"Why be good and be used when you can be bad all by yourself and rule the world?" -Hadrian Potter

Making our way inside the Great Hall and awaiting our turn to be sorted after the old hat had sang his song, I took the time waiting for my turn by looking at those around me and watching how they reacted. Like I thought Theodore and Daphne went to Slytherin, as they made their way toward their new House, they both locked eyes with mine and seemed to be looking for approval even if they didn't recognize it. Letting a smile overtake my face and allowing a nod of approval to show to them allowed for both to relax before they moved to sit and get to know their House members. The sorting passed fast mostly sticking to how it went on canon if you will, the only surprise being that of Neville Longbottom who went to Hufflepuff. If I can befriend him along with Blaise, I'll have both my right and left hands picked out and can train them alongside myself to be exactly what I need.

"Potter, Harry!" Ignoring the whispers and awed looks from those around me I confidently walked to sit atop the stool and allowing the Hat to be sat upon my head.

Interesting! I haven't seen a mind like yours in over fifty years!

If it's possible I'd rather be in Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw if you could Sorting Hat.

Hmm. Each house would be lucky to have you, but yes, I see. I know the perfect house for you Lord Potter...

"BETTER BE...HUFFLEPUFF!" The Sorting Hat shouted. Watching as the House of the Loyal and Hardworking stood up and starting clapping and shouting in excitement over my sorting.

"We didn't get Potter!" Shouted the Weasley twins in disappointment causing me to laugh slightly as I moved to sit by Neville giving the boy a smile before turning back to face the last of the sorting.

"Zabini, Blaise!"

"BETTER BE...HUFFLEPUFF!" The Sorting Hat Shouted surprising the Pure-blood children who knew him. I stood up and clapped for my future right hand, Neville stood up on my left joining me and welcoming him to our house. I tuned out Dumbledore's warning about the Third Floor Corridor focusing on eating my supper and listening to my new House mates. I spent the rest of the time getting closer to Blaise and Neville most of which was spent getting Neville to open to Blaise and me.
