A/N This is the thirteenth of the series of drabbles and one-shots I'm writing for the 100 Times Challenge

Set the September after the war – the seventh years have returned to Hogwarts to repeat the year. But it's not the same, many changes have been put in place.

13. Belonged

Harry was surprised to find that he was comfortable in his new surroundings. He had been expecting to feel out of place, awkward, he had even expected to be rejected and shunned. Instead he had been welcomed with open arms. Partially due, of course, to his new friends.

The re-sorting of Hogwarts had caused uproar, but Harry had been willing enough to go through with it. He knew now that the hat would put him where he truly belonged, he knew that it was not the house that makes the wizard, the wizards make the house.

The re-sorting had caused some surprising changes in the houses and some not so surprising. Many of the students were re-sorted into their original houses, but many of those from Slytherin were sorted into Gryffindor and many Gryffindor into Ravenclaw. Harry had been the only Gryffindor to be sorted into Slytherin.

Luckily for him, all animosity that had existed between him and the snakes had disappeared due, no doubt, to the fact that he had saved Draco's life.
