Author's Note: Hello readers, sorry about the late update. Homework won't do itself. I'll try to have more frequent updates. I have not abandoned this story though.

Draco's POV:

Draco sat quietly amongst the other Hufflepuffs waiting for Dumbledore to stop speaking and for the feast to begin. He wrapped up his cookie speech and food appeared before them. Draco and his fellow Hufflepuffs dig in. As they are eating one of the prefects started speaking to the first years.

"Congratulations on getting into Hufflepuff. The main rule of Hufflepuff is that we stick together. No matter where you came from we are family now." The prefect said smiling at Draco.

Yes, Hufflepuff would work out nicely. As the feast came to an end the prefects started to bring groups of first years. Draco was about to follow his perfect when his head of house stopped him.

"Headmaster Dumbledore has requested to see you. Follow me" She said with a kind smile.

Draco followed her as she led him down several hallways and in front of a large statue of a gargoyle. She knocked three times on the gargoyle swung open. Inside was a spiral staircase with a low rise and a long run.

Draco looked at Madam Sprout in question she nodded for him to wheel himself to the base of the step. When he did she cast a spell that made the stairs turn and they were carried to the top of the spiral staircase. Madam Sprout opened the door at the top and Draco cautiously wheeled himself into what had to be Dumbledore's office.

"Welcome Mr. Malfoy, Madam Sprout. Draco, I have asked you here to get to know you better and deal with your condition. Madam Sprout, thank you for bringing Draco here. Please shut the door on your way out." Dumbledore said kindly sitting behind his large desk. Madam Sprout nodded and left.

Draco sat in silence mind whirling. Being alone with the headmaster was not where he wished to be at the moment. At least not yet.

"Hello Mr. Malfoy, welcome to Hogwarts. Now as you may know our mediwitch is Madam Pomphrey. You have a monthly visit with your healer. Yes?"

Draco nodded.

"Well since we can't have you being away every month or have strangers going around in the building. You will go to Madam Pomphrey for your visits from now on."

This made Draco a bit nervous. He had been seeing the same healer since birth and he doubted a school nurse would have enough experience to deal with his condition. Plus, he needed somebody to help him do his leg stretches. Dumbledore continued on oblivious to Draco's concerns.

"And of course, we're going to find you your own room, you can't stay in Hufflepuff of course."

"Why can't I stay in Hufflepuff?" Draco interrupted.

"The entrance to Hufflepuff isn't wheelchair friendly. An I am sure you would be more comfortable on your own. I'll have someone escort you there after we are done here. Now, your room will have everything you need, I know you have certain restrictions but you will be expected to attend class like everyone else."

Draco nodded along in agreement. He didn't like being separated from his house but he doubted he could do anything about it at the moment.

"Now I must tell you that I will not tolerate any funny business, keep your nose clean." Dumbledore suggested. To someone else he may seem like a stern grandfather but Draco didn't like the look in his eye.

"Well Mr. Malfoy, I think we're done here." Draco nodded and headed to the door. He went down the spiral escalator and saw Harry and Mr. McGonagall.

"I am to take you to your room." Mrs. McGonagall said to Draco. Draco nodded and threw a smile at Harry who was looking at Draco with a mixture of concern and confusion.

"Lead the way."

Harry's POV:

The Great Feast was done and Harry watched as prefects started showing first years around. He was about to join his group when he noticed a teacher leading Draco away. Odd that was, why wasn't he joining the rest of the Hufflepuffs? Harry turned around to follow them when he ran into the teacher that had read their names off for the sorting, Professor McGonagall.

"Mr. Potter, come with me please, the headmaster has requested to see you."

Harry nodded and followed the professor. Wasn't it strange that his head of house wasn't taking him? And why did Dumbledore want to meet with him anyway. Professor McGonagall stopped in front of a statue of a gargoyle. It opened up to a spiral staircase and to his surprise Draco was right there.

'What was he doing alone with the Headmaster?' Harry wondered. Harry climbed the steps and Dumbledore waved him in as McGonagall led Draco away. Harry walked into Dumbledore's office and stood before his desk.

"Let me get you a chair my boy." The old man said snapping his fingers. The chair that appeared behind Harry startled him quite severely.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, Harry my boy! Now I'm sorry about the confusion. I'm getting your house placement settled out right now."

Harry looked at the old man in confusion for a moment. What was wrong with his house? The sorting hat DID put him in Slytherin.

"Umm...Sir, what is wrong with my house?"

Dumbledore looked at him as if he were a young child that didn't understand.

"You were put into the wrong house, you were supposed to be in Gryffindor, like your parents. They would have been proud to see you in Gryffindor."

Harry just stared at Dumbledore, mind whirling. Did this man just use his dead parents to manipulate him? Did it have any truth Harry wondered?

"But sir, the Hat put me in Slytherin."

"I know my boy and that is being fixed as we speak. I'll take you to your common room myself."

Dumbledore led a confused Harry through the castle to Gryffindor Tower. Dumbledore led him to his dorm where all the other boys were already asleep. He laid awake most of the night wondering what happened. He also wondered how Draco was doing. Had Dumbledore changed his house too? Harry knew one thing for sure. He needed to talk to the blond in the morning.
