Harry Potter | The New Beginning

7.

Isaac came back to the compartment, smilling a little. He didn't look at Neither Hermione or Harry, and he sat down on his seat, trying to pack everything together as it was the end of their journey.

Harry felt a bit unsure after Isaac reacting like that. What if him and Evie made a joke about Harry, and they were simply laughing him out? Whatever it was, Harry lost the trust he gained for Isaac over the past few hours.

They got out of the train, to hear a familiar voice shouting "First years come to meh!". Harry looked around to see Hagrid, his parents friend that used to come over for a cup of tea. When he saw Harry, he said:

-Harrey! I didn't see youh for a long time, you doing okay fella?

-Hi Hagrid. - Harry said awkwardly infront of other first years beside him. He didn't want to bring much attention to their conversation, which didn't quite work.

-I though about yer, yar first year at hogwarts eh?

-Hagrid, can we talk a bit later? - Harry asked, trying to show Hagrid the group of the first year students who were watching them casually.

-Oh yer! -He realised he had to get the students to the castle, as they were shaking from the cold. - All the first years, we're gonna get to the castle by the boats. Only ten people in one boat, don't let me catch you with more than 10!

And so it began. Harry sat with Isaac and Hermione, the only people he knew, and with a few different kids. He recognised the boy he met while getting his robes, Draco, in another boat with different people.

When they got out of the boat, Harry could see hogwarts much more clear now. The fact that he was going to spend 7 years in this castle still didn't quite get to him.

-You okay Harry?- Isaac asked.

-Yeah, I'm fine. - he said. The three of them walked to the big staircase after the group of the first years. They saw a lady at the top of the stairs, With a pointy and funny hat, just like Harry used to see in the muggle movies his mum played to him when he was younger. Although the lady's hat was much more classy.

-Welcome to Hogwarts, where you will spend 7 years of hard work. As soon as we go in, you will be sorted into four houses. Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. -You could hear whispering around the group as The lady spoke. - I'm Professor Mcgonagall, not 'the lady with a spooky hat' Mr. Thomas. -She said to a dark haired boy who blushed.

They went in the castle, and it was a sort of thing like Harry expected. A fancy castle, with about 1000 people looking at them. Nothing exciting, he thought so he wouldn't faint.

Professor Mcgonagall walked them to a chair with a hat on it, and started calling names out.

- Atkinson, Louis. 

A boy walked towards the hat. As soon as he had the hat on his head, They heard the hat screaming "SLYTHERIN".

-I'm sure we both will be in Gryffindor - Isaac whispered to Harry to make him feel better, as he saw the panic in his eyes.

-Granger, Hermione.

Hermione walked over to the chair and sat on it. Professor Mcgonagall placed the hat on her head, and it started talking.

-Wise, very wise. Ravenclaw would suit you, but such bravery, such spirit. - The hat said - Well.. GRYFFINDOR! 

There was a huge applause from the gryffindor table.

Harry looked over at Isaac looking really happy.

There were a few names called out, until Harry saw Evie walking towards the hat.

It didn't say anything, like it did to Hermione. It only shouted "SLYTHERIN" as soon as the hat touched her hair.

Harry felt uneasy with this. He desperately wanted to land in Slytherin now.

Ten minutes later, Draco Malfoy was called.

Just like the hat did to Evie, Draco landed in slytherin as soon as the hat touched his hair too. Draco smirked, and he walked over to the slytherin table, and took a place near Evie.

Was it jelousy that shook Harry? He didn't know the answer. But he knew that he was thinking for too long, because he heard his name being called out.

-Hm, another Potter I see. - The hat thought deeply. - Bravery, yes. But there's something different in you.
SLYTHERIN.

Isaac looked sad that Harry didn't walk to the direction of the gryffindor table. Harry took a place next To Malfoy.

-I knew you'd make it, Potter.

Harry smirked, and looked as the hat placed Isaac in Gryffindor.
