The first years had finally reached the final set of steps before reaching the top of the staircase.

On a higher level, an older, cold-faced woman was watching the first years walk up the steps. She was dressed in elegant green robes with gold vines along the outer side. Her witch hat also matched her robes. Her glasses were square-shaped but wide enough to be able to see her jade, green eyes peering down at the arriving students, waiting for them to reach to the top of the stairs by her.

 She rasped her fingers on the stone railing and finally speaks up once all the first years were visible.

"Welcome to Hogwarts. I am Professor McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress, Transfiguration teacher, and head of the Gryffindor House......Now, in a few moments, you will pass through these doors and join your classmates. But before you can take your seats you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor........Hufflepuff ......Ravenclaw.......and Slytherin...Now, while you are here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you house points. Any rule-breaking, and you will lose points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup-"

"TREVOR!" Neville spoke as he looked down at the top step and saw his lost toad just waiting there for someone to notice him. "Sorry..." he mumbles, when he notices McGonagall staring him down.

A few immature boys, Draco among them, snickered loudly.

"Ahem....." McGonagall sounded causing the boys to immediately shut up and listen. "Please wait here. The sorting ceremony will begin momentarily." She said before walking away.

Moments of individual chatter pass.

"So, it's true then, what they're saying on the train! Harry and Rose Potter have come to Hogwarts." Draco then spoke, completely knowing what he was doing. 

Multiple fellow first years whispered "Harry and Rose Potter are here?!" and other things about them, to then confirm the long waited for rumor: Harry and Rose Potter had indeed arrived at Hogwarts.

Rose simply stared and stayed quiet knowing what would happen if she had confronted him again.

He and his brutes moved closer to Harry and Rose before Draco spoke again.

"This is Crabbe and Goyle" he started nodding to each brute, "and I'm Malfoy...Draco Malfoy."

Ron snickers at the sound of his name.

Draco turns and glares to say, "Think my name's funny, do you? No need to ask yours. Red hair and a hand-me-down robe? You must be a Weasley."

Ron glared at him while making an upset remark afterward.

Rose grasped his shoulder with her hand and said quietly, "Don't worry about him. He's just full of himself. No wonder he's such an arse.".

The redhead smiled, feeling slightly better.

Rose turned back towards Draco, standing by Harry to hear the rest of his attempt to bring the twins over to the "dark side".

"Well, you'll soon find that some wizarding families are better than others, Potter and Potterette. Don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort." Draco said glancing evilly at Ron once more before looking at the twins again. "I can help you there.", Draco said holding out his hand, for either of the Potters to take.

The twins shared a look of disapproval towards Malfoy before Rose stepped forward. "I think me and Harry are capable of knowing who the wrong sort are for ourselves, thanks. ", winked at Draco. 

Draco glared knowing exactly what she meant.

Professor McGonagall returned from the room she left to and tapped Draco on the shoulder to go back to his spot.
