Setting: The Great Hall, Hogwarts school of Wizardry and Witchcraft.
Date: September 1, 1991 (Sunday)
"Slytherin?! What the hell? There must be a mistake, Fergus. I advice you to sort the Potter Twins accordingly." Dumbledore shouted fervently, interrupting the applause from the Slytherin Table and the muttering of the rest.
"Albus! Language!" Professor McGonagall admonished the Headmaster, as she looked pointedly at the students. But, at the moment, the great Headmaster of Hogwarts was not going to let the Scot get to him.
Harry and Hermione Potter were both staring at the ruckus around them with fear and confusion in their eyes, and they discreetly entwined their hand(s) for comfort, which many of the on-lookers took notice of.
The Sorting Hat calmly defended itself, er, himself. "There is no mistake, Albus. The Potter Twins belong in the Snakes Pit, where they can unlock their true potential and write their own destinies. This is the first time a Potter has been sorted into the Slytherin House since 907, i.e. since the Most Ancient and Noble House of Potter was formed." The last part was an eye-opener to everyone, including the Headmaster.
"Next please, Minerva." Fergus said.
Minerva McGonagall even though was shocked and surprised (as well as, disappointed) by the turn of events, removed the battered Hat from the heads of the twins, and called the next student on the list. "RIVERS, OLIVER."
A brown haired boy with green eyes ran forward, taking his seat on the Sorting chair, as the Potter Twins headed to the Slytherin Table.
The famous twins saw that instead of focussing on the Sorting, the students of the green and silver House were watching them. More like gawking at them.
The stares unnerved the twins, and they decided to keep their eyes unfocused on anyone particular, until they saw Draco Malfoy in the corner of their eyes.
They smiled widely as the platinum blond haired boy waved for them, and they took their seats in between him and another ebony skinned boy with brown hair and grey eyes.
"Never knew you'll be sorted into Slytherin." Draco smirked.
"We, neither." Hermione said, and chuckled when the students around them heard what she said.
Draco, when finally came into realisation that the Hermione Potter was talking to him, flushed. A glazed look formed on his face, giving him the appearance of a goofy idiot.
This was perceived by only a few, including the ebony boy and a girl with black hair and pug dog like face; the former was grinning, while the latter was fuming in jealousy.
"Harry, Hermione, meet Blaise Zabini, my close friend from childhood. Blaise, meet the Potter Twins." Draco said, as he introduced his friend to the infamous celebrities of the wizarding world.
Blaise shook hands impeccably with Harry. "Nice meeting you Harry." And, kissed the back of Hermione's palm as she held her hand out for him, to which the younger Potter twin blushed. "Pleasure meeting you, Hermione." The Malfoy Heir crinkled his eyebrows - an emotion which he still couldn't fully understand.
