Harry Potter in Slytherin

Chapter 1 The boy and the snake

Harry has been in his office for only two hours now and it seems like an eternity. The early Friday mornings at the Ministry of magic are usually very long and not much is to be done.
But this morning especially he hasn't had any cases to look at and his clumsy secretary didn't even care to show up and bring him coffee. Harry puts his head between his heads and sits down behind his extravagant office. He can slowly feel the tiredness take over his body and his eyes slowly close. It won't hurt to take a little nap right ? Before he can bring himself to get back to work he falls into a deep sleep.

A loud Train noise is what makes him come back to reality. Although he isn't in his office anymore, he looks down at his feet, that are no longer his feet but small feet covered by leather shoes and a way to big of a pant covering the entirety of his shoes. He looks back up to his hands and realizes they're as soft as baby skin and his arms are small and skinny. By the big suitcase in his left hand and gummies in his other hand he realizes he is back in his 12 years old self. Not understanding one bit he looks up to the people around him and meets eyes with his two Proud parents holding the other half of his suitcases and stuff for Hogwarts. He rushed towards them and tells them how much he is going to miss them. His dad smiles
"We know You're so glad to finally have us off your back"
Harry giggles, he is really excited to finally live his adventure like his parents before him, he's going to Hogwarts ! And he'll finally be able to make some true wizards friends. The final call for the bus can be heard. James potter takes his suitcases and loads them on to the train while Harry gives one last big hug to his mom. She lets out one last moral before he can jump in the bus.
"Be yourself Harry and always keep being nice, we're so proud of you we hope you have the best Hogwarts years !"
Harry smiles kisses his mom and dad goodbye one last time and rush into the bus. He passes a lot of older kids and looks up to them. He can't wait to have a friend group like all of them. As he walks down the aisles a very clumsy redhead pushes him aside to chase what seems to be a rat. Harry is frustrated, that kid didn't acknowledge him or say sorry. As he gathers back his stuff he hears a voice coming from in front of him.
"Man some of theses people are so rude and ignorant"
Harry looks up. The voice came from a little boy with light blonde hair and a big smirk on his face.
"Oh hey Im Draco, Draco Malfoy! Nice to meet you"
Harry smiles and shakes his hand.
" I'm Harry Potter !"
Draco looks at him up and down and notices the sweets in Harry's hand.
"No way! Those are my favorite too!"
Harry giggles, he points at a available seats and asks if he wants to share the gummies. Draco doesn't hesitate and both the little boys start talking about their own little life's and parents. The Train starts off and the kids get thrilled with that magical sensation of being free. During the ride Draco asks Harry.
"What house do you want to get in ?"
Harry doesn't really know he hasn't really thought about one house in particular, he was mostly excited to practice his magical abilities and someday be as famous as the Unbelievable Neville longbottom, Neville longbottom was a superstar in the wizarding world because he was the first and only to have survived the death spell of Voldemort himself.
Draco couldn't believe Harry hadn't though about that before because all Malfoy could think about was wearing the Slytherin colors very proudly.
"I would die if I wasn't a Slytherin, can you believe all of my family was in Slytherin, my aunts, cousins, parents. All the greatest wizards are in Slytherin! It is clearly the best house and they're so hardworking and ambitious"
Harry listening to his soon to be new friend, was so captivated by his admiration to that house that he thought to himself Slytherin would be a great house for him and he would also be with someone he knew so that was less stressful.
The Train finally stopped and they gathered there stuff and got off the bus to meet a huge man called Hagrid, the half giant showed them the Boats and they climbed in. The magnificent school was standing in front of them. Harry couldn't believe his eyes he finally was were he belonged. The thousands lights reflected on the lake and made the ride so magical and euphoric. When they finally arrived on the other shore Harry was almost jumping up in down of excitement. As he was walking towards Draco, the red headed mess stepped on his foot and almost fell to the ground. Malfoy looked down on the ignorant and rolled his eyes.
"Well well well, what do we have here ? Red hair, small bags, smelly sweater, clumsy, and a pet....rat. This could only mean one thing... A Weasley."
The boy gets up and looks at Malfoy with a death stare. When he opens his mouth you can see that he's still waiting on a tooth to grow back in.
"Yes, indeed this is I, Ron Weasley. And who are you... frost bite?"
Draco doesn't acknowledge what he says and looks over to Harry.
"His dad works with my dad at the ministry, he holds the biggest record on being late to work and also for falling asleep during boring muggle subjects of his"
Ron looks at Draco with indignation, and bites the inside of his mouth.
"You are not allowed to talk of my father like that ! At least I have a family that is here for me and  that truly loves me. Anyways I wasn't here to talk to you Malfoy." Ron looks at Harry and calms his tone down.
"I'm sorry for knocking you over earlier, what's your Name ?... my stupid little rat, ran away again I hope I didn't hurt you."
Harry is pretty disturbed by what just happened between the two boys and looks up at Draco who's waiting for him to react.
"I um... it's alright It didn't hurt... but you should be more careful! It doesn't seem like you're the most loved kid here so just don't be making more ennemies that you already have. And my name is Harry Potter."
Draco raises his eyebrows, he didn't think Harry was capable of a good comeback, he holds back a smile impressed. It seemed like he finally found a friend.
