Chapter 1 Train ride and resorting

Author POV
Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat on the Hogwarts Train to their 7th year at Hogwarts. But Harry felt that something was off, something bad was about to happen at Hogwarts which he would not like at all.
It felt like something was reaching out to tell him that something bad was going to happen, but not to him. To someone else, that would effect him.

"Harry? Are you okay? You seem a bit distant, like you are about to faint?" Hermione's voice rang through his head like an echo. "W-what, oh, no I'm fine." He answered back. " I should head off, you two change we are going to arrive soon." Hermione took her bag and went to find Luna and Ginny. " Hey Harry, Ron!" Neville came in their compartment. "Neville!" Ron gave him a hug."

They changed into their robes, and started to get ready. " Have you guys heard the rumors?" Neville looked at them. "What rumors?" Harry looked back at him with a confused look. " Cho told me, Dean told her that, Malfoy was talking about, that everyone except prefects are going to get resorted. The ministry of magic decided since the war begun everyone's thoughts and minds have changed." Neville looked nervous.

"WhOt?!" Harry jolted up. " We can't I'll be sorted in Slytherin!!!" Harry was furious but Neville spoke, " Probably not, Luna told me Seamus told her that, Angelina told him, Pansy snickered about that the hat will also take in count you're previous house." Neville ran out of breath saying that last words.

"Blimey mate, how did we not know anything?" Ron asked. Before anyone could answer Hermione stormed in the compartment. "HARRY, RON, NEVILLE! Cho told me that, Dean-"
"That Malfoy- bla bla we know, Neville told us." Hermione nodded before sitting down.
"What if we get separated? That would be horrible! We can just hope for the best..." Hermione stopped as they heard the train go "toOt" signaling that they were at Hogwarts.

" I guess this is the moment of truth..." Ron said as they stepped off the train and onto a carriage pulled by thestrals. Ever since Sirius died, Hermione, Ron, Neville, Ginny, and Luna, could see the thestrals.

When they got there they got greeted by McGonagall. " Welcome everyone, this year will be quite different so at first prefects go in now at your tables to welcome you're students. First  years first, in line and seventh years lastly."

Everyone got in line quickly and then everyone headed towards the great hall. Dumbledore stood by the chair and spoke. " As I know rumors have spread about resorting, and I am afraid it's true." Whispering broke out, and our golden trio looked nervously at each other. " Now first years come up to the chair."

Harry, Ron, and Hermione watched everyone except 7th years get sorted. Many people stayed in their original house, but quite a few got sorted into unexpected house's. Quite a surprise when Lavender Brown was sorted in Hufflepuff.

"Ronald Weasley!" McGonagall said loud and clear. Ron walked nervously up and sat down, it went quiet for a moment, "Better be GRYFFINDOR!" A loud cheer from the Gryffindor table was heard.

A few names were sorted before it was Hermione's turn, luckily she was still Gryffindor.

Harry watched nervously as the line got smaller and smaller each minute.
" Harry Potter!" Harry gulped and walked over to the chair. Not long after he heard " better be... GRYFFINDOR!" He sighed out in relief and sat down with Ron and Hermione.

"For a second there I really thought I would be in Slytherin.." Harry sighed. A boy named Finn Igor was sorted from Hufflepuff to Ravenclaw, another boy named Jake Sidder was sorted from Slytherin to Ravenclaw until...

"Draco Malfoy!" Draco walked over to the chair, he was... nervous? Unlike in first year instead of confident, and ready to be in Slytherin he was nervous?

Draco sat down and the hat went silent, it thought for a moment...
" Better be... GRYFFINDOR!"
The whole hall went silent, Draco wasn't in shock as everyone else was, as if he knew that it would happen. Who knew? Draco Malfoy a Gryffindor?

Draco walked nervously down to the Gryffindor table sitting besides Dean Thomas. The rest of the sorting went rather quietly...
