I seemed to swim through a sea of memories, Draco's mother being driven out by his father, Draco himself receiving harsh words and hits from Lucious. Draco trying to run away when he found out his father was a death eater.

A more recent one, some of the Griffindor kids blaming him for taking Neville's rememberall, when really it was another kid and Draco flew up with it to keep it away from the other Slytherins. The sorting hat telling him he shouldn't be in Slytherin, but he kept begging it, or else his father would skin him alive, not quite literally.

I pulled back in astonishment. "How do you LIVE with all that?" I question, concerned. "A-all what?" He replies nervously. I touche his shoulder, he's wearing his robes so I wasn't touching any skin, "When I touched your hand, I saw it all, or at least, the biggest events." I say, the other three looking on, confused.

"It's my burden to bear. Please, leave it be." Draco's eyes beg that I do as he asks. "Alright, but if you ever want, or need, to talk..." "I'll be fine. You should head out to Hagrid." He changes the subject.

I say bye to them four for now, getting off the train and joining the group near Hagrid. "Hello Hagrid, Harry's told me a lot about you." I smile cheerfully. Then I notice Ginny. "Ginny!" I say. She looks at me like 'how do you know who I am'. "I'm friends with Ron." "Nice to meet you then, ..." she trails off, implying I should tell her my name. "Kittylina Granger, pleasure." We become friends in that moment.

Then Hagrid calls out,"First-years, board the boats!" I get into a boat with Ginny and another kid I don't know the name of.

"When they say Black Lake, they really do mean black." I say, referring to the murky depths. Ginny nods, "Apparently there's a giant squid down there." "Cool! I wonder if I'll ever get to go down there." I reply.

Soon we reach the castle, we are officially at Hogwarts. Professor Mcgonagall gives us a little speech, I think I see Trevor the frog, and we enter the great hall.

Ginny got Griffindor, of course, and the other students went to various houses. Finally, it was my turn. When the sorting hat touched my head, I saw its memories of sorting almost every student Hogwarts has ever had.

"Hmmm... so you can read me as well, very unusual. You would do great in Griffindor, but Slytherin calls your name equally. What say you?" "Either is fine." "Oh, no 'not slytherin' in this one, no prejudice? Well then, GRIFFINDOR AND SLYTHERIN!!" The hat seems surprised at his own words.

"Someone cannot have two houses." Professor Snape says. "It is not possible." The sorting hat replies," It is my place to judge, and she belongs in both. I suggest living in Slytherin and taking classes with Griffindor. It'll help you." The last bit is to me.

I follow its advice and go and sit next to Draco in Slytherin.

That was something of a surprise, yes? Well, I couldn't decide, so I was like, hey! Why not use both? So anyway, hope you like, please comment, vote, follow.
