Disclaimer: Harry Potter obviously don't belong to me as JK Rowling owns it and its amazing, I have created 'Vasilis' character/personality completely, switching him with Harry with matching storyline/similar events and some may be opposite.
Warnings: May be a bit of violent, Annoying Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, don't worry! The Weasley twins are on Vasilis's side as well as Ginny in a few chapters in the future. *winks*
Chapter 3 part 2
Draco chatted for most of the train journey, an old lady came by with a trolley full of all sorts of sweets you've imagined!
Vasilis got up and brought loads of Cauldron cakes and Chocolate Frogs. He set them on Draco's side and went back to pick up his book...
Draco happily bit off a wiggling chocolate frog's leg while searching for any cards he needed for his huge collection, Vasilis shook his head in dismay as he chuckled and carried on reading...
Then Vasilis heard a knock on the compartment door, he quickly disguised his dark book into a first year book as a he got up to open the door to reveal a brown-blushy haired girl.
"Have you seen a frog around here? Neville lost his frog." She asked politely and both boys shook their heads.
Draco scowled as the brown haired girl said that her name is 'Hermione Granger', "What a mudblood doing here? Looking for Harry Potter, the Golden Boy as well?" Draco sneered at the girl.
Hermione blushed and was about to leave when Vasilis took out his brown school wand and promptly said, "Accio Neville's frog!" which then a dark green and brown frog zoomed into the compartment alarmingly pass Hermione's head.
It landed on Vasilis's hand neatly and he handed it to Hermione who gasped soundlessly at Vasilis.
"H-How are you able to do that so well? We're not supposed to do magic outside school/wizarding world! I've read all about it and we're not even at school yet!" Hermione said with an annoying high-pitched voice that rang echoingly in Vasilis's ears.
Vasilis irritatingly listened to her and glared at her, making her cower away awkwardly.
"Listen there, Hermione Granger! I can do it well and it's simple enough if you practiced enough with doing the actual thing, duhhh. So get out to search for your precious Golden Boy!" Vasilis said with clear annoyance in his voice, harshly wandlessly pushed her out, slammed the compartment's door.
Draco watched him in amazement and then sniggered at 'Granger's reaction'.
Vasilis sighed and went back to his book in peace.
A little while later, they both got changed into their uniforms as the train got closer to Hogsmeade and finally stopped at the station.
Vasilis picked up everything they brought with them and followed Draco out of the train when then they heard a blooming low voice that rang out throughout the station.
"Firs' years! Firs' years over here!"
Vasilis curiously followed the loud voice to suddenly see a huge man with a brown bushy beard and black kind beetle eyes that scanned over the students' excited chattering heads.
"C'mon, follow me-any more firs' years? Mind yer step now! Firs' years follow me!"
They all then slipped and stumbled down the deep, narrow path as they followed the half-giant. "Yeh'll get yer firs' sight o' Hogwarts in a sec."
Vasilis wrinkled his nose in disgust at the half-giant's lack of speaking English properly but then saw Hogwarts immediately and gasped at the beautiful castle as they came to the dark lake.
Everyone gasped, "Ooooohh!", when the narrow path had opened suddenly to the sight of the giant black lake with boats floating peacefully on it.
Perched on top of a mountain on the other side was a tall lit castle with high towers, its windows sparkling in the starred sky
'Seriously? We're going in boats? Disgraceful...' Vasilis thought as they walked closer to the light brown boats.
"No more'n four to a boat!" The half-giant called as he pointed to the neat row of wooden boats on the sandy shore.
Neville gripped his frog in his right pocket as the first years got into groups and got in boats.
Vasilis and Draco got in a boat along with Blaise and Terry (Boot) who introduced themselves earlier.
"Everyone in?" shouted the half-giant who had a boat to himself,"Right then, FORWARD!"
Then the boats moved off all at once, gliding across the lake like it was smooth glass with no bumps.
Vasilis quickly bent down under the low cliff after hearing "Heads down!" from the half-giant. They finally reached a kind of underground harbour where they then clambered out onto the rocky ground full of pebbles and rocks.
They all walked up a passageway stairs in silence with feelings of excitement and nervousness, they then crowded around the huge oak door and the half-giant knocked loudly on the door...
A stern-looking witch with a tight bun in her hair swung the door open and the half-giant cheerfully said, "The firs' years, Professor McGonagall."
She nodded "Thank you, Hagrid. I will take them from here.", she opened the door wider revealing the Entrance Hall.
It was huge with a high impressive ceiling with stone walls lining up with flaming lit torches, a magnificent marble staircase facing them led to the upper floors.
They all followed Professor McGonagall across the flagged stone floor, there were hundreds of loud chatty voices from the right side...
Vasilis groaned realising something, this is going to be so loud for his ears to handle... what a great year it's going to be...
Professor McGonagall showed them into a small empty chamber near the hall. They all crowded in, standing rather close together and most anxiously peered around nervously.
-/-/-
"Welcome to Hogwarts," Professor McGonagall said,
"The start of term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into your Sorting is a very important ceremony because while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts. You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitories and spend free time in your house common room."
"The four houses are called 'Gryffindor', 'Hufflepuff', 'Ravenclaw' and 'Slytherin'. Each house has its own noble history and each produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your house points, while any rule-breaking will lose your house points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the House Cup, a great honour. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours."
"The Sorting Ceremony will take place in a few minutes in front of the rest of the school. I suggest you all smarten yourselves up as much as you can while you are waiting." She said while taking note of Ron Weasley's dirty nose and Neville's messy robes.
Professor McGonagall's beadily eyes scanned the students and frowned when she saw Vasilis with uncertainly look in her eyes.
She finally said,"I shall return when we are ready for you, please wait quietly." Then she left the chamber.
Vasilis glanced at Draco, both smirking at the same time, they both observed Professor McGonagall and quickly noticed that she was looking for someone... who has the name of Harry Potter of course, Vasilis grinned at the idea of a little show or will it be annoyed unexpectedly? Time will only tell...
Vasilis sneered at the red haired-boy who grumblingly muttered something, Hermione on the other hand was boasting loudly of the spells she somehow knew and thought out loudly on which ones she might need to do...
'Urgh too noisy' Vasilis thought irritated.
Suddenly some people screamed and Vasilis's senses picked up immediately and he grinned, ' Of Course! I almost forgot...' he thought happily before turning around to greet one of the floating ghosts that entered the room and glided across the chamber.
"Well hello there, Friar. I read quite a lot about you, sir." Vasilis said repectly to the fat pale ghost in front of him, the ghost wore a ruff and tights and was watching the students before jumping in shock.
He then beamed brightly; "Well there! Someone finally knows me! Hope to see you in my old house... it's Hufflepuff."
He disappeared into of the halls with Vasilis staring after the ghost in disgust... Hufflepuff? No way!
Draco heard all of what the ghost said to Vasilis and sniggered quietly at the suggested house, Vasilis glared at him and turned his attention to the opening door.
Professor McGonagall came in and quickly started to fuss about the chamber then lining the students up, "Now, follow me students. Form a line please."
They all followed her into the Great Hall, the high double doors opened by Professor McGonagall revealing the magnificent lite Hall.
Thousands of floating lit candles that hovered over the busy long wooden tables. There were four main tables, obviously pointing out the four houses of Hogwarts and another long table stood at the end of the Hall with the rest of the adults sitting there peacefully.
An old man with a long tied white man caught Vasilis's attention, he wore ugly colourful robes that magically flashed with detailed patterns, Vasilis knew him as the Headmaster of Hogwarts and was therefore Albus Dumbledore.
Vasilis's eyes darkened as they all walked up to the front, a stool with a old hat sat upon it.
The hat was patched, frayed and extremely dirty. Vasilis sniggered at the thought of putting it in the Dursleys' house, Aunt Petunia would scream like a high-pitched whale...
The old hat then twitched and opened its 'mouth'(?) and started to sing;
'Oh you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall.
For I am the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
-/-/-
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart.
Their daring, nerve and chivalry
Set the Gryffindor apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you're a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means
To achieve their ends.
-/-/-
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands [though I have none]
For I'm a Thinking Cap!'
The Hall clapped loudly when the Hat fell silent, Professor McGonagall pulled out a stroll and started calling students forwards to be sorted.
Vasilis sighed and waited... this might be a great year...
I hope you liked this chapter and see ya in Chapter 4! Sorry for the cliffhanger!
