Saving Them One last time (book one)

So Much For That Plan

The door opened to show Minerva McGonagall.

"Firs' years professor" Hagrid says

"Thank you Hagrid" She said. She lead us to the front hall and stude in front of us all. She cleared her throat before speaking. "Welcome to Hogwarts, The start of term banquet will begin shortly. But before you take your seats in the great hall,you will be sorted in to your houses. The sorting is a very important ceremony, because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts. You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory and spend free time in your house common room. The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each house has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your house points, while any rule breaking will lose house points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points will be awarded the House Cup, a great honor. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours. The sorting ceremony will take place in a few minutes in front of the rest of the school. I suggest you all smarten yourselves up as much as you can while you are waiting." I looked around to see the only person who needed to 'smarten themselves up' was Ronald, he again had dirt on his face. I zoned out for a small moment only to hear.

"Ya me and Harry are best friends, we go way back, we do everything together" I turn around to see Ron talking to a group of five students. Draco looked at me and I gave a smerk before speaking out loud for all to hear.

"How are you my best friend?" all eyes where on me "I only meet you today on the train and we didn't even talk you just called me and my friends death eaters. And if you were my friend you would know I am called Harrison, only my family call me Harry." Everyone looked from me to Ron. I could see some of the students glaring at him as red creeped onto his face. Weather from anger or embarrassment was unclear. Soon the ghost came into the room again talking about Peeves. What was strange was all fore of the house ghost maid eye contact with me and gave a small bow of there head and small smiles. Shortly after McGonagall came back.

"There ready for you" She said opining the door for us to follow her. we walked down the middle of the tables and stop in front of the three legend stule and the sorting hat. It was silent for a few moments before the hat came to life and started to sing.

"Oh you may not think I'm pretty,

But don't judge on what you see,

I'll eat myself if you can find

A smarter hat than me.

You can keep your bowlers black,

Your top hats sleek and tall,

For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat

And I can cap them all.

There's nothing hidden in your head

The Sorting Hat can't see,

So try me on and I will tell you

Where you ought to be.

You might belong in Gryffindor,

Where dwell the brave at heart,

Their daring, nerve, and chivalry

Set Gryffindors apart;

You might belong in Hufflepuff,

Where they are just and loyal,

Those patient Hufflepuffs are true

And unafraid of toil;

Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,

if you've a ready mind,

Where those of wit and learning,

Will always find their kind;

Or perhaps in Slytherin

You'll make your real friends,

Those cunning folks use any means

To achieve their ends.

So put me on! Don't be afraid!

And don't get in a flap!

You're in safe hands (though I have none)

For I'm a Thinking Cap!"

I could here Ron muttering about killing Fred and Gorge for saying they had to fight a troll. As the clapping died down McGonagall read the first name off the list.

"Abbott, Hanna" it only took a few moments before the hat called out

"HUFFLEPUFF" said table cheered and clapped for there first addition to there family

"Bones, Susan" she to joined the Puff's. Terry Boot became the first Claw. After that I zoned out until I heard Hermione's name be called out. She looked tordes us before going up to the seat the hat was only on her head for a few moments before it called out.

"Ravenclaw" her eyes shone with happiness as she walked over to her table she flashed us a smile. 'It seams by talk really did help'. Neville again became a Gryffindor but this time it took half the time, and he did not take the hat with him. After a girl joined the claws it was Draco's tern he did not swagger this time but he did whisper a small.

"No mater what we will still be friends" to me before going to try the hat. The moment the hat touched his head it shouted.

"Slytherin" The sorting continued going the same as it had before but suddenly there was a presence in my head and it had many emotions I could not pinpoint just one.

'Harrison'

'Lady Hecate?'

'Yes I am sorry I tried to fix it ever sense your Grengots visit but I cant'

'Fix what' I asked before hearing

"Lord Potter, Harrison" from McGonagall.

'That'

With those three words you would have thought god had appeared on the grate hall. It started at a mermer then got louder. The purebloods where talking about how an eleven year old was a lord.

"Well so much for keeping my title hidden" I whispered

"Quiet" McGonagall says as I walk over to the stule. I sit down and the hall was silent again, wanting to know what house I would be in. Soon the hat passed my eyes I felt the hat in my head.

'Ah welcome back Lord Potter' the hat said

'Hello Alister'

'I hope your quest is not a difficult one. The ghost of Hogwarts and I will help in anyway we can.'

'Thank you Alister. That is much appreciated I could use all the help I can watching out for trouble.'

'We know and we will help. I could put Mr. Weasley in Slytherin and make him the outcast of his family and his house.'

"No I want him away from me. He is to dumb for the Claws he would just make them louse all ther points he has no loyalty. Even if he wasn't in it for the money all the times he turned his back on me showes the lack of loyalty. I will be going to the right house this time so the only place for him is Gryffindor'

'There is another thing I could do. I'm sheer Dumbledore will change what I say but by the time he does everyone will already know and there will be no fixing the damage it will do for the boy.'

'Will it point back to me. I don't need extra eyes on my yet I still need to get to Tom.'

'No lord Potter it is just something Godric did before the others agreed of course. It will just create difficulties for the boy.'

'Then please do now I think it is time to piss off an old goat.' I here Alister chuckle before shouting out

"BETTER BE SLYTHERIN!"
