Chapter 4

"Marry Matthews !" Billy called the next person up. He studied her for a bit then gave a slight nodd. "Ravenclaw !"he shouted and the Ravenclaw kids clapped. "Draco Malfoy!" he called. The blond bloke stood up with a cocky smirk on his face. Billy took one glance and shouted "Slytherin !" The Slytherins clapped and cheered. Blondy high fived that Theo guy.

"Harry Potter!" Billy called. The whole room grew quiet. Nobody knew what to expect from me. Neither did I. I causally walked up to Billy. He studied me with his brown eyes. "Hmm.." he mummered. "You're smart but Ravenclaw doesn't seem right. You're to brave to be a Hufflepuff, but also sly and tricky. Slytherin seems right." I shook my head no. I didn't like the thoughts of being with rich snobby gits. Also something about them make my eye twitch. Probably their clothes. Nice, clean but over all new. I shivered at the thought.

"No you say ? Maybe Gryffindor then. You're a brave one. Yes Gryffindor it is then." and with that said he shouted "Gryffindor!"

The Gryffindor house went up in cheers and claps. I thought about it. Gryffindor seems nice. Actually a pretty good choice for me. But I still can't shake it off that he would of sorted me in Slytherin. Nothing good comes out of that group I've heard. "Aww little snakey boy is a brave little lion cub. How cute." a sickly horrible voice said. I turned to see pug face, blondy and the italian. Before I could even do anything someone shouted "Shut up you slimey Slytherins. Leave him alone. Expecially you ferret face !"

A red head walked up and stood next to me. Glaring directly at the blond. I almost laughed. Ferret face. Classic. "Be quiet Weasle. You cannot be talking with all thoes hidious freckles on your face." Blondy said back. The red head face grew red with anger. Before he could get another comeback in I pulled him away. Trouble isn't my cup of tea so I'd rather have less of it. After he calmed down the guy stuck out a hand. "Ron Weasly at your acquaintance." he said with a grin. I looked at his hand, wondering if I should take it. But looking at his cheeky grin giving off a friendly vibe I couldn't resist. If possible he smiled even more.

"Welcome to Gryffindor. Stick with me and you'll have a great time." he said. I nodded. A little smile creeping up. My first friend.

**** Draco's POV

That darn Weasle has nerve ! How dare he. I wasn't even messing with my raven. Wait did they shake hands ? And is my raven actually smiling at that ? I felt anger boil up. Then it hit me. My raven ? Now I'm acting possessive to something I don't even have. Then a smirk came apond my face. Yet.

"Everyone settle down. Yes, now your house colors. Ravenclaw is orange and blue. Hufflepuff is yellow and black. Slytherin is green and sliver and Gryffindor is red and gold. Know them well and wear them well. There will be hints and clues from them." the professer said.

I love this game. My mother and father went to this school and they did the same. My whole family is Slytherin so there was so suprise that I am to. If you were born into this town then you know all about the hunt and the houses. You stay in thoes houses for the rest of your schooling days. Anyway back to the hunt. It's not easy. The list has about 50 things or more and the more you find the harder it gets. Basically this test your surivial skills and knoweledge. Also helps you in the real world. You learn some deep stuff. But it's all worth it in the end. I mean come on people. It's flipping Disney World and the Bahamas. Wouldn't you want to win ?

"Come on lets go back to our seats." Blaise said to a fuming Pansy and I. Her spoiled self is probably not used to getting told off. "Four people from each house come and get a list." the professer called out.

**** Harry's POV

Ron and I went to sit with the rest of the Gryffindors. A tall boy named Neville got the paper for us. "Okay first thing is write a poem about sadness." a girl said. "any takers?" No one seemed to want to do it so I nodded my head ever so slightly, got a piece of paper and began to write. Then I showed them.

I wipe my tears away
Before they fall
But the sadness
Makes them come again

My tears hold a different story
Everytime they shed
Pain , love
Happiness and joy
My tears come out

They affect many people
In many different ways
The boys aways want to cuddle everytime one falls down my face
The girls want to know whats wrong and fix the problem quickly

My tears share a song
A melondy
A tune
So strong that noone can hear
My tears make me stronger
Prepair me for the unexpected
The worst
The hurt

My tears spill out
And never stop comming

Everyone looked at me after they finished reading. Then slowly looked at eachother with understanding faces and nodds. "Im starting to see you in a different light Potter." Semeus said. Then they all clapped. I really don't think the poem was all that good. Just saying things from the heart. "Okay write about sadness. Check. What's next?" and so we began to work on the list.

**** Draco's POV

"Alright next thing. Blood from any kind of snake." Blaise said. "Ironic." I stated. "How in the bloody hell are we going to get that?" Nott asked. "We can go to a zoo after class sneak in and steal some."Pansy said. "Thinking like a true Slytherin." Blaise grinned.

"Okay does anyone know how to pick locks?" some kid name Greg asked. "Who in Slytherin doesn't. Out of the way." I scoffled. Snatching a bobby pin from Pansy's hair and picking the lock to one of the zoo repitle doors. After a few twist it clicked open. We snuck inside with ease making our way over to the snakes. "What kind should we take?" Vince asked. "The less trouble the quicker this gets done so lets use a small one." I said. They all agreed.

We soon found a two foot snake. It was pitch black in color and had bright green eyes. "Reminds you of the new kid doesn't it." Vince whispered in my ear. I gave a faint nodd. "I think we should seidate it first. I don't want it to strike at any of us." Blaise said. Pansy came back with a needle. Where she got it from, we don't know.

"I'm not going to do it so.." she said.

Us guys looked at eachother. Girls these days I swear. Reason why I'm gay. "I'll do it." Nott said. He carefully walked over to it. Quickly he injected it. The snake flew up at not. He screamed then we screamed and he screamed again. "Oh my gosh!" Pansy cried. Then Nott started laughing. We all looked at him with the 'what the fuck faces.' Didn't he just get bitten by a poisonus snake and now he is laughing.

"You guys seriously believed that." he laughed. "It passed out soon as I injected it." he picked it up and started shaking it. Our shocked faces slowly hit with relization.

"You stupid bloke!" Pansy said punching him in the stomach.

"That wasn't even chippy." Greg said.

"I hate you Theo." Blaise said using his first name nickname.

"Okay lets quickly take its blood and get out of here." I said. After we did such we quickly left. Ignoring the camras along the way. Walking towards a cafe with the vile of blood in Pansy's bag we checked that off the list. We entered the cafe and sat down.

"Oh yeah." I said. Gaining all their attention. " you ever tick us like that again. I will kill you." I spat. He gulped and nodded quickly.
