Previously on What If?
"Hmm... a lot of courage" it whispered. "And a thirst to prove yourself..."
"Oh! I know! Gryffindor!"
...
My eyes widened to the size of dinner plates and I can hear whispers and murmurs drift to my ears.
"Gryffindor? And a Malfoy?"
"Are you sure? That's Lucius Malfoy son that is!"
I took off my hat and stumbled to the confused, clapping Gryffindor table.
I took a seat next to Harry and Ron and they turned to look at me.
"What are they whispering about?" Harry asked.
I hesitated before replying "Its my family. Each person was in Slytherin. Except me."
"Oh." Ron said and we remained silent for the rest of the sorting.
"The very best of evenings to you! Now to our new students, welcome, to our old students, welcome back! Another year full of magical education awaits you. Before we begin our banquet, I have a few words I would like to say: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! That is all thank you."
Suddenly, plates full of chicken, roast beef, pumpkin juice, salads and cake filled the great hall.
I filled up a plate of everything there.
I started a conversation with Harry, Ron and Hermoine.
"Wow! When my parents said Hogwarts was amazing I never knew they meant this wonderful!"
"I know! This is unbelievable!" Ron said, helping himself to more chicken.
As we continued the conversation, my worries about how my parents are going to react of me being in Gryffindor slowly faded away.
After the Great Hall feast was over, Percy showed us to the Gryffindor common room.
Abruptly, we stopped in front of a painting labeled the 'Fat Lady'.
To my surprise, the picture moved and asked "Password?".
Percy then replied in a pompous tone "Fortuna Major" and the picture/door swung open to reveal a room with couches, a fireplace, tables, and pictures.
Percy pointed to the spiral staircases, one on the left and one on the right "This one on the right is the girl dormitories and on the left is the boy dormitories. Now up you go, its almost lights out!"
Harry, Ron, Neville, Dean, Seamus and I went to our dorms.
The dorms were red and gold to match the Gryffindor lion. It had a electric fireplace and six beds.
I took the one on the far left, closest to the window.
We were surprised to see our luggage there and fully set so we sat down in silence for a while until Dean pulled out a sack of Bernie Botts Every Flavor Beans.
"Each of us will pick a bean and see what happens" Dean said in a excited voice.
Ron went first and picked a orange bean. He put it in his mouth and began to chew. Suddenly, he started to roar like a lion. We rolled around in laughter. Next Neville went and picked a purple bean that made him meow like a cat. Then Harry went and took a red bean. Just as he started to chew Dean yelled "No! Not that one!" but it was too late. Harry began to breathe out fire and have smoke come out his ears. Finally it was my turn.
I picked out a blue bean and started to talk in a American accent advertising a toothpaste commercial.
We roared in laughter until the lights dimmed and said "five minutes till lights out" and as the rest entered their beds I remembered I told my mom that I would send her a letter once I came to Hogwarts.
So I picked up a quill and wrote:
Dear Mother,
Hogwarts is just how I imagined but better! And believe it or not I already made friends with a few people. Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Seamus Finnigan, Dean Thomas and Hermoine Granger. And The Great Hall and feast was good too. Oh, I'm just stalling aren't I? Well I do not want to tell you this because I am afraid you might not accept me. I am proud to tell you that I have been sorted into Gryffindor. I hope you aren't mad.
Love,
Draco
I took a deep breath and sent it to Bubo Bubo to send to my mother.
Then a laid down on my bed and grinned at how good Hogwarts was and fell asleep.
Meanwhile...
"He's in Gryffindor?!" Lucius cried.
