Harry Potter and the life he didn't need.

Start of the year

When I woke up I could tell it was probably one of if not the best sleep I've ever had in my life.

When I woke professor McGonagall said that the start of the term was today and that they had gotten me everything I would need for the year and that I didn't need to worry about it and that when the first years come in I can just join them.

So as I waited for the afternoon when I finally got to join school I wandered down to the dungeons. I obviously didn't know they were the dungeons at the time.

When I finally realised I turned around and left abruptly and went to the lake I remembered seeing as there was no way I wanted to go in the dungeons after some of the conversations I over heard in the wing when I was pretending to sleep and the professors thought I was sleeping.

The conversation where about how this teacher called Snape I think it is lives in the dungeons and absolutely hates me and is going to make my life shit.

I mean what've I done to him. Let me tell you NOTHING. That's what I've done.

When I got to the lake I sat down with the waves gently licking at my feet. I started to think about what house I was going to be in I think the house were Slytherin Ravenclaw and I can't remember the rest never mind I think one was about a griffin and the other was about a badger.

I think I want to be with the snakes if I'm honest they sound really cool and like they stick with each over which I think I need someone who will stick with me.

I need someone who won't leave me like everyone else in my life.

"Mr potter the first years are about to come In if you please follow me and join them" McGonagall said from behind me so I stood up and followed her.

I joined the first years as they walked in to the main stair case and no one noticed which was great.

"Hey look who it is it's true what they said in the train Mr potter has come to Hogwarts"
A voice said from next to me. I turned round and looked at them.

They were blonde with their hair slicked back with lots of jell they looked kinda snobbish and they were slightly taller than me.

"My names Malfoy, Draco Malfoy" the boy said
"Hi.. I'm potter, Harry Potter" I said back
He stuck his hand out and I flinched slightly "would you like to be friends potter" Draco asked. Just as I was about to respond a ginger kid comes up to us.

"I think Harry here should make friends from people who aren't slimy little snakes that are from a house he will never be in" the boy said
Draco looked him up and down and then spoke "red hair and a hand me down robe you must be a Weasley"

I decided I should probably speak before they fight "I think Weasley that I can be friends with whom ever I want and so Draco yes I did want to be friends but please call me Harry; potter isn't that good a name is it"

Draco just nodded then  spoke saying that they were ready for us to get sorted now.

As we walked in it looked awesome candles everywhere and ceiling which had obviously been bewitched to replicate the weather outside.

As we got to the front the hat sang to us.

Oh you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.

You can keep your black,
Your sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.

There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.

You might belong in ,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;

You might belong in ,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;

Or yet in wise old ,
if you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;

Or perhaps in
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folks use any means
To achieve their ends.

So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!"

after it stopped singing everyone burst in to applause. I on the other hand I was recovering from the extremely loud outburst. McGonagall then started to call out names I wasn't paying very much attention to who she was calling out until I heard a name I knew and had come to not like "Ronald Weasley" she spoke he walked up to the stool all cocky.

He got up to the hat and it shouted GRYFFINDOR. Ron then walked away to the table full of red ties and with lion crests. The next name McGonagall shouted was "Draco Malfoy" he walked up confident he sat down and before Minnie could put the hat on his head it shouted Slytherin she called out a few more names then it was called my name "Harry Potter" I slowly walked up to the stool and started plying with my sleeve out of nerves then I started overthinking what if I don't get sorted would they send me home can you even not be sorted is there a place for messed up people like me.

As I sat down the hat started talking to me in my head. 'don't worry child you will be sorted there is always a place at Hogwarts for witches and wizards I can see that you have come from a troubled place but you are very brave cunning you would do well in Gryffindor but where should I put you I know'

"SLYTHERIN"

As I started to get off the stool everyone started whispering I could hear a little bit of what they were saying they said things like 'the chosen one in Slytherin' or 'a potter in Slytherin what a traitor his parents are probably hating him in heaven' Not gonna lie that one really hurt. I went over to were Draco was waving. As I looked at the teachers table Dumbledore looked like he wanted to kill something and another teacher looed as if he was perplexed.

When everyone Dumbledore started his speech "Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! our caretaker, Mr. Filch, has asked me to remind you that the third-floor corridor on the right-hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death. Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber!"

With that everyone everyone dug into the feast.
