Author's Note: This is a short chapter. I didn't have time to do much but I figured I'd update before I left.

Chapter 2 Hogwarts

The next day Harry only left the room when he was hungry or to go to the bookstore. Harry eagerly read his textbooks and began trying to cast spells. By the end of the day Harry was almost a quarter of the way through his all his books, except for Basic Potions and the Animagus book, which he had almost completed. The Animagus book lay forgotten in his bag. Adam came into the room later in the evening after going to the Apothecary to find Harry sprawled out on his bed sleeping, with books spread out all over the bed. With a flick of his wand all the books went into Harry's trunk and Adam went to sleep.

When Harry woke up the next day he looked over to find Adam still asleep. Harry bounded over and began pushing Adam.

"W-What? Wh-What's going on?" Adam asked sleepily. To which Harry yelled, "Hogwarts!" Adam

laughed and stood up. Adam got dressed while Harry began practicing a few spells before Hogwarts.

Adam side-along apparated with harry to a checking station at the train station. He led Harry through the barrier and helped him get on the train with no problems.

Harry found his way to an empty compartment, taking out his Advanced Defensive Magical Theory book out and began reading. Partway along the ride a red headed boy came in, but upon seeing the book in Harry's hand he mumbled something about "bloody nerds" before backing out and leaving. As Harry reached the third chapter a girl came in.

The girl had long bushy brown hair and cinnamon brown eyes that seemed to sparkle. "Hello!" She exclaimed. "I'm Hermione Granger." The girl stuck out her hand. Harry shook it as she sat down across from him.

"I'm Harry Potter. Are you a first year to?" He asked her. She nodded.

"I'm a muggleborn. It was quite a surprise when I received my letter. At first we thought it was a joke, but then a nice man named Albus Dumbledore came and showed us magic. I believe he's the headmaster at the school." Harry nodded.

For the next hour and a half harry and Hermione discussed Hogwarts. When the train reached the station Harry shrunk his trunk causing Hermione to gasp. He smiled shyly and continued on. There was a giant of a man who led them to small rickety boats. Harry and Hermione cautiously made their way into the boats followed by a boy with slicked back blond hair, gray eyes, and what looked to be a permanent sneer on his face.

The boy began to talk. "My name is Draco Malfoy." He said with pride. Harry and Hermione only nodded as the boy began explaining how powerful and amazing he was. Harry and Hermione had to try hard to keep their small laughs from being heard by the small aristocrat. When they reached the shore they all filed out of the boats and up the hill towards the castle. The giant man led them through the doors and handed them off to a lady with orange hair tied into a bun and steel eyes that seemed to penetrate you.

"My name is Minerva McGonagall. I am the Deputy Headmistress and I teach Transfiguration. I am also Head of Gryffindor house. I expect all of you to smarten up. I will be back in a moment." The lady turned and went into two large doors and came back with a stool and a hat. She led the students into a giant hall. There were five tables. Four separated sitting side by side longways and one at the very front. Each table housed students of different colored robes. McGonagall sat the stool down and unrolled a long sheet of parchment.

Two people were sorted into Hufflepuff. Three went to Ravenclaw. One to Gryffindor and one to Slytherin. "Granger, Hermione." She called. The girl bounded up and eagerly jammed the hat on her head. The hat sat for about two minutes before bellowing out "Gryffindor!"

Two more went into Hufflepuff, another to Ravenclaw, two to Slytherin, and three to Gryffindor.

"Potter, Harry." She called. The whole room silenced. Even the teachers tensed up, each one silently hoping for their respective houses. Harry shyly made his way up to the stool and sat the hat on his head.

"Ahhh the famous Harry Potter. There is a lot in your head Mr. Potter. Hm lets see. Your very cunning and have a thirst for power. No not Slytherin. Not for you. Your very brave. But not Gryffindor." Harry silently saddened at this. "Your loyal to those who deserve it but I don't think Hufflepuff is right. Your thirst for knowledge is great. You are ingeniously smart. I believe you shall be a RAVENCLAW!" The hat shouted the last part out.

The Ravenclaw house burst out in applause, jumping up and down shouting. Harry quietly walked his way over to the table. There were hundreds of congratulations. Ravenclaw finally had a light in their midst.

Two more went to Ravenclaw and 3 more to Gryffindor. "Weasley, Ron." The red headed boy from the train walked to the hat. The hat thought for a moment before yelling out "Hufflepuff!" The boy immediately paled. He sat stunned for a minute before being ushered to his table by McGonagall.

The remaining eight wore sorted equally among the houses. After the sorting an odd looking man stood up. He had on purple wizarding robes and a long white beard. His eyes seemed to twinkle.

"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. As always the Forbidden Forest is Forbidden. Also the forbidden item list has been updated and can be viewed near Mr. Filch's office. Now, Tuck in." Magically food of all kinds appeared before Harry. He began shoving it all on his plate.

A boy beside Harry began talking. He had dark blond hair, and odd brown eyes that seemed flecked with gray. "Hey Harry. My names Conner O'Riley" Harry shook the boys hand. For the rest of the feast Harry talked with Conner and another boy named Daniel Arkane. After dinner the prefects led the first years to the Ravenclaw common room. "The password is Scientia est Vox, don't forget it." One of the prefects warned.

Harry was sitting in the common room reading Hogwarts, A History, when Professor Flitwick came and retrieved him. "The Headmaster would like to see you." Flitwick led Harry to Dumbledore's office. The tiny man mumbled something to a stone gargoyle causing it to jump away revealing a staircase. "Go on up I will wait down here." Flitwick told Harry pushing him towards the stairs. Harry slowly walked up the stairs. As he was about to knock a cheerful voice told him to come in. Harry opened the door to see the odd looking Headmaster sitting behind his desk.

"Ah Harry my boy. Sit, sit." Harry sat down across from the old man. "Lemon Drop?" He asked.

"No thank you. I don't mean to be rude but why did you need to see me?" Harry asked.

"Ahh to the point I see. Well Harry we want to know if you are happy with your house? We could arrange a re-sorting to perhaps a more suitable house, Gryffindor maybe?" The headmaster asked the twinkle in his eye brightening.

"Uhm no thank you sir, I like my house just fine." A brief flash of anger went through the old mans eyes just short enough for Harry not o notice.

"Are you sure?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes sir. Why do you ask? It seems like Ron Weasley didn't like his house. Maybe you could re-sort him." Harry pointed out.

"Ah yes. Maybe we could. That will be all for now Harry. Go back to your common room." Harry nodded and left leaving Dumbledore to seethe at "the nerve of that boy!". Flitwick led Harry back to the common room before departing to bed. Everyone else was already asleep so Harry read for a while longer and then went to sleep.

Author's Note: Okay, so who saw the Ravenlaw!Harry coming? Also this will not be a Harry/Ginny book because that pairing is dumb as a retarded sheep. This is most likely either going to end up as a Harry/Luna fiction, or a Harry/Hermione fiction. I have yet to decide. As for Ron being in Hufflepuff. He really isn't a key part of my story at this point in time. He will come in at times and may be a key part later but for right now he's useless. I never liked his character anyway. And in case anyone is wondering, Scientia est Vox, means Knowledge is Power, in Latin. Thanks everyone. Read and Review!
