Salam read through his course books for the third time. "These bloody books are far too easy! I swear that the first year is made to help those Mudbloods"

Salam set down his DADA book and went to the owlery. Hedwig was happy to see Salam walk in with owl treats for her. Hedwig went to rest on Salam's shoulder and nibbling the treats from Salam's hand. "Hey girl, ready to go to Hogwarts in a few days? Father is a little pissed that we're leaving and won't be back home until Christmas. But, for some odd reason, Draco can't wait to go, that idiot."

Salam left the owlery, but Hedwig went to the manor with him. Hedwig was perched near the window in the library. Voldemort looked at the white owl when she flew in. He knew that Salam loved that owl, but why does this bloody owl like to be near him? Voldemort growled in frustration, his son was leaving for Hogwarts in only three days. He was worried that Salam would be taken away from him by Dumbledore.

Tom just leaned back in his chair, Gods he needs to plan a raid to get away from this paperwork. Salam was staring at his frustrated father from the doors. Salam cocked his head to the side, like an innocent child, wondering what his father was planning. "Salam what are you up too?"

"Nothing, I was just going to see if I could go to the Malfoy Manor to spend time with Draco." Tom rumbled his temples trying to get rid of a headache.

"Salam, you are going to Hogwarts with Draco. I want you to stay home and spend some time with me before you go off to that old coot." Salam laughed a little.

"You keep calling Dumbledore names, but you probably never say then to his face." Salam went to his father and sat on his lap, "you need a new hobby. I think 'Trying to ruin Dumbledore's pride' is not working, when you just hurt his pride in front of your deatheaters."

"Maybe, you should stop using your cheek. Before I descide to slap it out of you."

XOXOXOXO

The day, that Tom has feared has arrived. Salam is off to Hogwarts today. Salam and Tom are walking through King's Cross to Platform 9 3/4. "Bloody muggles, don't they have something better to do then stare at other people." Salam muttered.

"Just ingore them, son."

Salam was about to respond with a cheeky comment until he saw a group of redheads approch the wall. "Bloody hell, its the herd of Weasleys."

"Salam, just pretend to be polite to them." Tom whispered into his son's ear.

Molly Weasley came up and looked at Tom and Salam, "hello, going to the platform as well? Would you like to go through first?"

Tom smiled, "yes, and thank you for letting us go first." Tom guided Salam through the wall and there right at the platform was the Hogwarts Express.

Tom pulled Salam into a short hug, "be careful Salam. I want to stay away from Dumbledore and try not to harass Severus too much."

"Dad, its Severus, I have to harass him. I'll be fine with Dray there and I have Hedwig, who'll sent my letters to you. Bye dad."

"Bye Salam" Salam boarded the train and went searching for his cousin. Finally he found Draco, sitting with some of his friends. "Hey cousin, it took me awhile to find you."

Draco flashed a smile to Salam, "sorry, but I wanted to stay far away from the Mudbloods and Gryffindorks."

"Alright, I'll forgive you this time." Salam sat next to Draco. On Draco's other side was Blaise Zabini. Sitting across from them were Crabbe, Goyle, and Pansy Parkinson.

The train ride was boring in Salam's eyes. He just read his book, while Draco and Blaise were talking about Quidditch, Pansy was staring at Draco with loving eyes, and Crabbe and Goyle were stuffing their faces with food from the trolley.

They finally arrived at Hogsmeade. When all six of them got off they heard, 'First 'ears, ov'r 'ere' Salam sneered a little.

"What's wrong cousin?" Draco heard his cousin sneer.

"It's that bloody giant, Hagrid, that father told me about. He's one of Dumbledork's followers and he hates my father's guts, for getting him expelled from Hogwarts."

"I can't believe that Uncle Tom did that. Well you're doomed since first and second years now have to take ComC."

"Dray, don't remind me. That bloody giant better not try to do anything or else." Salam was showing his hatred through his bright emerald eyes. Draco grabbed his cousin's arm to calm him down. Salam did calm down, once they were in the boat with Blaise and Pansy.

"First 'ears, this is Professor McGonagall, she's your Transfiguration teacher and head of Gryffindor House," Hagrid said proudly before leaving.

"Hello, as Hagrid said, I'm Professor MacGonagall. You will follow me to be sorted into your right house. The four houses are; Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin.

McGonagall had the students follow her into the Great Hall. It was a huge room, filled with a candle lit sky, it had a table for each house and a head table for the teachers. At the front of the room, there was a stool with an old hat. The hat started to sing,

"Oh, you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers back,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you Where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dewell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry Set Gryffindor apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin You'll make your reall friends,
Those cunning folk use any means To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in the flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!"

Everyone burst into applause as the hat finished. Salam and Draco rolled their eyes. Some of the first years were staring in awe at the hat. Professor McGonagall started to read off a scroll, "Abbott, Hannah!"

The hat shouted, "Hufflepuff!"

Bones, Susan, "Hufflepuff!"

Boot, Terry, "Ravenclaw!"

Brocklehurst, Mandy, "Ravenclaw!"

Brown, Lavender, "Gryffindor!"

Bulstrode, Millicent, "Slytherin!"

Finch-Fletchley, Justin, "Hufflepuff!"

Finnigan, Seamus, "Gryffindor!"

Granger, Herminone... Salam remembered the girl at Madam Mulkins and watched as she was being sorted, "Gryffindor!"

Longbottom, Neville, "Gryffindor!"

Malfoy, Draco, Salam watched as his cousin was being sorted and the hat shouted, "Slytherin!"

A few more people later, they heard McGonagall say, "Potter, Evan!" Evan Potter had his mother's red hair and his father's hazel eyes. They students, even the teachers, were looking to see where the Potter would be placed. Then the hat shouted, "Gryffindor!"

The Gryffindor table started cheering really loudly and Emily Potter got up and hugged her younger brother, she was also in Gryffindor.

Then Salam heard, "Riddle, Salam"

Salam went up to the stool and had the hat placed on his head. 'So Heir of Slytherin, I finally get to meet you. Lets see where you belong... Very smart, like your mother, a Ravenclaw she was. But, you are very cunning and ambitious, like your father, a true Slytherin he was. But, I see a lot of bravery, but something is telling me that you'll hex me if I put you in either Hufflepuff or Gryffindor... you belong in...'

"Slytherin!"

Draco was cheering along with the rest of Slytherin Table, Salam ran over to his cousin and Draco hugged Salam, "see you're in Slytherin. The hat must of thought you were too evil for Ravenclaw." Draco and Salam sat down and laughed at the comment.

The sorting ended with Blaise being put in Slytherin. Dumbledore rose and started his welcome speech, "Welcome, to another year at Hogwarts!" After a short speech, they began eating dinner. After about 30 minutes, they food disappeared and Dumbledore started to talk about the rules. "Students, remember that the Forbidden Forest is forbidden. This year the thrird floor if forbidden unless you want to die a slow painful death. Thank you and off to bed everyone."

The first Slytherins, after the feast, followed fifth year prefect, Marcus Flint, to their common room. "This password is 'Pureblood', remember it." The Slytherin was lit dimly and had the house colors of silver, black, and green everywhere. There were three dark green couches, five black arm chairs and bookcases as the walls. "Now, the room will be set up as three boys to one room, same with girls. Now pick your roommates carefully."

Blaise, Draco, and Salam agreed to share a room. They were put in the first room on the right and started to unpack. They got ready for bed and now they were talking about their classes. Until Severus came into the room, "Salam, Draco, I'm proud that you both are in Slytherin. I will be senting both of your fathers letters about how proud they should be."

"Thanks Uncle Severus, tell father and uncle that Draco and I will be sending them a letter soon."

"Alright, now off to bed, all of you. You have class in the morning!" Severus left the room.

"'Night Salam." Draco pulled the covers over him.

"Good night Dray." Salam turned off the lights and the three boys fell asleep. Happily waiting for their first day at Hogwarts.
