    (Hogwarts Express)Harry got on the train knowing that the ride to Hogwarts would be interesting and he certainly wasn’t’ disappointed. Seeing Daphne and his friends was fun but then the drama arrived. Draco appeared and his anger at Daphne’s appearance caused him to start complaining but harry was having none of it and hexed him before things could get too frustrating. Not long after, a member of the Weasley’s burst in, and decided to inject himself into a conversation because he thought he could. Harry proved otherwise. Now Harry was no fool and he’d have to deal with punishment for that sooner or later. Still things were peaceful for a good thirty minutes until there was a knock on his door. “Come in.” Harry said calmly. Daphne, who was snuggling on his shoulder again, opened her eyes briefly to see who the new visitor was and upon seeing them shot up quickly and practically sat at attention.“You can go back to relaxing on his shoulder Daphne, I’m not here to cause trouble.” The new girl said before focusing on Harry. She had long silvery blonde hair with ice blue eyes with porcelain skin and a diamond shaped face. She was in black robes that emphasized a gigantic pair of br@@sts.“So why are you here and who are you.” Harry frowned.“What do you think you’re doing.” Daphne scowled.The girl could appreciate Daphne’s concern as well as Harry’s lack of but continued, “My name is <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON>. I’m the Head Girl at Hogwarts and Draco’s older sister. The reason I am here is that I was relaxing in our compartment when Crabbe and Goyle appeared with the latter dragging Draco on the floor suffering from the effects of a Full Body Bind. When I asked what happened, they said that Draco was rude to Harry Potter and he hexed him for it. Pansy was naturally furious and demanded I do something. As Head Girl it’s my obligation to look into things so I asked Crabbe and Goyle where you were and came over here to get the full story.”Harry smiled, “We were sitting here relaxing and Draco barged into our cabin. Without introducing himself he said ‘What is the meaning of this’ to Daphne which caused me to give him a metaphorical yellow card which is a mental warning before verbally pointing out that he acted like a snob by barging in and immediately started complaining. Draco said that ‘He was Draco Malfoy, and I will not talk to him like this’ which was another metaphorical yellow and I promptly paralyzed him because he clearly wouldn’t calm down if I said anything. The two boys next to him were polite so I didn’t see a need to do anything.” Harry smiled.Lucretia smiled because using yellow and red cards like he was some referee was amusing, “I see. Thank you for being honest. What about the Weasley who’s lying out there in a very similar fashion to Draco.” Lucretia wondered.Harry mentally chuckled at the fact he was still out there but stayed, “A young woman named Hermione was going from cabin to cabin to help find the frog of a classmate. We got caught up in conversation and he barged in out of nowhere and asked if we were talking about Harry Potter, which was a yellow card for him.While the twins called him a nickname that was admittedly rather rude, and to be fair they should both get a yellow card for that, he called them dirty snakes, so I gave him another yellow before paralyzing him as I did with Draco. The twins brought him outside after that and we sent Hermione away.”‘I see” Lucretia chuckled.“So what’s my punishment since I believe the Head Girl is the top authority on the train.” Harry said politely.Lucretia could appreciate that he knew that already, “You’re right that I am and frankly I don’t think you did anything wrong. I’ll write up a report and recommend that you aren’t punished for what amounts to self-defense, but I suspect Professor McGonagall will see it differently and she’s the one who truly matters.As for Weasley, I’ll back to his brothers and tell them what happened. Percy may not like it but I don’t care since his brother acted up first by barging in.” Lucretia said calmly.“Thank you.” Harry replied.“You’re welcome and I apologize on behalf of House Malfoy for my brother’s rudeness.” Lucretia said before giving a small curtsy.Harry shook his head, “It’s my personal belief that the only person who’s judged for the actions of somebody is that person. Draco was rude and obnoxious, and you’ve been nothing but polite, which is proof of my point. You have nothing to apologize for.”“You truly are interesting Lord Potter. I can’t speak for my brother, but I do hope that we can have a friendly relationship moving forward.”‘I don’t see why not.” Harry shrugged.Lucretia beamed, “Excellent. I’ll go take care of these incidents and hopefully there aren’t any more.”“I won’t initiate anything. but I will certainly finish it.” Harry replied calmly.“Very well. Have a nice trip.” Lucretia said before leaving.Harry was all smiles as Lucretia left, “Well that was fun.” Harry said while turning to the group.“That could’ve been much worse if you weren’t totally in the right Harry. She might look beautiful, but Lucretia’s nickname is the Thorn Princess. She’s not the type of person you want to p@ss off.” Daphne warned.“Got it.” Harry acknowledged.“Now if you don’t mind, I want to continue my nap, and you’re a rather comfortable pillow.” Daphne huffed.“Sounds good. Shame I can’t conjure a pillow, so you’ll have to settle for my shoulder.”“That’s perfectly okay” Daphne smiled before lying on his shoulder as everyone watched and grinned.(Scene Skip)The train ride was nearly over and soon the announcement came for them to get their uniforms. “Alright boys we’re getting changed first.” Daphne said firmly..Harry and Blaise simply nodded before going outside and it was then that Harry had his final twist of the day.“Oh you’ve gotta be kidding me. We were next to Harry Potter the entire time.” A dark-skinned girl said in disbelief.Harry looked towards the group seeing the girl in question with an oval face black hair and black eyes. Next to her was a red-headed girl with gray eyes and a round face. The last person outside was Hannah of all people and if the look on her face was any indication she wasn’t sure what to do. Harry decided to focus on the dark-skinned girl for now “You clearly know me, but I don’t know you.” Harry said politely as Blaise just watched with a grin on his face.“The name is Megan Jones. My sister is one of the Holyhead Harpies.” Megan introduced.“I’m assuming that’s a magical sports team but I’m not too familiar with them, thanks to being raised by my Muggle Aunt and uncle. Apologies” Harry replied smoothly.“I see. Well the sport in question is Quidditch and I’m sure your friend over there can explain it. This is <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON>, and Hannah Abbott.” Megan said politely looking at Blaise in the process.“The names Blaise Zabini by the way.” Blaise chuckled.“Hello Blaise.” Susan replied calmly.“Hello.” Hannah said as she focused on Harry who couldn’t help but appreciate the irony.A few days ago, Hannah was in his hotel room as he f@ck@d her senseless and now they had to play strangers. In hindsight they should’ve had a plan but when you were having s@x, you tended to forget about other things, “Nice to meet you girls.” Harry said to all three. He briefly considered the pureblood introduction but given how nonchalant they were, they probably wouldn’t mind. “So is the article is true. Were you actually raised by Muggles.”“Yes, but like I said in the article, I want to move on from all of that.” Harry said calmly.“Alright. It’s just.. never mind.” Susan frowned.Harry could see something was wrong and decided to find out what, “Ms. Bones. You seem very bothered by something.” Harry probed.‘It’s just. Most of my family was killed by He Who Must Not Be Named, and I ended up being raised by my Aunt in the aftermath. When I read the stories that were written about you I was caught up in all of that and even asked my Aunty if there was a way I could meet you myself. She said she’d try but was told that you were happy and safe in a protected area. I understood that but I still wanted to send you a letter of support. I decided to write something up. I’m guessing if you lived with muggles, you didn’t get that.” Susan lamented.“Afraid not.” Harry said sympathetically. In truth that was probably a good thing since the Dursley’s would freak out if somebody reached out.“Hey Susan. Why don’t you give your hero a hug for some encouragement right now. I know it’s a few years late but at least it’s the thought that counts” Megan teased.“Megan!” Susan gasped.“I don’t mind.” Harry smiled warmly catching them all off guard.“See Susan. There’s no problem.” Megan smiled.“Alright” Susan said bashfully before coming over and embracing him. Feeling Susan’s massive br@@sts against him was a treat to be sure and Harry couldn’t help but wonder if history could repeat itself with Hannah acting as the wing woman for her best friend the way Lacey did for Hannah. A glance towards the blonde saw her give him a quick knowing smile. Though he made sure to glance at both of Susan’s friends, so nothing was obvious. Susan pulled away and stared at him with a blush just for the door to the compartment he and Blaise were sharing to open up.“We’re done changing.” Daphne spoke up as she saw Susan staring at Harry with their arms around each other.“Perfect timing.” Blaise chuckled as Susan quickly moved away failing to hide the blush.“I guess it’s our turn to change. Nice meeting you girls.” Harry smiled before.“Likewise” Megan nodded, and Harry and Blaise walked in to get changed.(Scene Skip)There were only a few minutes left in the ride, and everyone was sitting upright since they didn’t want to ruin their new robes. “It’s been a fun ride.” Harry smiled sitting between Daphne and Tracey.“It has.”“We’re going to miss you Potter.” The Carrow twins said together with solemn expressions on their faces.Harry blinked, “I’m not going anywhere.” Harry replied in confusion.“No.”“But there’s no way you’ll be in our dorm.”“And because of that.”“Our friendship will end.” The Carrows said together.Harry shook his head, “Forget all of that. I see no reason we can’t be friends. If I have to walk over to your house and sit with you guys like we are now, I’ll do it.”“But what if”“People say things.”Harry chuckled, “People are always going to say things, but I don’t care. The people I care about are those who I consider friends and right now I’m happy to add all of you to that list.”“You consider us friends.”“From just this conversation.” The twins said in shock and even Blaise and Tracey were surprised.“Daphne was my friend before this and I’ve gotten along pretty well with you guys, so why not.” Harry shrugged.“Well said.” Blaise smiled.“So if we want to spend time with you in between classes you’re okay with that.” Flora asked curiously.“I’d be annoyed if we didn’t spend time together.” Harry replied.The twins smiled, “In that case as our friend tell us which one is which.”“You don’t have the advantage of our shoes anymore. So it’s a true test” Flora and Hestia said together.Harry glanced at the twins and smiled, “Flora. Hestia” Harry said before pointing at the twin on the right and then the left.The two girls beamed, “Correct.”“Now stand up because you’ve won a prize.” The twins said together.Harry rolled his eyes before getting up and Flora and Hestia walked over to him. In perfect sync the twins got on their toes slightly and kissed him on the cheek to the surprise of everyone watching.“Nice.” Blaise and Tracey said together clearly approving of the action.“Where did that come from.” Harry said with a big smile on his face.“We wanted to reward you for your efforts.”“We hope you don’t mind.” The twins said together.“Not at all and there’s no way I’m not coming to spend time with you guys now.” Harry grinned.“Good.”“Because we don’t want to hear Daphne whine all the time about seeing you with all these other people.” The twins smiled.“What are you guys talking about.” Daphne blushed from the side.“You aren’t fooling us Daphne.”“You haven’t shown this much affection to anybody outside of Astoria.”“We understand that it’s because you want to enjoy your time together while you can.”“So if that’s the case stop pretending to be this ice queen and act like a regular girl for once.”Daphne bit her lip before getting up and turning towards Harry, “In that case. Mind if I act like a regular girl for once.” Daphne said with a blush on her face..“Of course.” Harry said happily as he wrapped his arms around Daphne’s waist and pulled her into his body. Daphne looked up at Harry and wrapped her arms around his neck before pulling him down for a kiss on the lips that Harry gladly went along with. The two held the kiss for a bit but just as Daphne considered escalating things, the moment was ruined.“We’ve arrived at Hogwarts. All students please leave your trunks on the express as they will be delivered to you later.“Oh so close.” Tracey frowned.“Shut it Tracey.” Daphne pouted.“Daphne if you think that’s the last time you and I are going to kiss while at Hogwarts you have another thing coming.” Harry said happily.Daphne blushed before looking away from Harry, “What about that girl the Prophet mentioned you were with. Aren’t you guys under a contract of some kind? I don’t know relationships work in the muggle world but.” Daphne said unsure of what to make of this.Harry cupped her face with his right hand, “I’ve been wanting to kiss those lips of yours since we met in Diagon, and those desires have only grown since we got to know each other. Honestly, it reached a point where talking was the last thing I wanted to do when you came to visit me.” Harry said bluntly.“Whoa.”“How Bold” the Carrows smiled.“I see” Daphne said with a blush.“Thankfully for me, my girlfriend knows that even if I were to explore my desires for other girls, she will always have my heart. Which means that anytime you feel like kissing or doing more than that, we can do it without any issue” Harry said before pecking her on the lips once more.“D@mn. Potter doesn’t play.” Blaise grinned while the Carrows and Tracey blushed at the incredible scene.“That’s a yellow card Blaise. My friends don’t call me by my last name.” Harry smirked before letting go of Daphne who was still in complete awe.“Got it Harry.” Blaise said with a grin.“Oi Daphne. Time to go.” Tracey smiled as she watched her friend still seemingly frozen in shock.Daphne gathered herself and smiled, “Right. Let’s go guys.” Daphne said and they all made the short walk outside.(Scene Skip)After getting off the train their group was led through a large forest by a massive man with lantern before they were put on a boat with groups of four. Harry’s group consisted of Daphne Susan and Hannah amusingly. Tracey joined Megan and the Carrows while Blaise was with three guys who apparently were with Hannah Susan and Megan on the train. “This is amazing.” Hannah gasped as the group got their first look at Hogwarts as they travelled along the lake.“It really is beautiful, and we’ll spend the next seven years here huh.” Harry beamed. The boat ride was pretty peaceful though he did notice dirty glares from Draco and the We. Not that he cared truthfully.“That’s right” Daphne said with an odd expression on her face. She was glad to know that Harry liked her, and that he wouldn’t let little things like the dorm stop him, but as she watched her other two boatmates she had an odd feeling in the back of her head. Susan’s interest in Harry was obvious if the hug was any indication, but something about Hannah bothered her far more. She couldn’t explain why the blonde was such a concern, but she was.“It’s kind of funny seeing you in awe of this place considering what everyone was told about you.” Hannah smiled breaking Daphne from his musings.“Really Hannah. Harry said in the article that the books were fake.” Susan scowled coming to Harry’s defense as quickly as she could.“It’s okay Susan I get it. When I was in Diagon, I had a chance to read some of the stories for myself. As repulsed as I was by them using my name without my permission, they painted an absolutely incredible picture of my life. What I find more surprising is that everyone went along with it so easily.” Harry frowned.“What do you mean.” Susan wondered.“In the Muggle world, there are fictional and nonfictional stories. Fiction are imaginative stories, and they talk about things that most people wouldn’t believe are real, an ironic example of that is magic.”“Wait. Are you saying that Muggles know about magic.” Daphne gasped out loud and the people around them started focusing on them even more if that was possible.“Yes and No. Muggles have used magic as a tool to entertain people for the most part. The main examples are magicians who use sleight of hand and misdirection to shock people into thinking that they have special powers. In fact, on Halloween many muggles dress up as witches, wizards, ghosts and other supernatural creatures to celebrate.” Harry said explained.Daphne and many of the watching wizards were pleasantly surprised by that news. Wizards tended to not pay attention to the actions of muggles so hearing that the supernatural was celebrated was a pleasant surprise, “So what do you think would happen if Muggles learned magic was real.” Daphne wondered.“They’d probably want to learn more, and a few would ask if there was a safe way to get powers.” Harry said quickly.“Stop lying Potter.” A boy with sandy hair on Blaise’s raft shouted out.“And you are.” Harry deadpanned.“Zacharias Smith. Just so you know, I’m related to Helga Hufflepuff one of the founders of the school.” Zacharias huffed.Harry rolled his eyes and instantly gave this guy a red card but instead of hexing him, decided to take him down a peg in his own way, “It’s nice that you’re related to the founder of our school from centuries ago, but here’s a little piece of modern advice. Using your family name to make yourself seem important is incredibly stupid. Taking pride in your name is one thing, and I have no problem with that, but at the end of the day Helga Hufflepuff isn’t going to take classes for you or do anything else for you. As far as I’m concerned her achievements don’t matter at all when it comes to you and how I should treat you.” Harry said bluntly causing quite a few people to glare at him in anger.“Harry. You do realize you just basically said that your name doesn’t mean anything around people who were raised to believe that your name is everything.” Hannah said with a hint of amusement.Harry wasn’t bothered, “Let me spin this a different way. What is your name.” Harry said calmly.“Hannah Jessica Abbott. Heiress of House Abbott” Hannah said calmly.“Alright. What’s your father’s name.” Harry said calmly.“Joseph Lawrence Abbott. Head of House Abbott” Hannah answered curious where Harry was going with this.“If seven years have passed, and you’re graduating from Hogwarts what do you want people to say about your time there. Do you want them to say that ‘Joseph’s daughter was such a great student who did well in all her classes and never got in trouble’, or do you want them to say Hannah Abbott was those things. As I said, I don’t mind having pride in your family name, but instead of trying to use your family name to make yourself seem better, make your family name better by your own actions.” Harry explained..Most of the group that was furious at him before was taken aback by his words and more than a few found themselves closer to his way of thinking, “I never thought about it like that” Hannah admitted and while they didn’t say it, the others around him seemed to agree.Harry was glad that this was working and decided to deliver the final blow, “Let’s continue with this train of thought in a slightly different way. I’m known as the Boy Who Lived because of what happened the night my parents were killed. Putting aside the fact that nobody should know what happened that night since my family and He Who Must Not Be Named were the only people there, somebody took advantage of my name and reputation and wrote a series of books about me and from what I can tell many people already believe they know who I am because of that. There is no doubt that I am the Boy Who Lived, and it will always be a part of me.  However, if you only think about me in terms of being the Boy Who Lived and the stigma that comes with that name, you will be in for a massive disappointment.” Harry said as his lecture came to an end.The few who were still on the fence found themselves looking at Harry’s point of view far more after that. Every single magical or half-blood there, knew the story of the Boy Who Lived and seemed to have decided ahead of time that Harry would be like that. It made some of the purebloods wonder what others thought when they heard that name and it was a sobering thought indeed.(Scene Skip)With the trip down the lake over, the group was led into the castle and the large man from before was replaced by an older women who had that look of somebody who you simply didn’t mess with, “Welcome to Hogwarts everyone. I am Professor Minerva McGonagall Deputy Headmistress and head of Gryffindor Dorm. I will be escorting all of you to the Great Hall so take this chance to get yourselves all clean and tidy for your sorting. I understand there were multiple incidents on the way here and rest assured they WILL be addressed by the end of the day, and students will be properly punished. Now please follow me.” McGonagall said firmly.“Why should I be punished, I’m the one who got hexed for absolutely nothing.” Malfoy complained.“That’s enough mister Malfoy. As I said we will deal with what happened later.” McGonagall said again as she turned around and began walking.“This is ridiculous. My father will hear of this.” Malfoy shouted.McGonagall stopped and turned around before giving Draco a piercing glare, “Mr. Malfoy, if you continue to complain, you won’t have to worry about the sorting because I will expel you personally and your father will do nothing. Now please, let’s get going. It is quite late and I’m sure everyone wants to get sorted and get some food in their belly.” McGonagall said firmly.Malfoy grumbled as Harry simply walked with Daphne and the rest of his group.  As they walked forward, Harry noticed the Weasley barging through people as he made his way towards them. As he got closer, he noticed that Susan and Hannah were in his way and sure enough he barged over them also not caring at all for those left in his wake, “There you are Harry. I don’t know what those snakes did earlier but UGHH” the boy groaned as Harry in a very unmagical like manor punched him into the stomach causing him to fall forward and just in time to get a knee to the face that let out a sickening crunch. McGonagall looked back just in time to see him fall to the ground with his nose bleeding with Harry standing over him.“What is the meaning of this.” McGonagall shouted.Harry looked at the women calmly, “Mr. Weasley decided to barge through a group of students before running over Susan and Hannah to approach me. As a gentleman I decided that the only appropriate action was to punch him in the stomach and then knee him in the face.” Harry said calmly.“And you considered that an appropriate action why?” McGonagall scowled.“Because somebody who barges through groups of students when we’re all trying to walk to the Great Hall isn’t somebody who listens to words. I will gladly take any punishment that you deem necessary for my response.”McGonagall was taken aback by his brutal honesty, “I see. Well I have a few incidents to speak to you about already Mr. Potter. This will be another.”“And I’ll gladly address all of them. I apologize for the interruption everyone, but I wanted to make it very clear that running into people like that is not something I tolerate” Harry said honestly.McGonagall sweat dropped before pulling out her wand and casting a spell on Weasley to stop the bleeding and then fixing his nose, “Mr. Weasley I suggest that you walk slowly and away from Mr. Potter for the remainder of the trip.”Weasley got up and looked at Harry in disbelief, “What was that for mate.” Weasley complained ignoring McGonagall..“You ran over multiple people including Susan and Hannah without saying anything just to come over here. That kind of rude behavior shouldn’t be tolerated.” Harry replied calmly.“Oh come on their fine.” Weasley dismissed causing McGonagall to twitch.“Mr. Weasley that’s enough. If you continue on I will be expelling you tonight.” McGonagall said calmly.“Fine.” Weasley said angrily and he moved away.Harry walked over to Susan and Hannah and pulled them up, “Sorry about that ladies.”‘It’s not your fault Harry. Let’s just get going.” Susan smiled.The rest of the trip was silent as everyone was learning the hard way not to mess with Harry Potter.(Scene Skip)Harry and the group arrived at the Great Hall to the sight of all the students sitting in the various tables. It was easy to tell who was in what dorm by the ties which were color coded and there were a few people who instantly stood out to him. The first was Malfoy’s older sister who seemed calm and when she spotted him smiled to his admitted surprise. The second was an older girl with pink hair. The look on her face was one of great joy for a brief minute but it faded. Finally, a group of red heads gathered together who looked at him with curiosity. Eventually they stopped as McGonagall stood up front. She was next to a hat that looked beat up, but Harry knew that it would be the key to his future. “Welcome students to Hogwarts. Before you are to be sorted, it is time for the Hogwarts song.” McGonagall announced.Harry ignored the song as students looked around happily to see the sights and sounds but soon it was all over, and it was time for the sorting.“When I call your name you will come up to be sorted.” McGonagall said firmly.“Hannah Abbott.” McGonagall said and Harry watched Hannah come up. The hat was promptly put on Hannah’s head and after about a minute it spoke again.“HUFFLEPUFF” and the group with the pink haired girl clapped happily as Hannah walked over.“Susan Bones.”“The lovely red head walked over and the first thing Harry noticed was that the robes were horrifically unflattering, and the mammoth bust she sported earlier was hidden from the world. As she put on the hat a minute or so passed again.“HUFFLEPUFF.”The sorting continued and a girl named Lavender Brown who reminded Harry of the reporter who he saw alongside Skeeter was sorted into Gryffindor. Slytherin had a nice run of students with a larger girl named Millicent Bulstrode, the Carrow twins and Tracey along with both of the boys with Malfoy.Not long after and there was a face he hadn’t seen since the train, “Hermione Granger.” McGonagall shouted and the bushy haired girl walked up and was placed in Gryffindor after a minute or two.“Daphne Greengrass.”It was Daphne’s turn, and she walked up as composed as ever. Most of the sorting took a minute give or take but Daphne took around 4 before a decision was made.“SLYTHERIN” the hat shouted, and Daphne took a deep breath before walking over. She hugged her two friends at sat down with a smile.“Now comes the fun part. Daphne is in Slytherin and with Draco not far behind, Slytherin’s future leaders will theoretically be in place.”Harry found that foolish but that was Slytherin’s problem. The sorting continued and soon it was time for the blonde ponce.“Draco Malfoy.”Draco walked up and sat down, and the hat was barely on his head when it shouted. “SLYTHERIN” and Draco walked over to join his goons.The sorting continued and Harry was barely paying attention. There was a pleasant surprise in the form of the Patil twins Parvati and Padma joining different dorms with Parvati in Gryffindor and Padma in Ravenclaw.He noticed that Flora and Hestia along with the Weasley twins were sorted into the same place but not them. Of course all that was quickly thrown away.“Harry Potter.” McGonagall announced it and Harry walked up. Predictably there were plenty of murmurs but as he approached the hat, he admittedly found himself uncomfortable with the idea of putting on a hat that so many had used already. To the surprise of everyone, he summoned his wand from his holster and pointed it at the hat.“Tergeo!” Harry shouted with everyone watching as he cast the wiping spell on the hat which had a shine to it afterwards. Tergeo was another spell that came from the book, and it was certainly useful. Admittedly he typically used it clean up after he enjoyed Hannah or Lacey but cleaning a hat was a worthwhile sacrifice..“Mr. Potter please sit down and for future reference please try and not use magic in the Great Hall.” McGonagall lectured.“Apologies Professor but the hat just had many different students on its head. That can’t be sanitary.” Harry smiled and quite a few people who were just sorted, particularly the girls seemed to get what Harry was saying and looked nervous.McGonagall grinned at that, “Just sit down.” McGonagall chided.“Of course.” Harry smiled and sat down at last before the hat was placed on his head.
   “Thank you for that Mr. Potter it’s been years since… oh my.” The hat paused. 
‘What happened.’ Harry wondered.
   ‘Dear Albus decided to cast a compulsion charm on me in order to sort you into Gryffindor. He clearly underestimates my power but there’s nothing I can do.’ 
‘Did he now?’ Harry scowled.
   ‘Indeed. Albus should know better than to interfere with the sorting, and he should pay dearly for that. What do you think?’ 
‘I think that you should tell everyone what just happened before sorting me.’ Harry suggested.“As I look through your mind you are practically made for Ravenclaw, and I was moments away from sorting you there. However, the Headmaster decided to use a compulsion on me to place you in Gryffindor for reasons that I don’t know about and frankly don’t care for. Apologies to Ravenclaw but the Headmaster needs to learn to let people do their jobs so I’ll be sorting you into SLYTHERIN!!!” the hat announced and almost as one, everybody in the Great Hall was stunned silent. A smiling Harry walked over to the Slytherin dorm and watched as Hestia Carrow moved over so Harry could sit next to Daphne who couldn’t believe her luck.“I guess you’ll be stuck with me for seven more years.” Harry smiled resisting the urge to peck her on the cheek.“Yeah.” Daphne replied still in disbelief at the insanity of the situation. Harry Potter was a Slytherin, and half of the school was unsure what to think while the other half and the entire teaching staff were glaring at a horrified Dumbledore.
  
  

    
      
        
        
          •	Let me start off by saying Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday’s because along with this chapter brings a special announcement. I have decided to finally create a discord Storm’s Palace that will allow readers to interact with me in regard to my various stories. It is a work in progress so please bear with me as I build it. Here is the link https://discord.gg/atGWU2nK•	Some might’ve been surprised that Lucretia was so dismissive of what happened but keep in mind that she knows Draco and his personality and understands why Harry would react the way he did.•	A bit of a quirk in my writing that people picked up on is that I don’t like to name characters until they are officially introduced. That’s why even though Ron is used plenty of times I leave his name ambiguous. It’s a me quirk but it’s just part of how I am.•	This chapter is a further demonstration of the fact that Harry is very much a chaotic neutral. He does what he wants but he’s also willing to take responsibility for it. He also doesn’t mind stirring the pot.•	Harry is sorted at last and admittedly this was an interesting point for me. If you look up Ravenclaw’s traits of intelligence and individualism suit this Harry to a disgusting degree but Harry is also cunning, loyal and resourceful like Slytherin. I did it the way I did so you see what I’m dealing with as I worked it out. Ultimately the story I wrote works better with him in Slytherin and things are about to get fun.'
