Bab 4: New Alliances
Malfoy was at a loss and didn't know what to say, so he decided to shut up. He was unsure of what to think of the new Potter, but one thing for sure was the fact that he hated him. Soon everyone started eating, Daphne and Harry began talking with each other and Tracy also joined in.
Adrian Potter was staring at his brother from the Gryffindor table, he couldn't believe his brother was a Slytherin. He had been on the train because Dumbledore told him to socialize and meet people but he never saw his brother there, the closest thing he had heard was that he refused his autograph. Dumbledore told him that he might meet his brother soon but he didn't expect this guy to be his brother. The guy who refused his autograph and was sorted into Slytherin, tomorrow he would go to his brother and tell him to get resorted. It's embarrassing for the boy-who-lived to have a snake for a brother!
Another person looking at Harry was Professor Snape, Snape had decided to stop his hatred of James Potter long ago, upon reflection he realized that if Potter had grown up and apologized then he could get over it as well, at least for Lily's sake. But looking at the boy-who-lived, Adrian Potter, had caused old feelings of hate to bubble up.
The brat was more arrogant then James Potter ever was. For years he had to put up with the brat walking around like it was his castle, throughout all the time he wondered why the elder twin wasn't living in the castle as well. He looked at the twin and while he may look more like James Potter, he had the eyes of his mother. He didn't walk with arrogance and he was sorted into Slytherin of all houses, maybe this Potter was different, he would wait and reserve judgment.
Dumbledore was also deep in thought, he couldn't believe Harry Potter had ended up in Slytherin, this was not what he expected. He figured that if Harry hadn't died yet then Dumbledore could use him, he would appear as the kind and grandfatherly mentor who he could look up to. Then Dumbledore could eventually convince Harry to sacrifice himself for the greater good, but he wasn't sure if this would still work.
Harry wasn't in Gryffindor, he was in Slytherin and from the looks of it he was getting along well with the other members of the house. He would wait and see, hopefully he wouldn't have to change too much of his plans.
Harry and Daphne had met in the common room the next morning, they both agreed to wait for Tracy to come down, and once she did the trio made their way to breakfast. They sat at the Slytherin table.
"Not a morning person?" Harry asked Tracy who looked like she wanted nothing more than to go back to sleep
"No" She rubbed her eyes "I don't get how anyone can be"
"I've just always woken up early" Harry shrugged
"So have I" Daphne added "I was..."
"Hey" Hermione interrupted as she came up to the three "why didn't you tell me you were Harry Potter?"
"Simply because the result would've been me being stuck in an enclosed place while being bombarded with questions" Harry replied "at least here I can escape if I want"
"But Adrian Potter isn't supposed to have a brother" She said "you're not mentioned in any of the books that mentioned him"
"Those books never mentioned the fact that you exist, yet here you are" Harry responded "so Daphne, looking forward to classes?"
"Yes" Daphne nodded "I'm really looking forward to charms class, I've heard that the teacher is really nice"
"Professor Flitwick, right?" Harry asked "I've heard that he is a former duelling champion, my mum was good at charms and my father was brilliant at transfigurations. I think my best subject would be one of those two or defence against the dark arts"
"Hey, don't ignore me!" Hermione demanded
"I'm sorry" Harry said "but I wasn't ignoring you, I had rather hoped that you had taken the hint and left"
"Yes, please go" Tracy said "it's the morning and I am too tired to hear you shouting" Hermione huffed and walked off.
"She's quite irritating isn't she?" Daphne spoke once Hermione had left
"My mother did her best at school to make muggleborns seem smart and likeable" Harry sighed "and that girl is going to throw all of her hard work down the bloody drain" Severus Snape had walked up to the three, he pretended not to hear what Potter said about his mother but internally he agreed.
"Here are your timetables" He handed them each a timetable
"Thank you sir" The three said. With a nod, Snape left, Potters words were still ringing in his ear.
