Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter

September 1, 1991

Reality seemed to have caught up with Dumbledore today. For the first time, I have physically seen the man. I do not belief that he was aware of the domino effect that have occurred at the very moment he met my eyes. He has such a cliché image, I just could not help but notice. It was quite a drag to keep myself from laughing. Okay fine, I was laughing hysterically in the safety of my mind.

I think I made a friend today. His name is Ron Weasley. I know that he is related to the chick that my persona was contracted to, but you keep your enemy closer right? What is to say that I cannot sway his way. I was sorted into Gryffindor. I like their color the best. It's remind me of the sun, my only solace in that place. I found out the name of the blond that I met on my first visit to D. Alley today. His name is Draco Malfoy. He is still very much a snob. Funny enough, he asked for my hand in friendship. I'm not quite certain that he even know the true meaning of friendship. His question felt much more like a business negotiation that my uncle by law does with his clients. I did not out right refuse his hand. I took another approach and tell him that I can make my own decision by my own observation. Not in the same words, but it is the gist of it.

I think Hogwarts housed some disturbing individuals. I do not know them as of yet but from the aura scan that I did. I did not like what I've found. Sleeping arrangement, tsk, I so do not like my sleeping arrangement. I have to sleep in the same room as boys! Not just one, but four other boys. Why can I not get a private room. I mean, this castle looked like it was big enough. If I find that there are more than 100 empty rooms I would be so mad. I think I'd just jinxed myself. That feeling was quite disturbing.

This castle is so weird. Why do we need moving staircase? The portraits are so creepy. The subjects move and talk. It's their eyes that really creep me out. Its like they have nothing else better to do than to stare. Its like the magical version of security camera. Woah! Now that I think about it, they would make a perfect surveillance system. Now the question is, who is the one behind the screen. The Headmaster! That would make perfect sense. Oh my gosh! He's the same guy that is after me! And it's not in the good way either. Oh my g- Its a good thing that I refused the hat decision to make me a Slytherin. He would watch me like a hawk.

There are so much magic here. Magic that pollute the clear air that none around me seem to be able to be aware of. With every breathe I take, a new wave of this potent power fill me. There are just so much. Hogwarts it seemed is sentient. The castle aura encased my whole being when I passed something that must have been its shields. I can feel my body getting stronger. Magic seemed to be correcting any scarcity my body have. It is wonderful.

Harry put down the fountain pen after he closed the last sentence of his journal entry. He caped the pen close before putting his things away. He took his time to turn around and scan his occupied setting. The four boys that he mentally disapproved to be his roommates were sleeping away. Their postures are plebeian. Some better than other, but over all Harry conclude that this must be how real boys sleep like. He wiggled his small nose before he too retire to bed. Carefully, he close the curtain around his bed and silently send a mental message to the sentient castle asking her to keep his privacy. A wave of magic washed over him and he smile softly. His eyes slow close and he was soon within slumber embrace.

'I'm so glad that worked'

The moonlight from outside the window shimmered into the room. It slowly made it way toward Harry limb figure and not long after the girl from the morning sunrise replaced Harry in bed.

The early September sunrise shimmered it way to the unmoving figure of the long obsidian black. A short moment later, the long mane was replaced by short unruly hair. Harry fingers twitch slightly then he fist the the bedding. His eyelids folded back to reveal breathe taking emerald green. The sunlight caused the two orbs to shine. In silent, he gracefully got up and exit his his confined space after a silent summoning of his uniform and toiletries. He entered the communal empty powder room and set out to do his morning ritual.

Thirty minutes later he exited the room looking refreshed and well groomed. He made his way to his luggage and silently asked Hogwarts to select the appropriate books for him will he busy himself with setting aside writing utensils, parchment along with two note books. He glance over to the magically stacking books and put them into his satchel bag. He leisurely set the long handle over his shoulder and smooth out his clothing.

Harry scan the room to see his roommates still have not yet awaken. He looked out the window and quickly determined the time and decided to wake them. He went to Neville first, as the boy did not look like he would cause him physical harm upon being awaken. A few gentle shake later, Neville responded with a displease groan. Harry chuckled lightly.

"Longbottom, wake up. It's 7:15"

"Potter?"

"Yes, wake up before all the loo become crowded."

Neville's sleepy eyes blinked with obvious lack of energy. He brought the heels of his hands to his eyes and tried to clear away the golden sleep sands. He yawn and reflexively covered his mouth with one hand and peeked out with one eye at Harry. Aquamarine met bright emerald and he blushed. His eye shyly looked away and he mummer his thanks. He did a quick peak and caught Harry's soft smile and flushed much more vividly.

"You're welcome. Go, before what I said before became a reality"

Neville quickly did as suggested and exit the room with clothing in hand. Harry scanned the scene once more before he decided that it was not worth the rest and use magic to wake them. A snap of his fingers and all three boys was jolted from their sleep. Harry stood unmoving until a few groans confirmed his success and silently left.

He made his way down to the common room with nearly silent footsteps to be greeted by the sight of a nervous Hermione Granger. The girl wa desperately hugging her books to her chest as if it was her life that depended on it. Her face was carefully neutral as she scan the room but Harry could easily read a body language. He made his way toward the girl.

"Good morning Miss Granger, would you like to walk with me to our morning meal?"

Hermione jumped at his silent entrance. She dropped her books in the process and both hands covered over her heart.

"Ah! Don't scare me like that!" She caught her breath while she gave Harry an evil eye. Harry face remained stoic and she silently bent down to collect her books. Deciding to play a role of gentleman, Harry hold on to her books and lift his free hand up.

"Would you like to accompanied me?"

Hemione blushed at the courtly gesture and reflexively nodded. Harry gracefully weaved his arm with hers and the two made their way out of the Gryffindor common room. The two walked in silent as Hermione unsuccessfully being discrete in stealing secret glances at the green eyes boy. She tried to start a conversation many times but was unable to made logistical sound pass her lips. Harry paid her no mind. He was successful in distracting her from her first day of class anxiety. The two journey toward the great hall was uneventful. Many early riser cast them a curious glance before looking away but secretly continue to steal glances at the couple, especially the boy.

Harry morning meal remain undisturbed as he unknowingly have a do-not-disturbed aura about him. He leisurely consumed his morning meal with aristocratic grace. Sometime later, he looked up and noticed the abundant of students that filled the great hall. He slowly analysis his recent time spent in the hall before quickly noticed his roommate Neville occupied the sit across from him. He gave the boy a small smile.

"Good morning Neville. I hope I woke you at the right time?"

Neville blushed and shyly looked down at his half finished meal.

"Y..yeah, thank a lot Potter" his voice as soft and was hard to hear over the loud conversations about the hall, but Harry keen hearing caught it.

"I'm glade. Did you have trouble finding the great hall?"

Neville looked up in surprise as something with status like Harry would want to talk to him. He searched the exotic green eyes before registering what he was doing and quickly looked away. His face flushed.

"I just followed the older years"

"Is that so, would you like for me to wait for you the next time?"

Neville peaked from behind his fringes and snapped his eyes away once more as he was lock eyes with Harry. Harry brought his glass of ice water to his lips and took a generous sip as he awaited Neville's answer. Neville finally looked up and caught Harry eyes. He was about to answer only to be interrupted by their head of house. Each was given a piece of parchment that contained their class schedule. Harry quickly scanned and memorized his before he folded the parchment and put it away. Harry once again picked up his glass of water and bring it to his lips.

"What class did you get Potter?"

Harry turned to follow the feminine voice of the girl next to him. He did a quick scan of her schedule before he held her eyes.

"Every first years have the same class Miss Granger"

"Oh" She blushed.

Harry turned back to the boy across from him and gave a silent gestured. His eyes speaking for him. Neville blushed and gave a silent nod.

"You should finish you meal Longbottom. It is not good to waste food."

Neville did as requested and went back to his meal. Across the hall, glimmering silver eyes watched silently watching.
