Harry had slept well. He was about to turn over to see if Ron was awake when he opened his eyes. His usual crimson curtains were emerald green. He remembered. And groaned. If he wanted to catch Ron and Hermione in private before their first lesson, he would have to go now. Five minutes later, he was dressed and at the dining hall. Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle had still been asleep. Harry waited at the steps in front of the Gryffindoor common room. He didn't know the new password. After what seemed like a year to Harry (it was only 5 minutes) the portrait of the fat lady swung open and Ron climbed out.
``Harry! It's crazy isn't it? `` Ron greeted him.
``I know, yeah. Absolutely mental! `` Harry answered back. Ron started again ``I mean that is so amazing! I would do anything for that! `` Harry was now really confused? What was he talking about? Joining Slytherin? That was the opposite of amazing! Then Ron answered his question ``I mean Krum. Victor Krum. Actually sat on your table what, 3 seats down from you? I can't believe it! `` Ron was about to say more, probably asking if Harry had Krum's signature but Harry cut in `` Amazing? You call getting sorted into Slytherin amazing? I have to share a dorm with Malfoy! I can't even play quidditch! Even if I did try out, they'd never let me in! Yeah. Great. Thanks. `` Ron had now gone pale. ``Mate! I didn't mean it that way! Of course its rubbish that you've been resorted! I mean, why would the hat do that? I'm sure you could talk to Dumbl-`` ``Dumbledore won't do anything. I've already talked to Professor McGonagall! She told me just to go with it! Great friend I've got. Thinks of quidditch before his mate. `` Ron was shaking his head ``Honest Harry, I'm sorry! I just forgot! `` ``Forgot? Forgot that your friend isn't in the same house as you anymore? Oh yeah. You probably wouldn't want a friend who's in Slytherin. Well I'm sorry I wasted your time. `` Harry stormed off. He ignored Ron shouting for him to come back. He ignored the fact that he had Transfiguration next. He just needed some time to himself. He headed for the room of requirement.
