Chapter three : Why me...

The locomotive came to a complete stop, as a very tall man walked by it. He would carry a lantern, while his booming voice carried to the back. "Firs' years. Firs' years over here." To which he kept walking, his voice growing louder. "Come on now, Firs' years, don't be shy. Come on now, hurry up." Inside the cabin, Ron would be packing his stuff up, mimicking Hermione. "Oculus Reparo." Ron mimicked, as they exited the compartment. Ron looked around, in awe of everything, as Y/N put his headphones on, and began walking, adjusting to his new robes, Hermione following behind shortly.

The trio then walked up to Hagrid, who greeted Harry. "Hullo Harry, Y/N" To which the latter was shocked that he knew his name. Ron was in awe of his height, and Hagrid began to speak very loudly, starling a few students. "Right then, This way to the boats! Come on now, follow me."

The trio and an extra would glide across the lake, as Y/N would take in the sight of the castle. He would be in shock as he slowly took his headphones off, and looked up at the castle

The trio would then go underneath the castle, and the crowd would clamber out onto the dirt, rocks and pebbles. Everyone would begin to climb the stairs, and eventually stop in front of a woman, who seemed a bit impatient. She had a stern face, which Y/N probably thought that he shouldn't get on her bad side. Y/n would be cracking a joke to Ron and Harry though, before she cleared her throat, and looked at everyone. "Welcome to Hogwarts. Now, in a few moments, you'll cross these doors and join your classmates, But before you can take your seats, you must be sorted into your house. The trio looked amongst themselves, to which Ron would nibble on his lip, Harry's lip would quiver, and Y/N would slowly blink, and nod.

They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw... and Slytherin." Y/N could tell that the last word was lace with a small hint of venom, as she scanned over the students with watchful eyes. An eggheaded boy with slicked back hair looked to what Y/N presumed were his two goons, and Y/N had a bad taste in his mouth. "Now when you're here, your house will be like your family." She continued. "Your triumphs will earn you house points. Any rule breaking, and you will lose house points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup-" McGonnagall was cut off boy a boy running over to a frog, picking it up. "Trevor!" The boy exclaimed, McGonnagall looking down at him.

Ron, Y/N and Harry smiled at him, as McGonnagall continued. "The sorting ceremony will begin momentarily." to which she walked off, inside the castle. "It's true then." The slicked back boy from earlier said, gaining everyones attention. "Y/N L/N and Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts, he says, with a devilish smirk on his face. The students began to chatter, to which Y/N closed his eyes and rubbed his ears with his knuckles, something he did when he was mad.  

"This is Crab, and Goyle." The boy motioned to his goons with his head, lurching forward. "And I'm Malfoy.. Draco Malfoy." he said, to which Ron snorted at his name. Draco whipped his head around towards Ron, and sneered a bit. "Think my name's funny do you? I've no need to ask yours. Red hair, and a hand me down robe? you must be a Weasely." to which Ron looked down, a bit sad.

See now, Y/N was a pretty chill guy. But one thing he didn't put up with, was when someone made his friends upset. Y/N put his hand on Draco's face, and began to squeeze it in his hand. "Hey, you mind apologizing to my friend here? You've made him mad, and that pissed me off." Y/N said, with a light smile, his eyes flickering between a deep red, and E/C. Malfoy tapped out, and wiped his nose, sneering at Y/N. "W-we'll soon find out that some wizarding families are better than others, Potter." he said, his nose trickling a small bit of blood, to which Y/N and ron stacked fists. (Like the handshake thing) "You don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there." To which Ron looked down again, and Y/N would cheer him up by letting him drink from his butterbeer flask.

Draco held his hand out, to which Harry looked down at. "I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself, thanks." To which McGonaggall appeared, tapping Draco on his shoulder, indicating that he should move. She watched him walk off, and looked up at everyone, ready to speak. "We're ready for you now. Follow me." as she turned on her heels, walking away.

Two grand doors opened out into a room with four tables, filled with many excited students. The would look up, and see the clouds, stars and moon. "It's not the real ceiling. Its just bewitched to look like the sky. I've read about it, In-" Y/N interrupted, smiling at her. "Hogwarts : A history, right?" To which Hermione smiled, nodding. McGonnagall stopped in front of a stool with a hat on it, and began to talk, while Y/N daydreamed, until Ron's name was called. He looked a bit nervous, until the sorting hat called out a house name. "GRYFFINDOR!" To which the table began clapping. Harry was up next, to which he saw dumbledore sit up a bit. The hat would converse with Harry for a bit, before yelling out the same as Ron. "GRYFFINDOR!" As the table exploding into claps and cheering, Y/N's name would be called up. He would sit down, the hat place on his head. "Ahh... My kind hasn't had one of you in a century... Your family was one f- no, the strongest I've come across. Seems you are not like them- no, maybe even the complete opposite. better be... GRYFFINDOR." The which Gryffindor exploded into cheering, overjoyed at having both celebrities.

Y/N actually fell asleep at the table, until he heard Hermione say something. "Nearly headless? How can you be nearly headless." To which Y/n closed his eyes, just from those words. He heard Ron yelp, and heard the swooshing of a ghost flying away. 

.

.

.

"Gryffindors this way." Percy said, talking about somthing that Y/n probably should have paid attention to. Y/N was in awe of the staircases. Y/N nudged Harry, and asked him for a favor. "Yo, can I lean on you for this? I'm gonna fall asleep, wake up up when we get to the dorms, yeah?"

.

.

.

Y/N would wake up in his bed, in the middle of the night, and sit next to Harry. "Can't sleep huh?" To which Harry would nod. Y/N would take his butterbeer flask, take a swig and offer it to Harry. Haryy would hesitantly take it, and drink a few gulps, and his eyelids would droop, and he would drag himself over to his bed. Y/N would take a few gulps, change into his sleepwear, and also go to sleep. "Night Harry. I'll see you in the morning." Harry nodded, smiling. "Night, Y/N"...
