Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter


"Bella, come in" said a mysterious person with scarlet eyes

"Have you heard news from Quirrell?" How did the operation go?

"It did not go as planned master, though the troll entered the Great Hall it was soon intercepted."

"What! By who?!"

"A boy named Harry Potter"

"Well tell Quirrell if he fails he will be punished!"

As Bella was about to leave the other person spoke.

"Oh, and by the end of the year I want that Potter boy dead!"


Far away Harry Potter woke up from a very terrible nightmare about some one plotting to kill him. He might tell his mum and dad about it later but now it was time for a little rest.

When Harry woke up he heard his mum and dad arguing about something. Then they realised that their son was awake.

James Potter was furious at his son for having a battle with the troll which happened to be dead.

"What were you thinking?!" asked James Potter furiously as he paced the hospital wing

"You could have been hurt badly, or even killed!!! How would we explain that to Katherine?!"

"I'm sorry but Harry was killed by trying to kill a troll" he said in a sing-song voice.

"I didn't try to kill it I mea-" but apparently this was the wrong thing to say because he stopped mid-sentence when he saw his father was even more furious

Silence………

Finally James had lost his cool and stormed off. Lily smiled sadly.

"Don't worry Harry, Dad's just a little bit angry, he'll get over it.

Just then two men entered the hospital wing.

"Harry!" one man exclaimed.

"Uncle Sirius and Uncle Remus!"

"Hello Harry" said Remus

"I can't believe he took on a troll! Awesome!!

"Sirius!" exclaimed Lily "You're discouraging the boy"

"Whatever" replied Sirius and rolled his eyes.

Harry, Lily, Sirius and Remus talked for a long while until Sirius brought up a certain topic.

"Whose birthday is it soon?" he asked trying to make everyone guess

"No ones" replied Harry

"It's yours!" exclaimed Sirius "Can't even remember his own birthday". Sirius shook his head.

"Err…..no it's not" said Harry raising his eyebrows

Lily and Remus stifled a laugh.

Sirius had a masked face, showing no emotion.

"Anyway, Remus continued. "We got you a present for showing such Gryffindor courage" as he pulled out a broom and a piece of parchment.

"Are you Serious?"

"No only I am Sirius" he grinned and gave his custom bark like laugh.

Lily and just rolled her eyes

"Wow a broom, a Nimbus 2000!!"

"But first years can't have brooms, what can he do with it?" asked Lily

"We got permission from Albus" Sirius and Remus said simultaneously.

Be careful on your back home guys, ok?"

"Why?" asked Remus

"Well with Voldemort roaming the streets now a days, I heard that he was even in your area Sirius.

"Don't worry we'll be fine" replied Remus


Down at the great hall many children were gathering for the sorting because they never completed it.

"Mr Potter will be sorted later" one of the Professors said when one of the students asked when he would be sorted.

Turpin, Lisa

RAVENCLAW

Weasley, Ronald

"Hmmnnnn" the sorting hat thought to itself. "You would do well in Gryffindor what with all your siblings there

All Ron's brothers were crossing their fingers hoping that Ron would be in Gryffindor. Just as the Hat was about to shout Ron's house, Harry Potter stepped into the great hall.

GRYFFINDOR

Ron's brothers let out a sigh of relief as he came to sit at the table.

Finally it was Harry's time to be sorted, he had hoped he would be in Gryffindor like his parents.

"Difficult yes, very difficult "thought the sorting hat, " I see much courage maybe Gryffindor, but you would do well in Slytherin.

It took an exceptionally long time but the sorting hat had finally come to a decision.

RAVENCLAW

The table cheered, Harry took a seat next to a bushy-haired girl.

Now before the banquet I'd just like to say a few words, and here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!

Thank you.

Everybody cheered and started do dig in. Harry, feeling right at home began talking to others around him.

It might not be a bad year after all, Harry thought to himself.
