Devil's Child (Harry Potter x Reader Years 1-4) (ON HOLD)

~The Sorting~

y/n pov

I went with Hermione to change into my robes. I left Amica with the boys. I trusted Harry enough. I've known him my whole life. I slipped on the black robes. I went back to the compartment with Harry and Ron waiting for my return. Harry was playing with Amica when he noticed me. "Not too bad in robes either," Harry teased. "I could say the same for both of you, but that would be an overstatement," I teased back. Ron looked a little hurt, but he brushed it off.

We got off the train, Amica in my biggest pocket, to see a large man beckoning the first years to follow him. I recognized him immediately as Hagrid. "Firs' years! Firs' years! Follow me!" boomed Hagrid. "Hello Hagrid!" I greeted him. "Ello y/n, Harry!" "Hi Hagrid!" responded the raven haired boy. "Woah!" was all Ron said. I laughed at him, but he just glared at me. Sometimes I wonder if he even likes me.

We arrived to a lake, which I later discovered was called the Black Lake. Amica cuddled up in Harry's robe hood. Harry stuck his tongue out at me. "Looks like Amica favors me!" I rolled my eyes looking at the lake. There were small boats resting on the water waiting for the first years. Me, Harry, Ron, and Hermione shared a boat. As we were moving towards the big beautiful castle, the boat starts shaking aggressively. I looked beneath the boat and saw something pitch black. It was surfacing next to me. It was the lake squid. It sat there for a second before one of it's tentacles grabbed my arm.

I managed not to scream and looked the creature in the eye. I could feel all eyes were on me as I was calmly interacting with the squid. I summoned up the courage to pet it's head. I heard many gasps and whispers. The squid leaned into my hand as if that's all it wanted. I pet it on the head once more before it submerged underwater again.

I turned back to my friends as if nothing happened. Ron was gaping at me, Hermione looked terrified, and Harry, who was now holding Amica, broke the silence. "I knew you were good with animals, but I only thought you were good with muggle animals." I giggle as everyone turns their head back to the castle. 

We walked up some stairs and was greeted by an old woman and two giant wooden doors. "Welcome to Hogwarts! My name is Professor Mcgonagall. We will be joining the rest of the school shortly, but you must be sorted first. There are four houses. Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Once you have been sorted, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you points, and any rule-breaking you will lose points," Professor Mcgonagall said sternly. There was a toad in front of the professor's feet. "Trevor!" exclaimed a boy from behind me. I assumed it was Neville. Professor Mcgonagall didn't look too pleased and gave the boy a slight glare. "Sorry," he muttered and returned to his spot.

"The sorting will begin momentarily," the professor finished. She left the room leaving the first years to take in everything happening. "So it's true! What their saying on the train," a boy with platinum hair walks in front of Harry. "Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts." The room broke out into murmurs and gasps. "This is Crabbe and Goyle," bleach boy said pointing at his two bodyguards. "And I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." Ron snickered. "You think my name is funny, do you? No need to ask for yours. Red hair, and a hand-me-down robe? You must be a Weasley," he scoffed. I rolled my eyes. "What are you rolling you're eyes at?" bleach boy snapped. "How you need to make fun of others to make yourself feel superior. I don't even understand why explaining myself to a gel-brained bleach boy," I spoke.

"Do you know who you're talking to?" he asked angrily. I only smiled and responded, "Actually, the real question is do you know who you're talking to?" "Probably just some mudblood!" he scoffed. "Well for starters I'm a half-blood not muggle-born. Secondly, my grandfather is someone you wouldn't want to cross," I responded. "And thirdly, I have more power without my wand than you do with your wand and bodyguards." After I found out about my grandfather, Hades, I started reading about him. Apparently all descendants have telepathy, teleportation, and mind reading powers. Along with the mind reading I can talk to the mind that I search. He let me go and went back to Harry. "You'll soon find out that some wizards are better than others, Pottah," bleach boy continued. "I can help you there." He stuck his hand out for Harry to shake it. "I think I can figure out who to trust on my own, thanks," Harry responded. It looked like Malfoy was going to insult Harry, so I quickly motioned my hand downward pulling down his pants. All you could see was a pair of undies that had pureblood written on the front.
