"SLYTHERIN"

Now:

Harry's POV

I looked up at the staff table and saw that my 'father' was furious, I could see it. I knew I'd be subjected to the torture of having a resort but I knew that Alexander would just put me back in Slytherin so I wasn't too worried, in fact, it would infuriate James, even more, considering that since I'm a Potter but went into Slytherin when I'm 'supposed' to be in Gryffindor, not that I have anything against the house at all, I'm better suited for Slytherin which is why I was placed here. I also saw my godfather and uncle and I remembered what the bond had shown me and how much my godfather loved me.

I then looked towards my housemates and they were looking at me with something akin to shock, most likely because a Potter has never been sorted into Slytherin, however, I remember the very first Potter to ever attend Hogwarts was in Slytherin. Not to mention that nobody actually knew the true history of the Potter Family, not even actual Potters, because it was all lost to time. Many thought that the Potter house was just that a Most Ancient and Noble House. However, it wasn't. The house dated back to the times before Hogwarts, to the time of Camelot, during the reign of King Arthur.  The family was of the druids and he was able to use Old Magic to its fullest capacity and also "New Magic". However, all that was lost to history because of the Old Magic dying out. I only knew of this because Merlin had taught me the Old Magic. Merlin had also told him of his adventures with Arthur and that in the future if he ever was taught anything about Camelot it would be false because historians didn't know the true story and so they had gone off what little evidence there was and changed it into something it wasn't. Of course, should my family ever find out then it would inflate their ego from giant to humongous. Besides, it'd be 'strange' for me a boy who was 'supposedly' grown up around muggles to know all this.

"What are you looking at, yes I am a Potter, yes my family is filled with buffoons, and no I don't care about them."

Then all of them looked away and continued to focus as the last boy, Blaise Zabini was sorted into Slytherin. Then, Dumbledore stood up to announce the feast. "Welcome back to our returning students and welcome to our new students. Let the feast begin"

Then I watched as the various plates filled with food and I took some and placed it onto my plate, passing the dishes around until everyone had either politely declined some or taken some to eat. However one of the tables was very loud and they all saw that it was the Gryffindor table. We saw a young boy who was clearly a Weasley eating like a pig, stuffing food into his mouth and talking, which the people around him thought was repulsive. The rest of us, however, looked at him and I said, "My god if anyone of great importance or Royalty had seen this they would be completely repulsed. Not to mention that the whole family is a Pureblood Family yet they don't know simple etiquette."

"Their family has been like this for years, quite frankly, ever since they lost their fortune because the Lord at the time had been gambling and wasn't able to pay anything back, so their manor was taken from them and their status as a noble house, plus their seat in the wizengamot," Draco explained.

"Well if they continue like this then it's highly doubtful that they'll ever regain their fortune, I mean with their father working in an office which frequently contacts muggles, they've all become muggle lovers, society would never accept that," I stated with a look of contempt.

Third Person POV:

After the feast finished, Headmaster Dumbledore stood up and said the parting words to us all after announcing Sirius Black and Remus Lupin as defence professors  Lily Potter as an Arithmancy teacher and James Potter as an assistant flying professor, he allowed us to go to our dormitories. Along the way, a furious James Potter went to the son that was in Slytherin and dragged him off to the Headmasters office to be resorted into Gryffindor, however, the hat point blank refused to resort Harry Potter as even though Harry could be sorted into all the houses he showed the traits of Slytherin most often. So instead of wasting time Harry simply walked out saying "Don't try to change my house and who I am, it won't work."

Harry's POV
'Good grief, who do these people think they are, trying to change who I am, I mean the sorting hat is never wrong.' I headed towards the Slytherin common room with my head of house and went inside listening to Professor Snape's speech. I heard Professor Snape call out my name and telling me to stay back. 

As I headed back I caught a glimpse of two men walking into the common room, I realised that they were my defence professors this year and one was also my godfather. "Sirius!" "Remus!" Then I ran and tackled them into a hug while letting them know that I missed them so much and that I could feel their love for me through the godfather bond.

Ok, don't kill me, I know I said I'd update after Christmas and that it's been so long. I am currently so busy with school work and assignments I don't have too much time to write. Also, while I was in English I came with an original idea for a book and I'm thinking of getting it published when I finished it but I wanted to know if it was something you guys wanted to read or not so I've typed a little preview. Please Comment, Vote and Share, I'll update as often as I can.

The one that is the prologue

It's been seven years since I was taken. Ripped away from my loving family home. I miss it. I remember it like crystal clear water. I had been at the local park when my friend Jamie noticed a man in dark clothing walk into the park. The park itself was a lively place but it had very dark woods with a canopy so thick there was hardly any sunlight. I remember hearing Jamie's terrified scream telling me to run and go home. I had stood in shock as the man left Jamie alone and came towards me. It was like my feet had been trapped in ice that had been covered in nitrogen. I managed to start going towards my home and was outside the door before I was grabbed from behind and dragged away from my happy life.
