harry potter (my version), linzey [book recommendations based on other books .TXT] 📗

I'm Malfoy. Draco Malfoy." i heard a boy try to cover up a laugh.

"Think my name's funny do you? No need to ask yours. Red hair and a hand-me-down robe? You must be a Weasley. You'll soon find out that some wizarding families are better than others,"i felt bad for ron especaly since i was giggling too.

"Potter. You don't want to making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there."
he held out his hand for Harry to shake, but he doesn’t take it. way too go harry.

"I think I can tell the wrong sort for my self thanks." ok he is going to be an awesome friend.

"We're ready for you. Follow me" McGonagall said

then she walks up to draco again and taps him on the shoulder. he goes back to his place after shooting Harry a dirty look. well there is going to be some rivalry here. i hope i can still be friends with both of them.

me and the other first years filed in after McGonagall. Candles float in midair, and the ceiling looks like the night sky. it was beautiful. All the other students watched us file in. we waited for all of us to be sorted.

"It's not real the ceiling. It's just bewitched to look like the night outside. I read about it in Hogwarts, A History." hermoine said to me

"its still beautiful" i said while sharing at the ceiling.

we reach the front of the Hall where all the teachers sit at a long table. They come to a stop and McGonagall goes up the few steps to stand beside a stool with a hat on it.

"Will you wait along here please. Now before we begin, Professor Dumbledore would like to say a few words."

"I have a few start-of-term notices I wish to announce. The first years please note, that the Dark Forest is strictly forbidden to all students. Also, our caretaker, Mr. Filch, has asked me to remind you that the third floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds to all who do not wish to die a most painful death. Thank you." He just sits down like he didnt just tell us we will die if we went to a forbiden area.

i turn around and see draco right behind me. i smile and glance the other way.

"hemione, jess, is that michael and josey"

"were" they said while searching for the guys i saw. jess had a huge crush on michael and hermoine has had a huge crush on josey.

"who are they" draco asked in a rude voice.

"there they are, hey michal, josey, over here" jess said waving at them to come twards us.

"who are they" draco said very jealous.

"you'll meet them right now, and when did you get all jealous"

"i am not jealous." he snapped at me.

"denial" i said streaching the i and l.

"i am not in denial"

"dening denial"

they came over and i hugged them both. "michael, josey what are you doing here"

"oh nothing were just making a rocket out of napkins that will launch to mars in about 1 hour. what do you think were doing luna"

"luna, i thought your name was jenna" draco inturupted.

"will you stop being jealous all the time. my last name is moon so my friends call me luna sometimes ok. i didnt think i needed to get your permission for a nickname"

"you guys can actually make a rocket out of napkins"

"are you stupid or something" i cant belive michael just said that. draco was angry. he walked up tp michael and tried to hit him. but i stoped him.

"draco that rocket thing was sarcasm." i said trying to explain.

"what does that mean"

"it is a Muggle thing" i told him. he looked at me confused. just then McGonagall picks up the hat off the stool and looks at a list of names in her other hand

"When I call your name you will come forth, I shall place the Sorting Hat on your head, and you will be sorted into your houses." she looked at the list "Hermione Granger!"

"Oh, no. OK relax."

"good luck" i said while she walked up twards the stool.

"Mental that one, I'm telling you." i heard ron say. so i backhanded him.

"hey, what was that for"

"sorry i was streaching" i said then put my innocent face on.

"Ah, right then." i slightly jumped when i heard the hat talk. then i heard draco and ron laugh at me.

"dont make me slap you again" i said in one of those diva voices.

Hum… Right. Okay, Gryffindor!" a smile is plastered on her face and she goes to the gryffidor table.

"Draco Malfoy!" he walks up to the stool and the hat barely even touches him and it screams "slytherin" he smiles as wide as hemione and walks to slytherin table

i hear ron whisper to harry saying "There's no witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin."

"jessica ashton!"

"go get em jess" she walked up and waited for the hat to pick.

"hum either ravenclaw, or gryffindor, hum, gryffindor" she walked off and sat across from hermione.

"josey klint!"

"he strode up there acting cool like he always does"

"oh this is too easy, slytherin"

and you know the drill by now.

"Susan Bones!"

then i heard potter say ow.

"Harry what is it?"

"Nothing. Nothing, I'm fine"

"no your not whats wrong"

"nothing just leave me alone"

i started to tear up when he snapped at me so i turned around to the sorting hat.

"im sorry i was just" but i held up my hand to motion him to stop then i wiped a tear away.

"hufflepuff"

"michael davis"

he did just the same as josey.

"come on give me a challenge. slytherin"

"ron weasly"

"Ha! Another Weasley! I know just what to do with you… Gryffindor!"

he sighed with relive which made me laugh for some reason.

"Harry Potter."

The Hall comes alive with students trying to get a look at Harry as he goes to sit on the stool. McGonagall places that hat on his head.

" Hmmm… Difficult, very difficult. Plenty of courage, I see. Not a bad mind either. There's talent, oh yes, and a thirst to prove yourself. But where to put you…"

i heard harry say " Not Slytherin, not Slytherin!" what the hell. i was the farthest away from the hat and harry and i could hear clearly and the people the closest couldnt hear them. what the hell.

"Not Slytherin eh? Are you sure? You could be great you know. It's all herein your head. And Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness, there's no doubt about that. No?" what doesnt that stupid hat get not slytherin.

"Please, Please anything but Slytherin, anything but Slytherin."

"Well if you're sure, better be… Gryffindor!"

lots of cheers from the Gryffindor table.

two twins were chanting "we got potter! we got potter!" which made me laugh. they were cute.


more and more people were called up. finally i got called up

"jenna moon" i was so nervious but i walked up there and sat on the stool.

"hum You might belong in Hufflepuff, Where they are just and loyal, Those patient Hufflepuffs are true, And unafraid of toil" "no, Or in wise old Ravenclaw, If you've a ready mind, Where those of wit and learning, Will always find their kind, no,You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve and chivalry Set Gryffindors apart. no Or perhaps in Slytherin, You'll make your real friends, Those cunning folk use any means,To achieve their ends. maybe" that stupid hat was on like that for over 20 minutes. after five minutes i was embarased. then ten minutes instead of mummbling he had to say out loud "maybe hufflepuff you look incencent enough." that was enough to make hermione, jess, michael, and josey burst up laughing. everyone stared at them like they were crazy.

"i hate you hat you know that"

"what did i do"

"your the reason my friends are laughing at me. and now i have to slap them when i get off this stool."

"umm, moving on"

"finally, so what house am i in."

"i dont know. its like you have four spirits that each belong in a different house. why is this so hard for me."

"well you did ask for a challenge."

when it went past twenty i was starving. i could tell everyone was hungry too. now i was super bored. oh no. i know that look. hermione always freaks when it happens. i looked at my hair and sure enough my streaks were changing from black to white. and i was infront of everyone in hogwarts so they saw it to. great now it changed from white to red. way to go emotions. see my hair is like a mood ring. but by tirty minutes i got over my hair changing.they were going to find out anyway. so it changed back to white. man im so hungry. wait i got some Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans from the train. i took them out and grabbed some out of the box.

" what is that?" the hat asked.

"Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans"

"your not supposed to eat yet"

"well to bad im hungry so im gonna eat and no ones gonna stop me." then i put one in my mouth.

"bubble gum." but it changed into actual bubble gum. i know thats not supposed to happen. i blew a bubble and it came out as words. it spelt "Gryffindor and slythirin" everyone was shocked.

"what's going on here. has this happened to anyone before."

"no. never. what is your name again." the hat asked.

"jenna moon"

"well jenna you are one weird girl"

"why do you say that"

"because i cant get anything about you and all this stuff is happening to you. but ive come to a conclusion"

"that were all hungry and we need to eat"

"griffindor"

"finaly" i murrmerd to myself as i walked to the grtffindor table.

"Your attention please." McGonagall said

then Dumbledore said the words i was waiting for "Let the feast begin!"
the feast, hurt feelings, and the common room

Suddenly the plates before everyone are filled with food. i grabbed anything and started
