Harry Potter VoF3
AN/: I have altered the first two chapters so I suggest going back and rereading those. Unless your reading this story for the first time then disregard this part otherwise
Tomorrow was the day. The day that Harry was both looking forward to and dreading. Tomorrow was September First. Harry's worries again went running through his head. What if he wasn't good enough? What if he failed out after the first few weeks? What if heaven forbid he were to be sorted into Slytherin? Harry had talked with Sirius about his worries. And Sirius had repeatedly blew them off. He assured Harry that he was good enough for Hogwarts and said that the only class he would probably fail was History of Magic and that was only if Harry fell asleep while the professor was teaching, which according to Sirius was very likely to happen at least once in Harry's Hogwarts career. Unable to fall asleep Harry went over to his trunk and immediately started making sure he had everything that he needed packed. It was. The only thing left to pack was Hedwig's cage. Hedwig was a gift from the Hogwarts gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid who had been Harry's friend since he was little. Hedwig, who was Harry's first owl, was snowy white and as far as Harry was concerned the most beautiful owl that ever existed. Harry was sure that Hedwig was a lot smarter than Sirius's tawny owl Scrapper. Returning to his bed Harry removed his glasses and settled down to try and go to sleep. Eventually Harry did fall asleep but it wasn't till far after midnight after he seen that Hedwig had returned from hunting.
The next day Harry did not want to get up. He refused to budge when Tamara and Sarah both tried to wake him up. It wasn't till Sirius had gone upstairs and fulfilled Tamara's last threatening attempt did Harry get up and head down stairs for breakfast. Rubbing his left buttocks Harry gingerly sat down at the table and ate what little he could. His stomach was doing summersaults. Finnayl it was time to head for the Kings Cross and Platfrom 9 ¾. Opting to just apparate Sirius shrunk Harry's trunk and empty owl cage. Sirisu told Hedwig to go to Hogwarts and that Harry would meet her there.
Apparating to the Station, Sirius led Harry through the gate at 10:30. While Tamara and Sarah followed right behind them. While Sirius unshrunck and stowed Harry's luggage Harry was saying his good byes to both Sarah and Tamara when the weasely's came through…or at least a few of them anyway. Harry smiled and waved at Mr. Weasley, Ginny, Noah and Jonathan.
"HEY! We are over here!" Harry yelled waving. When suddenly he was tackled by a red blur. Looking up he saw and felt Ginny hugging him tightly. Confused Harry patted her back before she let him resume standing.
"Sorry" Ginny blushed as Jonathan and Noah approached.
"looks like Ginnys gonna miss you Harry. Though I don't kow if she's gonna miss you as much as Noah will miss me. Hopefully we'll both be Gryfs eh?" Jonathan said a smile on his face as both Ginny and Noah slapped his arms.
"Stuff it Prat" They both said simultaneously in one of those twins things.
"Where's Ron?" Harry asked.
"Ron is still packing like every other member of the Burrow. I packed last night at Noah's urging." Jonathan replied casually. " Well im going to find a compartment on the train. I think Ill liberate the last compartment from whoever in there." Giving Noah a tight hug and Ginny a quick one Jonathan strolled over to the train and loaded his truck and pulled a small bag out of it before boarding the train. About 25 minutes later the rest of the Weaselys came rushing through the barrier. Quickly saying their goodbyes and boarded the train. Once it was underway Harry and Ron Joined Jonathan in the last compartment on the train. Ron and Harry sat on one end because Jonathan was laying in the other side thoroughly enraptured in a muggle book. Harry and Ron Began to play Exploding Snap and Wizard's Chess. Lucky for Harry he won all of the games of Exploding snap but sadly he lost every game of Chess. Eventually the door was yanked open to reveal a pale blonde boy flanked by two boys who looked like they belonged in a zoo then on a train heading to a school of magic.
"So you're the famous Harry Potter. Why are you back her hanging with this filth? A blood traitor? And who are you? " The blonde boy asked Jonathan.
"Usually when you ask someone's name it is proper to give your own first. But ill overlook your rudeness. I am Jonathan Aero. Adopted son of Lord Gaya and Lady Udine. I was raised by the Weaselys. After Gaya and Udine passed away."
The blonde boy glared evily at Jonathan who looked over and met his eyes. Jonathan gave the blonde boy a look that caused the boy to recoil.
"I am Draco Malfoy. This is Crabbe and Goyle. As I was saying before I was rudly interrupted," He glared at Jonathan again whose mouth was moving but no sound was coming out. "Anway from what that piece of filth said you must be a Weasley, red hair, secondhand clothes. Defiantly a Weasley. Though if you said you were raised by the Weasleys why arnt you in second hand things?"
"I have a trust vault with around a million galleons in it. But who cares about money anyway. Now please leave. You've ruined my mood and I'm tired of hearing you waste air."
"Fine then. Harry Potter. Why don't you come with me? I'll show you who you should be friends with." Malfoy said and evil smirk on his face as he held out his hand.
"No thanks. I'm sure I can pick my own friends just fine."
Malfoy immediately glared at Harry and said while drawing his wand. "So you choose a bunch of whores like the Weasleys over me? Fine then. Ill curse you where you stand. Now sadly for Malfoy he was standing in the hallway and his wand was halfway in the compartment door. And he made a huge mistake in insulting the Weasleys. Jonathan didn't want to admit it since he lived with the weasleys but he loved Noah morfe then a sister and hearing her being insulted like that set him off. Without drawing his wand Jonathan looked at the door and then moved his eyes over to the door frame. The door instantly slammed shut breaking Malfoys wand in the process. MAlfoy attempted to open the compartment door but he couldn't.
"You know that he is going to tell a teacher right Jonathan?" Ron asked.
"Let him. I did nothing wrong. The dorr just slammed shut on its own and he was the one pointing his wand at us.
No one bothered them the rest of the trip due to the fact that the door wouldn't open for anyone but the sweets vender.
Finnaly the train pulled in to Hogsmeand Station ad the students started unloading the train. Harry, Ron, and Jonathan traveled across the black lake in a boat. Upon arriving in the castle they were made to wait in a side room until Professor McGonagall came to fetch them. She led then up the aisle between the table to a stool with a faded hat on top. The bottom rip split open and the hat burst into song:
Hello one, Hello all
It's time to begin another year
As is my job once a year I shall divide you
You will be place in one of the four houses you see around you
Will you go to Noble Gryffindor where dwell the brave at heart
Those who lie within are never short of courage and always shall they stay together
Or will you go to crafty Slytherin where the cunning find a den
Here you will cultivate friendships that will most benefit you.
There is Loyal Hufflepuff where most will feel at home
Inside her walls you will never feel alone;
Lastly is fair Ravenclaw where the smart and wise reside
Here you shall know that your grades are O's to be;
So where shall you be the Lion or the Snake?
The Badger or the Raven?
Just plop on down on my stool for you see;
All is written in your head and I shall sort you right
So plop me right on your head and let this new sorting ceremony begin.
After the sorting hat ended its song it fell still and Professor McGonagall started calling names in alphabetical order. Harry only partially listened. He heard his friends names but that was it.
"Aero, Jonathan"
Jonathan walked up and he hat was set upon his head. Suddenly it yelled out, "Headmaster!" Albus walked over and placed the hat upon his own head and it seemed as if it was talking. Finnaly the hat yelled out. "Jonathan Aero shall stay with the Gryffindors." Time passed until Harry heard his own name called and walked up to the stooland sat down.
"Ahh., Interesting. Intesting. Where to put you. You would do well in Slytherin but you would also do well in Gryffindor."
"Not Slytherin" Harry pleaded with the hat.
"Then it must be..." The hat yelled.
