"Come on Harry! We're going to be late for the Sorting!" Hermione exclaimed to Ron and Harry. The trio were currently rushing to the dinning hall, eager to see the sorting. It was their third year, and they were more than happy to be back at Hogwarts.

Hermione, Harry, and Ron pushed open the hall doors, and took a seat at the Gryffindor table. Dumbledore rose up from his seat, and made his way to the Podium. The hall instantly quieted.

"Greetings everyone. Welcome back for another year of Hogwarts. Before we start with the sorting, there is one new announcement I must make." Dumbledore said. He paused, and looked at the entire room. His eyes rested on Harry. Hermione noticed, and nudged Harry. Dumbledore continued.

"Before we sort the first years, I have decided to resort everyone, again!" As soon as he finished, the hall was in an uproar. Harry, Hermione, and Ron were shocked. Harry started to freak out.

"This cant be happening! I'll be put into Slytherin if I get resorted!" Harry exclaimed to Hermione and Ron.

"And ill probably be put into Ravenclaw! I don't want to leave Gryffindor!" Hermione exclaimed. Ron started to panic.

"We won't be in the same houses!" Ron exclaimed.

"Silence!" Dumbledore yelled. The hall grew quiet. Dumbledore cleared his throat.

"Do not be so alarmed. Some of you may or may not stay in the same house you are in. I have decided to resort you because of the new rise of events on the dark side. I believe it has changed your personalities since your first year. I want everyone in Hogwarts to be comfortable in a new house. With that, I will have Professor McGonagall resort everyone. Please be patient." And with that Dumbledore left the podium to sit back down. Minerva walked to the front of the room, and laid the Sorting hat on a stool.

Minerva cleared her throat. " To make this simple, I will need everyone to leave their table, and group into the back of the hall. When I call your name, please run up to the stool, and wait to be sorted. Then quickly run to your corresponding table. We have a lot of names, so lets make this quick." Minerva finished, and the Sorting Hat started to yell out names randomly.

Meanwhile, Harry, Hermione, and Ron were in the back of the group, anxiously waiting for their names. After half an hour, Harry's name was called.

"Harry Potter!" The Sorting Hate yelled. Harry ran down the hall and hopped on the stool. Minerva placed the hat on his head. The Sorting Hat started to yell.

"Harry Potter! Back at last! I was really disappointed that you didn't want to be put in Slytherin. You would have made so many good friends there. Even allies." He yelled. Everyone murmured. Usually the hat would speak into the mind of the wearer, but for some reason, he felt like humiliating Harry by outing him out. The hat continued.

"I don't care what your preference is, anymore. I'm going to put you where you will grow. You will meet some very peculiar people, former enemies will become closer than ever. So with that, it better be Slytherin!" The hat finished. Harry sat there shell-shocked. Minerva took the hat off, and Harry slowly made his way to the Slytherin table. So far, he was the only formed Gryffindor at the table. Blaise waved his hand.

"Hey Potter! Sit with me. Don't worry I don't bite." Blaise motioned to Harry. Harry made his way next to Blaise. Blaise offered his hand.

"My names Blaise. But you probably already knew that. I'm one of the neutrals. You won't have to fear me." Blaise told Harry. Harry eased up, and shook Blaise's hand. They continued to watched the sorting.

"Hermione Granger!" The hat yelled. Hermione ran to the hat, her hair bouncing as she ran. She climbed on the stool, and the hat resorted her.

"Better be, Ravenclaw!" The hat yelled. Hermione walked to the Ravenclaw table. Many others congratulated her, but she just sat down, and waited for Ron's sorting.

The hat continued. "Ron Weasley!" It yelled. Ron ran to the stool, and the hat was placed on his head.

"Another Weasley. I know just where you belong. Better be, Gryffindor!" Minerva took the hat off, and Ron walked back to the Gryffindor table. He was somewhat relieved, but at the same time, sad because Hermione and Harry weren't going to be in the same house.

"Draco Malfoy!" The hat yelled. Draco sauntered to the hat, but before he even sat on the stool, the hat told him.

"Don't even get up here. Better be Slytherin." The hat said unamused. Draco smirked, and walked to the Slytherin table. He was meet with a disgusting display.

"Harry Potter in Slytherin. Who would've guessed." He looked at Blaise, who was sitting next to him.

"Blaise, why are you sitting with Potter?" Draco asked. Blaise cocked his eye.

"He's a good person, and whether you like it or not, he's a Slytherin. Now you can sit down, or you can leave." Blaise told him. Draco gave Blaise the stink eye, and sat on the opposite side of Blaise. The two were childhood friends, and somehow Blaise was always able to keep Draco somewhat in check.

The sorting continued for another hour, and the first years were sorted lastly. Dumbledore walked back to the Podium, and gave another speech.

"I would like to once again inform everyone that the Forbidden forest is in fact, forbidden. And anyone wandering after hours will be punished. Now let the feast, BEGIN!" Dumbledore ended grandly. All the tables filled with food. Harry looked at the food in suspicion.

He nudged Blaise. "What's this food? It looks so... different." Harry whispered. Harry and Blaise ignored the constant whispered among the table, no doubt talking about the two.

"Those a deviled eggs, and that's Caviar. Its fish eggs basically. Try some." Blaise told Harry.

"How come this table has such different types of food?" Harry asked. Blaise chuckled.

"Each table has a different menu. Slytherins, until now, where a Purblood house. And most Purebloods ate very fancy food. Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, and Gryffindors are a mixture of Pure and mixed blood. The Ravenclaw table gets a lot of healthy brain foods, like seafood and white meat. Gryffindors are more athletic in personality, so they're given red meats. Hufflepuffs are the grey area, and are pretty much given white and dark meat, salads, and the occasional fancy platter. The houses are quite divided when it come to dinner and breakfast." Blaise informed Harry. Draco sneered.

"I would've thought the famous Harry Potter would know what this is. But then again he practically lives with Weasels, so he probably doesn't even know what a plate looks like." Draco taunted. Harry's blood was boiling, but he calmed himself.

"Pick at me all you want, but the Weaslys are marked territory. Be careful what you say. We live in the same house now, so sleep with one eye open if you plan on disrespecting them." Harry warned. He then continued to fill his plate with various foods, and ate dinner in silence. Draco sat there a little confused. Harry was usually quick to fight Draco, but that was the most calm thing he's even said to him. Draco didn't say anything else, and ate his food in silence.

When dinner was done, the Heads of the Houses guided the new students to their dormitories, since some of the Prefects were resorted.

Snape showed everyone to the dungeons.

"I will not allow any fights in the dungeons. If you have disputes, come to me, and I'll supervise any duels. I've got a list of names that Dumbledore has told to group together. There was some remodeling, so now every dormitory will have 3 occupants, with their own beds. Whatever group I put you in is final." Snape started to read off the names, and the students headed to their dorms.

"Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini, and... Harry Potter." Snape finished. He eyed Harry as he walked off to his dorm. As soon as the door was closed, Draco erupted.

"How could Dumbledore do this! It's an outrage. Who would want to live in a dorm with 3 other people, INCLUDING POTTER! Is he trying to kill us!" Draco exclaimed angrily. Blaise spoke up.

"It'll be fine, Draco. If every other can do it, then so can we." Blaise said. Draco looked mortified.

"What has happened to you? You've gone soft." Draco accused. Blaise snickered. Harry just watched on in slight amusement.

"I didn't go soft, Draco! Fame and hatred is not everything! You have got to mature! You can't go hating everyone. That includes Harry. So I suggest you start bonding, or the rest of this year is going to be hell." Blaise said. He walked over to Draco, and pushed him to Harry. Harry got a little bit scared, and scooted back on his bed. Blaise shoved Draco's face so Harry and him were looking each other in the eyes.

"Look at his eyes. You are going to be looking into those eyes for the next 4 years, so I suggest you get used to them." Blaise huffed. Draco fixated on Harry's green eyes, and Harry focused on Draco's grey eyes.

Harry's face softened. Draco looked into Harry's eyes. Something in Draco clicked.

'Wow, his eyes are really pretty.' Draco thought to himself.

Harry looked into Draco's eyes. 'I never noticed his eyes before. They're so grey, yet so intricate.' Harry thought to himself. Blaise smirked, and let go of Draco. Draco's face lingered for a moment, and then he stood back up. His face blushed a little, and he went back to his bed. Without a word, he got dressed into his pajamas, and laid in bed. Harry and Blaise did the same.

Draco clapped twice, and the lights went off. All of a sudden, Draco spoke out quietly.

"Goodnight Blaise... goodnight Potter." Harry and Blaise smiled a little. And said goodnight back.

Soon, the three fell asleep, and morning came.


"Wake up!" Draco yelled. He threw a pillow at Blaise and Harry. The two groaned, and got up. Harry looked at the clock.

"It's only 6:15. Why must we be up so early?" Harry groaned. Draco clicked his tongue.

"Slytherins must always look presentable, and always be early. At minimum, it should take half an hour to become decent. And frankly you look like you've never seen a comb before." Draco said. Blaise got up quickly.

"Don't fight it. You'll get used to it. When you get into the rhythm, it becomes kinda fun to get all dressed and proper." Blaise added. Harry got back up, and looked through his clothes. He found his new Slytherin uniform, and laid it out on the bed.

"Where's the locker rooms?" Harry asked. Draco looked confused.

"What do you mean? We have our own bathrooms. Doesn't every other house have the same?" Draco inquired. Harry shook his head.

"No, we all have locker rooms." Harry answered. The three walked to the bathroom. There were three single showers, three sinks, and one bath tub.

The three got undressed, and started showering. Blaise was finished first. He got out, dried off, and quickly combed through his hair, and left the bathroom. Harry and Draco finished at the same time, and exited the showers with towels around their waists. The two made eye contact, but looked away. Harry and Draco blushed a little, but the other didn't notice. They awkwardly went to their separate sinks, leaving Blaise's in between them. Draco started to blow dry his head, and add product to shape it. Harry watched Draco out of the corner of his eye as he brushed his teeth. He looked into the mirror, and played around with his hair to form it a little. Draco looked over and sighed.

"Honestly Potter, you really have never used a comb." Draco said.

"I like my hair messy looking." Harry said back, slightly offended. Draco sighed again, and walked over to Harry.

"Here. You can't leave looking like that." Draco took a spare comb, and brushed through his hair. He then took some of his hair gel, and spiked his hair a little, then blow dried it. Throughout the ordeal. Draco's eyes would flicker to Harry's eyes. Harry had a little blush on his face, but excused it as the heat in the bathroom. When Draco was done, he clapped his hands, and handed Harry a mirror.

"There you go. Its tidy, yet messy." Draco concluded. Harry smiled.

"Woah. I look so different. Yet I look cool. Thanks Malfoy." Harry said embarrassed. The two quickly sprayed some cologne and left the bathroom and got changed. Blaise waited for them, and then they all left to walk to the dinning hall together. They got some weird looks. Harry was on the right of Blaise, and Draco was on the left. When the three entered the hall, Harry immediately spotted Hermione and Ron waiting for him by the door. Hermione ran to Harry, and Ron walked to him.

Hermione jumped into Harry's arms, and gave him a hug.

"Oh Harry I missed you! How was it?" Hermione asked. Harry chuckled a little. Blaise and Draco stood awkwardly next to Harry. Ron walked to the group.

"Get lost, will you Malfoy. Don't need you pestering him." Ron said rudely to Malfoy.

Harry's brows furrowed. "Get off it Ron, don't talk to him like that." Harry spoke up. Draco and Ron looked surprised. Blaise interjected with a smile.

"We have made amence last night. Please refrain from fighting. Or you'll have three Slytherins to deal with." Blaise said. He kept it nice, but added a little threat at the end to get the point across.

"Come sit when you're done talking." Draco told Harry. He and Blaise walked off, but Draco sneaked a little smirk towards Ron as he left.

"What was that all about Harry?" Ron asked.

"Yeah, I've never seen you two be that close without throwing insults." Hermione added. Harry scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

"Well I realized that I'm in a little danger now that I'm living in the dungeons. So I made some allies. Maybe even friends." Harry said. Hermione smiled.

"Well I'm happy you and Malfoy are getting along. Just make sure he keeps his taunts to a minimum." Hermione said.

Harry chuckled. "Don't worry, he won't be giving you guys any trouble. We live in the same dorm, so he knows it would be wise not to make me mad." Harry said. Ron broke out.

"What is with you Harry? All of a sudden you're siding with the snakes. And allies? You're even sounding like a true Slytherin. All that crap is going to your head." Ron said angrily. Harry got frustrated.

"I've always thought like this. And what do you mean 'the snakes?' If you haven't noticed, I'm in Slytherin now. It would be unwise if I didn't make some friends." Harry huffed. "I'll see you two later." Harry ended. He walked off, and sat back down next to Blaise.

"Bloody hell, Hermione. What's up his arse?" Ron said. Hermione scowled.

"Honestly Ron. What's up yours?" She said back. She then walked back to the Ravenclaw table, and sat next to Luna, leaving Ron by himself. Ron stalked off to the table, and sat next to Fred and George.


"Ron didn't give you any trouble, did he?" Blaise asked as Harry sat down.

"He's got a broom up his arse right now. He'll come around hopefully." Harry said. Draco handed a piece of parchment to Harry.

"Proffesor McGonogall handed this out while you were over there. Its the time tables." Draco said. Harry took the piece and read.

Potter, Harry

Double Potions
Herbology
Double Care of Magical Creatures
Transfiguration
Defense Against the Dark Arts


Harry inwardly groaned at Potions. 'Why do I always have Snape in the morning?' Harry thought to himself. He started to fill his plate, and eat. He heard a laughing voice.

"Well look who it is. Harry Potter. Oh and look. He hiding next to a neutral. How pathetic. You won't make it through the year. Not one chance." Pansy snickered. Harry ignored her, and continued eating. Crabbe got up from his seat, and walked towards Harry. Suddenly, he grabbed Harry by his collar, and pulled him out of his seat, forcing Harry to stand up. Goyle waddled up to them, and punched Harry in the gut. Harry dropped and crumpled on the ground. Ron and Hermione, and most of the people in the room noticed, and watched on. Ron was about to go over there when Draco stood up, and helped Harry. Draco took his hands, and force him to stand up. Draco helped him back to his seat.

"You okay?" Blaise whispered to Harry.

"Never better." Harry wheezed out. Draco looked back at Crabbe and Goyle.

"What the fuck is your problem? Who told you you could punch him, hhmm?" Draco asked, not really looking for an answer. Draco punched Crabbe in the nose, and kicked Goyle in the gut. He left them on the ground. Draco motioned for Blaise to shoot over, and Draco sat down next to Harry. Harry was surprised at Draco's outburst.

The room, seemingly still, woke back up, and people started to talk; mostly about what just happened. Draco looked at Harry hesitantly.

"You okay?" Draco asked. Harry just nodded, and continued to eat his breakfast. By the time breakfast was over, Harry felt better, and the three headed to Professor Snape's classroom.


Harry, Draco, and Blaise had double potions with the Gryffindors. Harry, Draco, and Blaise ended up sitting in the front of the class. Harry in between the two. Ron walked into the class with Dean and Seamus. They sat down behind Harry, Draco, and Blaise. Snape walked into the classroom, and class commenced.

"Settle down. Today we will be brewing Amortenia; the strongest love potion. Get into groups of two, and start working. You will find your ingredients on page 178. When you present it, tell me what you smell. Whoever creates the best one will demonstrate its powers by giving their partner a drop that will last 20 minutes, so the rest of the class can see just how powerful it really is. Begin." Snape concluded. He sneered as he saw people scrambling to find a partner.

"I'm gonna partner up with Ron. He seems pretty lonely." Blaise said. That left Draco and Harry.

"You want to be partners?" Harry asked Draco hesitantly. Draco looked a little surprised, but accepted his offer. Harry went off to gather the ingredients, and Draco prepared their area.

Snape looked at the exchange in disgust. 'How could Draco say yes to Potter? They hate each other.' Snape thought to himself. He silently watched over the class, and kept an eye on Draco and Potter.

Harry came back with the ingredients, and the two started.

After half an hour, Draco and Harry finished. They looked around. A couple people failed to make the potion. Dean and Seamus's blew up, and Ron and Blaise's was a deep purple, instead of a shear pink.

Snape walked around the room, and graded everyone. When he came to Draco and Harry's he smelled the potion, and gave a face of disgust.

"Very well. You two made an adequate love potion. What do you smell?" Snape asked. Everyone watched them since they were the only ones the made it correctly. Draco and Harry leaned into the pot to smell its fumes.

"I would be able to tell you if Harry didn't spray so much cologne." Draco said. Harry looked offended.

"I have too much on? You're practically radiating cologne." Harry said back. The classmates snickered, but Draco and Harry didn't catch on. Snape scrunched his nose in disgust.

"Potter, go to the back of the room so Malfoy can clearly distinct what it smells like." Snape ordered. Harry walked to the back of the classroom.

"It stills reeks of his cologne." Draco said puzzled. The class started laughing.

"Potter come back, Draco go to the back." Snape ordered. Harry came to the potion.

"I'm telling you, it still reeks of his cologne." Harry told Snape. Snape sighed.

"Go join Draco in the back." Snape said. The class was practically buzzing with murmurs and giggles.

"Do you still smell it?" Snape asked. Harry and Draco shook their heads. The class busted out in full blown laughter. Harry and Draco looked around confused. Snape motioned for the two to come back. The class went quiet.

"Congratulations, you two get a 100 for sheer dumb luck. Not that Mr. Malfoy needs any." Snape taunted. "So who will be the tester?" Snape drawled. Harry stepped forward.

"I'll test it out. Who will I become infatuated with?" Harry asked. Snape clicked his tongue.

"With your partner of course. Mr. Malfoy, please hand me a strand of your hair." Snape asked. Draco hesitantly pulled one out, and gave it to Snape. He dropped it into the potion, and got a vial ready for Harry.

"Remember, only one drop. It will last 20 minutes." Snape repeated, and reluctantly handed him a vial. Harry nervously poured a drop onto his tongue, and swallowed. Snape stood back, and everyone watched.

Harry hiccupped. "I don't feel very different." Harry said. He set down the vial. Draco spoke up.

"Are you sure?" Draco asked. Harry's attention shifted to Draco. He all of a sudden cracked a giant smile. Harry jumped into Draco's arms.

"Aw, I just love you so much, Draco!" Harry yelled out. Harry knocked Draco over, and Harry was hugging Draco on the ground. The class erupted with laughter. Ron and Blaise where laughing the most.

"Potter! Get off! You're crushing me." Draco exclaimed. Harry looked at Draco, and a tear rolled down his cheek.

"Why are you calling me Potter? Why won't you call me Harry?" Harry said whimpering. Harry got off of him, and stood up. "Why are you being so mean all of a sudden Draco?" Harry cried out like a child. The class got even louder with laughter. Draco panicked, and stood up. He tried to make Harry stop crying.

"I'm sorry Potter, I mean Harry. Please stop crying." Draco rushed. He was really embarrassed at Harry's outburst. Ron and Blaise where practically dying in the corner from laughing so hard.

Harry stopped crying, and cracked a smile. He ran to Draco, and jumped on his back. Draco instinctively grabbed onto Harry's legs so they both wouldn't fall. The class was laughing so much, that some had to run out of the room to go to the bathroom.

"I knew you loved me Draco!" Harry yelled happily. He then gave Draco a firm kiss on the cheek.

Snape caught himself when he almost cracked a smile at the humiliation.

"Quiet down!" Snape yelled. It got the entire classes attention. "Class is dismissed." Snape concluded. Draco was shocked. He shakily walked to Snape, with Harry on his back.

"Can't you stop this? This cant go on for another 15 minutes." Draco tried to reason. Snape shook his head.

"You'll just have to deal with it in your next class." Snape told him. Draco looked up towards Harry.

"Please get off my back. I will not carry you to class." Draco said. Harry giggled, and got down, but immediately clung to Draco left arms. Draco sighed, and they walked out of the classroom.

Walking down the hall was terrifying. Word quickly spread in a matter of minutes, and people where laughing at the dazed Draco, and a clinging Harry. The two awkwardly made their way to Herbology.

All the Slytherins noticed, and everyone was snickering. Draco's face was really red from embarrassment. Although secretly, he kind of liked it when Harry kissed him. In a weird way. Blaise walked over to them.

"Well isn't it the happy couple." Blaise teased.

"Sod off." Draco told him.

"Did you realized it yet?" Blaise asked.

Draco cocked his eyebrow. "Realize what?" Blaise shook his head laughing, and focused his attention on Filch who just entered the room.

"Professor Sprout is out because of a health issue, so you have a free period today." Filch informed everyone, then left.

"Yay!" Harry exclaimed childishly. He planted another kiss on Draco's cheek. Blaise laughed, and so did everyone else.

"How come you don't stop him?" Blaise asked mischievously.

"Because he'll start crying again, and I don't want to have to deal with it." Draco answered. After another 10 minutes or Blaise teasing Draco, Harry came back to his senses.

"Where am I?" Harry asked. He looked down at him and Draco's intertwined hands, and snatched his hand away. His face was red from embarrassment. Draco and Blaise noticed.

"You back to normal finally?" Blaise asked. Harry looked around.

"What happened?" Harry asked. Draco cracked a smile, and started to laugh.

"Don't worry about it. We have a free period." Draco answered. Harry didn't ask anymore questions, but he did notice that the rest of the class was talking about them.

The rest of the day went by somewhat smoothly, except for the fact that Draco and Harry were very awkward around each other. Dinner finally came about, and the three entered the dinning hall. Hermione walked over to Harry, and Draco and Blaise sat down in their normal places.

"What happened Harry? The rumors are crazy." Hermione asked.

"What rumors?" Harry was really confused.

"The rumors that you kissed Draco a whole bunch after taking Amortentia." Hermione filled him in. Harry thought for a moment, and he finally remembered.

"Wait I kissed Malfoy when I was drugged up on Amortentia? No way!" Harry said. Freaking out a little. Although he was kind of happy in a weird way that he managed to kiss him without getting punched.

Hermione nodded her head.

"Well, no use talking more about it. We should meet up soon. Maybe for a Hogsmeade trip with Ron." Hermione suggested. She walked back to her table, and sat next to Luna. Harry walked over, and hesitantly sat down. He didn't even look at Draco.

"Hermione just told me what I did when I was out of my mind. Sorry about that, Malfoy." Harry apologized awkwardly. Draco laughed.

"Its Draco, not Malfoy." Draco said in return. Harry blushed, and they ate their food in relative awkward silence. When dinner was done, everyone headed to their dorm to finish up any homework, and they fell asleep.

"Goodnight Blaise, goodnight... Draco." Harry said hesitantly.

"Goodnight Harry." Draco said.
