Chapter VII

–The Shorting Hat–

Sunday, September 01, 1991

Hogwarts.

"Wow."

"A castle."

"So big."

"It's enormous."

"It's magical."

"It's…"

Harry looked at Hogwarts himself while they approached the castle in the boats. They were right. Hogwarts was all that and more, so much more.

Harry looked behind to the other side of the lake, where he could see a figure with red eyes looking directly at him. Since he had left the train those eyes hadn't left him. It was almost… okay lest be fair and square Harry was terrified. Hello! he was 11 years old and he had a lunatic vampire with a snake around his neck, whom was stalking him.

–CT–

"The twins said that we have to fight a troll."

Harry laughed at that, making the others around look at him at once. "And you believed them?"

"Why wouldn…? Right." Ron's sombre face only made Harry laugh even harder.

"If it's not a troll than you must know what it is, don't you, mister…?"

Harry looked at a girl with bushy hair and big front teeth. "Potter and you?"

The girl blushed as if she just remembered that she hadn't introduced herself. "Hermione Granger."

"Granger… muggle parents, am I right?" at the girl's nod, Harry continued. "Don't worry Miss Granger you will just sit on a stool and put on a hat."

"A hat?" a boy with blond hair and a round face said to Harry's right.

Harry looked at him. "Longbottom, right?" the boy nodded. Harry internally grimaced at once. The Longbottoms were spoken of a lot at home, they were huge adversaries against the new rules that the dark lord was trying to establish. Harry smiled and offered him his hand. "My father talks a lot about your parents, it's a pleasure to finally meet someone of your family, and in my year nonetheless." The boy smiled and took the hand. "Yes it's in Hogwarts, a History. It's the old hat of Gryffindor himself, the four founders put their conscience in the hat so it could sort the new students. Cool hmm?"

"Wicked."

Harry smiled again and turned to Ron, going back to ignoring the rest of the students that were looking at him. A few minutes into the school and he already had the first year on their knees for him.

Professor McGonagall, a very strict old witch, returned. "Follow me now, we are ready to receive you."

Queued, two and two, they followed her. When they entered the Great Hall their mouths fell open when they saw the magnificence and majesty of the hall. There were five big tables, the four houses' tables side by side and there was one at the top, the professor's table.

Just like Harry said, a stool and a hat were in front of the staff table waiting for them.

Harry let his eyes travel the staff table, godfather Severus and uncle Regulus were on the end of the table, they were both looking at him. There were also a few professors that Harry had only heard the adults talk about. There was, obviously, in the middle in the headmaster's chair, Albus Dumbledore, with his white hair and beard, blue twinkling eyes, half-moon glasses and of course his odd choice of clothing, tonight it was a red cloak with orange and brown frogs. Not far from Dumbledore were uncle Moony and the new professor, professor Marvy.

The entire Hall was in great silence looking at the hat, so Harry looked at it too. Then the hat twitched. A rip near the brim opened wide like a mouth — and the hat began to sing:

"Oh, you may not think I'm pretty,

But don't judge on what you see,

I'll eat myself if you can find

A smarter hat than me.

You can keep your bowlers black,

Your top hats sleek and tall,

For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat

And I can cap them all.

There's nothing hidden in your head

The Sorting Hat can't see,

So try me on and I will tell you

Where you ought to be.

You might belong in Gryffindor,

Where dwell the brave at heart,

Their daring, nerve, and chivalry

Set Gryffindors apart;

You might belong in Hufflepuff,

Where they are just and loyal,

Those patient Hufflepuffs are true

And unafraid of toil;

Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,

if you've a ready mind,

Where those of wit and learning,

Will always find their kind;

Or perhaps in Slytherin

You'll make your real friends,

Those cunning folk use any means

To achieve their ends.

So put me on! Don't be afraid!

And don't get in a flap!

You're in safe hands (though I have none)

For I'm a Thinking Cap!"

Everyone applauded. Granger and Longbottom approached Harry at once. Harry played dumb to this, inside he grimaced.

Professor McGonagall now stepped forward holding a long roll of parchment.

"When I call your name, you will put on the hat and sit on the stool to be sorted," she said. "Abbott, Hannah!"

A pink-faced girl with blonde pigtails stumbled out of line, put on the hat, which fell right down over her eyes, and sat down. A moment's pause —

"HUFFLEPUFF!" shouted the hat.

The table on the right cheered and clapped as Hannah went to sit down at the Hufflepuff table. Harry saw a ghost that looked like a Fat Friar wave merrily at her.

"Bones, Susan!"

"HUFFLEPUFF!" shouted the hat again, and Susan scuttled off to sit next to Hannah.

"Boot, Terry!"

"RAVENCLAW!"

The table second from the left clapped this time; several Ravenclaws stood up to shake hands with Terry as he joined them.

"Brocklehurst, Mandy" went to Ravenclaw too, but "Brown, Lavender" became the first new Gryffindor, and the table on the far left exploded with cheers; Harry could see the twins catcalling which made him smile.

"Bulstrode, Millicent" then became a Slytherin.

"Finch-Fletchley, Justin!"

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

Sometimes, Harry noticed, the hat shouted out the house at once, but at other times it took a little while to decide. "Finnigan, Seamus," the sandy-haired boy next to Harry in the line, sat on the stool for almost a whole minute before the hat declared him a Gryffindor.

"Granger, Hermione!"

Granger almost ran to the stool and jammed the hat eagerly on her head.

"GRYFFINDOR!" shouted the hat. Ron groaned.

When Neville Longbottom was called, he fell over on his way to the stool. The hat took a long time to decide with Neville. When it finally shouted, "GRYFFINDOR," Neville ran off still wearing it, and had to jog back amid gales of laughter to give it to "MacDougal, Morag."

Draco Malfoy swaggered forward when his name was called and got his wish at once: the hat had barely touched his head when it screamed, "SLYTHERIN!"

Malfoy went to join his friends Crabbe and Goyle, looking pleased with himself. If Harry remembered correct Malfoy was Alphard's cousin and from time to time Harry, Alph and Luna had stayed with the Malfoys because of those purebloods parties.

There weren't many people left now. "Moon"… , "Nott"… , "Parkinson"… , then a pair of twin girls, "Patil" and "Patil"… , then "Perks, Sally-Anne"… , and then, at last —

"Potter, Harry!"

Harry stepped forward, sitting of the stool. The hat dropped over his eyes making him see the black inside of the hat. He waited.

"Hmm," said a small voice in his ear. "Difficult. Very difficult. Plenty of courage and chivalry, I see. Hard worker, with patience and loyal also. Not unintelligent either. There's talent, A my goodness, yes — and a nice thirst to prove yourself, now that's interesting… And a Parseltongue at that. So where shall I put you?"

–CT–

'Where is it? Where did I put it?'

Salazar was starting to get uneasy. He had already turned his office upside down and he couldn't find the letter from Harry. He had wanted to write a letter to his son when he had noted that he couldn't leave the house, and that was when he found that the letter that young Harry had written him that same day had disappeared.

–CT–

Dear Lord Erioth

I wrote to you this letter to inform you, and to thank you for your help, that I found out what the philosopher's stone is.

I expect this Christmas holidays to finally have the promised conversation.

Yours

Just Harry

'Just Harry… what a mundane name for such a powerful human. Who calls his own son Just?' thought the short red eyed, dark brown haired and white skinned vampire while he read the letter that his guinea pig had written not so long ago. 'Philosopher's stone hmm? Sorry Sally, but Just and the stone are mine.'

–CT–

If Salazar was correct then it was his sire that had taken the letter…

Salazar shivered. He really had to send a letter to Tuomas. With all the experiments that his sire used to make, who would know what he could do if he got his hand on the philosopher's stone?

Salazar grabbed a diary, his son old diary and immediately wrote in it.

–CT–

Tuomas looked at the boy on the stool, he was there a long time already, when he felt the diary on his pocket starting to warm. He took it out, scowling and read what his ancestor had written, only to lose all of the color on his face.

"Anything wrong Ross?" when Tuomas didn't respond at once. "Ross?"

Tuomas looked up at Remus Black, nee Lupin.

"Nothing serious Black." He said, making sure to keep the American accent.

He looked at Tuomas for a full minute. Finally he nodded and said, after he looked to the brat on the stool again. "If you're sure."

Right for a moment Tuomas had forgotten his new name. But now he had things more important to worry about. He looked back to the diary in his hand, to his ancestor perfect calligraphy, to the disturbing news that his ancestor had written:

Freek Abraham Kadouch knows of the Philosopher's Stone.
