My New Life

Chapter 7

Harry Potter, Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry (2nd Life)

Harry hummed softly as he watched his peers get sorted into houses, a little surprised as the boy who was talking to Tommy and Tubbo earlier, Ranboo Ender, was sorted into Slytherin. But then again, Neville was sorted in Gryffindor and he was meek too. So there must be more than meets the eyes. He smiled, before clapping softly as Hermione was sorted into Gryffindor. The girl bowed slightly to Fred and George, before Harry turned back to the sorting as Neville was called forth. "Gryffindor!" Harry smiled, clapping, as Neville placed the hat back into McGonagall's hands and walked over to the red and gold clad table. He sat next to Hermione, who in turn smiled happily as she had a friend.

"Malfoy, Draco!" Harry watched as the Hat was placed on Draco's head, and began to grow worried as he contemplated for a long time. "I got it! Gryffindor!" Harry froze in shock, before smiling. This is exciting. He thought, as Draco, surprised plastered on his face, walked towards the Gryffindor table. "My! We've got a Malfoy! Isn't this interesting, Freddie?" George exclaimed, as Draco sat down next to Neville. "Right you are, Georgie! Welcome to Gryffindor, Draco." Draco smiled a little, before they turned back to the Sorting Ceremony.

"Minecraft, Tom!" Tommy walked forward, but before the hat could be placed on his head, it scoffed loudly. "Gryffindor! Now next!" Tommy smiled, before he walked and sat on the opposite side of Draco and Neville. "Minecraft, Tubbo!" Tubbo then stepped forth, before the hat was set onto his head. "Ravenclaw!" Tubbo looked at Tommy sadly, before walking to Ravenclaw's table. They were twins? Andri asked, making Harry nod. Yeah, they're fraternal, not identical. Harry hissed softly, as Andri slid back into his hood. "Parkinson, Pansy!" Harry held his wand tightly, since he knows he's next.

"Slytherin!" Pansy walked proudly to the table, sitting next to Vincent and Gregory.

"Potter, Harry!" Harry smiled, before lowering his hood and walking forward. Immediately there was a commotion, as Draco blurted out 'P-Potter!?' and everyone looking around confusedly. As Harry sat on the stool, the hat draped over his eyes and he could hear the Hat's voice. "My, what commotion have you caused." Harry chuckled. "Apologies."

The hat hummed. "You feel odd. Your soul... it feels old. And your magic core is big. Too big for an 11 year old." Harry smiled. "I know. I went back in time. My previous life was... unpleasant. I lost too many of those that I love and care for. And so did many others." Harry said, as he sighed. "Right. And in the past you got into Gryffindor. So, would you like to be in Gryffindor now, too?" Harry smiled. "If that is possible, yes. I wish to stick with Gryffindor." The hat chuckled. "As you wish, Mr Potter."

"GRYFFINDOR!" Harry inhaled deeply as he felt a wave of relief wash over him, before bowing and walking straight to the Gryffindor table. "You were Harry damn Potter! Why didn't you tell me!?" Draco asked, as Harry sat down next to Tommy. "If I told you, you would've treated me differently. Did you think I don't know about your family's history, and how long the Dark Lord targeted me?" Draco sighed. "You are correct, but still. At least now I know, Harry." Harry smiled, before he focused back on the ceremony.

"Weasley, Ronald!" Ron walked forth, before he sat down. Right as the hat touched his hair, he yelled out 'Gryffindor!', causing Fred and George to cheer as Percy sighed in relief. "Nice, Ron!" Harry grinned, as he sat next to Draco. Ron smiled, before they turned back to the ceremony as Blaise stepped forth. "Ah, a Zabini. Hm. Ravenclaw!" Blaise looked surprised, but accepted his fate and sat down next to Tubbo. They shook hands after a small greeting, before Dumbledore magnified his voice.

"A little rundown of the rules before we enjoy the feast, for our sweet little first years." The hall went silent, before Dumbledore smiled. "First, I must inform you that the third floor classrooms are inaccessible for students, so please refrain from setting foot on the floor. Secondly, do not enter the Forbidden Forest without Hagrid or Professor Kettleburn. Lastly, do enjoy yourselves. But not too much now, right, Weasley Twins?" Fred and George chuckled, as Percy sighed.

"Oo, what happened last year?" Harry asked curiously, as the Twins grinned. "Let's just say Mr Flitch will be traumatised for a while. The smell of the Dungbomb is still there if you get close enough." Fred said, winking. Percy sighed. "I can't believe you already made an enemy of Mr Flitch." Harry smiled, before the banquet appeared. The students all dug in while Harry only ate a plate of rice and curry. As they ate and chatted, Andri peeked out to take a look at the banquet. When he spotted the chicken, he hissed softly.

Harry, can I have some of the chicken? Andri asked, as Harry could practically feel him drooling on his shoulder. Here. Just eat quietly. Harry muttered, as he threw some of the chicken onto the floor and Andri slithered down through this cloak. Harry ate another spoonful of rice and curry, as he felt the stare of Snape and Quirell. He sighed in annoyance, before flicking his wand, forcing them both to look down at their own food.

When the dishes were cleaned, Harry sighed happily, watching his friends become sleepy. "My, it seems like our students are tired. Let's turn in, shall we?" Dumbledore chuckled, as he stood up. The rest followed, before McGonagall raised her hand. "House Prefects! Please escort the students to your houses! And take care. I shall see you all tomorrow morning." McGonagall said, smiling softly.

:D I love you guys
