Chapter 4: A Strange Possibility

The train came to a stop and all the students left. Danny wondered where to go. His first year he had gone with Hagrid on a boat with the other first years. He just decided to follow the older students. They climbed into carriages pulled by thestrals, but since Danny had not seen death, he thought the carriages were moving by themselves.

Once in the Great Hall Danny, Jamie, and Josh took their seats at the Gryffindor table. Danny wondered where his father was, since he wasn't sitting with the rest of the staff. A few seconds later, Harry entered the Great Hall, leading the new students.

"Of course the sorting." thought Danny. "I forgot."

Harry laid down the Sorting Hat. Danny was curious to hear what the hat would sing about. He had been told that it sang a new song each year. He sat back and listened to the hat's new song.

"Many years ago, Hogwarts was founded,

and the school's first term had begun.

I remember that day so well,

for it was when I first had sung.

The founders wanted all to know

everything that they knew.

The spells to learn, the powers to gain,

and the potions that they could brew.

Each founder had their talents,

and their own theories.

So the subjects would be divided

into several class series.

But, of course, all the founders

wanted the very best.

This is where I came along,

to provide a simple test.

I'll take a peek inside your head,

and soon I will know

the best place for you to be,

and that is where you will go.

The brave at heart, like Gryffindor,

shall sit underneath the lion.

You will easily fit right in,

without even trying.

Those cunning folk, like Slytherin,

will belong to the great snake.

There's no need to doubt the fact

that a great wizard (or witch) you'll make.

The most loyal, like Hufflepuff,

to the badger will belong.

Your loyalty to one another

will keep you very strong.

The wise of you, like Ravenclaw,

to the phoenix you will be.

You'll use that sharp brain of your

to gain your victory.

Though separate you must stand

you'll come out strong and tall.

Divided as you all may be

the spirit of Hogwarts is in you all."

When the hat finished singing, and the applause had finally stopped, Harry unrolled a piece of parchment with the list of all the new comers.

"When I call your name, please come forward and put on the hat." he said, and began reading names.

The first two went to Ravenclaw, while the third went to Hufflepuff. The fourth person went to Gryffindor, followed by a Slytherin, Hufflepuff, then Gryffindor again.

"D-" Harry began reading out the next name, but got tongue tide. Was he reading this right? It didn't seem possible. Yet it was right there. Could it possibly be that family?

Harry cleared his throat and called out. "Dursley, Drake!"

A boy stepped forward as his name was called. He was rather tall and muscular for his age, and he had brown hair. He looked at Harry and made eye contact. Drake's eyes were bright green. It was strange though. They seemed to be glowing, like the green color was pulsing electricity from the pupil. Power seemed to be radiating from them. They almost looked like green whirlpools, going into a black hole. They were rather mesmerizing, almost as if he were hypnotizing you. They seemed familiar to Harry, but he couldn't figure out where he'd seen those eyes before

The boy smiled at Harry and sat down. He put the hat on and waited. Harry watched curiously. Could this boy be his nephew? From appearance, he would have said no. He wasn't overweight or anything. And the fact that he was here made it that much more unlikely. The Dursleys hated anything magical, so he figured that if this was Dudley's son, he was probably muggleborn. But even so, he didn't think that his cousin would allow his son to come to a magic school. It could be that even though he had the same last name, he wasn't related to the Dursleys that Harry had lived with for 16 years. But still, he thought that he would look into this further.

Harry was pulled from his thought as the hat finally cried out "SLYTHERIN!"

Harry wasn't surprised. If this was his nephew, he would obviously be in that house. Drake pulled the hat off and handed it to Harry. He fixed him with his hypnotic stare once more before joining his fellow Slytherins.

Harry put Drake out of his mind for now and returned to reading the names. After awhile he came to "Weasley, Kelly!"

Kelly stepped forward with a big grin on her face.

"Gee, I wonder where she will go." thought Harry.

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Obviously." he thought, then called. "Weasley, Kevin!"

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Of course."

Harry rolled up the parchment and took the Sorting Hat away.

McGonagall got to her feet. "Now then, before we begin the feast, I would like to go over a few things. Those of you who have been here before should know what I'm about to say, but just to refresh your memories and to inform our new students, I shall go over them again.

"The Forbidden Forest, just outside of Hogwarts is just that. Forbidden. To all students. To those that wish to try out for Quidditch should give their names to their head of houses. And even though you do not listen to this final rule, it does not change the fact that anything from Weasley's Wizard Wheezes is still forbidden.

"Now then, let the feast begin."

The food appeared. While the new first years gasped in shock, all the other students began digging in.

"Hey Jamie, Josh. Did you notice my dad hesitate when he called that Drake kid?" asked Danny.

"Yeah I did." Jamie replied. "Wonder what happened."

"Don't you have an Uncle Dudley Dursley?" asked Josh.

Danny thought about it for a few seconds. "Yeah your right. I forgot. Wait. You don't think…"

All three of them looked over at the Slytherin table. Drake was sitting there, not talking to anyone while he ate. He seemed to be day dreaming.

"It can't be." said Danny. "I don't really know anything about them, but I do know that the Dursleys were the most anti-magic people ever. It just doesn't seem possible that he could be one of them."

"He could be muggleborn." suggested Josh.

"Or he could not be even related to us." said Jamie.

"Maybe we should talk to him." said Danny.

"Or maybe we could-"

But they did not find out what else they could do, because at that moment Peeves the Poltergeist flew down each table knocking all the food and goblets off the table.

After much commotion and a lot of shouting, everyone got settled down.

"Well, this certainly has been an interesting day." said McGongall. "But now the day is over and tomorrow starts a new day for us all. So good night, and we shall see you bright and early tomorrow."

The students began heading to bed. Soon only Drake was left. He turned to the teachers, but Harry had a feeling Drake was looking at him, then left.

"That Drake fellow seems a bit… odd." said Ron.

"Ron, weren't you listening?" asked Hermione.

"To what?"

"To the names Harry was reading."

"Well obviously. How else would I have known that boy's name?"

Hermione rolled her eyes. "Didn't you notice Harry stumble over the name?"

Ron looked confused. "Yeah, so?"

"Dursley, Ron." said Harry. "That boy might very well be my nephew."

Ron stared at him for a moment, then began laughing. "Drake? No way Harry. Come on. We've been with your aunt, uncle, and cousin for an entire summer. They would be the least likely to have a magic child in the family."

"That doesn't mean it can't happen." said Hermione.

"Well then, why don't you ask him?" suggested Ron. "Ask who his parents were."

"I don't know." said Harry. "We'll see. I'll see you guys tomorrow."

"Bye." said Ron and Hermione together.

Harry went over to the Hogwarts special fire place. It appeared that Neville had already left. Harry scooped up some Floo powder and called out "Potter Manor!"

He came out of his own fireplace. Ginny and Michelle were there waiting for him.

"Daddy!" cried Michelle happily. "How was work?"

"Well the first day isn't really work so much." said Harry. "And what are you still doing up? It's way past your bedtime."

"Mum said I could stay up until you got home." said Michelle.

"Well I'm home now." said Harry. "Now come on, little lady. Lets get you to bed."

Michele said good night to her parents then happily skipped to her room. Harry sat down with Ginny and put an arm around her.

"So how many new students were there?" Ginny asked.

"About a dozen. I'm surprised there were so few." said Harry. "Although Kevin and Kelly are worth the trouble of 10 students each."

Ginny laughed. "What did they do now?"

"Oh, it wasn't what they were doing, but what they were planning." snickered Harry.

He told her about the letter. Ginny laughed again. "I'll bet Hermione loved that."

"Oh yeah. She loved it." said Harry sarcastically. "And I met someone rather interesting today."

"Who?"

"A boy named Drake. Drake Dursley."

(A/N: Ha, ha. Bet none of you saw that coming. Things are about to get interesting.)
