Ch 3: Sorting

Harry grinned at Draco. The two were sitting in a compartment on the Hogwarts Express.

They had just said good-bye to their parents. Now they were finally on their way to Hogwarts.

Suddenly the door opened. A boy walked in. "Is there any empty seats here."

Harry ignored the question and sneered. "Who are you?"

"Ron Weasley. I –"

Draco sneered. "Another Weasley? How many are there?"

"Who are you?"

"Draco Malfoy."

The Weasley coughed which sounded like he was covering a snort. "Think my name is funny do you? I knew whom you were the second I saw you. Shabby robes and a scruffy look, there is no doubt that you are a blood traitor Weasley."

Weasley frowned and turned to Harry. "Hello. Who are you?"

"Harry Potter. Now –"

"You're a Potter?"

"Yes, unfortunately. Now leave."

The boy stomped out. Draco rolled his eyes. "Immature git."

Harry smirked. "I agree whole-heartedly."

He then proceeded to cast a locking spell on the door. The rest of the trip they spent either talking or reading their schoolbooks.

Suddenly a voice wafted through the corridors, "We will be arriving in Hogsmead in five minutes. Leave your things on the train. They will be taken up to the castle for you."

Both boys stood and put on their black school robes. The train eventually slowed and stopped. The boys left the train and stood wondering where to go. A voice suddenly wafted through the air. "Firs' years o'er 'ere!"

They turned and saw an enormous figure. They followed him and climbed into the boats that they were led to. A boy and girl climbed in with them. They eventually made it to the castle. They were led up the stairs and a stern woman opened the door. She led the first years to a pair of giant doors. She then left. Harry and Draco started talking again. They were both extremely bored. Suddenly there was a scream. Harry and Draco glanced up to see ghosts float through the walls. The boys snickered at the obvious fright of the other first years.

The stern woman returned and led them into the Great Hall. Harry and Draco peered around with identical masks of concealed awe. The Hall was breathtaking! All the first years were led up to a stool. A frayed and dirty hat was resting on the stool. A rip near the bottom opened and the Hat started singing. (A/n: read the book if you want to know the song. I am too lazy to look it up and copy it.)

When it was finished the first years were called up one by one to put the hat on.

Eventually Draco was called up. "Malfoy, Draco."

The Hat said Slytherin before it barely touched his head. More names were called out until it got to, "Potter, Austin."

Austin grinned and put the Hat on his head. A few seconds later it called out, "Gryffindor!"

Harry smirked. Now it was his turn. Sure enough: "Potter, Harry."

There were whisperings. "The Potters have two sons?"

Harry strode up to the Hat and placed it on his head. 'Interesting… very interesting. Ah! The adopted son of Damien and Tayla… Now Mr. Darknight… I don't believe it will be hard to place you… SLYTHERIN!'

Harry smirked and walked to his new tables. There were many whispers about a Potter being in Slytherin. Harry looked to the Head Table to see the Headmaster's brows furrowed. Harry decided to be cautious around him. He continued looking at the rest of the teachers. He stopped at a regal looking black haired man. Harry frowned and turned to Draco. "Who's that teacher?"

"I don't know. He must be new. I know all the other teachers though."

Suddenly Dumbledore stood up. Harry realized that the Sorting was over. He tuned out the old man until he heard: "And one last thing before we eat… I would like to introduce our new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher. Please welcome Professor Lenox!"

Harry clapped with everyone else. He turned to Draco. "There is something off about him."

Draco nodded knowing that Harry's instincts were never wrong. "We'll just have to be careful around him."

Harry nodded and turned to the now food laden table.
