A Mother's Heart

They arrived to the school as the 2 looked out the window in awe. The castle was huge!

As the train stopped they got off and followed the other students. A huge man was yelling "f'rst ers! Over ere!" And "f'or to eh b'ot".

The 2 got onto a boat with a girl that had pale skin and black hair, and a boy with brown skin and short dark brown hair. Draco seemed to know them and they seemed to know draco. As the boats started to move draco introduced the 2 to him.

"This is pansy Parkinson, and Blaise zabini" draco said pointing at them.

"Pansy, Blaise, this is Hadrian Peverell" he said pointing at Harry.

"Its nice to meet you Peverell" pansy said as Blaise nodded to him. Harry smiled at them and nodded back.

Everyone stared ahead at the castle as it seemed to grow bigger. Harry felt a strong but comforting magic mix with his as if greeting him.

There was a screech from a few boats away. They looked over and saw Weasley pointing at the water as a creature swam by. Harry giggled at the sight of him and turned back to the castle.

The big man yelled out

"D'uck!" As a bridge came over there heads. Only the man had to duck though.

As they arrived on land they fallowed the man up to the doors. He had introduced himself as Hagrid. A woman came trotting over with a stern face. and she was introduced as professor McGonagall.

"You will be sorted into a house, your house will be like your family. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your house points, while any rule-breaking will lose house points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the House Cup, a great honour. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours."

She eyed everyone before continuing.

"There is Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Now you will fallow me in line to the front where you will wait for me to call your name." She then led them inside a bright people filled room. Everyone was sitting at a long table with different colored ties.

We stopped a few feet away from the table that all the teachers were at. A wooden stool was placed beside McGonagall and a old pointed hat was put on top. Then she opened a scroll.

"Hannah Abbott" the girl walked up to the chair and sat down and the hat was placed on her head. A few seconds later the hat spoke.

"Hufflepuff!" Everyone clapped but the loudest table was the one that she went to as her tie changed to yellow.

This went on as harry watched silently. He felt someone stareing at him the whole time, as he looked around his eyes met red eyes. At the teachers table a man with a weird bandage hat sat staring at him. As the teacher looked away his eyes turned brownish.

Harry raised a brow but looked back to the sorting as draco was called up.

"Slytherin!"

Draco gave a smug smile and looked over to harry his gave him a sweet smile. His smile dripped as his cheeks went red and he hurried to the Slytherin table.

This went on as people went to there house.

Soon a familiar name was called, Harry snickered a bit when the hall went silent.

"Harry Potter!"

Tension grew as everyone waited for the famous boy-who-lived to make his appearance.

But he never did.

"Harry potter!" McGonagall called again. People started whispering as there was no sign of him anywhere. Harry could see the old coot clutching the table as his eye twitched in anger.

McGonagall cleared her throat before calling his actual name.

"Hadrian Peverell!" Wispers erupted at the Slytherin table as he saw the same teachers eyes snapped red and looked over them. Harry shrugged it off and gracefully glided to the stool and sat down as graceful as he came.

As the hat was placed on his head he heard a voice erupt his thoughts.

"Well hello there Mr. Peverell, or should I say Mr. Potter?" The hat said.

Harry giggled a bit.

'I prefer to be called by my real name'

"Well then Mr. Peverell, let's see where I will put you."

"You have great courage, yes yes but that house of lions is far from good for you. They will only end up using you.. Kind hearted when needs to be but a devil at heart. Not Hufflepuff then.. hmmm what a hard decision. You seek knowledge, but you are also in need of a good family for you.. oh, oh dear what is this? Your mother and father were here now wernt they. No wonder your thirst for knowledge but your crippling cold blood. Let's see, yes yes...perfect. to fallow in your mother's footsteps what a sight that will be. Yes the house fits you perfectly! Might as well be...

SLYTHERIN!"

The Slytherin table went crazy as they all cheered. He saw from the teachers table that the red eyed professor was clapping for him with disbelief in his eyes and maybe a bit of hope. The Hufflepuff table and ravenclaw table clapped politely but the Gryffindors didn't even try.

As they hat was taken off his head he glided over and sat beside draco giving him a smile.
