Harry Potter [Reincarnation of Indra]

Sorting

As the Hogwarts Express pulled into the station, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and nervousness.  As I gathered my belongings and stepped off the train, with my new friends Draco Malfoy, Daphne Greengrass, and Tracey Davis. 

Together, we made our way to the boats that would take us across the Black Lake to the castle. I was exhausted from the long train journey, but I was determined to make a good impression on my new friends. I resisted the temptation to lean on Draco's shoulder as I was soooo tired, however I did  wanting to seem weak or needy or gay. I wouldn't say I am homophobic but I didn't encourage it even though the Wizengamot is heavily opposed to LBGTQ+.

As we boarded the boat, Draco and I ended up on one side while Daphne and Tracey sat on the other. We all looked out at the magnificent castle in front of us, marvelling at its grandeur and beauty.

'I can't believe we're finally here,' Daphne said, her eyes icy had disapeared and now they were wide with wonder.

'I know,' I replied, feeling a sense of belonging and excitement wash over me. This was the place my parents learnt magic. I would carry on the Potter legacy whatever it takes.

Draco smirked, his trademark expression, but I could tell he was also impressed by the sight. He may have a tough exterior, but I could sense he was just as excited as the rest of us.

As the boat glided across the lake, we could see the castle getting closer and closer. The moonlight shone on the water, creating a magical atmosphere. I couldn't believe this was my new home for the next seven years.

As we arrived at the shore, we were greeted by Hagrid, the gamekeeper, who led us up to the castle. The doors opened to reveal a grand entrance hall, with staircases leading off in all directions and a massive ceiling that seemed to go on forever.

We were shown to the Great Hall, where the Sorting Ceremony was about to begin. My nerves started to kick in again, but I looked over at my friends and felt a sense of calm. I hoped I would be placed in the prestigious house of Slytherin. It didn't bother me that dark wizards spawned from Slytherin. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer right?

As the sorting began, we cheered for each other as our names were called. TRACEY DAVIS. Her name was called loudly. I could see the nerves written all over her face. It was quite funny I suppose but I would not be laughing when my name was called out. It took around 15 second for the sorting hat to sort Tracey into a house before it yelled SLYTHERIN!! She skipped her way to the Slytherin table. That girl surely was in a world of her own.

DAPHNE GREENGRASS. Her ice cold persona had once again been added leaving her beautiful cute loving...... What the fuck am I thinking anyway she walked towards the hat elegantly. Wow, I am down bad this is not good :(  SLYTHERIN the hat shouted. 

A few other names rattled on and then it was Draco's turn. "Go on buddy." I said.

"Shut up!" he said I laughed as an aura of anxiety formed around the poor Malfoy. Lucious would have been so angry if Draco be placed in any other house apart from Slytherin but Draco Malfoy never disappoints. SLYTHERIN! shouted the hat.

Well then. I cannot be placed in any house other than Slytherin. This was not looking good. My parents were literally Gryffindor there is a small chance I get put in Slytherin. I am a Potter. The sorting hat will do what I ask. I will be placed in the house of Slytherin. I will be placed in the house of Slytherin. I will be placed in the house of Slytherin. I could have told myself a million times but my anxiety would only grow.

HARRY POTTER! Fuck it was my turn. I cautiously walked over to the sorting hat and I noticed everyone was quiet eyeballing me. I particularly noticed a old man with white hair. If I'm going to be honest when I first looked at him I thought he was a ghost. I sat down on the wooden chair. Seriously could they not have made the seat more comfortable. Professor McGonagall then placed the Sorting Hat on my head and the first thing I felt was. Tears? The sorting hat was crying. What?!?

Harry Potter, I am sorry for your experiences I hope the future lies bright for you.

HOUSE OF THE OTSUTSUKI!!!!!!!! shouted the hat.

"Huh!?!" Otsutsuki, that was what that guy said. What was his name Indra Otsutskui, I think that is it.

"THE HOUSE OF OTSUTSUKI IS THE OLDEST HOUSE, YOU WILL RESIDE IN THE PREFECT'S ROOMS." said the Hat

I was not in Slytherin. Nooooooooooo but then again I was incredibly excited about this "oldest house." After all that Indra guy helped me escape and slaughter the Dursley's it can't be that bad?

 Wait where in Merlin's beard am I supposed to sit. No way I was expected to stand, this day had been so long. Screw it I am sitting at the Slytherin table.

After all the student had been sorted. The plates and bowls on the tables were magically filled with a variety of dishes – from savoury soups to succulent roasts and creamy mashed potatoes. The students eagerly dug in, filling their plates with their favourite foods and passing dishes around to share with their friends.

I put any wondering thoughts out of my mind. I was going to enjoy the meal. I laughed as I already saw Draco with his plate full however the highlight of the feast was the desserts. The tables were overflowing with sugary treats – chocolate frogs, pumpkin pasties, treacle tarts, and many more. The students' eyes widened in delight as they piled their plates high with sweets.

As the feast continued, the enchanted ceiling changed to display a spectacular firework show. The students oohed and aahed as they watched the colourful explosions light up the sky.

Amidst the feasting and merriment, the students also enjoyed the company of their fellow wizards and witches. They chatted and laughed, catching up on the summer adventures and making plans for the upcoming school year.

As the feast came to an end, Professor Dumbledore stood up once again and raised his glass for a toast. "To another year at Hogwarts, may it be filled with magic, friendship, and learning," he proclaimed, and the students cheered in agreement.

As I made my way to one of the prefect's rooms I smiled at the large expanse of space I was looking at. I quickly spawned in a tv and the place was now known as home.
