Chapter 20: the arrival and the answer
Harry and Ron were sitting in the cabin on the way to Hogwarts they were talking about magic and how cool it was. Ron couldn't believe that Harry was Professor Snape's son.
"so you are Snape's son!....that is wicked cool" Ron said
"yup it is and he's going to be the teacher at Hogwarts and he's going to be my potions teacher." Harry said smiling he was excited to hear that his own father was going to be his potions teacher.
"also he's head of Slytherin house too!" Ron added that little information.
"oh yeah I know." Harry was still a little stressed because if he was in Gryffindor he doesn't want to disappoint his dad or his mum.
"I heard your mum was in Gryffindor? You must be stressed to see what house your going to be placed at." Ron said
"ANYTHING FROM THE TROLLEY! ANYTHING FROM THE TROLLEY? Anything from the trolley dears?" the lady asked as she was walking past there cabin.
"no-no I'm good." Pulling out his lump of food.
"I'll take a whole lot." Harry said. getting out a handful of gold.
"wow!" Ron was amazed of how much money Harry has.
A girl with long dark brown hair came passing by their cabin. Something caught her eye's
"hello…I see you were doing some magic? May I watch?" she asked.
"alright." Harry answered. His wand was out. And so was Ron's.
"well….lets see then." The girl said.
"um…turn this fat rat yellow." Ron said finishing his charm on his rat.
"are you sure that's a real spell." The girl asked
"no- my brother taught me. And what is your name?" Ron asked putting his wand away. The girl came in and sat next to Harry.
"well…if you must know my name is Hermione Granger. And you must be Harry Snape! Everyone knows about you! And you must be…." Hermione asked Ron.
"my names Ron Weasley" he answered.
"oh how….cool." Hermione was a little grossed out for some reason.
Severus came by to see how his son was doing.
"hia dad!" Harry said looking up at him.
"you meet some friends I see?" Severus said looking at Hermione and Ron.
"uh yeah dad I did." Harry answered
"you should be getting your Robes on soon we are almost there." Severus said
"okay I will." Harry said
"see you at school you three." Severus said. and walked away.
"okay." All three said.
Harry got out his robe and put it on so did Hermione and Ron.
"your dad is a little creepy" Ron whispered to Harry
"once you get to know him he is really cool." Harry said. the train stopped and every one was getting off.
A giant came in getting all the first years together.
"a'right first years o'er here!" Hagrid said.
"follow me!" all the first years followed Hagrid.
A hour or so later Harry Ron and Hermione was in the castle sitting at the table.
"SILANCE!" a man with a tall white beard said.
"welcome! To another year of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. It is now time for the first years to be placed in there houses. And the sorting hat will be happy to do that!." Dumbledore said.
he grabbed a roll of parchment and read out four names.
"Hermione Granger!" he read. Hermione was really nervous and came walking down the walk way and sat on a stool, Dumbledore put the hat on.
"GRYFINDORE!!!!" the hat said and Hermione went over to the Gryffindor table.
"Ronald Weasley!" Dumbledore said. Ron was terrified and came walking up the walkway and sat on the stool.
"GRYFFINDORE!" the hat yelled out and Ron was relieved and sat next to Hermione.
"HARRY SNAPE!" Dumbledore read and every one gasped and knew that Harry was Professor Snape's son.
"I wonder what he what house he will go" a young wizard whispered.
"ah Mr. Snape. Were to put you. Your mother was in Gryffindor and your father Slytherin….." it took a few minutes for the sorting hat to decide.
Severus was leaning over watching impatiently.
"you will do well in Gryffindor and Slytherin…..my final decision is……..SLYTHERIN!!!!!!!!!" all the Slytherin's yelled and shouted for joy and went over to the Slytherin table and sat next to a pale white boy with beach blonde hair.
"you must be Professor Snape's son. Harry right?" the boy next to him asked.
"yeah I am and you are?" Harry asked looking over to Hermione and Ron.
"Draco… Draco Malfoy." He held out his hand and Harry grabbed it shaking it.
"we can be friends Snape. My father is best friends with your father. If I must say so my self." Draco said
" oh your Lucius and Narcissa's son!" Harry said.
"your right Snape." Draco said.
"now before we eat we have a new potions teacher Professor Severus Snape. Make him feel welcome he has been here for a long time." Dumbledore said.
"now you can eat!" Dumbledore announced.
Harry wished that he was in Gryffindor now because he had meet some friends didn't really like Draco that much but he's got to learn how to deal with the other Slytherin's. he ate and listened to Draco talk and looked over his shoulder and looked at his father.
Severus nodded and smiled to his son. Harry knew he was happy that his own son was following his footsteps. Although inside he wasn't happy with the results now he wants to be with Ron and Hermione. But how?
