Wow! I can't believe the response i've gotten to this story already! Since people seem to like it, I have decided to continue writing and posting this story! Yay!
Also, I wanted to respond to some of my Reviewers!:
1 : I'm glad you like it! Harry Potter and Asperger's are two of my favorite topics as well! Yay!
sarahpotter42 : Hehe! You're funny! And thanks for the Review! I'm glad to hear you like the story! Also, thank you for saying you will read it no matter who I decide to pair Harry with! It's hard cause I know I will probably lose some readers if I go Yaio, but I don't know who I will pair him with yet! We shall see! :)
Kyandua : Cool! I'm glad someone else with Asperger's thinks I am doing it justice! It's so hard to explain what is going on in my head and I hope I'm not confusing people when I write about Harry's Asperger's. As a girl with Asperger's myself, I know I have more insight into Autism, but it is so different for everyone. I am writing Harry more closely to what I experience, feel, and think. Hope that makes sense! Thanks for the Review! :)
LimpCurve : They ARE smart asses. For me, I don't always understand sarcasm or know when to use it correctly. I've can't even tell you how many times i've been called a smart ass. So that is how i'm going to write Harry. Draco is...well Draco! lol Thanks for the Review! :)
Chipseet : Aww! Thanks! Glad you like it! Thanks for the Review! :)
WhiteWolve : Thank you so much! I do so love a story with Harry/Draco, but i'm not sure what direction i'm going to go in. Draco is definitely still in the running though! :) I still don't know how i'm going to write Snape...any suggestions will be taken into consideration though! :) Thanks for the Review!
icyquest4 : I'm glad! Thanks for the Review! :)

Chapter 3
A huge castle loomed in the distance. Harry thought it looked every bit like it belonged in a magical world. Draco was watching Harry look around with amusement.
After a short boat ride, the entire group of new First Years was trudging their way up to the massive castle. Harry didn't mind the walk. He actually quite like hiking in the past. What he didn't care for was the massive amount of kids crowded around him. They were all excitedly talking to their friends, both new and old, and the noise of the conversations made Harry's skin crawl. He hated loud people.
'Smart move going to a school for thousands of kids then, genius!' Harry thought to himself grumpily. His mood was steadily getting worse the longer he was in that horrid crowd.
Not a moment to soon, they arrived at the castle and were quickly hustled inside and up some stairs to the biggest set of double doors Harry had ever seen.
"Why is everything a few sizes to big here?" Harry snarked quietly, earning a snicker from Draco and Draco watched the half giant talk to a Professor.
"I have no idea. I'll have to ask Father that." Draco smiled. Harry looked up at the other boy. One the train, Harry had failed to notice that Draco was a good few inches taller than he was. Harry sulked childishly at this discovery and Draco shot him a weird look when he noticed Harry's pout. Both boys turned quickly back to the Professor as she explained about the four houses and the sorting. Harry rolled his eyes and tuned her out. He had read about all of this already.
"You're Harry Potter aren't you!" Harry's eyes snapped around to find the ginger haired boy from the train looking at him excitedly.
"Yes, I am. Do you need something?" Harry asked irritably. The boy was once again almost vibrating as he stood there. If there was one type of person that Harry really didn't like, it was the hyper loud kids. He gritted his teeth and prayed the Professor would return soon so the boy would be unable to bug him.
"Can I see it?! The…scar." Hyper Ginger, as Harry had taken to calling him in his head, whispered the last of the sentence as if the rest of the kids weren't already listening closely.
"Well technically, yes. You do have the ability to see it. However, you may not see it at this time. I am kind of busy with a school orientation right now and do not wish to ostracize myself further by becoming a walking show-and-tell object."
Harry internally winced at his own words. They weren't very nice, but then again it was really very rude to just ask to see someone's scar. It was a personal thing.
The boy's jaw dropped open as several kids in the gathered crowd snickered quietly at Harry response, including Draco.
"Do shut your mouth Weasly. Gaping like that is quite unbecoming. You wouldn't want to do anymore damage to that so called family name of yours would you?" Draco stepped up beside Harry.
Weasly, as Draco had called the Hyper Ginger, snapped his mouth shut, his face turning a brilliant shade of red.
"Sod off, Malfoy! I was talking to Harry!" Weasly screamed. Harry cringed at the boys shrill voice and fought the urge to cover his ears with his hands. It would help nothing if the others thought he was some weird freak before the first day of school even started.
"Quite obviously, Harry does not wish to speak to you, Weasel. So I suggest you run off back to you little friends over there and leave us in peace." Draco sneered at the boy's beet red face before looking back up to the front doors. Harry leaned forward to see what had caught Draco's attention, only to be caught in a stern glare from the Professor who had been speaking to them earlier.
"You will be sorted now." She announced after an awkward silence
The doors swung open slowly and the children began to funnel through. As they walked, Harry looked around the room, his eyes catching on the ceiling for a short moment before he began to survey the other people in the room. Behind him, Harry could hear a girl spouting fact after fact to everyone around her about the ceiling, the candles, the hat, and much more.
'She's annoying. What a bookworm. She's obnoxious with her knowledge.' Harry thought to himself.
As they stopped at the front of the room, Harry took another deep breath and took a step closer to Draco, as if to hide from the other people in the room. Harry decided to get a look at the other Professors while the other kids were sorted since his name would be closer to the end.
As soon as Harry raised his eyes to the long table at the head of the room, he was surprised to see a pair of black eyes watching him closely. Harry quickly looked away from the eyes, uncomfortable with the eye contact. Harry looked down at the ground, changing his mind about looking at the teachers. He didn't want to have to make eye contact with anyone if he could help it. Looking at someone's eyes made Harry's mind go fuzzy and he felt like they could see into his soul. It was uncomfortable and he hated it.
"Keep your head up, Harry. Slytherin are proud and hold their head high." Draco whispered to him quietly as his name was called.
Harry watched in fascination as the hat call out "SLYTHERIN!" after hardly touching Draco's head. Draco smirked triumphantly, making his way over to his new table. As the ceremony moved on, harry began to fidget at being alone in the crowd. There was something comforting about Draco's presence. The knowledge that he had a friend on his side.
"Harry Potter!" Harry pulled himself out of his thoughts, lifted his head, and slowly made his was to the front of the room.
Yay! Another chapter done! Hope you didn't hate it!
