Dear Mum and Dad

Guess what!

The sorting hat took the longest ever to sort me. Looks like I was there for twenty minutes. I didn't even notice.

And I'm so sorry dad, I know that you wanted me to get into your old house, but you know that it's my personality that counts and… well the hat wanted to put me in Slytherin and…

Love You Too

Yours Harry

Lily watched her husband while he paced back and forth in the living room, completely angry that his son had been made a Slytherin. Sirius had gotten a letter from Remus that he had given to Lily while they watched James make a fuss over the letter.

Lily smiled, after reading the letter, giving it back to Sirius. "Thank you Sirius."

Sirius nodded sipping his tea and looking at his friend who continued to go on and on about going to the school and forcing Dumbledore to re-sort his son, while his daughter was laying in his lap sleeping with her dirty blond haired head on his chest.

Harry smiled while professor McGonagall took the hat off his head. Harry stood and looked at the head table, towards his godfather Severus, who nodded, and then towards Moony. He was clapping and beaming at him. Harry smiled and turned to his table and seeing his housemates standing and screaming "we have Potter" repeatedly, he decided to let the pureblood mask fall and ran towards his table where he was welcomed with open arms (and crushed between the twins).

It took a while until the table calmed down and Harry was able to sit. Harry could see that professor McGonagall was trying to hide the smile on her face.

The sorting continued and when Ron was finally sorted there was an explosion on Harry's table. Ron hastened to sit by Harry's side, his cheeks and ears reddening.

Harry snickered at his friend embarrassment.

"Shut it Harry."

Harry sat at his house table and looked at the head table. He could see Moony and Regulus laughing at a letter that they had in hand.

"Your father freaked out yesterday." Harry looked up to see his cousin, Alphard sitting in front of him. "Did you in any case hinted that you were a Slytherin?"

"Why would I do that to my poor dad?" Harry asked outraged.

"Yeah, I wonder why you did it." The two shared an amused look. "Uncle and daddy received a letter from pappy telling that you may have hinted that the hat put you in Slytherin. Godfather almost climbed the walls, according to pappy's description."

The two shared an amused look. The twins approached and each one sat by Alphard's side.

"Hi, Alphy." Alphard in his dark robes and Slytherin symbol on his chest, looked at his two Gryffindor friends with a sneer.

"It's Alphard, and don't even think about it."

The two lost their grins as they put the powder that they were going to place inside Alphard's clothes back into their pockets.

"We will get you once." The two promised.

"And I will be waiting."

Harry snickered. The two looked at Harry.

"Don't even think about it. We were both raised by the Marauders, you won't catch us that easily."

"By the way, why did it take so long for you to be sorted?" Alphard asked while making sure that his food wasn't poisonous.

Harry scratched the back of his head. "I… we were talking."

"About?"

"Which house I should go to… and other things."

The three looked at him, eyes wide.

"The hat decided to talk with you… in the middle of a sorting?"

"Pretty much."

The twins shared amused looks. "Cool."

"And what could the hat have to tell you?"

Harry shrugged. "That Slytherin could make me great. To which I said that I'm just Harry, I don't want to be something great."

Sunday, September 01, 1991

Tuomas entered his office, opened his journal and immediately wrote in it.

How does he know? He was with me not too long ago and he doesn't show any interest in anything besides attacking a few students.

Tuomas paced in his office looking at the journal, waiting for his answer. 'Damn that bastard vampire.'

He was with you? What did he want?

He wanted to see me… to attract my atten… wait a moment. He didn't even know that I was on the train and I could smell him twice. At midday and at four o'clock. Only the second time did I see him. But he didn't come directly to me… he tried to attack a student.

There was a pause and Tuomas knew that his father was pondering what to write. Until finally one word appear.

Potter?

'How does he know? Can Potter be the reason that Freek has found out about the Stone?'

What about him?

Don't play stupid with me, Tuomas Salazar!

Tuomas flinched, thanking Salazar that his sire wasn't with him.

You must remember the time when the boy had been attacked together with the youngest Weasley. Lord Potter didn't stop bothering you about that encounter for months.

Yes I remember, why are you talking about it now?

There was a silence, Tuomas could feel that his father was fearing what to say next. Tuomas and he didn't talk about Freek for a good reason. That vampire, Salazar's sire, was one of the reasons why their relationship as father and son had been destroyed. During the five years that Tuomas had lived as Tom Marvolo Riddle… a part of Tuomas had died and Salazar had never made him talk about it and maybe that hadn't been the best idea. But Tuomas didn't want to talk either. And now thanks to this brat he was forced to face that horrible memory again.

What exactly did happen when you left for five years, my son?

Tuomas' chest tightened. He should have expected that question, but the endearment… my son

Salazar never called him that in private anymore.

A lot. Why does that matter now?

Did he show you his experiments?

Tuomas looked at the question and he knew that his father didn't mean that, in the underlines the really question was: Did he experiment on you?

Is the boy an experiment? I don't see any difference.

I don't know. But not even Freek would attract the wizards' attention if he doesn't see a reason for it. And you know that they had survived out of pure luck.

Tuomas growled. 'Potter. Everything orbits around that brat.'

I'm not babysitting the brat!

With that he closed the book hard and threw it to the other side of the room, seething.

–CT–

Salazar looked at the journal which had been in his hands but which had suddenly closed and been thrown to the other side of the room, mimicking what his Tuomas had done to the other one.

"My son… what did Freek do to you?"

Padfoot

In case that Harry has forgotten to send you a letter, or knowing that little prankster as I know him, in case he hasn't sent you one, I decided to send you a letter to inform you of Harry's sorting.

Harry took the longest ever to be sorted, but in the end the lion inheritance won. Harry's a Gryffindor. So do some damage control before Prongs makes poor Lily crazy.

Love Moony

Ps: how is our black princess?

Lily smiled, after reading the letter, giving it back to Sirius. "Thank you Sirius."

Sirius nodded sipping his tea and looking at his friends who continued to go on and on about going to the school and forcing Dumbledore to re-sort his son, while his daughter was laying in his lap sleeping with her dirty blond haired head on his chest.

"Well technically he is right, Lily. Harry never did say that he wasn't in Slytherin. At the same time he didn't say that he was, he only hinted. He may be a Gryffindor, but he is a Slytherin at heart."

"Sirius, do you think we should tell James?"

The two looked at their fuming friend, pacing back and forth in the middle of the living room, and then to each other, smirking.

"Nah…"
