Twisted Changes (Harry Potter Fanfic)

Chapter 2

The train stopped and everyone got off wearing their school robes with their houses and their house colour ties on it except first years who were wearing plain black robes and ties were black the Hogwarts crest. Hagrid rounded up all the first years and took them down to the lake which was tradition for first years to ride the boats across on the night they arrive at Hogwarts. There were four to each boat. Hagrid sat down in another boat by himself and caused them to move forward. Everyone, including Harry and Ron, stared at the castle in awe. Once they got to the docks, they were lead up to the entrance where another professor was standing.
"Good evening professor McGonagall." Hagrid said greeting the professor that was waiting.
"I'll take them from here Hagrid." She said leading them to the hall where they just walk straight to enter the Great Hall. She told them about each house and other stuff. She left to check if the other students were ready.
"So it's true than." A boy with pale blonde hair said leaning against the railing of the stairs. "Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts." He paused again and walked up to him. "The names Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." He said and Ron sneered beside Harry. "You think that's funny? No need to ask who you are, red hair and a hand-me-down robe? You must be a Weasley." He said looking at Ron's appearance, he paused yet again. "Potter, you'll learn that some families are better than others. I can help you there." Malfoy said and stick out his hand for Harry to shake.
"I think can decide myself." Harry said and Professor McGonagall came back and tapped Malfoy on the shoulder with a scroll which caused him to move away.
"They're ready." She said before leading them down the center of the hall. There were four long tables wearing different colours and a shorter table that seated the professors. She had the students spread out in front of her. They stood right in front of the table seating professors. In between the first years and the professors, Professor McGonagall placed a stool with a worn hat with many rips, the rip at the brim opened up and the hat bursted into its yearly song that was new every year. "When I call your name, you'll come up here and will be sorted into your houses. Abbott, Hannah." She said after the hat finished its song, the first girl went up.
"HUFFLEPUFF!" The hat exclaimed to everyone in the hall. She kept calling names. Hermione Granger was sorted into Gryffindor, the hat barely touched Malfoy's head before yelling out Slytherin, Crabbe and Goyle were also in Slytherin as well as Pansy Parkinson who was just called. Neville Longbottom was also sorted in Gryffindor.
"Potter, Harry." She said and the hall fell dead quiet. Harry walked up and sat on the stool with the hat placed on his head by Professor McGonagall.
"SLYTHERIN!" The hat yelled out causing many people to look shock, including Harry himself. He stood up and went to to the Slytherin table. The table start to applause for him which started with Malfoy. Harry started to feel better about being sorted into Slytherin. He continued to watch the rest of the students get sorted into their own houses.
"Weasley, Ronald." Professor McGonagall called and Ron went up.
"GRYFFINDOR!" The hat yelled and he looked at apologetically. After everyone was sorted into their houses, Professor Dumbledore went over the rules and areas where any students were banned. Once he finished, food appeared and everyone dig in and talked to each other.
