Chapter 3

Sure enough they were at Hogwarts and waiting to hear what they have to do.

"Welcome to Hogwarts. Now, in a few minutes you will pass through these doors and join your classmates. But first you will be sorted into your houses. The sorting ceremony will be staring momentarily." McGonagall said and left.

"It's true then, the saying on the train. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts." someone said.

Everyone looked at him. They heard whispers about themselves, especially Harry.

"This is Crabbe and Goyle. I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy."

Ron snorted a little.

"Think my name's funny do you? No need to ask yours. Red hair and a handy down robe, you must be a Weasley."

Ron stared at him.

"You'll see how some families are better than others Potter. Don't want to make friends from the wrong sort, I can help you there." Malfoy said putting his hand out.

Harry looked at him.

"I think I can tell what's better myself thanks." Harry said.

He frowned and got tapped on the back by McGonagall.

"We're ready for you now, follow me." she said.

So they all followed her to the Great Hall.

"Will you wait along here please?" she said.

Everyone stopped and waited. Then Dumbledore stood up.

"The very best of evenings to you!... Now... to our new students, welcome, to our old students, welcome back! Another year full of magical education awaits you..." Dumbledore said.

"When I call your name you come put the sorting hat on your head and you will be sorted into your houses."

She opened her list and started. "Hermione Granger." She rushed over and put it on her head.

"Right then, hmm, right then. OK, GRYFFINDOR!" the hat said.

Everyone but Slytherin started clapping. "Draco Malfoy."

"SLYTHERIN!" he said barley putting it on his head.

"Susan Bones."

She slowly started walking to the hat and sat down.

"HUFFLEPUFF!" he said.

"Ronald Weasley." He looked nervous.

"Huh!" Ron gasped. "Another Weasley. I know just what to do with you, GRYFFINDOR!"

He sighed in relief and headed over to Fred. While the other three clapped for him.

"Harry Potter."

He heard whispers and saw Dumbledore lean over to him.

"Difficult, very difficult. Plenty of courage I see. Not a bad mind ither there's talent oh yes. And a thirst to prove yourself. But where to put you?"

"Not Slytherin, not Slytherin."

"Not Slytherin ah? Are you sure? You could be great you know. It's all here in your head and Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness there's no doubt about that. No? Well if you're sure, better be, GRYFFINDOR!"

After that everyone except the Slytherin's clapped hard. He went and sat down next to

While they ate Harry saw Professor Snape staring at him. He was familiar with that look so he used occlamency then felt something in his scar.

"Ouch!"

He put his hand on his scar and rubbed it for a second.

When it stopped Harry looked at Snape.

'Mum said I can trust him.'

When they were in bed Harry had a weird dream about someone familiar saying to go to Slytherin.
