Chapter 9

It Better Be. . .

Harry stood above the form of a bloodied Ron. His eyes were wide and he was breathing heavily. He didn't know what had come over him. He had just punched someone when his parents had always taught him to never fight. He was about to apologize when Ron spoke.

"Bloody 'ell! 'uht 'as that fo'?" Ran was clenching his now broken nose.

Harry turned when he felt a hand slip into his hand. Turning to see a teary eyed Draco he felt his anger leave him just a bit.

Ran stood up and brushed himself off. Looking down at the boys clasped hands. "'ou really 're 'ags!"

Harry's anger came back at full force and turning to glare at the red hair he said in a menacing voice "Get out."

Ron snorted as best he could and turned and left. Harry squeezed Draco's hand and turned back to him. "You okay?"

Draco nodded and grabbed the black haired mans other hand. "Are you?" Indicating his red knuckles.

Harry smiled. "I'm fine. But are you sure your fine. You know not to listen to people here, we told you they were going to be hard on you."

Draco nodded. "Yeah I know, it was just hard to hear so blatantly. I was expecting whispers, not a fight."

Harry gave him a hug. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit him. But I don't regret doing it. What he said was wrong." Harry's eyes grew dark.

"Harry?" Harry drew back and felt his heart leap into his throat. Draco was looking at him with the most innocent smile and his glowing eyes drew him in. "Thanks for sticking up for me."

Harry smiled softly. "You're my angel." Just at that moment the train noticeably started to slow down. Harry looked out the window and quickly pulled Draco to his side. Both boys gasped seeing the castle from the distance. Harry turned to Draco, "We should change!"

*****

Harry and Draco stepped off the train. Then they heard the familiar, at least to Harry, booming voice of Hagrid. "FIRST YEARS! OVER HERE!"

Harry grabbed Draco's hand, "Come on!" then drug him over to the half giant. Draco stared wide eyed up at the man. "Hagrid!"

Hagrid turned to the small boy and enveloped him into a smothering hug. "Harry! How good ta see ya! How did ya like the birthday present?"

Harry struggled out of Hagrids large arms and smiled. "Best rock cakes yet Hagrid." Hary turned to Draco and brought him a few steps foreword. "Hagrid, this is my friend, Draco."

"Nice to meat ya!" Hagrid thumped Draco on the back and he would have fallen down if it wernt for the strong grip Harry had on his arm.

"Well come on guys. THIS WAY FIRST YEARS! Fallow me to the boats." They started to walk off.

Draco turned to Harry. "That guy is huge!"

Harry giggled. "Yeah I had the same reaction when I first met him. He is half giant."

Draco was at a lost for words. While he couldn't remember all things, he could remember some. Like he knew what magic was, he knew he was a wizard, he knew what aurors were, and he knew how to take care of himself, but other things like half giants and Hogwarts he had never heard of. He wished he could get his memory back so he wouldn't feel like he was so full of holes. But looking next to him as he got into the boat he knew that if he did get his memory back they would take him away from Harry, because they had all said he was probably here to hurt him.

Draco shook his head as the boat rocked again as Hermione found her way onto their boat. "Hello, Hermione."

She smiled warmly at him. "Hello Draco." She then turned to Harry. "Potter."

Harry frowned. "Um, Hi." He smiled at her but she just ignored him and looked at Draco. "Uh. . . Did I do something wrong?"

Hermione sniffed. "You hit my boyfriend."

Harry spluttered. "B-boyfriend? I didn't know Weasley was your boyfriend. Besides he deserved it."

Hermione gaped at him. "There is never a good reason to hit someone!"

Draco went to back up Harry. "Well he was kinda asking for it."

Hermione turned to glare at him. "You know I was hoping that the rumors I heard on the train weren't true. The I could be friends with someone who liked to study and read as much as I do, but I don't want to be friends with a death eater." She then stood and walked out the boat and over to another that had a familiar red head in it.

Harry threw his arm around the blond. "Don't worry about them. We've got each other that's all that matters."

Draco looked up and smiled.

The boats lurched foreword and as they turned the corner all thoughts of Ron and Hermione left the two boys heads. Before them was a beautifully lit castle. It had many towers and torches and just had a air of magic around it. Draco had to remind himself to breath it was so breathtaking. He turned to Harry to see him matching his grin.

Sure, Harry had seen picture of the castle inside and out, but they would never compare to actually seeing it. His dads had tons of picture all over the house of the magnificent castle, but none of them held the power that Harry could feel. His dad, James, had always told him that sense he had felt voldemorts power at such a young age that he must be empathetic for it. Just like the day they found Draco, he knew he was a wizard before he had told them. He could feel it. He turned to Draco next to him and smiled.

*****

They were stopped on the stairs by a old looking women. He had her Hair pulled back in a tight bun and had dark red robes trimmed with gold on. She nodded at the children and waited for everyone to settle before she began to speak. "Hello, my name is Professor McGonagall. Ill be your transfiguration teacher while you're here at Hogwarts. Behind these doors is the great hall where you will be sorted into your houses. Those houses are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Now fallow me." She then turned and threw open the doors.

Harry and Draco, who made sure they were at the front of the group, fallowed her through. Harry, he knew because his dads had told him, looked up and told Draco to do the same. They both gasped and watched as the charmed clouds drifted by and behind them were stars and the moon. The halted to a stop in front of a Chair that had a hat on it. Looking up at the staff table he recognized some teachers. Like Dumbledore, Hagrid (Who grinned and waved at him), Madam Hooch, and Professor Snape. On the same end where Snape sat, were his parents. He waved eagerly and nudged Draco, who waved as well.

McGonagall cleared her throat and unrolled a long piece of parchment. "Brown, Lavender!"

A small girl with long light brown hair walked foreword. McGonagall removed the fading old hat from the chair and she sat down in its place. The McGonagall placed the hat on her head and stepped back. All was quiet for a few second the the seam on the hat opened and bellowed out. "GRYFFINDOR!"

The table to the far left cheered and Lavender Hopped down and ran over to them. The process kept going until They got to a name both Harry and Draco recognized. "Granger, Hermione!"

The bushy girl walked foreword and stepped up to the stool. After having the hat on her head it yelled out "GRYFFINDOR!" The house cheered again as another one joined the ranks.

A few more people were called out, two Hufflepuff a Ravenclaw and a Slytherin, then they heard. "Malfoy, Draco!"

A lot of people gasped, whispers started, and Draco heart raced twice as fast and he reached out for Harry's hand in the mix of black robs. Finding it he got a reassuring squeeze, and reluctantly letting go he stepped up to the stool. After having the Hate placed on his head he waited.

"Ahhh. . ." A voice came out. "Malfoy, I was not expecting this. Hmmm. . . Your mind, seems wrong. Oh you have much to learn and much to remember. I think ill put you in a house that will help you with that. . . It better be. . ."

"RAVENCLAW!!!" There was considerably less cheering then before but Draco would take it. He smiled down at Harry and walked over to his new house. Not many people talked to him but one girl with long blond hair and wide eyes waved him over. Draco smiled and sat down.

"You know I don't believe those rumors about you." She held out her hand. "Luna Lovegood."

"Draco Malfoy." They shook hands and Draco was happy to have another friend.

A few more names were called then McGonagall said. "Potter, Harry!" More whispers and turned heads came with the call of his name. Harry, being used to it just rolled his eyes and walked up to the stool. He saw Sirius give him a thumbs up out of the corner of his eye. Having a seat he felt the sorting hat being placed on his head and lower over his eyes.

"Ahhhh. Mr. Potter, I've been expecting you. You've felt pain and happiness. Your courageous but sly and cunning. I think I know where to put you. Better be. . ."

"SLYTHERIN!!!!"

Harry stayed completely still after McGonagall took the hat off. She had to nudge him to make him start walking towards the Slytherin table. Harry's legs moved on his own but his eyes trailed over to his fathers at the head table but he couldn't keep eye contact. Sitting down away from everyone else he noticed that there was no applause. Trying to hold back tears he searched the room for the pair of grey eyes he knew would make him feel better. Finding Draco's he felt his heart lift a bit. Draco smiled and waved at him. Harry waved back.

Ron was next and he was sorted into Gryffindor. The blood that had been on his face was gone. He smiled and sat down next to Hermione and what had to be some of his brothers sense they all had the same hair. He was supposed to be at that table. Not that rude red head and his girlfriend. He had let his dad and Sirius down. He had let Draco down. He had been so busy wallowing he never noticed Dumbledore stand up and give a speech. He looked down to see the table full of food, but he didn't feel like eating.

After a hour dinner was finally over. Harry just wanted to go to his room and curl into a ball on his bed. Standing up he moved to fallow the prefects but stopped when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Looking up he saw his dad. He blushed and looked back down. "I'm sorry dad."

James shook his head. "Don't be son. We've told you before and ill tell you again now, it doesn't matter what house your in." James put his arm around Harry's shoulder. "Now come on, we have a few things to talk about."

Harry's brow furrowed in confusion. Looking over he saw Sirius doing the same with Draco and Dumbledore was already leading Ron out of the hall. Great, just what I need on the first day of school. Detention.
