"SLYTHERIN!"

   Everyone gawked at the boy before them. Who would've thought that the Boy-Who-Lived, that saved the school, twice, was re-sorted into Slytherin of all places. Harry felt the hat leave his head, and he slowly stood up, and headed towards the Slytherin table, and sat furthest away from Malfoy, but still close to see his friends, who were still shell-shocked. "As I say every year, the Dark Forest is forbidden to all students. Mr. Filch reminded me that that the door on your right on the third floor is forbidden if you don't want to die a painful death." Dumbledore explained, looking at every student, and than suddenly stopped when he caught Harry's eyes. "Mr. Potter, would you meet me in my office after the Feast? And you too Mr. Malfoy." Dumbledore said, looking at the two boys. They nodded their heads as the Headmaster made his way to his seat so he could start.

   "Let the feast begin!" Shouted the old man, clapping his hands twice, and than food appeared in front of their eyes, as everyone from every house started digging in. As Harry was about to grab a sandwich, he was greeted with a hand with a kind smile from a black male with black hair. "Hi, my name is Blaise Zabini, but you probably knew that. But, welcome to the Slytherin house, Potter!" Blaise said with a smile on his face. Harry shook Blaise's hand, and a soft smile was on Harry's face as he talked with Blaise the rest of dinner.

   When the feast was done, Dumbledore took off to his office, Harry and Draco in tow. "So why did you want to see us, Professor?" Harry asked, curiosity in his voice. Draco was deathly quiet the whole way to Dumbledore's office, most likely from the shock. "Just a little talk about your new house, Mr. Potter." He said, not looking back at him or Malfoy. When they got there, Dumbledore walked towards his desk, and sat down. "Please sit, boys." The two obeyed, and sat furthest away from each other. "So, the reason I asked for you too see me is to discuss your new schedule. And, where your dorm is," Dumbledore handed Harry a piece of parchment with different classes on it, and another one with a room number. "Mr. Malfoy here will show you where the Slytherin common room is, and tell you the password." The boys got up, and was about to walk out, but before they left, Dumbledore said, "Oh, and Harry, by the end on the semester, you'll be able to go back to your old house, or stay in your new one. It's optional, you don't have to be forced to stay in a house where you think you don't belong for another three years." The old wizard smiled at the raven, and shooed them off.

   "Well, I hate to admit it, Potter, but you've surprised me." Draco said, walking to the dungeons, where the Slytherin house happens to be. "Huh?" Asked Harry, looking at the blonde beside him. "You've surprised me. You were meant to be a snake, not a lion, and that surprised me." Malfoy tried making small talk, glancing at the boy beside him once and a while. "Pure-blood" Draco said the password, the portrait opened so the two could go in. "Guess they never changed the password. Its the same as last year.." Harry thought, stepping into the dark Common room. The brunette looked around the room. A long, stone room under the Great Lake, with green lighting and elaborate carvings, with leather couches, a fire place that had the Slytherin emblem incrested into the wall above it, and Windows that show the great lake, and the mysteries in it, shining into the room, lighting it up.
  
   "This place hasn't changed much," Harry thought. Draco interrupted Harry's train of thoughts, pulling on his arm up the stairs that go the dormitories. "C'mon, Potter, you can admire the common room later!" Draco dragged the raven towards the boys dormitories, stopping at the 5th door on the left. "This is your new room Potter, and I got to say, your roommates are interesting fellows." Draco said, stepping into the room and walked over to the bed furthest from the door.
   "Your my roommate, Malfoy?" Harry asked, and he could've sworn he saw the blonde roll his eyes. "Obviously. Why else would that old goat instruct me to lead you if I wasn't?" Harry sighed, looking around the room. The room itself was huge! It was bigger than the Gryffindor dorm rooms, and also much more colder. Snakes were stuffed, carved, and painted all around the room. These Slytherins take their house pride serious. There were 5 four-poster beds, all in the Slytherin house colors, green and sliver.

   Harry found his trunk and his owl near the door, and he sighed again. "You have Notts bed, since Snape decided to put him somewhere else." Said a cheerful and energetic voice. Blaise Zabini. Harry looked through his trunk, making sure that everything was still there. "Relax Potter, we never touched your stuff." Draco said as he walked into the bathroom that was attached. "This room is bigger than the Gryffindor dorms..." Harry mumbled, taking a seat on his bed. "Duh. Everyone in Slytherin are rich Pure-bloods, but only two people that we know was a half-blood, and was placed into Slytherin." Harry looked at Blaise with disbelief. "Those people are Voldemort, and You, Harry." Harry's eyes widened in shock, and his mouth was opened slightly.
