Harry Potter: Explorer Chronicles

Conversations over dumplings and Sorting ceremonies

Chapter 7: 

The following takes place on September 1st, 1991 Beijing, China

"Yum, Chinese dumplings are delicious " said Daxter, who was enjoying a plate of dumplings

"Hmm, yeah" replied Harry, who was also enjoying some dumplings and a bowl of

wonton noodle soup, they were in Beijing to locate some rare Chinese herbs to make an eye correction potion. If made correctly the potion would repair his eyesight and give him 20/20 vision, he would no longer need to wear glasses, it was a difficult potion to make and required rare ingredients, many of which weren't sold in diagon alley. They had gotten the rare herbs and were now enjoying dinner at one of the many small restaurants in the city.

"So the Hogwarts sorting should be going on right now you know." said Daxter, who was trying to make conversation

"Yeah" said Harry

"What house do you think you would get?" Daxter asked

"I don't know, they all kind of suck equally." stated Harry

"What do you mean?" asked Daxter, curious

"Well, Slytherins are sneaky and slimy, no one cares about Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws are bookworms, and Gryffindors are complete morons who enter insane situations without thinking things through." explained Harry

Daxter chuckled at Harry's explanation and said "So which house would you end up in?"

"No idea," said Harry.

"I think you would end up in a fifth house." said Daxter "

Fifth house?" repeated Harry, not understanding what the hell Daxter was talking about

"Well you kind of fit in all the houses equally; you are brave, but you think things through before doing it; you're cunning and ambitious, but you're no snake and actually have morals; you are the BIGGEST bookworm I have ever seen, but you don't let it devour you AKA you fit all the houses and none of the houses." explained Daxter

"Well it's a good thing then that I am not being sorted, huh?" said Harry

"Yeah, but when you think about school could be fun, especially with me, imagine it, US in Hogwarts, the chaos we could cause." said Daxter

"You mean the chaos YOU would cause while I sit back and watch?" said Harry, laughing

"Yeah, basically" said Daxter, who grabbed a dumpling and stuffed it in his mouth

Harry decided to change the subject, this one was getting a little boring "Did you see the article in the daily prophet yesterday? The Malfoy heir and the Parkinson heir are engaged at eleven."

Daxter laughed "Yeah I read it, it's sad that purebloods now have to actually make marriage contracts just to keep their blood 'pure- said Daxter

"Makes me glad I am not a pureblood." said Harry

"You come from a pureblood family." stated Daxter

"Yeah but my mum is a muggleborn, so I am only a half-blood" said Harry "which is a good thing, I can't imagine marrying someone through a contract or being engaged at ELEVEN." Daxter busted out in laughter. "What's so funny?" asked Harry

"YOU MARRIED, I mean I know it will happen someday, but I am trying to imagine to who, we don't exactly know a whole lot of people and I am trying to think of a girl who could stand YOU." said Daxter, who was still laughing "she would need to be a super genius to understand HALF the things you know."
