I Always Knew [Discontinued]

Chapter 3- The Sorting

In this chapter I thought I might introduce Harry's thoughts. Once again enjoy!

Draco's POV:

For the rest of the train ride nothing really happened to us. Until there was a enouncment made. 

"We will be arriving at Hogwarts in 5 minutes' time. Please leave your luggage and owls on the train, they will be taken to school separately."

"Lets go then!" was Crabbe's instant reaction.

Goyle and I just laughed at how he had said that instantly.

Once off the train my mood dropped to the floor when I worked out who was calling us, it was none other then Hagrid.

"First years! First years over here! C'mon, Follow me. Anymore first years? First Years follow me!"

All the first years followed him down a thin path that lead to the Black Lake.

"No more then 4 to a boat!" Yelled Hagrid as soon as we got to the lake.

I got in a boat with Crabbe, Goyle and a girl named Pansy.  Once all of us were in our boats, Hagrid yelled at the top of his lungs 'FORWARD'. This made all the Mudbloods and Harry squirm in their seats, as for us pure-bloods we knew he did this so we were expecting it. I knew all the Mudbloods squirmed cause they didn't expect it cause their parents couldn't tell them about it cause they hadn't experienced it their selves or did know about it. As for Harry I knew it was cause he didn't have any parents and his Uncle and Aunt in which he lived with were muggles, so in my eyes it made him a blood trader. 

Once they boats started moving everyone started talking within their boats. Pansy started the conversations in our boat.

"Hello boys, I'm Pansy Parkinson, and you are Draco Malfroy, Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle, am I correct?"

"Yes." we all chimed in time making her let out a small giggle. We chatted main of the way about how we thought the sorting ceremony might go.

Before we knew it Hagrid yelled 'Heads down!' which signified that we were at Hogwarts. I felt my heart skip a few beats as for I was so excited for starting.

When we got to the harbour we all pilled out of the boats and followed the oaf  down the passage way. The passage way ended just outside the front door. Hagrid knocked 3 times, at once the door opened. standing in the door way was Professor McGonagall. she pulled the door wide open for us to pour into the castle, she lead us into a small room just outside the great hall, here she told us the deal and about how the houses worked.

Once she left, whispering started all around the room about what spells they thought they might need for this 'test'. I found it quite funny and it was hard not to laugh at them.

When McGonagall returned, all us first years formed a line and followed her into the great hall.Once inside the hat began its yearly song. Once the hat stopped the whole hall burst out in applause.

"When I call your name , you will come sit on this stool and put the hat on. Once the hat has told you which house you are in please go take a seat at the respective table."

I zoned out once the sorting started only focusing on if I heard my name.

"Malfoy, Draco."

I sat down, and the hat was about to touch my head when it screamed "SLYTHERIN!"

YES!! I was put where I wanted to be, and where both my Mum and Dad had been put when they were at school. Pansy, Crabbe and Goyle were all put in Slytherin too, now all I needed was for Potter to be put in Slytherin, as for his friends were in Gryffindor so he would most likely change his mind about his friend and he could become my friend.

Pansy clicked her fingers in-front of my face as for I had zoned out thinking about what I could do to earn Potters friendship. When she had eventually brought me back to real life I realised Potter was the only one left.

"Potter, Harry!"

I waited as the hat worked out where to put him, I'm sure the hat had never took this long to sort someone. eventually the hat yelled "GRYFFINDOR!" I thought I mentally sighed but the looks Pansy gave me signified other.

"What!? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Did you mean to sigh like that? it sounded as though you were disappointed in him being put in Gryffindor?"

"I'll explain to you later when no one else can over hear us. Okay?" As I said this I mentally slapped my self, one cause I didn't mean to sigh and two cause I didn't know what to tell her or what it was for myself.

Harry's POV:

Recap; "Well Potter, if you ever decided to get some better friends when you realise how bad Weasley and Granger here are, you will know where to find me." said Draco. With that he turned away from us and left.

"What the bloody hell is wrong with him!" Ron grumped.

I had no clue, so I just shrugged my shoulders and ignored it but for some reason it made me sick. 

Once we were in the hall and half way through sorting, a name caught my attention ,that name was Weasley, Ron. He was sorted into Gryffindor. The next name to grab my attention was Granger, Hermione. She too got put in Gryffindor. the last name that caught my attention was Malfoy, Draco. for some reason I hoped he would be in the same house as me so I could make him see the good in my two friends Ron and Hermione. then we could all be great friends. but to my disappointment he was put in Slytherin.

When my name was called I walked up to the stool, I was very scared as for I was the last one to be sorted. All eyes were on me. The hat was considering Slytherin or Gryffindor. The hat asked me, and after a while I said Gryffindor cause Gryffindor was where my two friends were but their was only one possible friend in Slytherin.

"It must be GRYFFINDOR!" the hat yelled.
