'Hello'

'Well look who finally woke up'
'Welcome James, my name is Diane and Mr. Grumpy here is Harry'
'James? I like that.
Where are we? And why aren't we in the cupboard?'

Diane and Harry were taken back as they remembered the cupboard, where it was always dark and cold, where they were always afraid. This was the original, before she took over. Tears started to appear.

'James, how old are you?' 'I'm five'

Harry understood now, the kid needed to be protected. He may have come at a later date, but he knew.

The next day on the train, Diane explained everything to James. Harry found them a seat away from everyone. He hid the scar well and avoided everyone to make it to their destination. They past by a girl with brown bushy hair, a hungry redhead, some spoiled kids, and they made a delay to help a kid find his frog.

Raccoon was purring next to them, Hedwig was flying towards the school right now, and Gaby was with her eggs in the bushes next to the Dursley's neighborhood.

"Your in our cart," a snobby voice said as Harry looked at the boy. It was one of the spoiled brats from the station. "I was here first, go find another cart." Two bulky boys made their way through. Raccon started to hiss, but before anyone took another step. Harry  stood and took full-control as he released a bit of his aura, pushed the boys out of the cart, locked the door and went back to sitting down. Raccoon took back their place on his lap as he tried to calm down James, who was starting to freak out about the whole event. "How troublesome. Now I have to calm James down. Where is Diane when you need her?" Diane was in the mind scape, going over the notes they made. James was scared, but Harry was able to calm him down.

Draco Malfoy, a respected pure blood, while being from a well-known Death Eater family.
Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle, two of Draco's friends, while also being his body guards.
Pansy Parkinson is a well-known friend of Draco, along with Pike and Blaise Zabini.

Hogwarts appeared in the distance, as Harry started to gather their things. Including the new book they got for Diane based on mythological creatures. Once the train stopped, a giant-like man was shouting and directing everyone to boats, about 3 to 4 students went on them, but Harry waited until the last one to ride with three random people. He didn't in gauge in conversation as everyone was amazed with the view of the castle. Raccoon was in his lap as they journeyed across the lake, looking into the endless deep. A tall lady, dress in green with a strict face, met and lead them to a pair of huge doors that had stairs on each side. She presented herself as Professor McGonagall, professor of Transfiguration, Head of Gryffindor, and Deputy Headmistress. She also gave a brief description of the different houses, showing her most and lest favorable one obviously.

Everyone walked into the hall, Harry was in control as they gazed at the ceiling, over-hearing a girl say how it was transfigured or something to look like the night sky. They saw a hat on a stool in the front of the hall, where everyone was staring at the first-years. Each child was called upon, each going to the houses that was called out by the hat. Until I heard my name, my full given name.

"Harry James Potter"

—————————————————————^———————————————————————^——————————————————

The whole room went quiet as I made my way to the stool, sitting down as the hat was placed on the top of my head. "Well hello there. What do we have here?" As it may seen, we have an intruder in our mist. Who are you? And what do you want? The hat gave a surprised sound as he tried to look into the child/ren's memories, but he was only meet with a cupboard door that was filled with locks. I am only here to decide which house you best fit in with, and depending on the little information I've been, allowed, to see. You three seem best-fit for Slytherin. Okay, you gave us our house, now can you leave. Harry was trying to budge the hat out of their mind, as the hat yelled out their house name.

Everyone in the hall was silent as they stared at the boy, walking towards the most hated house in the school. A grey-tabby followed them as his housemates moved away from him.

Harry kept his head low, but not too low to make people assume he was disappointed. They listened to the rest of the ceremony, as they thought of their next plan.  Why is he staring at us? Didn't Gaby say we were some "Golden Boy" or something. Ugh, does that mean we were supposed to end up in the Lion's House. They seem like a bunch of arse holes. Harry! James is here, so cut back on the swearing. What's an "arse hole?" You can feel a, somewhat, annoyed aura come from the Slytherin table, as the Slytherins tried to back away from their new housemate.
