As the student filed in, the main topic was Harry and Ron. The whole school was torn between supporting Harry, thinking he’d joined Voldemort, or thought he should go back to helping Dumbledore. Harry stood outside the doors listening to the buzz of the students. What he was going to do needed the element of surprise, otherwise, Dumbledore might interrupt. He listened for the right moment, Dumbledore’s speech before the sorting. Just as he was about halfway through, Harry threw open the doors.
“I, Harrison James Potter, descendant of Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin, claim my birthright!”
The hall watched as there was a flash of light, a few students screamed. When the air cleared, they all turned as one to look at Harry. There he stood, in the middle of the hall, the sword of Gryffindor in his right hand and one of the stone snakes from the dungeon standing guard behind him.
“Hogwarts acknowledges the Heir and welcomes him.” The snake said to the room. With another flash, it vanished back to the dungeon.
Harry could see Dumbledore trying to hide his anger. The other professors sat in shock at what had just happened.
“As heir to Hogwarts, I call for myself to be resorted.” Harry stated.
He calmly walked up the stairs. As he passed the teachers he could hear them whispering.
‘They don’t know what to do with me!’ Harry thought in glee.
“Hello Hat. Shall we try again?” Harry asked the Sorting Hat.
“As you wish Master.” The Hat replied. Any conversation that was starting up again, fell silent at its words.
Harry picked up the hat and placed it on his head.
‘I must say, you have changed milord. I still stand by my original statement though that you would thrive in Slytherin House.’
‘Put me where I will grow the most.’
“Slytherin!” cried the hat.
Harry smiled, put the hat back on the stool, and, sword and all, walked over to the Slytherin table. He took a seat next to Draco.
“Welcome Harry. What a way to make an entrance.” Draco smirked.
Harry returned the smirk, “What did you expect? I am Harry Potter.”
Those who could hear them snickered. Who knew Potter had a sense of humor? As the sorting proceeded, Harry started to get to know his new housemates. He could see that several were not happy that he was in their house, while others looked like they couldn’t be happier, for all the wrong reasons. Harry knew that some of them were squarely for the Dark and they would be doing everything they could to hurt him.
“So, are you scared to be sleeping in the snake pit?” Pansy asked, a dark grin on her face.
Harry laughed, “Do you honestly think I’d be sleeping there? No, as a Hogwarts heir, I get my own quarters.”
“No, mister Potter, you don’t” Dumbledore said from behind him.
“Actually, I do. It’s in the school’s history and make up. Besides, I OWN half of this school. If I want to have my own quarters, I will.” Harry replied with a cool, even tone. He knew that if he showed any emotion, Dumbledore would use it against him. He always had in the past.
“That may be true for an adult,” Dumbledore started, annoyance tinging his voice.
“Legally I am an adult. I was emancipated at the beginning of the summer. You of all people should know that Headmaster.” Harry interrupted, anger starting to tinge his voice in response.
“You can’t stop me. This school answers to me know and I will do as I see fit to make it a better learning environment and safer for those who live behind its walls.” Harry’s voice had gone cold. The whole school was listening to see what would happen.
“Do you wish to be expelled on you first night?” Dumbledore asked. He knew he had the boy there.
“Once again you fail to grasp what I am saying. Here, let me say it louder.” Harry stood, cast Sonorous on himself and said,
“I OWN HALF THIS SCHOOL. THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO ME. BY LAW I CAN MAKE, CHANGE, OR DO WHATEVER I PLEASE HERE AND YOU MUST DO AS I SAY. I MAKE THIS VOW HERE IN FRONT OF EVERYONE, I WILL NOT USE OR ABUSE THIS RIGHT. I WILL DO ALL I CAN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY AND WELLBEING OF ALL WHO LIVE HERE. UNLIKE YOU, HEADMASTER.”
Harry canceled the spell but stayed standing. Everyone could feel the school reverberating, taking in Harry’s vow. Harry looked Dumbledore in the eye. He could see the hidden fear there.
“You feel that? That is the school accepting my vow. It will hold me to it. You had no such bond with this place, no matter what you think. Good night Headmaster. I’m off to my quarters. Draco, Hermione, Ginny, would you like to come with me and help me choose? We can have a sort of house warming party later and invite others over.”
The four teens left the silent hall.
“Do you even know where your quarters are?” Ginny asked.
“Of course! Behind the Founders portraits.” Harry said with a grin.
“Personally, I think you should combine the two rooms. More space for meetings and so on.” Draco stated as they walked to the fifth floor where the Founder portraits were located.
“I agree with Draco. It would make things so much simpler if they were connected.” Hermione stated.
“Fair enough. Here we are.” Harry stopped in front of the group portrait.
“Good evening.” He said with a small bow.
“Good evening heir. We have been waiting for you.” Rowena said from her chair.
“Whose room have you decided to stay in?” Godric asked as he looked at the sword.
“I have decided, since I am heir to two houses, to join them into one.” Harry smiled when he saw Godric and Salazar look at each other.
“We can do that. Give us a few minutes to rearrange things.” Salazar said before he exited to his own frame.
The group watched as the four individual frames shifted around the group portrait. Godric and Salazar’s frames came to rest on the right side of the group frame.
“Here you are. If you want to rearrange or add anything, just let us know.” Godric said as his frame swung forward.
“My frame is a secondary entrance into my potions lab.” Salazar said as the group started to enter.
When they entered, they were greeted by the sight of the largest common room they had ever seen. The walls were lined with bookshelves, interrupted only by the fireplace in the center of the room. The spiral stair case stuck out into the room a bit so that it wouldn’t cut into the bookshelves. On the mantle was a resting place for the sword. Harry set it there, glad to have it with him. There was a set of black couches that could easily sit five people each and four smaller chairs that could sit one or two people. The circled a large coffee table that was perfect for studying. Harry looked to the left and saw several doors. The first he checked was a dueling studio, equipped with everything he would need to train those who would fight on his side. The next was a large office that held a desk and empty bookshelves.
“Check it out! This could come in handy for my property books and master lists.” Harry said.
“It’ll be great for planning meetings and interviewing anyone who wants to join us.” Ginny added as she looked around.
The third door they opened lead to a kitchen.
“The kitchen doesn’t need its own room.” Harry called out.
They watched as the room faded and an open kitchen with an island and bar stools appeared.
“Much better.” Harry said.
Off the kitchen was a small restroom for guests to use. On the right side of the room, there were only two doors. The first lead to a storage room. Inside it was filled with every potion ingredient one could think of.
“Harry, this is amazing!” Draco exclaimed as he looked over the supplies.
“Some of these are extremely rare! Snape would kill to get his hands on some of these.”
Harry shook his head and opened the second door. Behind it was the most decked out potions lab he had ever seen.
“Hey Draco, come look at this.” Harry couldn’t keep the laughter out of his voice. He couldn’t hold it back when he saw both Hermione and Draco geek out over the lab.
“They are more alike than they think.” Ginny stated as she stood next to him.
“Yeah, they are never going to leave.” Harr chuckled. He left his friends to explore the downstairs as he went upstairs. There was only one door. Harry opened it to find a bedroom that would rival the one he had at the Manor. The king-sized bed was covered in hunter green sheets and a black comforter. His wardrobe was filled with his clothes already and all his stuff was neatly put away. He checked the attached bathroom and laughed. It looked just like the one at the Manor only flip flopped! He went back downstairs and rejoined his friends.
“Tomorrow is going to be interesting to say the least.” Draco stated from the couch he was laying on.
“Why do you say that?” Hermione asked as she looked over the books.
“Harry showed that he is well and truly a Lord that out ranks everyone in this school, including me. The old families are going to be paying their respects to him one way or another. They will be deciding how they will interact with him in those moments and if he will help or harm their plans. The rest of the school is going to be watching this and decide from what Harry does and says on how they are going to act around him.”
Harry groaned, partially glad for Narcissa training and dreading what was to come.
“Thanks Draco, at least you gave me a head’s up.” Harry threw a pillow at him, hitting him square in the face.
“How rude.” Draco said before he launched a pillow back at Harry. A small pillow fight erupted between the four before Harry called a truce.
“You all need to head out. Curfew is in a few and I don’t want you all getting into trouble.” They all said good night and headed off to bed.
“Harry, you need to come up with a password.” He heard Godric call from his painting.
“Unbreakable.” Harry stated.
“Very good. Good Night.”
With a yawn, Harry headed off to bed. The next day loomed over him, but he would face it like he had every other challenge in his life, head on.
