will learn more about the Wizarding world in History of Magic from Professor Binns." Naruto looked down slightly and nodded, "I see-" "However. If you do find yourself in need of... extracurricular activities to learn more, come to the potions classroom once classes have ended. As the head of Slytherin house, it is my duty to make sure my students know their place and are able to learn without...distraction." Naruto nodded, slightly bowing his head almost out of instinct as the professor left.
Naruto turned towards the painting. "Pure-Blood." The painting opened revealing a doorway to the Slytherin common room. (See image on Wattpad for room description.)
Naruto looked around, surprised by the massive room. He looked out the window and realized that the common room was underwater. His eyes widened and walked over, when he noticed Draco, Daphne, Pansy, Crabbe, and Goyle all sitting on leather couches talking to each other. "There he is, the man of the hour, Daphne here thought you got hexed or expelled on your first day." Draco teased, causing Daphne's face to turn so red you might as well change her name to Daphne Redgrass. "Shut it you git!" She hissed, smacking the boy's leg, making him jump. Everyone laughed and Naruto rubbed the back of his head. "Professor Dumbledore was just letting me know he knows about my situation, and I might be getting private lessons from Professor Snape." Draco gaped and Daphne and Pansy both hopped as Pansy hissed/shouted "Lucky!" Naruto laughed slightly before yawning. "Don't do that, that's stuff's-" Draco yawned, "contagious." Everyone ended up yawning. Draco stood. "Might as well go to bed, night." He said waving his hand towards the girls, who were already walking towards the girl's dorms.
Draco led Naruto to the boys' dorms and surprisingly his trunk was next to a bed that was right next to Draco's bed and trunk. Naruto dressed into some pajamas that Harry bought for him and they all got into their beds. Naruto turned his head towards the window, smiling as he watched some of the lake creatures swim with the dim light from the moon, before slowly falling asleep. This year will definitely be... magical.
