Harry's POV

"Potter, Harry!" Professor McGonagall shouted, The sorting hat finished it's song and the real sorting began, it was now my turn

I slowly walked up the stairs to the podium ducking my head," Kyrios smiled at me and gave me a thumbs up, I smiled back at him, Ron was sneering at me. When he caught me looking he scowled and mouthed "Traitor." I immediately looked down

Everyone was whispering about me when I walked up, Just as I sat down and the hat fell over my eyes I caught people craning their heads to stare at me

"Harry Potter, eh?" a voice filled my mind, I jumped slightly, even though Kyrios had warned me I still was surprised

"You've made friends with the Lestrange Heir, haven't you?" It said, "Oh yes...not many would expect this you know, Lestrange's are known death eaters..."

"I trust Kyrios."

"Oh, you do, do you? Where to put you indeed. Hufflepuff would not be a bad sort for you, no. You are wary of who to trust too, and you are far less innocent than a Hufflepuff. Perhaps Gryffindor?"

"NO, not Gryffindor, not Gryffindor., not Gryffindor. Anything but Gryffindor" I knew Ron would likely be a Gryffindor, I couldn't stand being with him. It would hurt to see him everyday, glaring at me, pushing me around.

"This is definitely Hat stall," Someone said, I closed my eyes tightly

"Hmm...I thought not. It would not quite fit either. You do not have the Gryffindor bravery, not quite as ready to charge into battle. Ah! Ravenclaw, yes...I see it. Quite a thirst for knowledge you have. Perhaps...But Slytherin also would fit. Ambition and cunning, yes you are quite the sort for Slytherin. You could be great you know? Slytherin would lead you to greatness, you would make real friends there. Though you would be outcasted by most other houses. Well I'll leave this up to you young child. Slytherin or Ravenclaw?"

"I...I want to go to Slytherin."

"Slytherin, huh. It would make you great but it could also break you. Well if you're sure...SLYTHERIN!!"

I lifted the hat off and placed it on the stool. Silence. I was met by pure silence. Slowly one person started clapping at the Slytherin table, the sound resonated through the hall. I looked up to see Kyrios clapping,  and slowly after that, Theodore, Daphne and Malfoy started to clap too. In the line Blaise was also clapping for me. Suddenly everyone in at the Green table started clapping as I walked over there. Kyrios scooted over and made space for me. I sat down and he smiled at me and patted me on the back.

"Welcome to Slytherin,"  He whispered

I smiled, I felt like I belonged, I was at home.

3rd Person POV

"Harry Potter, wake up!" Theo said, "or I'll suffocate you with this pillow!"

"Stop...just a few more minutes," Harry mumbled,

"Nope!" Theo said as he threw the pillow at Harry's face, "Wakey, wakey Harrykins."

Harry groaned as he tried to get out of bed, "Fine, fine" he grumbled and rolled off his bed, "Ow!" He yelped when his head hit the floor, "That hurt!"

"Come on! Hurry up or we'll miss breakfast, and it'll be all your fault!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming," he said grumpily
