Nico is Voldemort's Half-Brother

Chap. 6 The Sorting

Harry's P.O.V

Ron, Hermione, and I made our way into the carriages. But I noticed the weird horses, they look practically dead!! " What are those??"; I said. "What are you looking at? There's nothing there" Ron said. "Are you okay?"Hermione asked.

"I can see them too"; a girl said, I think her name is Luna? Yeah, Luna. "They called thestrals" I heard a familiar voice call, it was Nico. "You only see them when you've seen death yourself" He added.

" Who did you see die, Nico?" Hermione asked. "Too many to count and I don't want to talk about it." "I'm sorry," Hermione said.

Oh. Now I felt almost guilty? for bullying Nico, but he's the brother of Voldemort so he HAS the be evil. "So what house do you think you're going to be in? "Hermione asked." Anything but Hufflepuff" Nico said. "Really? Don't think you're loyal enough?"I asked. "Not as loyal as my cousin" he responded.

We were silent the whole way to the castle, during that time I couldn't help but look every once in a while at Nico, there was something about him...

TIME SKIP IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY A PLASTIC HAIRBRUSH!!

"Di Angelo, Nico!" Professor McGonagall said.

Nico went up to the stool and the sorting hat was placed on his head.

Nico's POV

"Ah what do we have here?" the sorting hat said. I jumped, this hat talked?

"Yes, I can talk, now lower your mental barriers so that I can sort you," He said. "Bossy much?" I said to the hat. "Will you lower them or not?" he asked impatiently. "No, unless you want to go insane" I answered the question.

"Just let them down, it can't be that bad," he said. And he was extremely wrong. I lowered them. He started screaming at what he saw.

"AAAAHHHH" "HOW ARE YOU SANE ANYMORE?" "THERE'S SO MUCH DEATH IN YOUR LIFE"

Everyone looked frightened by what the hat said, even the teachers except for Sev, mostly because he knew about it.

"SLYTHERIN GET ME OFF OF HIS HEAD" the sorting hat screamed. McGonagall took the sorting hat off. I walked to the Slytherin table and sat next to Draco. He stared at me with his mouth hanging a bit. "You should close your mouth, you'll catch flies like that" I snickered. He shut his mouth.

I spaced out and I think Dumbledore and a pink toad gave a speech. Something about banned things, where we shouldn't go stuff like that. The toad's speech was a load of bullshit. I ate and there was a bit of small talk I joined in.

"How was your summer guys?" a girl asked. "It was okay not very eventful though," a guy said. "I spent time in my family's French home," Draco answered. "What about you Nico?" Draco asked. "I went all over America, Greece, Italy, China, Japan, and France," I answered him. They looked at me stunned.

"So what are your guy's names?" I asked. "Pansy Parkinson" the girl answered. "Blaise Zabini," the boy said.

When dinner was over he headed to the common rooms, ours was a dungeon. It was gloomy, just how I like it. Sec gave a speech and so did the prefects. And we all went to bed after that.

Unfortunately, I had a nightmare.
