DisClaimer: I do not make money from this
Chapter Three:Sorting Harry went onto the Hogwarts Express, and took a compartment. He picked through the last book that he hadn't read to that point, and started to read. A while into the ride, a bushy haired girl came in with a nervous looking boy.
"My name is Hermione Granger, have you seen a toad?" Harry ignored her. "You're being rather rude, you know."
"What I find rude, is someone barging into someone's compartment when they're obviously not wanted and demand for them to help you with somebody else's problem," Harry replied, struggling to keep his mask up.
As the train stopped, Harry got off and followed a man he could tell was a half giant to a boathouse. He shared a boat with a boy who looked lonely, and two others; a boy and a girl who were staying as far apart from possible to the first boy. Harry suspected it was part of this blood purity thing, he found it stupid, as he would never support an idea that made him a 2nd class person.
As they walked into the castle, Harry was the only person not to jump at the ghosts walking through the wall. Then, a witch in emerald-green robes said something about the houses, but Harry didn't really listen, as it was probably just what he had read.
The first years then went to get sorted, and soon it was Harry's turn.
Ahh yes, you are brave, loyal, wise, and cunning, even amongst all of them, I am afraid I will have to ask you your opinion…
Harry froze. He wanted to watch before he acts and to find out how people were before he could do anything, that would be the best way to free magic after all.
Well, with that information better be… SLYTHERIN
The whole room was shocked. Eventually, the Slytherins started clapping, although it was half-heartedly. Harry sat away from the others, and ate his meal silently.
Harry then followed two prefects to the dungeon, who began talking. "My name is Alexis Rosier and this is Malcolm Lindom. This wall is where our common room is, the password changes every month on the 1st. We will let you know the passwords the last evening of each month. Gillyweed."
The door opened, and the place looked just like the ideal place of home for Harry. It had black furniture, with silver linings and a green carpet in the middle of the floor. You could see the lake from above which made the common room look green. The prefects showed the first years how to find their rooms, and Harry went to find his.
His room was like a dream, it had a king bed, and a black leather sofa, with a small bookshelf full of books as well. He fell asleep immediately - All of the heads of houses along with Quirrell were in the headmaster's office, concerned looks on their faces.
"Albus, what do we do? This boy was not sorted to Gryffindor, why is he -" Mcgonagall started
"Well, we can only hope, we will need Severus to keep an eye on him," Dumbledore interrupted.
"Why is this- this boy in my house,"Snape snarled.
"Well, I thought that were obvious. If he was in Gryffindor, the students would blindly follow anything he does, if he was in Hufflepuff, he could use being underestimated to his advantage, if he was in Ravenclaw, he could become all knowledgeable and if he was in Slytherin however, he would have to work hard to gain people's trust. This way, he might change his plans before it is to late" The sorting hat said. The whole room seemed to relax, though he knew he had made a risky gamble.
He thought it would be fun to see what the boy does, he supposed that was what Salazar put into him.
He also was interested in the boy's knowledge, that was Rowena.
He also thought he should be brave and risk it, that was the Godric side of him.
He also thought the boy was only eleven, which means there is plenty opportunity to change his ways and go to the light side, he supposed that was the work of Helga.
Nobody in the room seemed to notice the evil look Quirrell gave, nor did they realise the look of pain he had, before his eyes momentarily turned red. Lord Voldemort had taken full control.
"Well, perhaps we should get back to why we are here, we need to discuss the philosopher's stone. Minerva, can you make it so the intruder has to be a piece of the chess set, Quirinus can you enlarge the troll, Filius I need you to make the keys faster, Pomona I just need you to put your Devils snare in as it will be grown now and Severus, remember to add the flames spell on the doors," Dumbledore said, all of the professors nodded and turned to leave, Snape giving Dumbledore a dark look and indicating the hat as he left, Dumbledore nodded grimly at him.
