DISLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY HARRY POTTER CHARACTERS!...Thank You, Now Let's Continue...
He had taken a cab on the way, and he was already at the appropriate destination. The only problem was he could not, to save his life, find platform 9 3/4.
"Where do you find platform 9 3/4?.." He had whispered to himself.
As he was observing quietly, he saw a big family going quite near a wall. The mother was planting kisses on what he had presumed her red-headed sons and a little girl was clutching on the mother's dress. After the mother and little girl were giving tearful goodbyes, one by one the boys ran towards the wall and disappeared.
"So that must be platform 9 3/4, I wonder what will happen when one does not run fast enough and a "muggle" saw them running towards the wall and disappear?.."
When he had finally decided that he should go towards the wall, he was grabbed by the mother he had seen earlier. He saw the little girl too since she was still clutching the dress of the mother.
"To Hogwarts, dear?"
"Yes ma'am"
"Then here you go then, run towards that wall and you will be in the express. Please do look after my sons, when you see them."
"Thank You ma'am"
Then he walked calmly towards the wall because if you run, you'll attract more attention right?
When he had finally found a available compartment, he had fixed his things and had sat down on a bench.
but then suddenly the door had opened, and a little red-headed boy (tall for his age) stepped inside
"Can I sit here? There's no more empty compartments, Thanks!" the boy said.
'You can sit here, but you may not' Harry thought
"Hey, my name's Ron what's yours?"
"It's Harry"
"THE Harry Potter? Can I see your scar?"
"No, you may not."
Awkward silence….
The door opened yet again, but this time a girl and a nervous looking boy stepped in.
"Have any of you seen Neville's toad? My name's Hermione, what are yours?"
"Nope, My name's Ron"
"No, it's Harry"
"THE Harry Potter?, I've read about all about you in…"
"You really shouldn't believe all the things books tell you, not all books are true."
This statement confused the girl because she was the kind of girl who believed that books are always right and authority figures are always right, always thinks of our welfare and we should always follow. With a flushed face, she asked…
"What do you mean?"
"An example of this is The Downfall of Dark Arts and Creatures. How could I possibly defeat Voldemort, save damsels in distress and get attacked by vampires at the same time but in different places, at the mere age of 6?"
"Um….uh…well.."
"See, you know I'm right."
Then the door opened yet again… This time it was a boy with pale blond hair.
"Hello, some said that Harry Potter was…wait… second hand robes, horrible red hair, a soggy sandwich in hand, you must be one of the Weasleys."
"Too pale blond hair, you must be one of the stupid Malfoys."
*cough*
The boy turned to Harry.
"Hello you must be Harry Potter, I'm Malfoy. Draco Malfoy. You really shouldn't interact with these kind of people, come with me and I'll show you who to socialize with."
Draco gave him a hand for him to shake, and Harry took it.
"Hello Draco, I'm Harry Potter. Would you like to come sit with me and have chocolate?"
"Uh…Okay…Sure!"
Then they sat on a bench together, Harry giving Draco a bar of chocolate.
"What kind of chocolate is this?"
"It's muggle, don't worry Draco it's delicious."
"But my father said…"
"It doesn't matter what your father said or think, what matters to me is what you think."
"…"
"Go on, Try it."
"Ok"
By then Ron had interrupted.
"Hey! Why's the stupid ferret sitting with us?"
"Because I want him to, If you don't want his company you may leave. Though even if you don't leave I'd still ignore you but I would much prefer that you do leave, so leave."
With a flushing, embarrassed and angry face, Ron turned around and left stomping.
"Hello Draco, My name's Hermione Granger and this is Neville Longbottom."
"Granger? Are you a mudblood?
"She's not a 'mudblood' Draco, she's a muggleborn witch."
"But my father said that purebloods are far more superior than mud-… sorry… muggleborns but you're okay because you have some pure blood within you, from your father's side."
"Well you know what I think? I think that it doesn't matter if we are pureblood or not. I've heard about powerful purebloods and muggleborns.
Suddenly…
"I-I ag-gree, I-it do-doesn't ma-matter i-if o-our b-blood i-is 'p-pure' o-or n-not be-because i-it's ju-just b-blood ri-right?"
...
They were suprised because throughout the entire conversation, Neville had not spoken once and it was pretty suprising to hear him agree and tell them about his opinions.
Harry smiled.
"That's right Neville."
Neville smiled back.
After a few minutes of giving their opinions, cheerful conversation followed.
"I think we should already change, we're almost at school."
Then Hermione left, giving the boys some privacy and also changing herself.
With that statement, the boys had changed quickly and in a few minutes Hermione came back dressed.
"Well that was short."
And all agreed with that statement.
Minutes pass by, and finally they could see a part of Hogwarts.
All were excited, may it be pureblood or muggleborn or even halfblood, all wanted to see Hogwarts.
They had stepped out of the train and were led to numerous carriages that was led by invisible entities.
Harry was staring at the invisible entities with a unreadable look on his face.
"Harry let's go!"
Draco had said, waiting for Harry with Hermione and Neville to go inside the carriage.
"Coming!"
And then Harry left.
They were dropped off yet again but this time they were led by a giant-like person to the boats.
"Yer firsties ride in the boats in four!"
Harry, Hermione, Neville and Draco rode in the same boat while the others were paired with people they hadn't known.
When they were riding, the Giant Guardian Squid came up and played with the newcomers.
Some of them sreamed in fright/suprise while the others had laughed at the ones who sreamed.
After a few minutes the Giant Squid had went down, back to his domain.
At that time they were already on land and was left by the giant-like person, who was called Hagrid, to someone who was stern and was wearing her hair in a bun.
"I am Proffesor McGonagall and I am your Transfiguration Professor. I will lead you to the Great Hall, where you will be sorted."
Whispers emerged as she had said this, whispers on how will they get sorted. One particular whisper had stood out.
"I heard from my brothers that we'll fight a mountain troll..."
"Oh please Ronald, who would let us, barely first years, fight a mountain troll?"
...
Most of the newcomers agreed with the girl and it was obvious who had lost in that conversation. With an embarassed face, Ron stayed silent fearing that the Proffesor who was leading them, would scold him for his outburst that would have happened if he had not stayed silent.
Draco had smirked a little because of the embarassment that Ron had been given by the talking down of Hermione.
Finally they were in the Great Hall and Dumbledore had started his speech.
"...The sorting may now commence! Minerva please do start."
"Abbott, Hannah!"
...
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
And so on and so forth.
"Granger, Hermione!"
...
"RAVENCLAW!"
She had timidly went to her house table and her fellow Ravenclaws had congatulated her and introduced themselves to her.
"Longbottom, Neville!"
...
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
Gaining a bit of confidence, he had strode calmly, albeit shyly, to his house table while his housemates had congartulated him and introduced themselves.
"Malfoy, Draco!"
...
"SLYTHERIN!"
All that were sorted in the House of Slytherin had cheered for they had gotten the Prince of the Pureblooded family, Malfoy.
"Potter, Harry!"
Whispers emerged as he calmly strode to the stool.
"THE Harry Potter?"
He seated on the stool and had put on the Hogwart's Hat, all were waiting eagerly for his house to be named. Though all of them knew that his house would be Gryffindor because his both of his parents had been in Gryffindor and surely the Savior is brave and has a heart of gold!
'Hello Harry'
'Hello'
'Hmmm...let us see... You have plenty of courage I see...and quite a large amount of loyalty to the ones who are important to you...you would like to search the truth...Aha! And a large thirst to prove yourself!... so what would it be?'
'Slytherin.'
'No that would not do, Gryff...'
'That was not a request, it was an order.'
...
'oh well...if you insist..'
'I do'
"SLYTHERIN!"
Silence followed...
and then CHAOS ensued...
Author's Notes:
well people, that was the first chapter and I hope you liked it.
I wanted to suprise my reader's starting with the title or summary and ending with where what I had considered the main characters were sorted.
At first It would seem because of the title and the summary that the plot would be very much obvious but because of how Harry and the others had acted and what house they were sorted, I wanted to show much the characters would have developed by changing some of the character's house into a house I thought that is much more fitting of their personality that I chose for them that is not very much far from their real personality.
Again, I hope you enjoyed it and please R&R!
-Peace Out~
