The sorting hat (Phan/Harry Potter AU

The sorting

Phils pov:

Everybody rushed to the dining hall awaiting the sorting of the brand new witches and wizards. The dining room illuminated with brilliant lanterns and the nighttime sky dazzling as the new kids stood in awe of the nonexistent ceiling as i heard them murmur amongst themselves as us older students took our seats at our house tables. Mine being hufflepuff i quickly slid next to carrie who casted a glance at me. "Phillll you reek of the greenhouse" She complained as i couldn't help but laugh "Thank you" i smiled taking a quick whiff only to smell of Dirigible Plums which i had secretly stowed away in my bag. I may be a goody two shoes but i love herbology. Professor sprout thinks i'll take her place when she steps down. "Welcome to hogwarts!" a familiar voice rumbled through the crowd as the quiet chatter silenced and we all faced our headmaster Albus Dumbledore. "And welcome back all returning students" he greeted gesturing towards all of us sitting at our tables as the 1st years who stood crowded together shot us all glances. Some scared, some excited, some rude. "their so adorable" carrie whispered as a smile placed itself on my lips. They really were they were only 11 years of age seeing as your invited to hogwarts on your 11th birthday. I nodded as my eyes narrowed on one first year his slightly wavy brown hair and his chocolate brown eyes which struck me. His timidness was very clear as he hid behind a tall raggid ginger boy who would occasionally flash the shy boy a polite smile. I couldn't help but smile to myself. "Phil their too young" carrie teased flashing me a wink. "Oi! hush!" i poked her arm surpressing a loud laugh. The time passed as the names droned on and on as they were placed into their houses. Finally the boy moved up "Daniel howell" Dumbledore read. Slowly but surely dan made his way to the seat as they hovered the sorting hat over his head and i saw him tremble. "Ah a puzzle!" the sorting hat yelled as dan jumped slightly. "Hmm definitely not ravenclaw" he sneered as a gather of people laughed. "Hmm slytherin!" he declared as i sat in awe. This lanky timid boy to be a slytherin? it did not add up. Slytherin then cheered as they earned a new member. Dan quickly hustled toward his houses table as few people congratulated him on his new house.

Dan's POV:

I layed on my new bed thoughts wouldn't stop rushing through my head. Quickly i sat up there was no way i was going to sleep. Quietly i slipped out of bed sneaking out of the room using a map i'd been given to try and find the library my one escape from the real world: Books. Sure enough i found as I crept in propping the door open. I tip toed to what seemed to be a shelf of books. Nothing made sense. A book on transfiguration? "A first year in the library at two am?" A voice muttered as I dropped the books that I had cradled in my arms. "Oh I'm sorry! Didn't mean to scare you!" The raven haired boy exclaimed as he pulled out his wand then said a few and words and next thing I knew the books were floating upwards and then they were placed into my arms once again. The boy laughed at me as I stood i awe in what he had just done. "Im Phil" his yellow tie standing out in the moonlight that casted over his snow like skin as his diamond blue eyes pierced into my boring ole brown eyes. "I'm uh I'm Dan" I said shaking a bit as he gave a pat to my shoulder. "Don't worry I'm a hufflepuff, I'm nice" he gave me a small smile which i slowly returned. Oh God he'll hate me! I'm slytherin! I thought to myself before he shook his head. "Don't worry I don't judge a wizard by their house" he said almost as if he was reading my mind . "You read my mind" I laughed as he shared it. "I'm known for that" he joked wiggling an eyebrow. I shook my head fighting back a laugh. "I'm um lost..." I muttered as his eyes lit up. "I can help! Just don't tell anyone we were out here at two am or we'd lose points for our houses" he said as I quickly nodded my head before he tugged my arm towards the door that seemed to lead outside. "Now dont worry hagrid is nothing but nice..he's just well...a little tall" he said laughing as he quietly pulled the door open still holding onto my arm as he dragged me outside. The feeling of grass crunching beneath my bare feet made me smile. "You poor thing where are your socks" Phil whispered laughing. "Socks are for losers" I blurted out before I bit my lip. "Looks like I'm a loser then" Phil grinned pointing to his yellow and black mismatch socks. I couldn't help but let a little smile drape across my lips. Then i saw a cot, lanterns scattered around t he small building. Ad a huge dog guarding the cot, slobber dripping from his mouth. I started to tense up seeing as he was twice my size. Phil must've noticed because he scratched the back of the dogs head "Fangs just a big baby he doesn't bite" Phil reassured me "Hagrid just uses him to scare off students" Phil gave out a small laugh as I nodded my head slightly. Then phil raised his hand to the door knocking gently and then a loud grunt erupted from inside before the large door swung open to reveal an even bigger man a beard shadowing around his face. "Ah Phil!" He blurted happily a hand resting on his stomach as his eyes darted towards me as I felt myself shrink into the he raven haired hufflepuffs side. "You must be Dan! I know a Howell when I see one" he bellowed letting out a hearty laugh as my eyes went round surprised that this man knew who I was. "Your mom was the most brilliant witch I'd ever seen" he chorused my mouth dropping a bit. "M-my m-mom?" I stuttered out. I never knew my mom to be honest. "Such a shame what happened to her, those damn malfoys, I oughta-" he started but then Phil placed a hand on haggrids shoulder "there there, it's alright hagrid dans just a boy. He wouldn't understand" Phil murmered casting me a worried glance as I narrowed my eyes. All of a sudden my blood boiled I'm not some kid, I can handle these things, I'm going to find out about my mom wether they told me or not. And whoever these malfoys are...their going to pay for what they've done.

Phil's pov:
Me and Dan had parted ways but something was wrong. Whenever hagrid brought up his mom Dan just started squriming and his knuckles turned white. Something had upset him, now I was no ravenclaw but I know somethings wrong and I want to help. Its not always my job to help as my house always tells me sometimes people don't need or want help. But there was something about Dan that caught my eye and I was going to keep my eye on that boy even if it hurt me.

A/N bear with me it's been FOREVER since I read the Harry Potter books or watched the movie so I tried my best xD hope you guys enjoyed!!
